by Simone Butler
Irish poet David Whyte would say I’m merely “joining the Greater Conversation.” By this he means exchanging energy with other people and the environment, as well as reweaving the web of life in the places where it’s grown tattered. Whether we do this by telling stories around a campfire, keeping in touch via the latest devices, raising money for good causes through Internet campaigns, recording our personal histories to share with our grandchildren or planting heirloom seeds in the backyard, it’s vital at this New Moon that we stay connected rather than retreat.

Mercury is also the son of the Moon, indicated by the crescent Moon atop his astrological glyph. His sacred task is taking us to the depths, so that we might return with a life-giving message of truth and wisdom. Soul talk, not small talk, is his real passion and that’s where he’ll lead you this month, should you care to follow.

Ground your body, clear your mind… Become aware of your body. Notice how gravity holds and connects you to earth. It’s as though your body is an ancient stone temple—solid, strong, secure. Sanctify this temple. Imagine a priestess is pouring sacred water and scattering rose petals, all the way down, from your head to your [...]

Q. I’ve been through a lot of drama all of my life and the last few years have been the worst. I have no luck in pretty much any area of life. All the aspects of my life are suffering and it’s been like that for a long time.
Q. I feel I am at a turning point in my life yet I feel absolutely trapped without money or any kind of friends or support system. I feel as if I am under “house arrest” or a prisoner of war – unable to move or make any choices!

No sign bounces back from infamy as quickly as charming Gemini. It seems like just yesterday when Gov. Mark Sanford–a chatty Gemini Sun with an emotional Cancer Moon–called a press conference to talk about his feelings and confess it was a fib that he was walking the Appalachian Trail; instead, he admitted that had met [...]

Isn’t the end of something always like that? You go along in your body, in your relationships at home, or work, or school thinking everything’s fine, or just off for a day or two when bam! Fate takes you by the scruff of the neck and gives you a good shaking. Then you need to find a new stride that is like the natural stride you’ve deviated from….

by April Elliott Kent
Astrologers are in a strange business — and so are therapists, doctors, and nannies. By nature, we’re caretakers, healers, and helpers, not moguls. In another age, we’d have been retained by the king or by wealthy patrons and wouldn’t have needed to charge for our services. But the modern day astrologer has got overhead to [...]

by Dana Gerhardt
The Sun has just entered Gemini. Our minds turn towards Gemini things… books, words, chatter, curiosity, whimsy, and evil twins. The Sun turns your attention to the Gemini house(s) of your chart, when it’s useful to pause and ponder which half of Piercy’s poem you’re experiencing this year. Are you going towards a world that seems easy and like-minded? Or does your world, your companions, your familiar routes seem weary and hard? If you’re living in the second stanza, this Gemini season may be especially important for you.

Drawing down the moon… Imagine above you the round glowing disc of the moon, bathing you in a protective circle of light.

Q. I am currently up in the air over work, finances, and, of course, my personal life. I can’t see what direction to take, if any, and am not satisfied with life as it is yet I feel unsure what to change at the age of 54….
Q. have been in an up and down career pattern most of my adult life and, if one looks at the financial picture, since I was a child as my father was a self made millionaire who lost most of his fortune when I was 15….

“It was like a war zone.” That’s what witnesses said about Moore, the Oklahoma town torn apart by Monday’s devastating tornado, now estimated as a class five, with winds up to two hundred miles an hour and at times two miles wide. It’s amazing that so many survived. It’s also an appropriate emblem for the [...]
