Declutter, detox

By Cassandra Tyndall

A new week aligns with the changing of astrological seasons. With the Sun embarking upon its annual tour of Virgo, this is an ideal four-week period to declutter, detox or get organized.

As the heat and tension of last weekend’s second Full Moon in Aquarius simmers down, the energy drops somewhat now with a Virgoan influence. New and inspired ideas now can take shape and form under the earthy influence of Virgo. Practical and strategic planning is possible. Finding modalities that calm the mind and nourish the body can help you regulate disruption of your nervous system, anxiety and worry. 

Small tweaks or adjustments can lead to large scale improvements over time. Trade a sugary snack for some fruit. Swap constant scrolling on your phone for a book. Call a loved one instead of messaging them. Before you know it, you’ll notice your body feeling better and your mind becoming calmer and clearer.

Promises or agreements made this week also show signs of being long-lasting. If you’ve fallen short of making meaningful progress on self-improvement in the past, the Cosmos invites you to make a commitment to yourself or even within a special relationship now.

I always ski on June 1st. Some years, the lifts are running, and I’m surrounded by a thousand of my closest friends and fellow ski bums, the line wrapping around the base lodge. Some of us are there for the bragging rights, others for the free t-shirt, and some time at the Umbrella Bar. There’s…

Drawing on inspiration

I know it was second grade because I remember the classroom. And I know what teacher was involved because I never forgot her or the moment I’m about to highlight. The year was 1974. I don’t have many memories from that stage of my life, but the following was poignant enough to have possibly set…

Celestial creature: Indigo bunting

June 4, 2025
There is nothing like the royal blue of an indigo bunting. In the Northeast, they arrive fashionably late to the spring fling, behind the vanguard of migrating warblers and other songbirds. On my morning walk in my frequent birding spot – my “patch,” as birders call it –I heard the sharp double-noted tune: “Look! Look!…
