PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY
July 28th to July 31st 2003
MONDAY JULY 28
WOMAD Festival comment
This weekend I had a chance to get close to a god in human form. But I also faced a big temptation. After wrestling with my conscience I decided NOT to watch Jimmy Cliff on the main stage of the WOMAD festival. Instead, I followed a magical path to a tiny tent. There, the living masters of gipsy jazz and country swing were playing to their enraptured devotees. You have never heard of Dan Hicks And His Hot Licks? That�s because truly divine experiences are often closely-guarded secrets. But if you ever seek deep musical fulfilment, remember that name!
TUESDAY JULY 29
Mars Moving Closer to Earth
I spent this weekend at the World of Music and Dance Festival, near Reading. As I stood listening to some of the best music on our planet, I noticed how bright Mars is becoming. Exactly a month from now it will be closer to Earth than ever before. I am taking a few days off to watch it more carefully and to talk about its meaning with some of my colleagues at �The Big Green Gathering� in Somerset. I�ll be back here late next week. Meanwhile, a galaxy of stars will be writing your forecast for you each day.
WEDNESDAY JULY 30
Mars Begins Long Retrograde - Eric Francis, Guest Astrologer
Jonathan Cainer is on holiday and will return at the end of next week. Today�s guest writer is ERIC FRANCIS, an investigative reporter-turned-astrologer. Eric publishes a weekly internet newsletter examining world affairs through the lens of astrology. It combines political savvy, reporting skills and more than a decade of stargazing experience into a unique perspective on our rather unusual time in history. To find out more, visit Eric�s web page at www.PlanetWaves.net. Eric Francis writes: Mars began its long retrograde yesterday, which is likely to be testing everyone�s confidence, patience and gumption. But Mars is retrograde in Pisces, which is a message about examining and understanding motives, our own and the ones that get in our face a thousand times a day. Anyone paying attention is noticing that we live in a time of strained credibility, particularly of the idea that �television creates reality�. Mars retrograde in Pisces is cosmic permission to ask ourselves boldly, �What is real and what is not?�.
THURSDAY JULY 31
Uranus Comment - Patty Greenall, Guest Astrologer
Jonathan is on holiday and will be back at the end of next week. Today�s guest writer is PATTY GREENALL, a consultant astrologer who writes daily forecasts for Vodafone Live. Originally from Minnesota, USA, Patty has been spiritually influenced by a Chinese mother in a western world, and now resides in London. Patty Greenall writes: The planet Uranus is said to create unpredictability in our lives, even surprising astrologers. For example, just after its entry into seafaring Pisces last March, there were reports of a very unusual giant squid discovered in New Zealand � bizarre! Mercury, the planet of communication and messages, contacts Uranus today bringing an exciting touch of the unexpected into our personal lives. You probably won�t get any strange creatures in your sink but if you keep your ears pricked, a peculiar bit of information could bring a revelation of a very extraordinary kind. One thing more: try not to give or take anything in the wrong way.
