April 25th to April 30th 2005
MONDAY April 25 World Jump Day Oh, all right then, www.worldjumpday.org is a spoof. The website I mentioned last week is actually an internet art piece. Six hundred million people, all across the globe, won't really be jumping up and down at precisely the same moment in July in an attempt to alter the Earth's orbit. But it's the thought that counts. One day soon, we may yet find a way to unite with a small but significant gesture that helps make our world a nicer place. |
TUESDAY April 26 Leo comment In last Thursday's Leo forecast, I wanted to stress the importance of objectivity. So I wrote "Why visit a doctor when you feel under the weather? Why not just type your symptoms into an internet search engine?" A reader called Betsy has since written in to say, 'Actually I did just that... and diagnosed my own illness! My doctor later confirmed that I was right.' This, I feel, proves two things. I must be careful about the analogies I choose... and, er... you can't tell Leos ANYTHING! |
WEDNESDAY April 27 Poverty email Dear Jonathan, I feel deeply upset by all the poverty in this world. Millions suffer, at home and abroad - yet nobody seems to care. Will this ever change? Cindy
Dear Cindy, |
THURSDAY April 28 Forecasts relevants in all countries email Dear Jonathan, If the planets influence us differently when we are in different lands, are your forecasts only relevant to people in this country? Chie
Dear Chie, |
FRIDAY April 29 Personalties defined by planets and parents email Dear Jonathan, If our personalities are defined by the planets at our moment of birth, what about our parents? Don't they make a difference? And what about genetic and cultural factors? Clive
Dear Clive, |
SATURDAY April 30 May Day / Beltane comment This weekend, we ought to be upholding a great tradition. These days though, if we think of it at all, we remember the ancient fire festival of Beltane as a time of May Queens, Maypoles and Morris dancers. These though, are just the quaint and quirky remnants of a once raucous, ribald celebration. As flowers bloomed and trees burst into blossom, fires would be lit, crowds would gather and couples would be openly encouraged to consummate courtships. Public gestures of love and lust were considered to be in perfect sympathy with the spirit of the season. Primitive? Perhaps. But we should not be too disapproving of our ancestors exuberance. Without it... you and I we might not be here! And there's another reason to respect this part of our heritage. Beltane belongs to a time when people didn't see themselves as quite so separate from the rest of nature. Our world today might be a better place in many ways if we could only revive that sense of connection.
