    Choose your character. Choose a number and then find that number below. Your fortune awaits.

    Choose your character. Choose a number and then find that number below. Your fortune awaits.

    1. Next full moon be sure to wear your sparkliest clothes. The moon will shine extra brightly in solidarity with you. Don’t bother dressing up on a crescent, she won’t be ready yet, but rest assured that on that glorious full moon night the radiance that the pair of you emit will be the talk of the town.
    2. You will go for a midnight swim soon. It will seem like a great idea as you’re taking off your clothes but by the time your knees hit the water, you’ll realise the agony that awaits you. You hear the voice of your mother telling you how silly you are for gallivanting in the middle of the night (and straight after eating, no less!). As you begin to make your way back to the shore you realise your mother sounds an awful lot like an Irish man… You turn back around to be greeted with the white stripes of a clownfish singing you a sea shanty.
    3. A bald man in a green jumper will make you a sandwich. Three slices of tomato on multigrain bread. It will be delicious. You will go home in shock, rattled by the experience: How could such simplicity taste so good? You’ll lie in bed that night with visions of flax and sunflower seeds. The next day you’ll wake up feeling emptier and craving that sandwich high. But whatever you do, don’t ask him for another one. 
    4. Start knitting, there’s going to be a cold pigeon coming your way. She prefers the colour yellow and would rather a beanie than gloves – easier to walk. Any soft yarn will do. She’s not picky but she’s freezing cold! The least you could do is make her something fashionable.
    5. I’ve been in touch with the bees. They say you should sing more. You have a lovely voice and they’re desperate to add some percussive buzzzzzing to your rendition of Miley Cyrus’ 2009 smash hit ‘Party in the U.S.A.’ The bees are big pop fans. Anyway, it’s up to you… no pressure if you’re not into it — the bees are pretty laid back. 
    6. You’re going to cry soon. I’m sorry to break the news to you this way. It’s really not something people want to hear. Alas, it will be full-on sobbing too, there’s no getting away with a movie-scene singular teardrop. Don’t waste time fretting about it though, because when the sobbing begins, very close by will be a ladybird watching you cry and putting a blessing on you. You won’t hear or see her, but she will be there.
    7. Purple really makes your eyes pop! Wear it more and people will be bewitched when they look at you. Just be careful not to accidentally curse them… Unless you’re into that sort of thing… Oh of course you’re into that sort of thing, I know your type. I shouldn’t have told you this…
    8. Ahoy, matey! The sea will play a major role in your life in the upcoming four months. These months will tell you a lot about yourself and your values, so bring a journal – You can’t waste this learning experience! Oh, and buy a raincoat and some gumboots; you will get wet.

    We acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land, the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation. The University of Sydney – where we write, publish and distribute Honi Soit – is on the sovereign land of these people. As students and journalists, we recognise our complicity in the ongoing colonisation of Indigenous land. In recognition of our privilege, we vow to not only include, but to prioritise and centre the experiences of Indigenous people, and to be reflective when we fail to be a counterpoint to the racism that plagues the mainstream media.
