PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY
March 27th to April 2nd 2006


MONDAY March 27
Gravitational Corridors

A fascinating article in the latest edition of the New Scientist describes 'gravitational corridors' between all the major bodies in our solar system. These work rather like underground tube lines. They form a network of shifting, invisible tunnels that could allow space ships to travel using very little energy. Jupiter, apparently, is a 'central station' in this system. All this is fact, not fiction... and to me, it is a real revelation. Until now, sceptics have always insisted that no such connections exist... and that this was one reason why there could never be any logical basis for astrology! Unfortunately, the New Scientist article is only available online for subscribers but here is a link to an article from Science News covering the same subject.

TUESDAY March 28
Eclipse of the Sun

The Moon is new and, tomorrow, it will pass in front of the Sun. In some places (Libya and Turkey for example) the eclipse of the Sun will be total. In the UK, it will only be partial. And in Australia and the United States it will not be visible at all. Even if the clouds part long enough to make it visible, we won't be able to watch without special glasses. Happily though, you don't have to see an eclipse to benefit from it. You just have to be 'open' to the idea that positive change can happen, no matter how stale things seem. Then, somehow, the rare alignment of Earth, Sun and Moon makes it possible.

The path of the Moon's umbral shadow begins at the eastern tip of Brazil around 8am (Universal Time; 4am local time) and extends across the Atlantic, northern Africa, Libya, Chard, Egypt and Turkey. Visible in Ankara at 11am (Universal Time; 1pm local time). The path continues through central Asia, ending at sunset in western Mongolia. A partial eclipse will be seen within the much broader path of the Moon's penumbral shadow, which includes the northern two thirds of Africa, Europe, and central Asia.

WEDNESDAY March 29
Eclipse of the Sun - Part 2

Greetings,
"My partner and I are both Geminis. I never know, when I read your daily prediction, whether it is appropriate for me... or her."
Shyam

Dear Shyam,
Normally, I'd say, 'Read your own prediction as if it applies to you alone. Think only of your partner while reading her prediction. Ignore the fact that both predictions contain the same words. They have different meanings for each of you. Er... as you are a Gemini, though, I might also advise you to read your own forecast twice... just to make sure you agree with yourself about what it means!

Here is a photo of the eclipse from this morning, taken by one of our back room staff who is on holiday on the island of Cyrpus. The eclipse was only partial there but everyone was out to experience the eerie twilight that descended over an otherwise sunny day.


THURSDAY March 30
Both Geminis email

FRIDAY March 31
Astrology based on symbolism email

Hello Jonathan,
If astrology is based on symbolism and symbolism is an abstract notion. how can it physically affect our lives?
Danielle

Dear Danielle,
Pick up a banknote and look at it. It's only a piece of paper but It has such great 'symbolic meaning' that your physical life will change dramatically depending on how many such notes you have and what numbers are printed on them. Numbers too, are 'abstract notions'. All our lives revolve around things which symbolise other things. Astrologers believe that celestial alignments symbolise the symbols that mean most to us at any given time.


SATURDAY April 1
April Fool comment

It's April 1. Once, this was a time to play practical jokes. We'd think up statements which sounded like they could be true, deliver these with a straight face then, once we'd got people believing us, we'd shout 'April Fool!' These days, fewer of us do that. It's not because we've lost our sense of humour. It's because we live in a world where nobody knows what's 'real' any more. We're surrounded by marvels that once seemed impossible yet are now part of everyday life. We are also constantly being "tricked" by politicians who will say anything to get our support or by salespeople who will tell us anything to get our money. We're just not as innocent as we used to be. Over the next few years, though, I predict a reversal of this trend. Powerful planetary changes insist we'll yet live to see a more relaxed, honest and trusting world... and that's really NOT an April Fool!

SUNDAY April 2
Saturn, Pluto and Mars

Your Week Ahead:

Saturn changes direction this week. That's great news for CAPRICORNS who can expect relief from an ongoing saga. It also suggests LEOS will find the week both challenging and rewarding in equal measure. Pluto's opposition to Mars, meanwhile, will create excitement for those born under ARIES, decisiveness to SCORPIOS... and a hectic week for the rest of us.
