A storm brewing

By Cassandra Tyndall

There’s a storm brewing through the week, as a rare alignment takes place between Mars and Neptune. Happening just once every two years, its influence may leave you feeling dazed and confused or simply overwhelmed. Focus and determination may make way for imagination, dream and enchantment.
Mars works best with laser-point precision, while Neptune prefers blurred lines and oceanic discombobulation. As these two planets are pitted against each other this week, it may be worth your while to not fight the tide, but rather ride the wave whatever direction it takes you.
The essence of Mars is to defend and protect. You may discover what is worth fighting for as well as what you might need to surrender. Not every battle is worth fighting, though sometimes you need to hold the line. If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything. However, there is a fine line between fighting for what’s right versus being a martyr.
In a world filled with various versions of truth, sometimes you need to loosen your boundaries in order to draw the line. This week provides the perfect astrological alignments to assist you in finding an eye in the proverbial storm.

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!…
