The Sun's aspect with jovial Jupiter could signal the beginning of an end. You are ready to go out in a flash like a moth to the flame, but you are not so much obsessed as you are eager to do your work. Your spiritual quest isn't likely to sustain you with enough money to live, but without deeper meaning you'll lose interest ( Read more... )

Home from Montana and my first two lengthy train rides! Both were excellent, but I'm not sure were things I'll do often, though I would like very much to see Glacier again at a more leisurely pace. I'd trade a day and a half of train time and all of my curious and colorful Minneapolis experiences for another hike or two in those awe inspiring ( Read more... )
