Tra-la! It’s May! The merry month of…no, wait— May this year is somber, like the spring that seemingly never comes. No matter the temperature outside, the astral weather is chilly. It settles in with cold, hard pragmatism, demanding that turf lines be drawn...

Here’s how to get through this day: a checklist. Have I eaten? Have I slept? Have I drunk enough water? Am I stressed? And—if so—is there anything I can do about it? Have I laughed today? What Moon-phase is it? What are the rest of the planets doing? Can I figure this...

Heigh-ho! It’s fair season again! Psychic fairs; holistic expos; wellness conferences abound…there’s a smorgasbord of events for every taste. And we, the swamis, scurry forth from our winter hibernation and dust off our crystal balls or Tarot cards, and trot out the...

Mercury Retrograde. The very words strike terror into the breasts of the initiated, particularly those who don’t have the option of holing up in the Himalayas and have to navigate the workplace—wherein they can expect delays, last-minute demands, computer gltiches,...

Sometimes I think about the story of Odysseus and his men sailing past the Sirens. Do you know the song those girls on the rocks were singing? “You’re the Only One Who Can Save Me…” It was dangerous then, and it’s dangerous now—as well as being completely false....

I owe an enormous debt to Katharine De Jersey. My Aunt Emily, who felt I should read it, gave me her autobiography, Destiny X 6: An Astrologer’s Casebook. And an astrologer was born. De Jersey (1913-2005) was a well-known “celebrity” astrologer, who practiced in...
