The spring effect

The temptation to declare winter over is strong indeed. Recall that this past Saturday marked the Spring Equinox, even though some parts of the nation are still under baleful winds and snow, lingering like a houseguest never invited. But spring will arrive, at some point, and what should we anticipate as someone’s reaction to that […]

Resurgence

Esteemed Readers, My column about Your Progressed Sun was the most widely read of all my Head Light blogs last year. This tells me there are far more astute astrology students perusing Write Up The Road features than I had realized. So, since reader interest is obvious, I will yield to the administrators’ notes and

Further study

Dear Readers, It would appear we may be in for a ‘revisit’ of previously-mentioned aspects for several weeks beginning with Christmas week and afterward. I wish to do some more calculations on these aspects, and will return to you with my observations before that time. Until then, remember to take deep breaths during the day

Monday, Monday

Another week begins – and are you dreading it, enduring it, or anticipating it? If your least-favorite day of the work week is Monday, but your favorite is Friday, dare I suggest you may be in the wrong job? Or profession? Or, maybe, your attitude is what needs upgrading rather than your corporate status. I’ve
