By the way, I'm only giving about 1/4 of the info in the book out - it also discusses health, love, career and destiny, people you're drawn to and luck maker. It has amused me for hours - one of my best garage sale finds ever.

Mumbo jumbo, all of it. Superstitious claptrap. Why on Earth would I want a reading for February 6th? What possible bearing could the day you were born, February 6th, have on the rest of your life, let alone your character. I can't believe how many normally level-headed people on this forum appear to be suckers for this kind of nonsense. Obviously none of you were born on Februaury 6th, that's all I can say.

That's too bad, as February 6th is particularly juicy.
