PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY September 6 2010 to September 12 2010 Monday September 6 Hi Jonathan, I was just wondering if you have any thoughts on the state of the 'non-result' of the Australian election. Do you think they will have long to wait to find out what will happen? Will they be going back a second time to vote? Liz Dear Liz, This is a classic case of Mercury retrograde. The outcome will be clear by the time Mercury turns direct this coming weekend. I really don't foresee a second election. Given my track record with political forecasting, I am nervous about predicting that Julia Gillard will be PM. But I'm predicting it, anyhow! Tuesday September 7 Twin Set Hello Jonathan, Recently on TV, I saw an astrologer saying that people born on the same day of the same year were Astro Twins, and explaining, through documented evidence, how these people often have amazing similarities. You immediately came into my mind as someone who could run an experiment to test this. Rosalyn Dear Rosalyn, That's a great suggestion. I've long been aware of the uncanny coincidences between the lives of Astro Twins - or 'Time Twins' as I prefer to call them. I'll now think about the best way to collect data and compare life stories. Watch this space! Wednesday September 8 For Your Eyes Only Hi Jonathan, I'm a Libran. My husband has left me for another Libran. Your daily forecast helps and gives me hope, till I remember it's her horoscope too! Surely all the nice things that are meant to be happening to me won't be for her as well? L Dear L, Obviously, in full traditional astrology, your birth chart and her charts will be very different, even if you are both Librans. But here, in the realm of sun sign astrology, please just read your daily forecast as if it is for you and for nobody else in the world. Thursday September 9 In a Rut Dear Jonathan: I think you said, some time back, that Saturn was 'exalted' in Libra. But, ever since Saturn moved into Libra, I feel as if something in the universe has been aiming a series of sharp blows at my posterior. Ditto for every other Libran I know. I've had it up to here already! So, when does the 'exaltation' kick in? Benley Dear Benley, Sometimes, when we're stuck in a rut, we don't find it easy to set ourselves free. Saturn is effectively imposing the discipline, determination and direction necessary to ensure that Librans reposition themselves more constructively. Friday September 10 Pulling Power Hello Jonathan! I am a Gemini. Why am I attracted to Sagittarian women? I am completely unaware of their sign beforehand - but most often it turns out to be Sagittarians who I seem to get on well with. Is it the 'opposite' thing or something more subtle? It's like a magnet! Richard Dear Richard, Gemini is the opposite sign to Sagittarius. Opposites attract, as you say in your letter, like a 'magnet'. That doesn't mean they make ideal partners... nor even that Gemini women will necessarily experience quite the same pull towards Sagittarian men. But it's a powerful phenomenon. Saturday September 11 Your Week Ahead Venus entered Scorpio last week. Mars, this week, moves into the same sector of the sky. The two planets of love in the sign of passion suggest many hearts may soon beat faster. Mercury, meanwhile, changes direction... ending its retrograde phase and enabling progress wherever there has lately been complication or delay. The big news of the week, though, is surely Jupiter's conjunction to Uranus. Look out for news, on TV or maybe even in your personal life, that somehow 'changes everything' for the better in ways we once felt we might never dare allow ourselves to hope for. Sunday September 12 Your Week Ahead - Part Two Venus entered Scorpio last week. Mars, this week, moves into the same sector of the sky. The two planets of love in the sign of passion suggest many hearts may soon beat faster. Mercury, meanwhile, changes direction... ending its retrograde phase and enabling progress wherever there has lately been complication or delay.
