The dust storm on Mars: symbolism and paradigm shift
“A martian dust storm that started in late May, silencing NASA’s Opportunity rover, has now wrapped itself around the entirety of Mars, radically transforming the appearance of the Red Planet.

Neptune, planet of inner exploration, creativity, and spirituality is going retrograde on June 18th until 11/24).

Astrology heads up for end of June
June 26 to July 10 will be an important few weeks. Here’s how to make the most of it!

Looking at 2018: Thoughts and Predictions

It can either be a divisive year, where the…
