Astrological Musings

The ides of each month were days in the approximate middle of the month – in March, May, July and October the ides fell on the 15th, and in other months the ides were the 13th. Until the solar calendar was adopted by Julius Caesar, the roman calendar was lunar based and the ides of…

As an astrological counselor, I am a strong believer in the privacy of the clients who come to me for a consultation. I will never mention in casual conversation that so-and-so came to me for a reading, nor do I discuss the contents of their charts with others. So I was mortified to learn that…

Until September 11 the Kennedy Assassination was the primary focus of my quest into…

Recently I noticed yet another plane crash in Indonesia. There was just a plane crash there in January, another in September 2005, November 2004. And then there are the earthquakes – Indonesia has suffered multiple serious earthquakes every year: two already this year, five in 2006, and an astonishing 10 in 2005. And the bird…
