This week in Astro News:
~ Planets ~
In a daily horoscope the astrologer takes his cue from whatever is happening
in the skies on that particular day. There are usually about a dozen
planetary contacts taking place in the heavens on any one day; some of them
last only for a few hours, and some for weeks at a time. The long ones tend
to be overlooked, because their influence is in the background of your life
rather than right there in your face, but they are still powerful for all
that, and worth looking at.
At the moment those deeper rhythms are unusually well aligned. Jupiter is in
a nice arrangement with Pluto, and will stay that way for several months.
Saturn is similarly cosy with Uranus, and that, too, will hold for some time.
And this week the Sun makes a good aspect to Neptune, which means that all
five of the outer planets are in sweet and co-operative aspects, mostly with
each other. This doesn't happen very often; in fact, the last time we had
something like this it was early in 1997, which now seems a very long time
ago indeed. John Major was still prime minister, the stock market was still
climbing, and the events of September 11 were still four years in the future.
Makes you think, doesn't it?
What this unusually harmonious set of alignments shows is that we are under
less stress than we imagine, and that this is the time for us all to be
thinking about new things for the future. In other words, it's okay to have
hopes and ambitions again. These aspects will not give such spectacular highs
and lows as the last few years have done, but is that so bad? Right now,
gentle progress sounds good; I could cope with that.
These 'outer planet happy hours' don't come up at regular intervals. So
going from 1997 to 2002 and assuming the next one will be in 2007 won't work.
The next really good one is in the summer of 2013, though there's also a
nearly-but-not-quite in 2006. Long-term investors take note!
Research into Astrology and Infertility by Pat Harris, MSc., D.F.Astrol.S.
I would like to thank everyone who has responded to my earlier notices on Jonathan's website and who volunteered to take part in the research that I am conducting as part of my PhD in astrology and health psychology at Southampton University, UK. I now have quite a number of people taking part which will help me in conducting my study into factors that may or may not correlate with fertility treatment outcome. I should have a progress report out soon. However, I am still looking for women who are currently pregnant - not necessarily as a result of fertility treatment - and who would like to contact me about details of my research to see if they would like to take part.

New Service is Top for the Charts
The Astrological Association of Great Britain is proud to announce that you
can now speak LIVE to an expert astrologer. For an instant in-depth telephone
consultation about your full horoscope call 0845 120 1416 or +44 207 436 9101
(a confidential 30-minute reading costs �29.50, payable by credit card. Or cheque/postal
order from UK.)
Lines are open 9am-9pm GMT, Monday to Friday.
A few weeks ago, the Astrological Association of Great Britain launched this new,
live fixed-fee, telephone chart reading service. It has since proved big hit
with callers from all over the world. AA President Roy Gillett told Astro
News: "I am delighted with the warm response that we have had. Once, if you
wanted a reading of your full birth chart, you would have to struggle to find
a genuine, reputable astrologer. Then, you would have had to make an
appointment and travel miles. Now, at last, there's a quick and easy way to
get your questions answered by a real expert - from the comfort of your own
home." Mirror reader Julie Roberts from Rochester was equally enthusiastic.
"I rang last Tuesday and spoke to an astrologer called Maria. Within moments,
she was telling me details about my childhood that she could not possibly
have known... then she said some fascinating things about my future.
