Leave your assumptions at home. Not everyone got the memo, and out of the number who did get it, half never read said memo because it is practically guaranteed to be long, complicated and boring.

The Gemini part of the sky is famous for imbuing its visitors with remarkable flexibility. Current customers to the yoga studio in Gemini's district include the sun, moon, Mercury and Venus.

The dinosaurs that roamed the Mesozoic period ranged in form from rabbit-sized to six-story-building-sized. Such is the case with the monsters of our minds today: some small, some huge, all ancient history.

Quick, before the sun slips into Gemini -- what do you know about yourself? More importantly, what don't you know? Record this for the sake of contrast.

These are the last days of the Taurus sun, so it's fitting we'll get a last-minute deal from the stars that's too fun to miss.

Think of it as cosmic cash and go "shopping" with the intent to leave it ...Read more

Identity is, to some degree, a story we tell ourselves about who we are. Good stories sometimes involve contrivances, exaggeration and/or a manipulation of facts into a strategic order. There will be lines to draw here, and judgment calls to make, as the sun and Pluto form an auspicious angle linking symbolic materialism to signals of identity...Read more

From the curse of winning the lottery to the good fortune of rain on a wedding day, Jupiter likes to blur the lines between good luck and bad luck by sometimes insisting that it's impossible to know the difference, if there even is one.

Culture has a greater impact on who we are than we realize. Like water to fish, culture is a given that is only noticeable when it changes significantly or disappears. To understand our culture, we must think at a much higher level than the fish. We must toss ourselves into a state of objectivity and inquiry. This is the opportunity of Mars in...Read more

Take off the last two letters of "evolve" and you have "love" spelled backward. No matter how much we adore an entity as it is, we must also embrace that as a temporary state.

The square of Mercury and Mars gets right in the spirit of the Saturn retrograde, nudging us toward emotional and spiritual growth.
