Astrology Highlights for July 8-15, 2024: Let Someone Give You a Drink
Sometimes, it’s just helpful to bounce ideas off someone else. On the eve of my marriage, I asked my mother what she had appreciated most about being married, and she said, “I think it was just having somebody to talk to about things.” Several decades later, I completely understand what she meant.

Astrology Highlights for July 1-7, 2024: The Big Table
At this Cancer New Moon, I wish you a good dinner at a strong table with people who care about you.

When the largest planet in our solar system meets in an aspect with the smallest, you’d think one voice would drown out the other completely.
