NOVEMBER 27

November 27's love for food and sensuous indulgence can get both sexes into trouble. Especially when you combine it with their perennial lack of judgement. This is the girl who gets taken out to dinner and eats everything from everybody else's plate. Unsuspecting companions visit the loo and return to find the prawns in their cocktail and the strawberries in their tart depleted. At cricket matches they'll eat half a friend's hot dog when there's a particularly good six batted and probably finish off the can of coke.

They are the Goldilocks of the firmament, stars who come out to nibble the Milky Way, pinch a bit of the Great Bear's porridge and gobble up the whole bowl which belongs to the Great Bear's pup. Apart from this food nicking tendency, November 27 is a delight, but this aspect can be irritating and could mean both sexes have to cut and run, just as Goldilocks did when she jumped out of the Three Bears' window and scuttled off into the woods.

At work, this individual is often inspired, staying late at night if necessary and wrapping up deals with great dexterity. (Don't leave a box of chocolates on your desk when November 27 is staying late or they'll all be gone in the morning.) Fortunately this individual is extremely sociable and doesn't make a song and dance about staying late if it's not necessary.

They make loving parents, although toddlers should gollop down their sausage and chips before ever-loving and expanding mum starts picking just a chip or four and maybe half a sausage or the whole one. No November 27 parent gets irate about school work and their children are not driven to over-study or over-achieve. While this mother or father wants the best for their child, and they are sticklers for thoughtfulness towards others, they won't push children to achieve. Certainly not so that their excellence will reflect well on November 27 as a parent.

A foodie and his money are soon parted.
