Despite the Cowboys beating the Brisbane Broncos , North Queenslanders are less starry eyed than you would expect , no doubt due to the fact that , without any explanation or warning that the sky is about to fall in , the regular , syndicated zodiac column by Shelley von Strunckel ,70, was dropped on September 13 ( a number regarded as unlucky) from the weekly give away Townsville Sun , inserted in the Townsville Bulletin each Tuesday .
Up until that day, the newspaper readers got not one but two servings of the stars each Tuesday, the regular Bulletin daily horoscope hombre , Oscar Cainer , nephew of the syndicated former star gazer , Jonathan Cainer , who died in May this year , but his columns miraculously appeared for some time after his departure from the planet , and von Strunckel's frothy words.
Strunckel's "positive forecasts" also got a run in the Cairns Post and other Murdoch papers. Born in California , in the rag trade before becoming a tabloid astrologer, von Strunckel probably consoled herself at being sucked into a Murdoch media black hole by downing a glass or two of bubbly as she is also a noted "champagne mystic". Watch this space for comets and wayward asterisks .
