Cosmic Catalogue: Something worth fighting for

Another season begins as another one ends. By all intents and purposes, you might imagine that the line between them is clearcut. In some ways they are, while in other ways they are not. That is a very big part of what October’s astrology has been about – the introduction of the new and the phasing out of the old. While they may be separate plotlines, they all form the story of the here and now. The events of the past two years have resulted in this week as the events of two weeks ago will reverberate well into the next two years. This week highlights the tension between fact and fiction, what is worth fighting over and what is not. Opportunities for truth and justice can still be had, though they may not come as easily now. You can dig your heels in and argue your point, but who’s even listening? Words can be weapons, to be sure. Words can also uplift, inspire and heal. Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy? I know what I’d prefer, do you? Be the reason that somebody else’s boat catches the tide this week.

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…
