PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY May 28 2012 to June 3 2012 Monday May 28 Alien Territory Dear Jonathan, Of course UFOs are acknowledged, they are just unidentified. If or when they are identified they could be called IFOs. But that would not be of any use to people who want there to be a conspiracy. Paul Jonathan, Whilst the UK government may think that declassifying UFO sightings is a step up, we still want to see what the government is hiding. America has a lot more than they are telling us. People will keep believing everything their governments say until the US introduce us to one of their 'aliens' hiding out in underground bases. Melissa Tuesday May 29 In Neutral Last week, I spoke about the astrologer's duty to remain impartial. Nobody in my profession should ever make a prediction about a matter with which they feel personally involved. This is for much the same reason that doctors shouldn't try to diagnose their own symptoms. How can anyone be objective if they have an emotional bias? But recently, I found myself defying my own counsel. I was asked whether World War III was imminent. I replied that it wasn't. I'm still sure that's true. But I must confess that I wasn't really answering that from an entirely neutral viewpoint! Wednesday May 30 Kiss and Tell Dear Jonathan, I'm Libran, aged 36. I was wondering whether it is or is not the best of times for a first kiss whilst Venus is retrograde? Alana Dear Jonathan, You have written optimistically about Venus being retrograde. But several years ago I noticed that my relationships with exceptional men soured during such periods. They chose to go back to their former flames. Pat Dear Pat, Dear Alana, All life's great adventures have their risks and there's no such thing as a time when any situation can be guaranteed totally trouble-free. But some risks are surely worth taking! Thursday May 31 Bard News In one of the daily forecasts recently, I quoted from Shakespeare and explained that the famous phrase, 'Wherefore art thou Romeo?' doesn't mean, 'Where are you?' but 'Why are you here under my balcony?' Several readers have since written in to point out that actually, it means 'Why does the person I love turn out to be a member of a family who hates my family.' I don't think this adversely affected the analogy within the prediction but accuracy matters to me, so I'd like to thank everyone who has taken the trouble to set me straight on this. Friday June 1 Phenomenal June Welcome to June, a month rich in historic astrological phenomena. Monday brings a glorious lunar eclipse. Then on Tuesday evening/ Wednesday morning, depending on where you are on the planet, there's a chance to benefit from the Transit of Venus. There won't be another moment when the planet of love passes in front of the Sun in broad daylight till the year 2117. This is deeply auspicious and heralds a real positive turning point for us all. It will be interesting to see how quickly it dispels much of the doom and gloom we keep hearing in the news. Saturday June 2 Your June Monthly Forecast This is the month we have been waiting for. June brings a glorious lunar eclipse plus a rare transit of Venus. It also brings yet another sharp encounter between Uranus and Pluto. These two planets have been squaring up to each other for a couple of years, like boxers trading insults before a fight. Every so often, they get into the ring, creating dramas in the world of global finance and politics. Yet the overall message from the sky is one of 'softening and sweetening'. The main thing we'll notice is how much more inspired and hopeful we feel. Sunday June 3 Sunday Love Forecasts Linked from this page today, and every Sunday, you will find the Sunday Love Forecasts.
