Rhythms of return

Cosmic Catalogue

Like Nature, nothing in astrology is linear. Much like life, really. The process of change rarely happens in a straight line. It’s messy. It’s one step forward and two steps back. Sometimes, it’s two steps forward with just one step back.

Sometimes, these circular rhythms are frustrating. Just like how it was to be age 9 in the backseat of your parent’s car, asking, “Are we there yet?” You’re impatient, excited, or bored, just wanting the next phase of whatever it is to begin.

Then, there are times when the opportunity to circle back to something offers the chance to be sure. It can often take more than one time to end a relationship. An old flame may circle back into your life, and while the stroll down Memory Lane is nice, it’s not going anywhere.

The chance to do something over can also be the chance to do something better. A second chance can truly be a blessing. It can be a real lifesaver!

We are at the precipice of the new, kind of like glowing on the metal on the edge of a knife. It’s exciting and impulsive. There’s an element of danger. Some of us can’t wait to launch into the new. At the same time, others cannot wait to circle back. Regardless, we all need to get used to the new eventually.

No patch left unskied

I’m calling it.   I drove around the long way, hoping to catch one last glimpse of the patch before we actually began hiking up into The Canyon. Partly because I wanted to see what I was getting into and partly because I wanted to make sure she was still there. I honestly wasn’t sure…

The longest day of the year has officially come and gone, which means we are now on the slow, downhill slide toward winter.  Given that the days are currently long and the temperatures are nearing their peak, my family has opted for the traditional summer beach vacation.

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…
