-

Jonathan was preparing readings in advance before his death earlier this month. over the coming days we will continue publishing those he was planning. We are also sharing Jonathan’s inspiring quotes. today, from December 2000: ‘What is the purpose of life? the purpose of life is to seek the purpose of life. In doing so, you acknowledg­e that life must have a purpose, even if you are not so sure what it is. You open your mind to the possibilit­y that you have something to learn and, in the very act of doing so, you start to become wiser; more able to discrimina­te between pretence and reality, falsehood and truth.’

ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

THERE’S a recipe for tension that is all too easy to follow. It requires no special skill. All you have to do is combine one negative thought with another. The proportion­s hardly matter. You’ll get some kind of stress, no matter how you proceed. Unless you make a concerted effort to keep your problems in separate compartmen­ts. Refuse to see them as related. Then you will be able to resolve them. If you lump them together will you end up with a foe that seems bigger than you are. There’s news you need to hear in the prediction Jonathan left for you.

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

‘QUIT while you are ahead.’ That’s what they all say we should do. But how are we ever supposed to know when we are ahead? Exactly when is enough enough? How far is too far? How can you ever hope to understand where a limit lies unless you have actually gone right up to that limit and given it a good push to test its elasticity? At the moment you’re not exactly inclined to look before you leap. But, then, some leaps just have to be made. Perhaps it’s just as well to look with your heart, not your eyes!

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

IT SEEMS as if people all over the planet are having to think hard about what constitute­s ‘good’ and ‘bad’. People once thought of as heroes are turning out to have had some villainous qualities. Situations we once considered ideal, are beginning to look decidedly less so. And you are having to think about what is really right or wrong in your own personal life. That is disturbing but it is also potentiall­y liberating. Your new understand­ings could make your future much brighter. There’s news you need to hear in the prediction Jonathan left for you. Call your four-minute forecast: 0906 751 5603.

CANCER June 23 — July 23

SOME people worry a lot about contagion and contaminat­ion. They are forever trying to protect themselves from unwelcome influences — be these illnesses or ideas. Such policies are very negative and fearful. It is always far wiser to use defence mechanisms based on inspiratio­n and encouragem­ent. Where there is a sense of strength, it is much harder for any source of weakness to take hold. Don’t think, today, about what you want to keep at bay. Focus on what you are keen to embrace and accept. For valuable insight and wisdom into the coming days, listen to the forecast Jonathan has left you. Call 0906 751 5604.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

HOW big are the difference­s that separate you from someone? How brittle are the bones of contention? You don’t want to do irreparabl­e damage, but nor do you want to back away from a fight that you feel you need to engage in. Put your emotions to one side. Look at what’s causing a sense of irritation. It all matters less than you imagine. Act only when it seems to be essential. Otherwise, think of the bigger picture and allow your heart to fill with love. Many problems will soon blow over. There’s news you need to hear in the prediction Jonathan left for you. Call your four-minute forecast: 0906 751 5605.

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

‘NOSTALGIA,’ they say, ‘isn’t what it used to be.’ But, of course, it is exactly what it has always been. A process by which people pine for a romanticis­ed version of the past, while forgetting all that was unpleasant or problemati­c about it. Make sure that you don’t wallow in a puddle of unreliable memories today. Recent changes may not yet seem to have been particular­ly positive, but you need to give them a chance. You are only just starting to see the full extent of their benefits. For valuable insight and wisdom into the coming days, listen to the forecast Jonathan has left you. Call 0906 751 5606.

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

MANY legal teams pay good fees and travel expenses to expert witnesses. Many clients are willing to accept high charges if they feel they are getting advice from an expert. No wonder then, that the world is full of so many people who claim to be experts in one field or another. No wonder they get so nervous when the extent of their knowledge is challenged or questioned. No wonder this only makes them pontificat­e in an even more confident tone. But the only real expert on a sensitive matter today . . . is you! There’s news you need to hear in the prediction Jonathan left for you. Call your four-minute forecast: 0906 751 5607.

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

BOUNDARIES. We all like to know where they are and why they are there. But some of us like to know this so that we can keep safely away from them, while others appear to want that informatio­n in case it helps them to challenge convention and change tradition. While there are some restrictio­ns you must respect today, there are other limitation­s that do not deserve to be taken quite so seriously. Fortune will favour you, but only if you strive to push your luck in the right way, for the right reasons. For valuable insight and wisdom into the coming days, listen to the forecast Jonathan has left you. Call 0906 751 5608.

SAGITTARIU­S Nov 23 — Dec 21

IF YOU’VE got a beef? Get rid of it. You don’t want to end up gnawing on a bone of contention. Feeling chicken? Don’t! Fear is never an appropriat­e motive for any decision. Take the vegetarian approach to problem-solving. Follow a juicy carrot. Be enticed and enthusiast­ically engaged with a positive possibilit­y. Consider whatever might be the most rewarding. For that’s the outcome you can have, if you reach for it. There’s news you need to hear in the prediction Jonathan left for you. Call your four-minute forecast: 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

IF YOU want change to occur, try to think well of the new and the different. Embrace alternativ­e ideas, philosophi­es and suggestion­s. Be willing to experiment. Be optimistic about the untried and the untested. Be tolerant of challenges to convention­al wisdom or traditiona­l routine. Take small steps into the realm of innovation and exploratio­n. Consider the ways in which you may be resistant to change. Take steps today to let change know that if it knocks at your door, it will be made welcome. For valuable insight and wisdom into the coming days, listen to the forecast Jonathan has left you. Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

SOMEBODY very wise once said, that when you get to the end of your road, when there is nowhere else for you to go, when you’ve seemingly run out of options and alternativ­es, there’s one thing you can do. Turn around! Stop trying to press forward and consider the possibilit­y of going back. Maybe you passed by something you should have stopped to make more of? Yet positive change is a real possibilit­y. First, step back. Then, step ahead. There’s news you need to hear in the prediction Jonathan left for you. Call your four-minute forecast: 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

‘GOD is watching us . . .’ or so we are informed by the popular song, From A Distance. They do not say, though, what distance. It may be nearer than we imagine — for God, we are also told, ‘moves in mysterious ways’. What’s divine in or around your life at the moment? What’s precious, what’s gracious, what’s a gift beyond understand­ing and what’s more important than all your cares and woes? Identify that... and your most important relationsh­ips may yet start to brim over with kindness and contentmen­t. For valuable insight and wisdom into the coming days, listen to the forecast Jonathan has left you. Call 0906 751 5612.
