Today is August 7, 2012 and we are now past the center point of Leo. Venus just slipped into the sign of Cancer and Mercury is fixing to complete his review of the recent past and return home. Those of you that follow Mercury closely, or are especially sensitive to his retrograde periods, are probably… Continue reading The Scout is about to head Home

Magic Triangle
It is the month of August in the year 2012. Temps are warm or downright hot; the Olympics are in full swing; many are traveling in lands far from home. It’s summer time! Now the Olympics might be keeping you in at night, but if you have been out, have you noticed the big triangle… Continue reading Magic Triangle
Content as a Lion
So how is everyone feeling today? Are you counting the days ‘til your August vacation? Imagine what it’s like to have a personal assistant (assuming you don’t actually have a personal assistant). Let’s say as part of your work, you have plans to tour the east coast next month. Well, with a personal assistant, you… Continue reading Content as a Lion
Crustaceans
One should never underestimate one’s power to receive guidance - no matter how unlikely it might seem in the moment. Take, for example, last night's dream: I’m looking on as a friend is up on a ladder working on my old barn. Suddenly, the ladder starts to slide to the right. I hold my breath… Continue reading Crustaceans
Ares
Last week, I was having a casual conversation with a young Aries man who has Scorpio on the ascendant. He described himself as “very impatient” (no kidding!) and asked for some advice. I tuned in for a moment, then said, “Channel your energy”. Hours later, I was still conversing with him in my head. It… Continue reading Ares
Snap
Snap is one of those interesting words that sounds like what it means. It is one of many onomatopoeic words. (Class, say that three times... fast!) For a moment, lets think about the sound of snap. The ‘sn’ can be elongated for effect, and is a constant and even flow of sound. At the ‘a’,… Continue reading Snap
Balance
Have you ever noticed how difficult it can be to get things balanced? That’s how I feel right now. My life feels unbalanced. Just this morning, I was doing a load of laundry - towels. After the cycle completed, the towels were still soaked. I have a very old washer here and when the load… Continue reading Balance
A Fish out of Water
Let’s say you could have a telepathic conversation with a fish. What might that be like? You: Hey fish! How’s the water today? Fish: Water? What water? You: The water you’re swimming in. Fish: I’m not swimming in water. You’re the one that’s swimming - in that ether stuff. You: Don’t be silly fish. I… Continue reading A Fish out of Water
Sit, Relax, & Listen
In the past 32 days, we’ve had a Super Moon/Full Moon (in Scorpio no less), an Annular Solar Eclipse, a Partial Lunar Eclipse, and the last Venus Transit across the face of the Sun until 2117. Now what? If you’re anything like me? A nap! And I do mean literally. I was up and working… Continue reading Sit, Relax, & Listen
Dolly-Zoom
Sir Alfred Hitchcock. Just the mention of his name makes your hairs stand on end. His portrayal of the eerie and suspenseful is classic. He was so effective within his genre that simply his voice, profile, or silhouette was all that was needed to start the fear-quakes a-rolling. And then there’s that characteristic zoom effect… Continue reading Dolly-Zoom
