Cosmic Catalogue: Mid-decade changes

It’s the week between Christmas and New Year, where you don’t know what day of the week it is nor what you should be doing. 

On the one hand, the astrology of this week supports taking it easy and letting the atmosphere of the season take a hold. 

On the other hand, you may be loath to get too comfortable because once the fog clears, things will look different. 

A Full Moon in Cancer highlights home and hearth, kin and clan. A time to bask in and reflect the joy of what connectedness with those you care about really means. I do implore you to revel in this as much as you can, but at the same time, don’t take it for granted. 

The peace you enjoy today didn’t come for free. 

The peace you want to enjoy tomorrow will come at a price. 

This week defines the moment where we exit the early 2020s and nose dive into the mid-decade changes that will carry us through into the 2030s. 

While this week may feel foggy and confusing, take the opportunity to realign yourself with what is true for you and what may be required of you to defend it.

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!…
