ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "Will I ever win the lottery like my sister has? She’s a Sagittarius, and I’m a Virgo. What are the possibilities of this happening?"
Sagittarius is ruled by the luckiest planet, Jupiter. Many Sagittarians are lucky in that number-picking kind of way. Virgo’s luck is quite different. Virgo usually has an extremely analytical and rational mind, which dismisses the whole idea of luck with a vengeance (especially in bad times) and consigns all circumstances to chance or the need for a practical approach. This is not a bad quality, as t always forces you to plan ahead, prepare for the worst, and hope for the best. This is part of your unique luck because you will never go without being prepared or get caught in a bind you cannot get yourself out of. When others are caught in the middle of a famine, you will be the strong one because you have the ability to make a better way for yourself through planning and aiming for an improved life. Your practicality is truly a gift, and it is important to recognize it. Not everyone is blessed with it.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Chris Robinson of The Black Crowes is a Sagittarius with all the fire and adventurous spirit associated with the sign. Sagittarian rock stars have an easier time than most musicians when it comes to touring because it is the sign of travel and challenging experiences. They are most often of a worldly nature. In spite of the odds of a rock star and actress staying together in the limelight, his marriage to second-generation Hollywood royalty Kate Hudson will be a long and fruitful union of two "old souls."
