Signs of the Stars

Davies, who has often appeared on TV talk shows and writes regularly for British and American publications, offers ""celebrity charts''horoscope readings for Goldie Hawn, Dustin Hoffman, Cher, Paul McCartney, Rona Barrett, Liza Minnelli and 30 other top names. He also offers birth data and brief astrological rundowns for over 100 other people, including President Reagan, Dick Cavett, Donovan, Twiggy, Madonna and Sean Penn. Unfortunately, what could be a vehicle for intriguing insider storiesDavies claims to be a close friend of many of his subjectsis a rather bland exercise, in large part because, as Davies writes, ``I also do not consider myself a gossip, and my clients appreciate the fact that their private lives are kept secret by me.'' Indeed, he has nothing more to say about an encounter with David Merrick other than ``it was a fascinating meeting.'' Photos unseen by PW. (August)
