Oh My Stars

Have a look at the people in this picture. The picture comes from an ad on a public transit bus in the city where I live. (Fun Fact: I don’t believe I have ever been on a Canadian public transit bus where there wasn’t some kind of Public Service Announcement ad like this, or for…

(CLICK HERE for the month’s major aspects!) Here’s the most important astrological forecast of the month. Really? Yes! Why? Knowing when the Moon Void of Course is happening is probably the handiest of all the common astrological techniques.
