PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY May 18 2009 to May 24 2009 Monday May 18 Positive change Over the weekend, Jupiter and Neptune edged further towards an alignment which will recur throughout the year, with both planets remaining in 'orb of aspect' to Chiron, the 'healing asteroid'. In the UK, at least, the triple conjunction aptly describes the way lawmakers (traditionally symbolised by Jupiter) are now perceived as slippery (a very Neptunian quality). We can't, apparently, trust them to regulate themselves, let alone the nation. (Chiron, in mythology, was a wounded healer who couldn't heal himself). Yet wherever any of us face the exasperating and the seemingly impossible, a tale of positive change may yet emerge. I'm giving a special talk at the Sunrise Celebration in Somerset, UK on Sunday 31 May, just as the triple conjunction is most powerful. If you'd like to come along, ticket details are HERE.

No planet ever really reverses round the sun - but astrology is all about how things appear through the window of 'Spaceship Earth'. If people ever start living on the Moon (or even further away) we'll need to recalibrate our calculations. Perhaps some folk will even try to time their trips to space to avoid the more awkward alignments round here. If that were currently an option, many might have been tempted to take it recently. The cosmic climate for the next few weeks though, looks much more welcoming.

The Jupiter/Neptune conjunction will still be strong and will continue to involve the influence of Chiron, the healing asteroid. In mythology, Chiron did much for others - even though there came a time when he could not cure his own wounds . People everywhere now seek new methods of measurement and management to replace traditions that have been discredited and caused harm. It's easy to become discouraged about an effort to rewrite the rules of the world, especially when we face pressure in our personal lives. But it can be done.

Many astrologers, all over the world, watch the sunrise on this day and plot the chart for the year ahead. Several feel that as times change, the 'old influences' are getting stronger, especially in Britain. It's interesting to note that June 21 is also Prince William's birthday and that this year's solstice sky will contain the triple conjunction of Jupiter Neptune and Chiron, an alignment that suggests 'healing'. Given the damage that the British parliament has lately done to itself, it is also interesting to note that the Speaker of the House of Commons has picked this date to step down.

Whilst I am pleased for her, I have struggled for years, emotionally and financially. She is very generous, but I see no light at the end of my tunnel. I want to trust that things will get better... Wendy Dear Wendy, If you want to trust... trust. See each new development as an opportunity. And stop comparing yourself to your sister. Plenty of other people share your sign. What my forecasts mean to them is their business. Your business is to be optimistic!

We edge closer to the moment when Jupiter and Neptune will be in exact conjunction. Both planets are still excitingly near to Chiron, with whom they formed separate conjunctions recently. That's an exceptional convergence of cosmic energy. It's a dramatic release, into the collective unconscious, of fresh enthusiasm, new vision and faith in the power to heal old wounds. It's a strong green shoot, a shining jewel of hope... and a reason to stop worrying... no matter what's getting you down! Sunday May 24 Celebrity Sunday Peter Andre was born on February 27, 1973. He's been going through a tough time lately - but then, Pisceans don't like easy lives. They like talking about them, planning for them and hoping for them, but somehow, accidentally-on-purpose, they conspire with the fates to find themselves in situations, that are anything but easy... or simple. With all that angst and aggravation in his life right now, Peter is in his element... Read the rest of this article... Back to Index   Click here for Jonathan Cainer's Daily Zodiac Forecasts
