Astrological Musings

by Lynn Hayes , As the world knows by now, David Letterman recently responded to a multimillion dollar extortion plot against him by announcing the scandalous details of his in-office sex life on his television show on Thursday night. A former staffer had apparently collected information about Letterman’s affairs and revealed them to her boyfriend,…

by Lynn Hayes Thanks to all of you who voted in the poll about renaming my Skywatch column!  It was very helpful.  My website is down (can’t blame it on Mercury retrograde, but there we are) but you can  read my newsletter along with “Skywatch Lite,” the abridged and summmarized version of Skywatch, in the…

by Lynn Hayes The earthquake yesterday in Samoa was a severe one, with a magnitude of nearly 8 on the Richter scale, resulting in a tsunami in the Samoan islands that have killed hundreds of people. This event occurred as the Moon joined Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune, but even more significant is the square of…
