MONDAY February 27 Dark of The Moon - Mercury comment 
We are now entering the 'Dark of The Moon'. According to legend, we all become more psychic for the couple of days each month while the Moon is so near the Sun as to be invisible. By the time its silver sliver reappears, it will be very close to Mercury. The two should form a pretty picture, shortly after sunset on Wednesday. Mercury, though, will then be starting to slip slowly 'backwards' through the zodiac. That suggests delays with communication, transportation and commerce. So if you get a powerful hunch in the next few days... act on it quickly!

Hi Jonathan,I suspect my boyfriend is about to propose to me. But, if Mercury is about to turn retrograde, perhaps this is an inauspicious time. Lisa

THURSDAY March 2 Twenty years of writing forecasts 
Photo: A convention of British astrologers, somewhere in London, somewhere between 1982 - 5. I'm on the far right in the jumper and tie (!). Nik Kollerstrom - astronomy expert - is second left. The late, great Charles Harvey is seated far left. Scientific correllation researcher, Mick O'Neill is seated far right. Historian and author Patrick Curry in the jacket, on the back row. And the others? If someone recognises anyone, please someone email me and, through the day, we'll update the site with info as it arrives.
My first ever daily zodiac column appeared on March 4, 1986 in the launch issue of the now defunct Today newspaper. Then, as now, the predictions had to be ready a couple of days in advance. I must, therefore, have been writing those initial forecasts twenty years ago this very day! 6,420 columns, 75,000 individual predictions or roughly eight million words later I'm still very much enjoying the job. I can't get any balder or greyer, but I reckon I can manage a good few million more words ... and I'm looking forward to the next twenty years! |

FRIDAY March 3 Twenty years of writing forecasts - Part 2 
Tomorrow is the 20th anniversary of my first ever daily zodiac forecast in the (now defunct) Today newspaper. Until then, I'd been the more serious type of astrologer who works only with full birth charts. My doubts were confirmed when, one day, for one sign, I wrote: 'Nothing much will happen today - but yesterday, X took place and tomorrow, Y will occur.' etc. Due to lack of space, this long piece got reduced to, 'Sagittarius: Nothing much will happen today.' I immediately vowed never to write another word unless I knew how much space it was going to fill!

SATURDAY March 4 Twenty years of writing forecasts - Part 3
Today's picture, by the way, was taken in 1983, in London. It shows a group of serious and highly respected astrologers... the kind who would never bring their art into disrepute by writing sun sign predictions! On the far left, at the table, is the late, great and still sorely missed Charles Harvey. Seated next to him, there's Danielle Claret, Jane de Rome and scientific correlation researcher, Mick O'Neill. From left standing are David Stevens, Astronomy expert Nick Kollerstrom, Rowan Bayne, Martin Budd, Simon Best, author and historian Patrick Curry, Michael Startup, Graham Douglas and, on the end, in the tie, with the dodgy patterned sweater... an early prototype version of Jonathan Cainer.
