*shrugs*. like i said. am clearing out.

ARIES (Mar 21 - Apr 19)
Star Wars Character : THE EMPEROR
The Emperor has demonstrated his liking to inflict pain on people just
people born under the sign of Aries often do. He feels he is at the centre
of the universe and he must be in control. He enjoys being a leader and his
aggression and quick-tempered attitude also helps him with this.

TAURUS (Apr 20 - May 20)
Star Wars Character : CHEWBACCA
Chewbacca is a dependable creature but he can tend to be stubborn. He likes
material possessions and loves to win at games. He tends to hate being
bossed around or losing and he may succumb to using his physical strength
when upset.

GEMINI (May 21 - Jun 20)
Star Wars Character : EWOK
Ewoks are playful little creatures as are Geminis. They tend to be
extremely curious, craving knowledge but sometimes having short attention
spans. For the most part, they are charming and lovable beings, but they
can seem scatter-brained and highly strung at times.

CANCER (Jun 21 - Jul 22)
Star Wars Character : LUKE SKYWALKER
Luke seems to be somewhat whiney at times, but he eventually develops the
thick, hard shell of a cancer ! He is strong-willed and persistent enough
to get what he wants. He never shies away from a fight or at the first sign
of danger. Not to mention that he has begun to master the element of mind
manipulation.

LEO (Jul 23 - Aug 22)
Star Wars Character : Princess Leia
Leia adds a whole new meaning to self-assurance, which is evident in Leos.
She is a nurtursing person with great physical strength. Like many Leos,
she will see that her mission for good is completed and she is very
optimistic about the outcome.

VIRGO (Aug 23 - Sep 22)
Star Wars Character : C3PO
C3PO shows his efficiency when working for a good cause, but he tends to be
a bit fussy when it comes to doing something out of the ordinary. Like many
Virgos, he wants to stay out of the spotlight, and he does well at picking
up minute details.

LIBRA (Sep 23 - Oct 22)
Star Wars Character : Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi
As always, Obi-Wan continues forward in his pursuit of justice and he is
determined to succeed. He conveys his art of persuasion through The Force.
He displays his supreme intelligence and is very talented in obtaining
balance between himself and his surroundings.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 - Nov 21)
Star Wars Character : Han Solo
Han is a pwerful character. He also tends to be possessive and lusty, which
would explain Han's greedy nature. He feels threatened by Leia's attempt to
order him around which displays the disliking Scorpios have for people who
try to control them. He is often prone to suspicion and jealousy as seen in
The Empire Strikes Back. However, his resiliance and passion lead him to
get what he wants.

SAGGITARIUS (Nov 22 - Dec 21)
Star Wars Character : YODA
Yoda is superbly wise and he has been known to spread his wisdom widely. He
seems to be impatient and pushy when people take his teachings too lightly.
As always, his philosophical side peeks through.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 - Jan 19)
Star Wars Character : R2D2
R2D2 has ambition and inexhaustible desire to reach his goals/destination.
He is very loyal, sometimes going to great lenghs to help someone out. He
is a very social unit, winning the hearts of many with his cute
personality.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 - Feb 18)
Star Wars Character : DARTH VADER
Vader can be cruel and torment people who disagree with him, but deep down,
there is a peace-loving, friendly side to him. He has a knack for
inflicting pain on people and uses his intellect during battle.

PISCES (Feb 19 - Mar 20)
Star Wars Character : LANDO CALRISSIAN
Lando is a typical character with his head in the clouds. He is
self-sacrificing but may be too passive to stand up to Vader. He becomes
fairly pessisimistic when put under pressure. He also possesses a chameleon
ability to change according to the scenery around him.

Rings musical set for stage

A musical version of JRR Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, costing more than £8m, is planned for London's West End.

The show, planned to open in 2005, will cost more than any other theatre production ever staged in London.

"This will be like nothing the West End has ever seen before," said producer Kevin Wallace.

"We are setting out to re-create Tolkien's fantasy world on the stage and it will have a real sense of wonder and awe for the audience."

The show's £8m budget is £1.5m more than Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, currently the most expensive show on the West End.

"To do justice to the Lord of the Rings you have to pull out all the stops," Mr Wallace said.

The producers hope to take the show around the world.

The launch of the stage show will come 50 years after Tolkien's trilogy was first published as one volume.

The book's popularity has soared in the past two years, since New Zealand director Peter jackson released the first two Rings films, The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers.

The two films are already in the top 10 most successful films of all time.

The third film, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King is due to be released around the world on 17 December.

Matthew Warchus, the man behind Tell Me On A Sunday and Our House, will direct.

The project has been in development for 18 months and casting begins next spring.

Wallace said there would be a nationwide search for an actor to play young hobbit Frodo Baggins, played in the films by Elijah Wood.

He said: "There are so many great roles in the Lord Of The Rings but I think Frodo will be the most important.

"We will search far and wide to find our Frodo."
