This is especially true today when Mercury in powerful Taurus forms a triangle with Mars in earthy Virgo and Pluto in practical Capricorn.

Good-Bye to Summer
Tuesday, September 21st, 2010We say good-bye to summer this week. In my part of the world, the nights have noticeably cooled and gotten longer.

The 2010 Cardinal T-Square and Mercury Retrograde

Friday, July 23rd, 2010The Sun enters the sign of Leo in late July of each year for a month-long stay. That is when all of the princes and princesses come out of the woodwork.

A Meditation on the Shortening of Daylight
Friday, July 2nd, 2010It is with poignancy, that I gaze at the setting sun at this time of year. I love the long beautiful days of early summer. And the hour of twilight is a magical time.
