PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY January 7 2008 to January 13 2008 Monday January 7 Now is the Time. Live TV shows are always broadcast with a delay so that offensive remarks can be cut. Some are filmed earlier but 'as if they were live'. Others are officially live, but are so dull that they have hardly any life in them. Some folk are having a debate about when a transmission is or isn't live. We could have a similar debate about this page.. When are you reading it? Now! When did I write it? Well.... er.... ask any esoteric philosopher or quantum physicist. Ultimately, all time is the same time. There's only one now. And that's now! Tuesday January 8 Aung San Suu Kyi Few people have heard of Aung San Suu Kyi. She deserves, in 2008, to become better known. Suu Kyi is, to Burma, what Nelson Mandela once was to South Africa. This peaceful campaigner for democracy has been kept prisoner by the military government for decades. I wish I could predict freedom, as well as fame for her this year. For Osama Bin Laden, in 2008. I predict an end to life in the shadows. Soon we will all know where he is and where he has been. And the current, shocking situation in Kenya will become much more stable. Wednesday January 9 Trading places Some astronomers think that millions of years ago, Neptune and Uranus traded places. This is a fascinating theory, as is the notion that Mercury was once much larger and further from the Sun. Another idea is that where the asteroid belt lies today, a giant celestial body once exploded. Sadly, none of this explains why Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton appear to have traded places in the affections of the Democrat party. Several people have asked me whether I still want to stick with my forecast of a female US president. For the record, I never retract a prediction. Thursday January 10 Riding the 2008 roller coaster 2008 has already become a roller coaster ride for many people. More ups and downs await. As fast as we think we know which direction we're heading in, things change. That's unnerving for those who like things to stay the same. It's also a challenge to astrologers who often rely for the success of their predictions on the fact that most folk, most of the time, do whatever's most obvious. It is now getting harder to see what the obvious IS. But unless you like living in a superficial world, that's fine. WIth complexity comes depth, growth and wisdom.
