In the Belly of a Duck Cleaning House
When you decide at this New Moon to spend quality time with your heart (and with the Sun and Moon opposed Pluto, you probably will)… it will be the unpleasant stockpile of emotional refuse that you feel compelled to tackle. The old grudges, the ancient hurts and embarrassments, the terrifying vulnerabilities that you've lived with for years because you just couldn't face them, because they are heartbreaking, demoralizing - or in some strange way, giving your life purpose. So what will you let go of, this New Moon season? Whom should you forgive, and what are the lessons you should choose never to forget? ..... (read the full article)

The Shallow End of the PoolSlowing Down, Turning Around
If the beginning of winter is the time of determination, of buying new calendars and drafting bold resolutions for a year of success and prosperity, then the summer solstice marks the year's reevaluation point. Even if we've been underachievers in the first half of the year, there may still be time to reach our goals. But we can't speed our way through this transition. Just as the sun at the summer solstice appears to stand still in its movement across the horizon, then turn around and move the other way, that is our job at midyear: to stand still for a moment, look around, and take stock of where we are. .... read the full article

The Shallow End of the PoolThe Shallow End of the Pool
There was a time too many of the relationships in my life were dependent on "making nice" and keeping things on a surface level. If we’re too Gemini-flexible, too facile at darting and weaving our way through interactions with people who see the world differently than we do, too reluctant to stand for any one thing, then we risk forgetting who we really are. If we don’t tell the truth about how we see the world, how can we find empathetic people to share our journey?.... read the full article

Brothers and SistersBrothers and Sisters
Few people in our lives get the opportunity to influence us when we are so malleable as in childhood, when brothers and sisters leave their handprints on us as they might in wet cement. But the truth is that while the emotional connection may be less compelling, we share similar bonds with people who share our neighborhoods, our communities, our alma mater, our mother tongue, the country of our birth. Ask any expatriate about the thrill of hearing his native accent or language spoken while in a foreign land. And the next time you’re at a party with a lot of people your age, introduce a tag line from a commercial or television show that was popular when you were in grade school. Suddenly, you’ll find that you’re among siblings who understand something about your history and who speak your language..... read the full article
