Summer is here, and along with it, the activation of the cardinal grand cross. Actually, the grand cross started last week, when messenger Mercury entered Cancer and immediately squared Uranus. What a mess! My DSL went dead on Friday, and I found out later it was a problem with CenturyLink that affected the whole state. more »
This week’s question comes from Stephanie in Springfield, Missouri: I have read with much interest the predictions being made concerning the state of the world and individuals, with the T-square this summer. I have been expecting my life to become increasingly troubled or stressed, when in fact things are going better than they have for more »
If you didn’t play the game last week, there’s no time like the present to start!

We’ll feel it all the more, since only a few hours later, the Moon in Aquarius (sign of the collective) will oppose Mars. For those of us with our natal Mars in the fixed signs – Taurus, Leo, more »
