Dear Julie,
If you like collecting memorabilia, keep it. If you don't, just bung it in the bin. Or put it in the recycling box. Or use it to line the birdcage. It's only a piece of paper!

Gareth told the Daily Mail: "I've been following Jonathan for about 15 years. He is the most accurate astrologer around." In the week before his numbers came up, Jonathan had written: "A long overdue change for the better is happening in the only way it can!" A few days later Gareth read: "As Mars enters Cancer, your world is changing yet again. Here comes a strange but pleasing week." And on the day of the draw, Jonathan wrote: "The world had better watch out. You have... fortunes to make. Expect success!"

Gareth said: "Jonathan Cainer has come up with a string of uncanny predictions over the years which have proved very close to what happened in my own life - I trust him completely. On the day of the draw my horoscope was about people sitting up and taking notice of me and I began to think my luck was in."

Gareth's windfall was triggered after winning a �10 prize on the previous lottery. He bought some extra tickets and some scratchcards. One of the scratchcards gave a �1 prize which Gareth then used to buy his winning Lucky Dip ticket. With a Lucky Dip ticket the buyer does not choose the numbers. They are picked at random and the buyer just has to ask the universe to help. And the universe really helped this time. Gareth, 54, a former factory worker from Cwmbran, South Wales, is planning to buy a farm for himself and his wife Jenny and 17-year-old daughter Hannah.

Actually, I didn't specifically predict that Gareth from South Wales would win 2.4 million pounds. I just told him that he could expect his fortunes to change for the better, quickly! Still though, it's very kind of him to speak so nicely of me. Not all Cancerians can expect such a lottery win over the next few weeks but soon, one way or another, they will all have reason to feel uplifted and empowered. Nor are Cancerians the only people now being blessed by a benign sky. Today's New Moon creates an auspicious climate for anyone, of any sign, who sincerely wants to reach for positive change, wise insight... and profound inspiration.

A "Trine" is not just something that runs on an Australian railway line! To an astrologer, it's an angle of 120 degrees between two planets. We call it a 'Trine' because it 'TRIsects' (or spans one third) of the zodiac. Such alignments are considered very auspicious. You can't always, though, actually see them taking place. This week is special. It allows us to see both Mars (at its most visible on Tuesday evening near the moon) and Jupiter (much higher and brighter). The two planets are forming a trine will culminate next weekend. If you've got a sincere, heartfelt wish, now is a good time to tell the cosmos about it!
