PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY

August 8 2011 to August 14 2011


Monday August 8
New Labour

Later today, I may have a new grandson. His mother has been past her due date for days. She has spent so much time wondering what her child may be waiting for that she has even asked me to draw up several horoscopes, each for a different possible birthday. I keep telling her that I can't be objective, that an astrologer should not make predictions for their own families - and that there's no such thing as a perfect or a terrible birthchart. But she doesn't seem to be listening!

Tuesday August 9
Born Free

Lately, I've been keeping an even closer eye on the sky than usual. I've been remembering that I used to write a piece called 'Babies born today...' and wondering about reviving it. I've watched Mars, late last week, move from Gemini to Cancer and reflected on the different temperaments these two influences bestow. On Monday, I noticed Mercury slipping out of Virgo into Leo and contemplated which planetary placement I might prefer in my own chart. And I've been reminding myself that it's not what my grandson has in his horoscope that counts... but what he makes of it!

Wednesday August 10
Riot Act

The London riots, largely, are symbolised by the current square between Mars and Uranus. We've seen the worst already. The wave of anxiety gripping the financial markets is chiefly to do with Mercury Retrograde - plus a series of special additional factors. We've got a several more bumpy months ahead in the world of stocks and shares but there's not going to be a global economic collapse. The long, ongoing right angle between Uranus and Pluto, through the rest of the year and into 2012 speaks of people 'facing their worst fears' but not, necessarily of those fears coming true.

Thursday August 11
Present Moment

Hi Jonathan,
I do not know how to read your forecast and still be focused in the present moment. This is the only way to find fulfilment and peace - yet, when I read your predictions, I build up expectations. Any advice? Monica

Dear Monica,
Which particular present do you mean? The present you were in when you began writing your letter? The present you will be in when you get to the end of this sentence? The best way to stay in the present is to relax and stop striving to make your spiritual focus all present and correct!


Friday August 12
Marvelous Night for a Moon Dance

Welcome to yet another Full Moon weekend. I hereby repeat what's fast becoming a regular warning. Alcohol, when the Moon is full, has a more intoxicating effect than at any other time of the month. You need less to get you tipsy. Nor is the effect of booze the only thing that a Full Moon exacerbates. Tempers fray more readily, passions rise more rapidly, fears intensify more easily and laughter comes more naturally. Basically, if you are having a strong reaction to anyone or anything, whether the response is positive or negative, it is likely to amplify or magnify.

Saturday August 13
Your Week Ahead

Our week begins with a Full Moon and goes on to bring an invisible conjunction of Venus and Mercury. There's a whole story in that. The Full Moon always heralds excitement, danger, trouble, passion and potentially, great delight. Always, though, there's an edge of conflict. A conjunction of Venus and Mercury implies a soothing, healing, peaceful, prosperous development. The fact that it is invisible (too close to the Sun to be seen) speaks of a highly helpful development taking place in the background, even while a drama takes centre stage.

Your Week Ahead - Love Focus
