Astute salesmen from the British store Fortnum & Mason took full advantage of the Crimean War back in the 1850s. They sold picnic lunches to officers who were leading the battles at the siege of Sebastapol on the Black Sea coast. In the coming weeks, Virgo, you too can capitalize on a conflict you're not directly involved in. For best results, make sure you don't get caught in the crossfire. Cultivate neutrality, doing absolutely nothing to feed the flames of hostility. Ply your skills and offer your services with impeccable timing, slipping in and out with understated efficiency during lulls in the uproar.

As you know, I give away these weekly Free Will Astrology horoscopes free. I plan to continue doing that indefinitely. I do want to make a living from doing what I love, though, which is why I have two other horoscope features you can spend money on if you're so moved.

I'm now offering DAILY TEXT MESSAGE HOROSCOPES -- short, sweet bursts of illumination delivered seven days a week to your cell phone or other mobile device.

I've also got EXPANDED AUDIO HOROSCOPES -- weekly spoken-word musings on your destiny that run about three to four minutes. The audio horoscopes are also available by phone at 1-877-873-4888 or 1-900-950-7700.
