It’s easy to lose our bearings, with outrageous news stories coming at us hourly, as if shot from a gun. Let’s take a moment to regain our astrological balance. We’re in a grey area right now, between the Age of Pisces, now dying, and the Age of Aquarius, famously dawning.…
The planetary formations up in the sky right now are rare and profound, and they’re hitting the USA right between the eyes. There’s a collective destiny at work here. And per the law of synchronicity, the American group soul has conjured up a circumstance perfectly suited to the life-or-death symbolism…
Attacking reporters is a classic gambit of autocrats, and with today’s glut of global tyrants, lethal assaults on journalists are increasing all over the world. Including here, in what is supposed to be a rock-star democracy. But like any tin-pot dictatorship, the USA has a president who calls reporters “enemies…
