The Cross Quarter in the beginning of February

The beginning of February (2/4 this year) is one of the cross-quarters (the midpoint between a solstice and equinox) of the year. The two in May and November mark the thinning of the veil; some people know them as Beltaine (or May Day) and Samhain (or Halloween, or Dio De los Muertos, or All Saints…

The solar wind is coming! The solar wind is coming!

So, I received an alert from SpaceWeather: During solar minimum, long-lasting holes open in the sun’s atmosphere, releasing streams of solar wind into space.

The Matrix Talk Show: Predictions for 2019

Numerology and today’s date

Numerology is a fascinating practice. I find it more useful than astrology, in terms of being a personal descriptor, and it works extremely well in conjunction with astrology for forecasting over the long term. In fact, my forecast reports combine the two. Today’s date is a fascinating one. 2018 reduces (I’ll explain that term in…

Healing Requires Change

Many people ask for healing without really thinking about what it is they are asking. The quest for healing brings about change, and change is not always comfortable.
