The Sun left watery Cancer for fiery Leo a few minutes before 6 a.m. Chicago time on Tuesday, July 22. It remains in the sign of the Lion until August 22, giving us a full month to explore our creativity, bring out our playful inner child, and seek our heart’s desire. All these aspects of […]
Honoring the Divine Mother
Today marks the Sun’s final day in the astrological sign of Cancer for this year, as tomorrow it moves into the sign of Leo at a few minutes before 6 a.m. Chicago time. As it does every year, the Sun began its journey through Cancer at the Summer Solstice, which this year occurred at 7 […]
Going with Mercury’s Flow, Part Five
Thursday brought rain, giving us a perfect opportunity to visit the Denver Art Museum. We started with the small but interesting collection of European and American painting, sculpture, and furniture; then toured a special exhibit of Amish and Mennonite quilts; and ended up on the ground floor for a special show of quilts from Gee’s […]
Going with Mercury’s Flow, Part Four
During day two of our drive west, the words “Cripple Creek” had caught my eye while scanning the atlas’s map for Colorado.

Our good fortune and good timing became apparent immediately when we saw how much of the garden was in […]

Driving through Nebraska on the second day of our vacation took us past farms, all lush and green in the bright sunshine against brilliant blue skies, thanks to recent copious rains. Despite Nebraska’s great width and mostly unchanging scenery, we found the landscape soothing and restful–just the medicine we needed after months of intensity in […]
Going with Mercury’s Flow
The next-to-last day of May found us driving westward for a vacation in Denver and surrounding areas. Knowing Mercury would be retrograde throughout the trip, we gave up making any firm plans—with the exception of our ultimate destination and the dates of our departures from Chicago and from Denver. Instead, we carried a few thoughts […]
Divine Messages
The Sun moved out of Taurus and into airy Gemini on May 20, a shift that invites us to focus on our minds, new ideas, and all things associated with communication and transportation. The call to attend to these areas actually began May 2, when Mercury—which rules Gemini—entered the sign of the Twins, and it […]
