Incubate your plans and dreams

By Cassandra Tyndall

This week is one of my favorite weeks of the year as we build up to the first New Moon of the astrological New Year. So, in some ways, you could say that this is the dark before dawn. It’s the time to incubate your plans, dreams and goals that you’d like to see blossom over the next 12 months. 

On Friday, April 1, at 2:24 a.m., the Moon will fuse with the Sun, symbolizing bright new beginnings. This is the week to decide what you want to initiate. Fortunately, with Venus and Saturn also fusing as the week begins, you can get very clear about what you want. This might mean having to draw the proverbial line in the sand about what and whom you’re available for as well as what and whom you’re not. The chance arrives to mend any cracks and recommit to what matters. So does the chance to come to the conclusion that a certain situation is no longer working and it’s time to end things in a mature way. If you’ve been caught between a rock and a hard place in recent weeks, finally, you’ll get the chance to make a choice and start afresh — one way or another.

Life in a shell: eastern box turtle

June 25, 2025
As a budding naturalist growing up in the concrete-heavy environs of Boston, I would regularly thumb through my family’s collection of nature books and daydream about the creatures within. One species I was particularly drawn to was the eastern box turtle. These charismatic terrestrial turtles have high-domed shells festooned with colorful yellow or orange markings…
