Winter Solstice, Mercury retrograde, and Pluto Pluto Pluto

Dear friends, I have neglected you terribly and there is so much to catch up on. First of all – Mercury has turned retrograde (December 19th through January 8th) so all of the usual warnings apply.  Of course I have been wildly disregarding my own advice and doing lots of online shopping to catch the […]

The breakdown of Kanye West (and a birthtime controversy)

Kanye West was hospitalized yesterday after an erratic onstage rant that led to his walking offstage and canceling the rest of his tour appearances. Kanye West (born June 8, 1977, Atlanta Georgia, no confirmed birthtime*) has always been one of the more intriguing figures on the public stage.   I wrote about him back in […]
