Please join me, Madame Zombra, in the future for a little astral travel, if you will. We shall look at the planets in their transits as they occur, not as prophecy but as signposts for our journey. In columns ahead, if you have questions, you may use the Comments section to ask them and I will do my best to answer your query.
Caution: musing is sometimes fraught with hazards and can engender a grouchy outlook for the day. Conversely, a ‘think session’ may yield tremendous results: a better approach to a fractious boss, some creative cupboard cooking which produces a tasty meal from ingredients on hand, better control of the budget. A solution to a difficult situation […]
Take heart, all of my readers who are also writers, for even Sir Walter Scott suffered at the hands and pens of critics. Here is a quote from the anonymous “British Critic” in 1815, just after the publication of Scott’s second novel (in two volumes), Guy Mannering, or, The Astrologer. “We cannot, however, conclude this
It seems many people have begun questioning their purpose in life; why they’re alive at this particular time in history, what they’re supposed to be doing to fulfill their destiny.

It seems oddly significant to me that Pluto, Saturn and Jupiter – all planets considered heavy weights by many astrologers – will be lined up in adjacent signs. Pluto entered Aquarius on March 23 this year, right alongside the Spring Equinox, and it’ll be interesting to watch the transformations this planet will bring – or

And no matter where in the USA you call home, I would be willing to bet you had your life significantly impacted by the recent spate of untenable weather events.
