TUESDAY July 4 Hot Weather Challenges email Dear Jonathan, How can people born under the various signs best cope with hot weather challenges this summer? As a Virgo I feel smothered by the heat, humidity and poor air quality in a big city. Eleanor
Dear Eleanor, |
WEDNESDAY July 5 When does the beginning begin email Hi Jonathan, When does a beginning really begin? Is the horoscope for a new job based on the time of the interview? Is the chart of a relationship based on the day you first meet someone or the time of the first date? Tanya
Dear Tanya, |
THURSDAY July 6 Mayan Prophecies 2012 email Hi Jonathan, I have heard that, according to Mayan Prophecies, 2012 will bring "the end of time as we know it." What do you think this means? Gerald
Dear Gerald, |
FRIDAY July 7 Hayfever remedies I have been very busy this week, doing interviews to promote my new book. I'm delighted to see that Cosmic Ordering has reached Number 1 on the Amazon pre-order list. Really, though, it ought not to be on 'pre-order' any more because it IS in print... and Amazon should be sending them out any moment if they haven't started already. Meanwhile, I recently asked if anyone knew of alternative remedies for hay fever. A lot of people have suggested eating honey produced in your own locality. There were many other ideas too: 'See a Chiropractor,' says Jack. Apparently they have a special treatment for this. Donatella writes: 'I'm an Ayurvedic healer. A lot of ginger works for some people but most are better off with a tea made from five parts ground coriander to one part ginger.' JG says 'Drink a big cup of black coffee (with caffeine) early in the morning before body circulation is up. The ingredients may dampen the immune system from overreacting.' Karen, meanwhile, recommends peppermint tea, while Gareth swears by a 'neti pot'. This is a yogic technique of flushing the nostrils with tepid salt water. Ezri has a similar idea: 'I fill the sink with cold water and splash my face, particularly my eyes thoroughly. I then snort the water, carefully, or the effect is the same as jumping into a pool without holding your nose. I then gargle with the stuff a few times. All this seems to have the effect of washing out the pollen from my eyes, nose and throat, leaving me feeling refreshed.' Anneke suggests the Bowen Technique. She says: 'I have treated people with this wonderful, gentle technique for a few years now and hayfever sufferers respond very well. They sometimes don't even need their medication any more.' Judith finds a few sprays on the tongue of Bach 'Rescue Remedy' really helps. Katy says, 'I have had hayfever since the age of 13 (I'm now 34). I have cured it through eating much more fruit and veg, vitamin C, no alcohol and less white bread and dairy.' Today's last word goes to Frances, who writes: 'I had horrendous sinus problems for years until I tried an ioniser and now I do not suffer at all.' I'll print more suggestions soon. |
SATURDAY July 8 No Thought for the Day |
SUNDAY July 9 Sport comment Your Week Ahead: Apparently, some sort of football game is due to take place this weekend. I hear there may be a couple of tennis matches too. Appropriately, the Moon is now in Sagittarius. That's probably the most competitive sign of the zodiac and certainly one of the most energetic. Mars, meanwhile, is the planet of battles and tournaments. It forms a harmonious angle to the Moon on Sunday. For good measure, Jupiter, planet of fortune and fairness, is changing direction after a long period of edging backwards through the zodiac. So who will win? Whoever most deserves to. And who will lose? Whoever forgets that there's more to life than sport! |
