People are in touch with their emotions and can express what they feel, there is a pleasant sense of well being and generosity, and encounters with others are powerful. The Taurean Moon also sextiles Neptune in Pisces for creative...

Highlights this week are a festive double Pig Thursday, and a new Moon at 5:36 pm PT on Sunday that begins Fire Rat month on Winter Solstice — the longest night of the year!

So take some time today to observe nature, and get a second opinion from the creatures that surround us. My favorite form of animal divination is ornithomancy, divination from the flight of birds. A bird flying to the right means yes, to the left...
