Shifting the astrological tide

By Cassandra Tyndall

The astrological tide is shifting in dramatic and potent ways which will highlight turning points, solutions and a new course of action. Any stumbling blocks, confusion or general logistical snafus will begin to iron themselves out, thanks to Mercury ending its retrograde phase. At the same time, so does benevolent Jupiter. 

Together, these two planets suggest the arrival of a helpful piece of information or a supportive solution that can help you move forward with confidence and hope. This should continue through the end of the month. 

When you’ve got the intel, insight or fresh perspectives you need, you can push forward with a plan of action. A Full Moon in Aries will illuminate the way in which you can do this. If you’ve been proverbially chasing your tail, delaying action due to indecision or avoiding conflict, this week might be the time to push ahead with your own plans or desires regardless.

Another big turning point takes shape in the form of the Sun’s annual arrival in the sign of Scorpio. As the light shifts focus, it’s time to harness your energy and intention so you’re battle-ready to face the next chapter of 2021’s celestial high-jinks.

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!…
