This week in Astro News:
~ Venus and Mars ~
~ AstroDiary ~
Venus and Mars, the eternal lovers of the skies, are playing another of their
little games. From now until the end of the year they will be doing a very
daring and sexy dance, in which they will tease and pursue each other
endlessly, always stopping just short of the point of no return. This is
steamy stuff.
Let me bring you up to speed with what has happened so far. Mars, the planet
of fiery passions, has taken a fancy to Venus, who has been playing around in
sexy Scorpio to attract the attention of any other planet who is interested.
Well, since Scorpio is one of Mars' own signs, she's on his property, so to
speak � a bit like when you play Monopoly. He could hardly fail to notice
her. All through September he's been creeping closer and closer, and she has
been skipping away. But for the last couple of weeks she has been tiring, and
he has been gaining on her. If you think you've heard this before, by the
way, you are absolutely right. This is the Beauty and the Beast scenario, or
Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf, or any one of dozens of other
folk and fairy tales, all of which have their roots in the dance of Venus and
Mars. Anyway, today Venus stands still in the skies, and starts to move
backwards, retracing her steps � which is going to take her straight into the
arms of Mars. Is this the end of our heroine? Wait and see. There are several
twists in this tale, and the interplay between the planets and the signs they
are in is unusually subtle. I'll tell you more next week.
Saturn changes direction this week as well as Venus. One planet in reverse is
bad enough, but two...! We can all expect a couple of days during which
things seem to be working against us. But the good news is that it is only
for a couple of days. Once Saturn has settled down again everything will
return to the way it was.

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. My email address is: [email protected]
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.
