Shedding stagnation

By Cassandra Tyndall

This first full week of the month of October primes us for exciting new beginnings thanks to much of the stuck and stagnant energy of recent months starting to alleviate. The most potent influence combines the New Moon plus the fusion of the Sun and Mars. This will seed a new cycle of action, energy and focus. In the process, though, the unearthing that has festered or been hidden will make obvious the dross that needs to be burnt away. Themes involving “solar figures,” in particular leaders, politicians, CEOs, military and generally anyone in the spotlight are likely to appear, especially as the truth emerges. 

On a personal note, you might experience a renewal of energy, purpose, clarity and direction. If you’ve been spinning your wheels in a particular area of life, this week can help you make an important choice. It may take several weeks for the wheels to start turning again at full speed, but the power of making a decision is always the first step to taking action toward anything that matters. This week, intention will be everything. Decide on what you really want and recognize that while compromise can be nice, sometimes you need to stand your ground.

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!…
