“Astrology is one of the most ancient Sciences, held in high esteem of old, by the Wise and the Great. Formerly, no Prince would make War or Peace, nor any General fight in Battle, in short, no important affair was undertaken without first consulting an Astrologer.” – Benjamin Franklin Those were the days. – MZ […]
The original retrograde list was almost as long as a grocery list; however, some of the retreating planets on that list have shifted back to normalcy now, and we’ll consider the rest of the stubborn planets in this blog. Mars went retrograde just last week, on October 30, to be exact. And the pugnacious planet

of mice and men, and astrologers, oft gang agley. (Archaic Scottish spelling is not my forte; sorry, dear readers.) And I also owe all of you another apology for not posting on this last Friday. Suffice it to say that a Triple Monday, or the Moon itself going retrograde (no, don’t be concerned – it

Be that as it may, let’s take a jaunt through the zodiac and see who hoards, who’s just a packrat, who likes everything in its place, and who can’t find anything without a bloodhound
Yes, our old plague, Mercury in apparent retrograde motion, once again. If we weren’t on the surface of earth, I suppose we wouldn’t see the illusion. But then again, there would surely be another planet apparently retreating from its usual path to be the blame-catcher for minor irritations and major would-be calamities, whatever world we
