PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY September 27 2010 to October 3 2010 Monday September 27 Wonderful World Dear Mr Cainer, In a recent forecast you said, 'We find it easier to see our problems, dramas or difficulties than to remember we are only visitors, here to marvel.' I wonder if people who have been working hard all their lives just to keep a roof over their heads would agree? Too many people live in La-la Land at the expense of others. The world indeed is beautiful, for some. Think before you write. e. Dear e, When we can't see how wonderful this world is, it's rarely due to poverty. It's usually resentment that blinds us. Tuesday September 28 Nauticaul Tales Hi Jonathan, My uncle Al was born with the caul. My grandmother kept it and gave it to him when he went into the Navy. Three times, ships he was on were hit, with many fatalities. Every time he was saved. Once he missed returning to his ship from leave by a few minutes, the ship was blown up and everyone died. He lived till 85. Denise Jonathan, My father was born with a caul. He died aged 88 having survived almost drowning, two serious road accidents, a train crash, a mountaineering accident, almost being shot, and more. Lorraine Wednesday September 29 Not the Same? Dear Jonathan, I was born on the same day (and have the same planetary alignments) as Hitler. I'm a vegetarian, an artist and I love dogs, as he did. And I emigrated to Germany, as he did, but that's where the resemblance ends. Anne Dear Anne I'm glad to hear that's all you have in common! Actually, unless you are now 111, you really won't have the same planetary alignments. You will simply have been born with the Sun at the same degree of the zodiac... and you may possibly have one or two planets in the same signs as him. Thursday September 30 Twin Peeks Come on, Jonathan, Tell people that a mere day and year don't an astro-twin make! Ragan Dear Ragan, You're right. Astro-twins, in the true technical sense, need to be born within a few minutes of each other in a similar location... so they have the same planetary alignments plus the same Sun, Moon and rising signs. But, at the risk of upsetting the astrological purists, it has been my experience that people with only some strong points in common, born at different times or in places far apart, can sometimes end up with uncanny similarities between them. Friday October 1 Connected Cauls Dear Jonathan... I was born with a caul and I often dream of what's to come. Jen I was born with a caul. I don't know if I have mystical powers, but I'm very sensitive and lucky. Susan My son was born covered in a caul. He can read other people's thoughts. Sue My mum was born with a caul. She isn't particularly psychic but if I run out of toothpaste or something I will go round her house and she will have bought me some! Not very profound, but pretty cool. Lesley Saturday October 2 Your October Monthly Forecast Throughout October, Mars and Venus will be in Scorpio. Mercury and the Sun will join them there towards the end of the month. Jupiter will remain close to Uranus in Pisces. Saturn is in Libra, Neptune in Aquarius. And Pluto still sits in Capricorn. We'll end up with six celestial bodies in water signs, two in air, one in earth. So where's the fire? That comes from this year's second full moon in Aries. It may seem as if our world is full of situations we cannot hope to change. But those who remain determined can expect surprising success.
