Sebastopol, CA. ~ So, now we are ready to do our sum- mer garden planning which is a delightful form of life plan- ning when you think about it and a great metaphor for many things.


As the soil


starts to revive and stretch out of winter’s sleepy grip. Our spirits, body-homes, rela- tions and cultures quicken as well. There’s an aw- ful lot of spring cleaning going on, sifting and sorting, stay -go, expand -contract. It seems that no mat- ter how big or small, micro- scopic or glacial we all partici- pate in this seasonal peristaltic ritual. As we have talked about before, the zodiac too moves in that inchworm-way; expand and contract. Now we settle into one of the most fertile earth signs, our first earth sign, Taurus. keeping with our sum- mer garden planning, Taurus natives will continue the tradi- tions of their ancestors and will plant a good crop with a variety of heirloom tomatoes.


Lucky


for Taurus though since they can focus well and complete the project/ projects at hand.

It might be- hoove the Gemini to focus on one or two main “garden plans” plant whole rows in case it’s really good and for Taurus to leave a little open patch for that weird little curiosity that might turn out to be nothing or every- thing!


Gemini is fast, a great deal of “Mercurial “power is generated between the two pillared twins. Somehow and in most cases, They imbue the scene with a crazy kind of confidence, bal-

cine, a physics trick to move soooo fast that a meditative stillness is created. That which was thought to be lost seems to come through in some form and the message is delivered even if in an encrypted manner. Ethereal is their word. To continue our patterns of deciphering the language of the stars, lets entertain the role that the moon plays in your life. In the chart the moon is our in- terior world, as in a wishing well, you see your reflection. The moon reflects your inner self and the particular sign de- notes the timber and tonal at- mosphere.


On those days when the moon is full, and your day has not gone anywhere close to what you wanted to, find a secluded place and howl in the most pri- mal way that you can even if it is into the crook of your elbow or your pillow. This is your sound , your doorbell to self . If you live in the mountains and

So...do I always get the world to change? Nah. But do I feel better speaking up respectfully for what I value –yes indeed. And in finding others who sympathize along the way, and inspiring further actions.


Grumbling. Not a useful


exercise if that’s all we do. But very useful if we take it seriously, examine what it’s really about, take a stand, and make the world potentially a bit better.

May this issue find you well!
