Aries: Reminder: from Thursday the club meeting starts at 7:00 and not 7:15. I'm singling you out because you're always late anyway and we want to start the movement on time go get through all the boards by 10:00.

Taurus: Slow Saturday mornings are a perfect time for two things: getting over a hangover and ending the discussion of the hands from the Wednesday game.

Gemini: You have your convention card ready for the big weekend event and you have four copies printed out. Now is the time to be realistic: take a couple of blank ones with you for you team mates. Better still, fill out cards that outline what you feel they should play. Maybe another two copies of your card then?

Cancer: Have a little faith and take a leap into 6NT. All it requires is for partner to have her bids and the contract will surely be cold. And truly this is the kind of faith that can move mountains.

Leo: You're moving up from minor to major player and people are beginning to notice. The next step is to add no-trumps to your bow and you'll soon be good enough to win the local club game.

Virgo: You are not convinced that the tournament director is doing his job properly. You feel that you could do a better job. Seize the moment and volunteer. We need more directors! Go on, it's only once every five weeks, and if you join the rota, it'll be only once every six weeks. Please?!

Libra: You need to work on your claiming skills. Practice in the mirror at home: "I'm going to draw the rest of the trumps, cash my ace of clubs and then cross to dummy's good diamonds." Say it with confidence. Practice throwing you cards face up on the table.

Scorpio: Try to avoid making a decision about things until you have to. Get out of the habit of jumping to game opposite your partner's one level opening bids. Don't cash aces at the first possible opportunity. Gather the facts together and try to make plays that are unlikely to cost.

Sagittarius: Your mind is going into overload and you need to calm down if you are going to see the best line of play. Take deep breaths and wander to the bar between hands. And while you're at the bar, buy me a pint of the brown stuff, will ya?

Capricorn: Your reading the horoscope at work will get you into trouble with your boss. He doesn't buy into 'all that stars nonsense'. But there's more to it than he thinks. See, he's coming up behind you right now.

Aquarius: Constructive bidding is pointless for the next week or so: either preempt on every hand, or go and play golf.

Pisces: Like an alcoholic, you will have a moment of clarity today and realise that the best way to play board 14 is a high cross-ruff. While this will get you a top, you will revert to type thereafter and everything will be shrouded in a misty haze.
