JONATHAN CAINER

JONATHAN was preparing readings in advance before his death earlier this month. We will continue to publish those he was planning. We are also sharing Jonathan’s inspiring quotes. Today, from October 2003: ‘What is the purpose of life? Ah, that’s easy. The purpose of life is to wonder what the purpose of life is. Life, without confusion, uncertainty or wild obsessive belief, would be dull. The best adventures are never-ending quests. When you reach a mountaintop, what else is there to do but come back down and find another mountain to climb? It is not a satisfying answer you seek; it is a satisfying question.’ ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20 WHAT has gone wrong? How wrong has it gone? The situation that you face is not, on its own, impossible. The real problem is in an implication, a distinct possibility that something may arise over which you have no control. As long as that doesn’t happen, all will be fine. All may yet be fine even if it does. Now, though, you have something to worry about and it is hard for you to ignore this. So don’t ignore it. Pay heed to whatever lesson you clearly need to learn. Still, though, you don’t have to worry. Jonathan left you a powerful prediction. Your latest inspiring moon-sign forecast is waiting for you. Call 0906 751 5601.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21 LIFE keeps presenting us with problems. Sometimes, we get new challenges. Sometimes, it just rehashes the old favourites (if we can call them favourites). Life says: ‘Here, you thought you had answered this old, nagging question. Well now, you may need to worry about it all over again.’ How do we respond when we become the beneficiaries (if we can call ourselves beneficiaries) of such gifts? (If we can call them gifts). By deciding that they are gifts and we are beneficiaries. See the good in what is coming your way. Jonathan left important news for you in your latest spookily accurate moon-sign forecast.

GEMINI May 22 — June 22 WHEN people want to say something particularly offensive, they will often preface it with the words: ‘No offence, but...’ It is as if they somehow believe that by uttering that phrase, they will be granted immunity from the consequences. Often, too, rather than be unpleasant towards one another, people will make weak little pointed ‘jokes’, thinking that they can always retract these if they provoke an overly negative response. What is someone trying to say to you? Don’t be afraid of an honest conversation. Jonathan left you a powerful prediction. Your latest inspiring moon-sign forecast is waiting for you.

CANCER June 23 — July 23 SCIENTISTS know an awful lot. This leads us to believe that they know everything. Or even if they don’t, it can only be a matter of time before they discover the rest. We can leave it all to science. There is really no need for us to think. There are, though, some things that science will never be able to explain. Or prove. Or answer. These include some of the most important questions of all. There is no logical answer to the biggest question in your life now, but that doesn’t mean it is a silly question. Trust what you feel in your heart. Jonathan left important news for you in your latest spookily accurate moonsign forecast. Call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23 PEOPLE say and do the most ridiculous things. They act out dramas. They play out roles. They adopt attitudes and take up stances. They throw themselves into their parts, they nurture and nurse their opinions — and they deny fiercely that they have ever thought or felt anything different to what they think and feel now. And then they wonder why the world is so full of intransigent people! Mercury’s retrograde phase is now ending. Put something down, let something go, move something on.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23 NO MATTER what the subject, someone will always profess to know everything about it. But not all of these experts know as much as they claim. Most, indeed, know only a tiny bit more than the rest of us. They take a little knowledge and stretch it a long way — which is a very dangerous thing. They tell us that we are safe to do things that clearly can’t be wise. Worse, in a way, they tell us that we can’t do what we can. Listen, by all means, to other people’s opinions, but take nobody’s advice but your own, and don’t worry. Jonathan left important news for you in your latest spookily accurate moonsign forecast.

Surely this is not a law that applies equally, either way round. Yet, as Samuel Beckett once said: ‘Any fool can turn a blind eye, but who knows what the ostrich sees in the sand.’ We must always be very careful before we start judging the wisdom, or otherwise, of others. We should be even more circumspect before making such assessments of ourselves. Jonathan left you a powerful prediction. Your latest inspiring moon-sign forecast is waiting for you.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22 being YOU don’t like told what you can and cannot do. Yet you do like people who are strong-willed and sure of themselves. Otherwise, who gives you a run for your money? There’s no fun in being surrounded by people who just give way to you! Not surprisingly, every so often, your closest emotional relationships turn into power struggles. Usually, no matter how selfpossessed the other person may be, you win! But now, it seems, someone else has the upper hand. Why not let them keep it a while and see what they do with it?

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21 WHEN things seem to be going wrong, it’s often because we’ve got the wrong idea about what would be the ‘right thing’. We develop fixed ideas. We make plans. While these are fine in principle, they work against us if we invest too much in them. Imagine, for example, that you want to get to another city. The journey is possible. But the exact nature of the trip may not match quite the kind of ride you had hoped to take. But if you can still end up where you need to be, what else matters?

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20 HAVE you ever tried staring at the second hand on a watch? Have you ever noticed how, when you really focus, you can slow its progress right down? The minute you become distracted and start thinking about something else, off it zips at twice the speed. There, that’s proof positive of the power of mind over matter. Indeed, it’s more than that; it’s the power of mind over time. The evidence stares us in the face, yet we choose to ignore it because it disconcerts us. You can achieve the apparently impossible today. Jonathan left important news for you in your latest spookily accurate moon-sign forecast. Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19 THE fort is besieged. The enemy is advancing. The soldiers are scaling the walls and raising the drawbridge. All is lost. Or is it? What’s that cloud of dust in the distance? It’s the cavalry, riding to the rescue. If you can only keep going till the reinforcements arrive, the tables will turn. Indeed, the advancing hordes will notice the difference in your attitude and may even beat a retreat while there’s still time. Or, to put it all slightly less dramatically: you have a problem this week, but a solution is on the way. Hold tight. Jonathan left you a powerful prediction.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20 WHEN we watch old horror films, it is often with much amusement. ‘Look at that monster stomping around the screen! You can see the strings, the paint — or the dodgy modelling techniques.’ When the first films of this kind came out, viewers were terrified. But yesterday’s cutting-edge special effects are today’s standard feature on every camcorder. With this in mind, can we talk about something that currently looks scary to you? Seek some way to make it less believable. You won’t, I promise, have to look hard. Jonathan left important news for you in your latest spookily accurate moon-sign forecast. Call 0906 751 5612.
