Oh My Stars

Astrology, like any other field of endeavor that tries to make sense of humans, can be unsettling. I was going through some old e-mails checking up on a few clients (and hey, wouldn’t you like to be one of those too? CLICK HERE for details) when I came across the remains of a blog entry…

(SCENE: A large church, decorated for a wedding. Most of the guests are seated and await the beginning of the ceremony. In a corner away from the crowd stand GEMINI, VIRGO, and PISCES. GEMINI is in a wedding dress, and the other two are in bridesmaid’s dresses.) ANNOUNCER: (voice off) Next on The Astrology Channel,…
