Jonathan Cainer is a British
sun-sign astrologer who writes a daily column on his website, which is reproduced in the "Telegraph " newspaper inAustralia and the "Daily Mail " newspaper in theUK , in addition to a variety of Internet sites in five or so different languages, including Japanese. He has also spent time writing for the "Express " and "Daily Mirror " newspapers. His website includes weekly predictions, contributions by other writers, and more recently, the first Saturday's weekly predictions in each month provide an overview of the month ahead."
The Independent " newspaper reported in October 2005 that: 'He's a self-declared touchy-feely liberal and "unreconstructed hippie" who took his children on the anti-Iraq war demo'. The same article, however, implied that the "Daily Mail" only liked him because he made them so much money. [http://news.independent.co.uk/media/article321822.ece]As a young man, he worked through the diploma course of the British Faculty of Astrological Studies. According to Cainer, when the final submission of coursework was due on a Friday, his class were told they need not hand their coursework in until the following Monday, thereby giving them the weekend to polish their work (although this version of events was disputed by the faculty at the time). On the Monday, Cainer and three fellow students had their entries refused, as it was three days past the deadline. [http://www.cainer.com/ericfrancis/mar3.html]
The three other students re-took the year and went on to pass their diplomas, but Cainer left without the qualification and found his first job writing sun-sign columns.
