New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
I once read that a whopping one hundred million Americans make New Year's resolutions. That means that each year, about one-third of the US population gears up for the challenging work of self-improvement. Imagine all of this effort spent on facing our own stubborn selves, who often have one or both of our feet firmly planted in the mud. To make it more difficult, our culture is efficient and task-oriented, so it's easy to pick a resolution and treat it as another item on our list of things to do, no matter how big of a change we are seeking. And by the way, have you seen the innumerable commercials, catalogs, and magazines stocked with glossy pictures of happy people with all the latest ...
Most of us desire love, whether we openly admit it or not. Our pursuit and longing to be known and loved for who we are is, in part, our quest for wholeness. Finding our soul mate is as much about discovering our own soul as it is about looking for our beloved. But what is love? Is it a feeling? A belief? Something physical? We say we love chocolate, time off, new cars and sunny days, and then we use the same word to describe our feelings for our family, children, partners and ourselves.

Part one, "All About Him," describes each sign in detail. Here's a short excerpt on Gemini: "'At last,' you think, 'a man I can be friends with,' and this time, you'd be right. It's when the delight of friendship turns into the ...
Ever since I first opened Derek and Julia Parker's book The Compleat Astrologer, I have been fascinated with the patterns formed by planets in astrological charts. One of my first astrology teachers stated definitively that it would be a mistake to become dependent on the aspect lines drawn on charts, and I happen to agree with that assessment. Nevertheless, the patterns in charts reveal a higher level of relationship among the energies of the planets. When three or more planets merge their energies in a pattern, they reveal the personality of the individual and we can anticipate the timing of major events in that person's life more easily. People are fascinated by the patterns in ...
