I am not a Mac user, but some of my best friends are. This is only the second astrological appreciation I have felt called to do, despite the worthiness of all those who have passed since my little piece on Anita Roddick in 2007.

This week is about questions. The whereabouts of Gaddafi are still unknown. And the issues thrown up by the London riots (violence, poverty, social alienation, policing, parenting etc) are just beginning to be unravelled.  In order to arrive at solutions, the problems need to be fully understood.

We are poised at the moment, waiting to see what effect Hurricane Irene will have on New York; waiting for the Libyan rebels to find the whereabouts of Colonel Gaddafi.  We are being asked to encompass so much in our minds at the moment, so much that is new and shocking.  Either that or we […]
