PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY
November 19th to November 25th 2007
MONDAY November 19
Sharing the same vision
Dear Jonathan,
On Sunday I woke with two female names in my head. One was Nagulu or Namulu. Roberta
Dear Jonathan,
My two-year-old daughter recently talked about two babies coming to visit. I did not recognise the names. Kathryn
Dear Jonathan,
I dreamed two goldfish were flying over my house. Mags
Dear Everyone,
I think our world needs a 'consciousness monitoring facility'. Hundreds of artists could be having the same vision. Thousands of children could be seizing on the same idea. Millions of us could be having the same dream each night. How would we ever know? Jonathan

Are there really 13 signs?
Hi Jonathan,
I am a Sagittarian but I often find the Scorpio prediction more accurate. I remember reading that there were originally 13 houses in the zodiac and we should always read the sign in front? Is that right?
Amanda
Dear Amanda,
Never, over the thousands of years that historians have tracked back this particular tradition of astrology, has it involved 13 signs. If you relate better to the Scorpio forecast, it may be because, in your full horoscope, you have a planet in this sign. Even so, these forecasts are Sun Sign forecasts. I recommend you stick with Sagittarius!

Large Hadron Collider
Dear Jonathan
I hear the "Large Hadron Collider" located beneath the earth in Switzerland is being switched on next week. This massive particle accelerator involves 7000 scientists who hope to produce the elusive "Higgs Boson", often dubbed the God Particle, and get definitive answers about the nature of space and time. But some think this may have devastating results! What do you predict?
Lee
Dear Lee Actually it's not due to open till May 2008 because recently, a magnet broke. I predict the biggest black hole this project will ever create.. is one in the budget provided to pay for it! Jonathan

THURSDAY November 22
Giant step for mankind
Imagine you are an ant. Every so often, a giant cloud appears above you. If you don't scurry away it may descend to squash you. What causes it? Most ants blame the weather. Some "scientist ants" though, have a theory involving things called "people". These "people" could be unbelievably enormous. Those clouds could be just the soles of their feet. That, very roughly, is the kind of idea the Hadron Collider, in Switzerland, is being built to investigate. I made light of the experiment yesterday but actually, I predict it will soon revolutionise our understanding of time... and space.

SATURDAY November 24
Full moon comment
Another week, another Full Moon. Once every four weeks, we get one of these, regular as clockwork. Sadly, though, we don't have a clockwork calendar. We count the months according to some silly, primitive system, dreamed up by some bad mathematicians many centuries ago. We ignore that beautiful, obvious, timepiece in the sky and the 28-day cycle that the whole of the rest of nature follows. No wonder we sometimes feel so out of tune with ourselves and with the world around us. The real calendar is the one in the sky. Later this week, its influence may become unignorable.
