Sunday poetry: The world was made to be free in.

Astrological news this week: A war with no retrogrades and a Pisces New Moon
link February 28 through March 7, 2022. Maybe the US threatening a short dictator with Scorpio rising and Pluto conjunct the Midheaven that his country would suffer untold destruction, under a Venus/Mars/Pluto conjunction, wasn’t the best idea.

The philosophy of karma isn’t typically […]

Astrological news this week: Get ready for a burst of optimism with Jupiter and Uranus
artist unknown? I have some good news this week! This harmonious sextile from Jupiter (good fortune and urge for expansion) to Uranus (radical change and breaking free from outmoded paradigms) technically doesn’t culminate until February 17th, but the two are just two degrees from the exact aspect which will continue to tighten over […]
Sunday inspiration: Mending the world that is within our reach
art by Jorge Ramirez In this time of chaotic change, it can be exhausting trying to figure out how to repair the world. Climate change, political strife, war, hatred… we want to be responsible citizens of the world but we don’t know where to begin. Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes has just the words […]
