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.
The ‘resignation’ to which I refer is one that took withdrawing my blogs from one service provider to another in search of more continuous service with fewer disruptions.
