Previewing the May 20 Solar Eclipse: A glass-bottomed boat
Expecting affairs of the human heart to follow the rules of logic and reason is a recipe for dissatisfaction. Don’t ignore underlying problems in your relationships, but seek solutions not with your brain, but rather with your heart. Sit knee to knee with the one you love, and peer into your relationship’s wondrous fathoms through your own “glass-bottomed boat.”

Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius: Quilting
The Moon’s North Node in Sagittarius or the ninth house demands that, like a confused college undergraduate, we must choose a major emphasis for our life’s curriculum.

Gemini Full Moon: The Human Touch
Although I have complicated feelings about the holiday season, I still embrace certain traditions of the Christmas I grew up with.
