This year, prepare to experiment and adapt

By Cassandra Tyndall

One of the highlights this week, and of this month, is the movement of action-planet Mars into Taurus. Thanks to an extremely long and rare trip through Aries, this is the first time in nearly six months we’ll have the opportunity to change the direction of our goals, plans and projects.

Fast and impulsive Mars in slow and deliberate Taurus is just the contradiction that it sounds. The good news is, when it comes to new intentions you’ve set for 2021, a slow and steady approach will see you gain the rewards you seek.

That being said, Mars will continue through Taurus for the next six weeks, and during this time will clash with serious Saturn and fuse with radical Uranus.

The question to ponder while the year is still new is: are you doing the same thing you’ve always done and expecting a different result? Or, are you prepared to experiment and adapt? A big part of this year will be about finding ways to merge what you know to be true, with remaining open and experimental to what could be. Your key to success may lie in the small steps you take consistently, rather than the giant leaps you think you need to take.

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!…
