Now that Mercury’s no longer retrograde (for this quarter, anyway), we can think about some other aspects lurking out there in space, probably causing Science Officer Spock’s instrument panel to wig out on him. Fascinating. Anyway, for all you Aries people – the midnight snackers; (you know who you are) and the rest […]

We’ve started this month off with a majestic display of the Full Moon on Sunday, February 1 – the Snow Moon.
