Here's my summary, thank you!

It all started on a typically warm windy day in California...a long way from Yorkshire and the dank, dark streets of Leeds. A man saunters into a run down second hand book shop just off Venice beach and begins listlessly leafing through a pile of New Age books scattered in a chaos of covers, all promising instant life changes.

And on this occasion, against all the odds, that's exactly what happened.

The book that caught his gaze was entitled "Sunsigns - A Guide to your Perfect Planetary Partner." And although he did not know it, he was directly on the cusp of astrological fortune.

Mercury the old winged messenger, who blows both hot and cold, was at that exact moment in favourable aspect to Leo in his fourth house, Unconsciously spurred by this, he searches his pockets and discovers $2 in change. The price of the book? $2. A sign!

Book bought, he set off down the boardwalk to read it amid the palm trees and roaring breakers.

It's hard to imagine now how so small a moment, how such an infinitesimal slice of time can ripple ravenously out into the universe but it did, as you will see.
