JON KNIGHT - HIS FUTURE PREDICTED!

Is Jon Knight really planning to jack in the New Kids and become a telly soap star? Last week's Number One looked at the evidence and now we "cordially" invite astrologist extraordinaire Russell Grant to draw up Jon's birthchart and predict what his spook future really holds!

Jonathan is always on the go and his brain would really know your block off! JK can't stand being bored and, if he gets fed up with anything or anyone, he's off like a Texas Ranger searching for adventure. He's totally mental in an intellectual way and more intelligent than Blockbusters Gold Runners.

Reading and study are all food to his hungry brain. From writing to acting, he needs to keep alert and active. Getting wrinkles worries him, and like Peter Pan, he wants to stay young and hates the thought of slowing down or being held back. As a Sagittarian he'll just love horses and four-legged friends.

On the surface Jon can be a pretty cool dude, but underneath his frosty exterior rages an emotional volcano that can sometimes make him mean and moody. He'll probably shut off from the rest of the band and want to go off on his ownsome to think things over. The strongest influence over him is a female relative, maybe his mum, who may affect how he expresses his feelings -- he's scared of getting hurt. Jonathan's certainly a mixed-up Kid when it comes to emotions, but has an optimistic streak and always looks on the bright side, despite frequently being insecure and unsure of himself. He needs roots and a familiar base to operate from to be at his best.

If Jon wasn't a New Kid then any work with animals or medical matter would bring out his healing talents. He'd make a great vet, doctor or organizer. JK likes things neat and tidy in his mind but the minute his brainbox gets muddled he backs off -- he hates confusion of any kind. "Everything has a place and there's a place for everything" would be a super motto for him when working. He'd be an OK as an actor, but Corey Haim hasn't got too much to worry about. Jon should consider working behind the camera as a director, producer or writer for total fulfillment.

The thought of marriage really appeals to this sexy little tinker, but he needs an understanding girlie who won't give him constant brain damage or non-stop hassle -- he can't stand being nagged. The missus he needs must give him support and backing and, most especially, be ambitious for him. Because he hates the thought of losing his freedom in any way, the lucky lass who walks him up the aisle mustn't be competitive, restrict him or tie him down in any way. If she does, he'll walk her back down the aisle and out of the church quicker than Bart Simpson will on jet-skies.

It's important that any career he pursues has a link with the public. He’s great with ordinary people or working by himself which is why, at times, Jon dodges the spotlight and shuns attention. But he needs some applause and theatrical fix before doing his impression of a hermit. He's a high achiever in everything he does, he craves recognition and doesn't want to be seen as a male bimbo. When he leaves the planet he's determined to be remembered for doing something worthwhile, useful and humanitarian and not just for being a member of NKOTB.

Don't be at all surprised to see Jon splitting from NKOTB soon. In fact, I’m amazed he's remained for so long as he has. A lot of talking and convincing must have gone on to persuade him to stay. JK wants to try out new things and discover aspects of his life and within himself that NKOTB cannot reach. Whether the acting scene will open out and be lasting is debatable. He's much better off looking at ways of developing his talents elsewhere in a creative or artistic media.

Spicy and exotic, you aqua babies are in with more than a chance.
