MAY 4 - MAY 10, 2008

All times/dates are PDT.

Received a few emails about missing PISCES in the April 20 column, regarding the best "hunches" for late April/early May. Unfortunately, this comes a little late, but, if it still helps, Pisces best hunches and intuitive nudges during this time (and generally for the whole year) come in spiritual, charity-related, government, organizational, healing, administrative, archival, mass production, warehousing, spa, retreat and withdrawal zones. Hope that still helps! (It might, if you examine the thoughts or impulses you had over the last couple of weeks.)

Last year, I predicted that Israel might have a nuclear strike. (In the 2007 "Year Ahead" in a paragraph about war: "Israel might show its nuclear muscle in...") Nothing seemed to happen. But on April 23, CNN reported that Israeli warplanes bombed a Syrian nuclear reactor last year, one purportedly engaged in weapons development. Sometimes you have to wait for confirmation. (And, as sometimes happens, my forecast caught the elements - nuclear and martial actions - but got them a bit backwards. That's partly because I write the Year Ahead articles in a species of shorthand or puzzle-like aphorisms, in an attempt to pack everything in. For example, in this year's (2008) forecast, I wrote that Canadian PM Stephen Harper "can do no wrong - really." (A reader emailed and wanted to know what I meant by this sentence.) Well, Harper's party offices were recently raided by the RCMP to investigate possible illegal election spending. Harper's response:
"We always follow the law... More importantly, we always follow the law as it has been interpreted. We were following it in the last election - the interpretations. If those interpretations change, though, we'll of course conform." Translation: "I do no wrong - really."("I didn't inhale - really." I didn't have sex - really.")

Jay Leno's a TAURUS - thus his thick neck, huge jaw and easy going humour. Taurus people face two decades of widening understanding, which will attract huge amounts of true, gentle, and deepening love. Many of you Taureans will find love in a foreign country, or near/within a school, courtroom, library, or while travelling. You will have your eyes opened many times, and youngsters among you (say, younger than 30) will begin to know your purpose in life, and to see and approve of society's workings. You'll begin to listen to wise and gentle people, rather than those who promise you wealth, sex, or secrets. You might, if old enough, re-establish communications with someone who meant much to you in the 1983-1996 period.
