Issues like religion, education,
and philosophy will take up the
lion's share of your time this
week. Maybe you'll be helping a
child think things through or
working with a community
leader to improve things in your
neighbourhood.
Workaholic tendencies will be in
full force this week. It's hard to
tear yourself away from an
engrossing project. Don't give a
loved one unlimited access to
your bank account, or you could
be sowing the seeds of your
own credit crunch.
You're a gambler at heart, and
that's very true this week.
Fortunately, most of your risks
will pay off, particularly regarding
romance and finance. If you've
had a crush on someone, you
should make your move now
while you're virtually irresistible.
If you've got too much furniture,
go through everything
methodically and get some
professional valuations. Don't
feel pressured to keep things
out of sentiment. You can
always give such pieces to
relatives who appreciate them.
You're always able to motivate
people with a few well chosen
words. If your colleagues are
engaged in a bitter feud or your
relatives are on the verge of civil
war, step in now. Separate the
two sides and speak to them
individually.
If you're given a choice between
a flat salary or a commission, go
for the regular pay. Having a
steady income will keep your
head above water during difficult
economic times. Of course, it's
wise to put a percentage of your
pay into savings regularly.
You're bursting with vim and
vigour. Getting plenty of exercise
will stop you feeling restless. An
unexpected turn of events on
the home front gives you a lift.
People respect the way you've
handled a highly sensitive
situation.
Working with a bureaucracy
could be quite taxing but if you
stick to your guns you emerge
triumphant. Keep track of all
your spending as you may be
billed twice for the same item.
It's also important to sort out
any conflicting advice you get.
Realising a cherished goal is a
distinct possibility now. You're
more determined than ever to
overcome rivals and obstacles.
Trust your intuition when talking
with people and don't try to
instantly impose your views and
values on them.
The competition is fierce at
work, so you'll have to step up a
gear. At home you may have to
help an older relative make a
decision or guide a youngster
along a fruitful future path,
whatever you say be sure to
leave the final decision for them.
For the past few weeks, you've
been focused on what others
need. Now you're getting in
touch with your own desires. If
you are single, this would be a
good time to update your image.
You could meet someone sexy
at a club, concert or local event.
Just when you're ready to throw
in the towel, someone comes to
your rescue. A business contact,
lover, or friend is determined to
drag you across the finish line.
Lean on them whenever you feel
disheartened. Keep all your flags
flying for one last push.
Ralph McTell is no stranger
to Cambridge music lovers,
he's played the city's folk
festival more than any other
artist in its history.
As part of his UK tour, he returns
to the city on Tuesday for a gig
being put on by the Cambridge
Folk Club at the Emmanuel United
Reformed Church.
Cambridge was always going to
be a special date on the tour
because it holds some very
poignant memories for him.
"I first played the Cambridge Folk
Festival in 1969," he recalls.
"I remember it very well, I always
think of it as one of the landmarks
in my life.
"I was very young and it was the
first time I had played Streets of
London in front of a big audience.
I had been playing it around the
folk clubs and then when I got to
Cambridge the entire place
started singing along. I don't know
how I got through it, there was a
big lump in my throat. I couldn't
believe so many people knew the
words to one of my songs.
Without media support and radio
play the song had travelled by
means of the folk process and it

was a very moving experience for
me. The rest of the weekend is a
bit of a blur."
The young folk singer quickly
became a household name
thanks to the song which became
the tune of choice for every
busker in the land.
The simple tune and touching
lyrics translated perfectly onto
windswept street corners and
London Underground platforms
and became the soundtrack to a
million moments snatched from
the daily commuter drudge.
"Everyone tells me they hear it all
the time but I have only heard it
once," says Ralph.
"I was walking down Oxford
Circus tube station and I heard
someone playing it. I stopped in
my tracks because I thought he
might recognise me. I waited,
walked briskly past, and dropped
a few bob in his hat.
"It gives me quite a thrill to think of
people playing it in all kinds of
situations. You'd be amazed how
many rock stars come up to me
and say, `You'll never guess what
the first tune I ever learnt was'. I
always say, `No, do tell me,' but I
know what's coming next.
"I was in Minnesota one time
back in the 70s and I was in a bar
after a concert. A guy came up to
me and said `Man, I must owe
you hundreds of dollars'. He
wrote me out a cheque for $100
and handed it to me. `I'm a
busker,' he said. `I play that song
every day and I've recorded it on
my album'. I said, `I don't want
your money, just give me an
album. I'm so pleased it's helped
keep a roof over your head'."
