I am finally getting labels on my posts so you’ll be able to find what you’re looking for more easily. In the process, I found the old posts from mid-January 2007 regarding Comet McNaught, which was at that time the brightest comet to appear in over 70 years. Sure enough, Comet McNaught visited us at…

The planet Mars has a lot in common with its namesake, the god of war. Both rule over areas of life where we need to harness our aggressive side – where we try to get what we want and protect what we have. Mars rules over boundary disputes and describes how well we protect our…
