PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY September 7 2015 to September 13 2015 Monday September 7 Selfie Assessment Dear Jonathan, Do you predict the 'Selfie Generation' will have a harder time than their predecessors at shedding the notion that their pictures represent who and where they really are, better than, say, a sunset? James Dear James, I think I understand your question. I'm not sure I know the answer. But it makes me wonder. What if it is only a matter of time before human evolution catches up with technological development? Perhaps future generations will produce children whose right arms are three times longer than their left ones so they no longer have need of selfie sticks? Tuesday September 8 Catch the Wind Dear Jonathan, I caught wind of some kind of war taking place in the United States. Can you tell me anything about this? Jacqui Dear Jacqui, Where were you when you 'caught wind' of this? Somewhere on the internet, by any chance? There's definitely a kind of war going on between those who think we have something to fear from each other and those who believe that, if we all trust, we can create a glorious tomorrow. But that battle has raged since the dawn of time and may last as long unless the power of love prevails! Wednesday September 9 Sag Dear Jonathan, You recently shared a letter from a lovelorn Capricorn. I'm a Capricorn who also fell head over heels for a Sagittarius. He told me he loved me too. We went along together happily enough for three years until one day he said he wanted to live on the other side of the world and I wasn't invited. I later met a Virgo. We have been happily married for 25 years. My advice? When your Sagittarian ex-boyfriend tells you he likes your Instagram and he sends smiley faces, he's saying he's your friend and that's it. Alison Thursday September 10 Sign In, Sign Out Hi Jonathan, You said, 'Capricorn/Sagittarius is not the easiest relationship.' I, a Sagittarian, can vouch for that! After a 40-year marriage to a Capricorn, I split. Now I want to pick up the things I didn't accomplish while with him and stop denying that I want to do them! Diane. Dear All, Every relationship requires commitment and mutual respect. If we're all willing to resist wildly unhelpful statements like, 'Sign X is better than Sign Y or sign Z', we could attempt a discussion here. It may make a change from 'fate versus free will!' Friday September 11 The Eyes Have It Dear Jonathan, You shared a reader's letter about consciousness and awareness. Eastern writings suggest different creatures have varying levels. Humans have the highest potential because they can achieve (as demonstrated by various industrial, scientific and other achievements, whether constructive or destructive) incomparably greater mastery over their environments than any other species. But that is only on the material or physical level. Humans have the unique potential to achieve mystical levels of consciousness through what Socrates (an Occidental) called the eye of the mind, which sees inward, or what another great spiritual teacher referred to as the single eye. Mac Saturday September 12 Your Week Ahead Mars now forms an antagonistic alignment to Pluto. Jupiter opposes Neptune, there's a glorious solar eclipse, and Mercury is so slow that it is effectively stationary all week long. That makes this a pretty powerful time. For many it will be one that gives rise to a great sense of destiny; a feeling that opportunities long sought-after are finally starting to arise. Others may find themselves at a crossroads, unsure for a while of which way to turn next. But all of us will yet find this week has the potential to bring both clarity and comfort. Sunday September 13 Your Week Ahead - Love Focus Remember, your Love Forecast today does not 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.
