Jonathan Cainer, Self-Fulfilling Provider Of Spookily Accurate Predictions Dies, Aged 58

* Jonathan Cainer: 1957 - 2016

Leaning against his left knee, with hand supporting his smiling chin, Jonathan Cainer predicted as always, the forecasts of  Monday,  May 2, 2016. Only it would be his own prediction and he probably didn't even know it. His horoscopes are written in advance of publication, according the Daily Mail.

 

Monday's forecast for Sagittarius, Monday, 2 May 2016: "We aren't here for long. We should make the most of every moment. We all understand this yet don't we forget it, many times? We get caught up in missions, battles and desires. We imagine that we have forever and a day. In one way, we may be right - for are we not eternal spirits, temporarily residing in finite physical form? An elevated perspective is essential to a meaningful existence. As Jupiter soon reaches the end of its retrograde phase, you'll find the higher you rise, the further you see. One of the five planets going retrograde is Mercury! And Mercury is also about to make a spectacular Transit of the Sun."

 

As many would have read from The Daily Mail, for which Cainer has provided daily horoscopes for the past 20 years, Monday's forecast proved his proficiency.  Many who know him, and even those who don't, have confirmed that he made the effort to reach back to anyone who wrote him.

 

I can personally confirm however, that when I wrote him, he actually did write back, even though I never met him. If he couldn't write, he would delegate one of his aids to write and convey his message. Such was his policy with regards to business relationships.

 

As many express shock on his demise, I join them in saying May his gentle spirit rest in Peace.

 

Below, the announcement of his death on his official website.

Jonathan Cainer 1957-2016

It is with great sadness that we have to announce that Jonathan passed away in the early hours of Monday morning. Jonathan was a Sagittarian and the forecast he wrote for his own sign that day was uncannily prescient: "We aren't here for long. We should make the most of every moment. We all understand this yet don't we forget it, many times? We get caught up in missions, battles and desires. We imagine that we have forever and a day. In one way, we may be right - for are we not eternal spirits, temporarily residing in finite physical form?" 'Didn't he see it coming?' is a question that will inevitably be asked. Jonathan was always adamant that astrologers should not look to predict the time of a person's demise. He said there was the danger of creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. But he was well aware that one day he might not be physically present to supply the predictions that so many people rely on. Jonathan has already written forecasts and predictions well in advance so we shall keep on publishing them here and you can still carry on reading his remarkable and incisive forecasts and insights. It was also Jonathan's wish that his nephew, Oscar (a qualified astrologer in his own right) should carry on in his tradition and provide a fresh new voice, as well as overseeing his extensive archive of forecasts, so that all his work can still be read and enjoyed long into the future. Jonathan had a remarkable and unique gift. He does not take it with him... he leaves it with us.   More here very shortly, but for now there's a page at the Daily Mail with a lot more detail here.   -----<><> End From His Website <><>-----
