And turned her a bit red (with embarrassment) after an aerial harness failed to operate properly.  As it happened, the solar eclipse at 19 degrees Cancer was nearly exactly conjunct her natal Mars and in square to her Aries Moon.  Pink is one of those “radical Virgos” you hear about (Amy Winehouse is one), with…

Chiron is preparing to turn retrograde so it is most powerful now as it slows down at the zero degree of Pisces and prepares to complete its passage through Aquarius.Chiron’s process of healing is a shamanic one that takes us to the root of all of our fears and emotional pain, inspiring us to transmute…

“Gaia,” by Alex Grey Much has been written recently comparing the Gulf oil spill to the rumored Hopi prophecy that predicts the seas turning black and causing the death of many living things.  Certainly there is no doubt that the disaster in the Gulf will transform life as we know it as it destroys much of…
