TUESDAY January 3 Lunar Standstill Cycle 
Next time you see the Moon, you may notice that it is a little higher in the sky than usual. You may also recall that, last summer, it was exceptionally low. Some nights, it hardly got further than the top of the trees. This Summer, it will be even closer to the horizon. This extreme seasonal contrast only happens once every eighteen and a half years or so. We call it the 'Lunar Standstill' cycle and its culmination is traditionally considered a very magical, powerful time. I shall say much more about this soon.

WEDNESDAY January 4 Time slippage - follow-up email 
On Monday, I printed a letter about a mobile phone that was receiving 'messages from the future'. Today, a reader called Julie writes: 'I also had a strange experience at New Year. My nieces, aged ten, 12 and 14 were staying with me and we were laughing about something. I suddenly saw the youngest as a sparkling, mature woman. I sensed the others were adults too, but before I could look, the moment was gone.' Expect more such odd events soon. 2006 is due to pose a profound challenge to our current perception of what's possible.

THURSDAY January 5 New Year Resolution comment 
How are you getting on with your new year resolution? Even if you have already fallen off your wagon, try climbing back aboard. New Year's Eves don't normally have much by way of special, mystical power but this one took place during the Dark of The Moon. Promises made at such times tend to have lasting power. The year is still young. Its story is still to be told. If you made a resolution on December 31 or January 1, you may yet find that it keeps on at you... until you keep on at it!

FRIDAY January 6 Stock Market comment 
Dear Jonathan,Some astrologers have predicted that 2006 will bring disaster to the stock market. What do you think? Sharon Dear Sharon, There may well be an economic slowdown later this year. Certain blue chip companies and traditional 'safe bets' could do surprisingly badly. There won't, though, be a classic 'crash' - and recovery from any downturn will happen quickly. |

SATURDAY January 7 Mercury, Venus and Sun in Capricorn 
Weekend Forecast:Mercury, Venus and the Sun are all in Capricorn this weekend. That bodes well for all who would like to improve the amount of structure in their lives. If you feel that too much is 'loose and unsettled' or that it's all 'firmly in place' but in the wrong place... here comes a chance to make a set of adjustments that leads to a much more comfortable few months ahead. |

SUNDAY January 8 New Year Resolution comment - Part 2
Your Week AheadHow's your New Year resolution coming along? If you have already slipped back, don't feel discouraged. The year 2006 is still young and, as I explained last week, it is rare for a New Year to begin on a New Moon. This bodes well for the ability to keep promises, even if, so far, they have been difficult to uphold. Usually too, soon after the New Year, some powerful planetary alignment stirs up tension and trouble. We find ourselves distracted from our higher goals by the need to tackle a crisis or deal with a drama. I'm not promising that this week will be problem free for everyone... but the sky is comparatively quiet. If you're really keen to keep working on your grand objective and if, when you stumble, you can manage to forgive yourself and try again, you may yet make extremely pleasing progress. |
