Prepare for both the sweet and salty

Mercury is the most active planet this week, highlighting what may be a flurry of ideas or information, and in some cases, too many options to make a hard decision about. In just over a week, Mercury will hit the brakes and embark upon another retrograde phase. The upside to this is that you’ll get more time and more options to explore. The downside is, that right now, if you want a clear-cut answer or a solution of some kind, you may get it, though it’s likely to change down the track.

In other news, one of the most potent and uplifting planetary alignments happens this week as Venus and Jupiter join forces in Pisces. You may experience a flood of support, compassion or a hopeful feeling that things may turn out better than you imagine. There is a caveat though, and that’s a Solar Eclipse in Venus-ruled Taurus. Thus, things may not be as they seem  — for better or for worse. And with Mercury preparing for his trickster phase,this week could be infused with both sweet and pleasurable delights with a side of salty bitterness. Remain open to the possibility that everything — or nothing, may happen

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!…
