Scorpio likes to look in the dark places. Halloween, the Scorpio holiday, dead center of autumn here in the northern hemisphere, is traditionally time to face our fears before real winter hits, whether we fear a local ghost, a rocky economy or urban drought. It’s also time to review what [...]

Is life getting a bit strange these days? Mercury is retrograde Oct 12 through Nov 1. When Mercury is retrograde, when the peculiarities of its orbit make Mercury look like it’s moving slowly backwards in the sky, things get strange. Everything we associate with Mercury takes on a unique twist: the [...]
