October 24th to October 30th 2005
MONDAY October 24 'General Anxiety' news email Dear Jonathan, You recently asked whether worrying can make you ill. As a homeopath, I know that even small concerns can reduce vitality. When I see clients with 'general anxiety' I often find they have been soaking up fear from the news. I advise elderly patients to limit their intake of radio, TV and press but they, sadly, have most time to listen, watch and read. Cathy

TUESDAY October 25 Afterlife email query Dear Jonathan, Are souls in the afterlife still affected by the same astrological influences they were subject to before death? AG
Dear AG, |
WEDNESDAY October 26 Jupiter enters Scorpio comment Early this morning, Jupiter slipped into Scorpio. It hasn't been in this part of the sky since 1993-94 but it will now remain in the sign of the eagle till November 2006. The sign of the eagle? Well, Scorpio has a strong association with this noble bird, and Jupiter is all about exploring your higher nature. I have long wanted to get Scorpios a 'better press'. This is a good time to relaunch that campaign! It's also a good time for all to be honest about taboo topics, sensitive subjects or secrets that need no longer be hidden. |
THURSDAY October 27 Measuring time email query Dear Jonathan, Clocks don't really measure time, they measure space and revolutions. Time is measurable by the speed of light. Light is not bound by our idea of time. So do astrologers measure space or time? Fiona
Dear Fiona, |
FRIDAY October 28 Mars comment Mars, this weekend, is eight million miles further from the Earth than it was in 2003, when it made its closest-ever approach. It is, though, still much nearer than usual and is shining brightly all night. Tradition teaches us that when people make commitments while the planet of ambition is prominent and dominant, they stick with them. If you are contemplating a brave choice and want to know whether this is the right time, your new in-depth forecast will help you to decide. |
SATURDAY October 29 Defy the laws of time comment Weekend Forecast: Easter was once the Celtic festival of Ostara. Christmas was once Yule. And Hallowe'en was once Samhain (pronounced Sah-win). To a surprising extent, it still is! People continue to dress up, play tricks... and knock on neighbours' doors for treats. We remain fascinated with ghosts and spooks and we even still 'defy the laws of time'... by putting the clocks back! |
SUNDAY October 30 Hallow E'n comment Your Week Ahead: In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III decreed that All Saints' Day should be moved from May 13th to November 1. The following day would be Hallow Tide. The evening preceeding this was All Hallow E'en; chosen to coincide with the three day Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced Sah-win) - an event as important as Ostara (now Easter) and Yule (now Christmas). During Samhain, the laws of time were 'challenged' as were most laws of polite behaviour. People dressed up and played tricks while children knocked on neighbours' doors for treats. It was believed to be a time when the living and the dead could communicate, the future could be seen and hidden spirits of nature would reveal themselves. Soon, we'll be honouring the old traditions once more. We'll even be 'playing with time' by putting back the clocks. For good measure, Mars will be exceptionally bright against a sky made dark by the absence of the Moon.
