PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY July 5 2010 to July 11 2010 Monday July 5 Dear Jonathan, Uranus was only discovered in 1781. Apparently it rules sudden awakenings and social shifts. So was there no planet for these topics beforehand? And... who decides what they rule? Alison Dear Alison, To me, a new planet can only signify something that did not exist before it was discovered. Uranus was found just as the Montgolfier Brothers launched the first hot-air balloon in France, while Volta and Galvani were performing crucial experiments in Italy. It rules flight and electricity for sure... but I feel less convinced about the social phenomena that my predecessors linked it to. Tuesday July 6 Woman Rises Down Under Mr Cainer, During the presidential election run-off in the US, you predicted that a woman would lead the most powerful nation on Earth. Perhaps your readings were telling you something else. After all, Australia is the only industrialised nation to have escaped the downturn relatively unscathed, so it must be pretty powerful. And it now has a female leader. Abbi Dear Abbi, While it's fascinating to see how Julia's rise to high office matches that vision that I had and kind of you to offer me a 'get out clause', the fact is: I jumped to the wrong conclusion! Wednesday July 7 Divination Complication Dear Jonathan, I am a Christian and have been told that astrology is the work of the Devil. I enjoy your forecasts - but if they're considered divination, I'll have to stop reading them. Sean Dear Sean, What do you think about war? Isn't that 'the work of the Devil?' And haven't many wars, from the ancient crusades to the recent conflicts in Iraq, been supported, even led, by staunch Christians? And doesn't the nativity story involve three 'wise men' whose divinations over a star lead them to the baby Jesus? I'm not so sure that it's all so simple! I will be talking at Green Phoenix Festival Thursday July 8 Cosmic Cross Kids Hi Jonathan, My first grandchild is due in early October. Will the Cosmic Cross have an effect on children born around his time? Dee Dear Dee, Though the rare Cosmic Cross is at its strongest between now and mid-August, it remains powerful till October. Just as it will change the attitudes of those who are 'already here', it will ensure that new arrivals are equipped with psychological resources to cope in a dramatically different world. They'll eventually look back on the early 21st century with much the same horrified amazement as we view the world of Queen Victoria. Friday July 9 Hollow Earth? Hi Jonathan, Polar openings? Is our Earth hollow? There seems to be lots of scientific evidence on the subject. Cat Hi Cat, When I first saw your letter, I was baffled. Then, I typed those phrases into a search engine. Now I can see what has captured your imagination. Perhaps it is true. Perhaps it isn't. Or perhaps it's just that whole, 'is it or isn't it true?' business that makes it so very interesting! I suppose, though, that a hollow Earth would help to explain where socks and ballpoint pens end up when they vanish from our homes. Saturday July 10 Your Week Ahead Every year brings at least one solar and lunar eclipse. These glorious events are full of symbolic significance. They signify the chance to create a new reality for all, regardless of whether or not we are living in the region from which the eclipse can be seen. This week brings a powerful solar eclipse that may allow us one more fleeting glimpse of Comet McNaught, before it leaves our solar system forever. It is yet another omen of powerful yet positive, change for the whole world in the coming months. Sunday July 11 Your Week Ahead Part Two Every year brings at least one solar and lunar eclipse.
