Secondly, the Earth’s a Libra.
The Astrological prediction for Libra in the “Your Stars Today” column of the Tadfield Advertiser, on the day this history begins, read as follows:

LIBRA. September 24 - October 24.
“You may be feeling run down and always in the same old daily round. Home and family matters are highlighted and are hanging fire. Avoid unnecessary risks. A friend is important to you. Shelve major decisions until the way ahead seems clear. you may be vulnerable to a stomach upset today, so avoid salads. Help could come from an unexpected quarter.”

This was perfectly correct on every count except for the bit about the salads
