		<title>Mars Retrograde</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ It seems Mars has invited us to ponder his upcoming retrograde—indeed we could say it has already begun, as Mars has been in the degree of his station for nearly a week. The ill-fated cruise of the Costa Concordia was waylaid by Mars—or his emissary, Captain Francesco Shettino, who embodied Mars at his worst: reckless, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dyers Moon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Friends have been wondering why I’m neglecting my gray roots and letting the purple streaks in my hair fade.  I&#8217;ve been waiting for this weekend—one of the best Moons of the year for dyeing. I know it’s 2012 and there are lots more important things to worry about. But the Moon is always pleased when [...]]]></description>

		<title>Solstice Honoring</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night I ate a heavier meal than usual. This morning I slept in. Later I won’t go to the gym as I usually do. It’s solstice time. The sun appears to be standing still as it slowly turns to go back along the horizon line (moving north or south, depending on your hemisphere). This is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dark Sitting on a Winter Moon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The eclipse makes this a special “Long Night Moon.” For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere the December Full Moon heralds the coming of Winter Solstice, which is always a good time for sitting alone in the dark. Dark Sitting is a simple yet profound practice. You can do it with or without lighting [...]]]></description>

		<title>Something to believe in</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Eclipses signal moments of transition, and often disorientation, when things are revealed to be other than what they had seemed. This week&#8217;s Solar Eclipse falls in Sagittarius, the sign of higher education, sports, and beliefs.  In the past two weeks, two scandals involving universities have sent shock waves through the media. First, a former defensive [...]]]></description>

		<title>End of the World Averted</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Maybe all those emails worked&#8211;the ones promoting various global meditations to shift our consciousness and save the planet&#8217;s future. Today, just eleven days past the end of the Mayan calendar (which occurred on October 28, according to some calculations), a large asteroid is hurtling past us, coming within 200,000 miles of our surface, making it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Will the 99 percent go away?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To quote a prominent cultural prophet from the sixties (during the Uranus/Pluto conjunction), &#8220;You don&#8217;t need a weatherman to know which way the wind is blowing.&#8221; Those who are wondering if Occupy Wall Street will fizzle out need only ask an astrologer. Looking at the coming squares between Uranus and Pluto, the astrologer will state [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ask the Moon for a Blessing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every Full Moon is special, particularly when you bring a little magic to the evening. This is the first Full Moon after the change-of-season brought by the Equinox. It&#8217;s a good time draw down extra blessings from the Moon. On the morning of the Full Moon, write down this question: &#8220;What would I most love [...]]]></description>

		<title>Equinox</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today is the Equinox, one of the eight sabbats—or holy days—on the wheel of the year. In Chichen Itza, they still gather to watch the serpent slither down the steps of “El Castillo.” Designed by astronomer priests, the Western-facing steps of this ancient Mayan pyramid and temple were lined with specially cut stones. As the [...]]]></description>
