As soon as I heard the lines “he must have mercury in a reticent sign. I reckon it must be Capricorn in a square or may be in opposition to Saturn. It could also be mercury in retrograde.” I knew I’d be hooked. I think I’ll have to give this one a re-read!

DNF'd for medical content. It's a shame, because I was enjoying this quirky book but I can't handle the descriptions of bodily issues at the moment.
