The New Moon is June 23rd at 3 degrees Cancer. This is the cycle of Cancer, about home, family, and nurturing, not only for others, but for ourselves. The New Moon occurs just a few days after the solstice, June 20th, a major turning point in the wheel of the year. This New Moon is […]
The resurgence of jazz as a popular music genre has been taking place over the last few years thanks to iconic pop musicians like Queen Latifah, Lady Gaga and Cyndi Lauper who have released albums of jazz standards, introducing the Great American Songbook to a new generation.

I grew up in a social and religious subculture where my family, community, school and church, exemplified the traditional expectation that boys and girls grow up to be husbands and wives.

There are two main themes with a month, a Full Moon and a New Moon. The Full Moon is when the Sun and Moon are exact in opposite signs. During Aries, the Full Moon is in Libra, and is exact Monday night, April 10th. This polarity is always about relationships. This is the time when […]
The New Moon represents the Sun and Moon being at the same degree in the same sign. It begins a new lunar cycle for the next approximate 28 days. This New Moon, Monday, March 27th is in Aries, ushering in the spring. Aries is about energy and activity. As there are now four planets in […]
I am standing with Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North Dakota to halt the oil pipeline. It has already mostly been laid, so a lot of apathetic people are like, ‘”Oh well, come on they already did it, so why not let em finish?” NO. The Native Americans do not want it on their land and they […]
