PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY March 4 2013 to March 10 2013 Monday March 4 Not So Wise Men Hi Jonathan, I would like to respond to Linda who states that the Magi used astrology to locate the Christ child. That is correct, but it was to seek out the child, to destroy him. That is why the Church distrusts astrology. This does not mean that astrology is bad, just that it was used for a bad purpose. Magan Dear Magan, Aha! I always wondered about that. Why, if those wise men in the Bible were really so wise, did they ever tell King Herod who they were out looking for? Hadn't they cast his birth chart too? Tuesday March 5 Powers That Be Hi Jonathan, The Catechism of the Catholic Church (Section 2116) states: 'All forms of divination are to be rejected: recourse to Satan or demons, conjuring up the dead or other practices falsely supposed to unveil the future. Consulting horoscopes, astrology, palm-reading, interpretation of omens and lots, the phenomena of clairvoyance, and recourse to mediums all conceal a desire for power over time, history, and, in the last analysis, other human beings, as well as a wish to conciliate hidden powers. They contradict the honour, respect, and loving fear that we owe to God alone. Jeffrey. Dear Jeffrey, I guess I'd better retract my application for that vacancy at the Vatican. Wednesday March 6 Power Outage Dear Jonathan, I seem to recall you saying 2013 would bring concealed truths to the surface, and that many people in positions of power would find themselves out of those positions, not so much 'under a cloud' but in a blaze of unwelcome light! I paraphrase, but wasn't this the gist of your prediction? Raymond Dear Raymond, I may have said something along those lines regarding the series of seven squares from Uranus to Pluto between 2012-2015. But I try not to dwell on what I got right lest it obliges me to remember what I got wrong! Thursday March 7 Emotionally Charged Dear Jonathan, Recently, Del wrote about how her sadness generates bubbles in water. For years, when I became enraged, I seemed to blow a light bulb when turning on the switch. Or when on the phone, venting to a friend, their phone would shut off and completely lose charge. This used to scare me but I later discovered it is known as Street Light Interference. Amy PS When I am sad, I often see butterflies and dragonflies. Dear Jonathan, Ever since I was a teenager, light bulbs near me would often explode or go out suddenly when I was upset. Cecilia Friday March 8 Waterworks Dear Jonathan, One evening, shortly after my mother's death, I went to make a pot of tea. I filled the kettle, clicked it on, measured the tea... and then found the kettle was empty. Suddenly I remembered being five. My mother filled a glass of water, then emptied it slowly into the sink. She explained it had gone into the drain, the pipes, the lakes. From there, it would evaporate into the air and become a cloud. She said: 'Whatever is, can never not be.' At that moment, I cried, then laughed... and made a cup of tea! Victoria Saturday March 9 Your Week Ahead - Comet Ahoy! Some people have already been deeply moved by the rare and impressive sight of Comet Panstarr. I'll have more to say soon, on the daily page, about how best to spot the comet. But even if you haven't yet noticed anything special, indeed even if you don't look even briefly at the sky this week, you should be aware that this comet heralds a time of powerful change. If you've got a dream that used to seem too far-fetched or you've long yearned to heal an old wound, this could be when it all finally starts to happen. Sunday March 10 Week Ahead - Love Focus Remember, your Love Forecast today doesn't just cover romance. A love forecast may also have something to say about your family life, your closest friendships and even some of your most important working relationships.
