The week starts with opportunities for success in any endeavor if you put some effort into it. By Wednesday your energy level may drop, and your body will be in need of a day off. So, make the most of Monday and Tuesday this week for accomplishing something that you really want. People will be more open and receptive then.

We are heading towards a powerful full moon on the 19th, which begins to feel like a wave that is swelling as the weekend arrives. Saturday can be challenging and throw you off balance; be careful of accidents with sharp metal objects.

This week begins with a supermoon on Monday May 5th, Cinco de Mayo. A new moon which occurs when it is closest to the earth is called a supermoon. As a result, we have a couple of weeks with intense weather patterns and high tides. Since the moon affects the rhythms of our bodies, there can be high emotional tides as well as those in the oceans! This new moon is in the sign of Taurus, and areas of our life affected could be self worth issues, self reliance, finances and possessions, survival and values.

On May 8th the ongoing meteor showers peak. They can be seen in the hours just before dawn.

Venus is visible as the Morning Star shining brightly in the sky just before dawn. This is the last week to see her before the sun’s rays combine with this planet, blocking her from view. We will have to wait for her to reappear as the Evening Star in July. Meteor showers this weekend can be seen easily, with a dark night sky as the Moon becomes a sliver. Look for them in the early morning hours. There are two different showers that coincide and peak around May 4th and 5th. The new moon on May 5th is a SuperMoon. This is a term used when a new moon occurs at the time the moon is closest to...

Grand trines form this week which could help each of us in solving long-standing problems, particularly financial ones. You may finally come to terms with your financial reality, credit card use or debt. Start saving or investing instead of spending and begin to empower yourself. Create a financial plan.

If you’ve stayed in a job which does not use or value your talents and abilities you may begin to feel it strongly. It may begin to feel meaningless.

On Sunday the Full Moon in Scorpio shines a light on strongly felt emotions. There could be a tendency to be very direct in your exchanges...

This week can be quite a roller coaster ride for all of us. The week starts out very different from how it ends up.

Monday through Wednesday brings an auspicious time for investments and solid financial decisions. Attention to your personal resources is a focus. Scheduling treatments for enhancing your health or just pampering your body are recommended. By Wednesday make plans or develop strategies as you network with others.

Thursday morning you may feel an air of confidence which could help you create an opportunity for yourself. Take advantage of this window of time for accomplishment.

The Case of the Coughing Cat sounds like a Perry Mason mystery from the 1930s. But it’s real, not fictional, and it’s now, not then.

The cat was coughing because it had the fearsome disease, plague. It may have sprayed droplets of its bacteria-laden saliva on a Santa Fe county family. If so, they were in mortal danger. When the sick cat was finally taken in January to a veterinarian, the disease was suspected, and a test by the New Mexico Department of Health confirmed it.

Plague comes in three versions: Bubonic strikes the lymph nodes in the groin, armpit or neck, and they become...

A strong feeling pervades this week of a deep need to be nurtured, cared for and cared about. Having to provide for our everyday needs and basic physical security has taken much of our daily focus, and a need to be heard and share information is added to it. What now becomes important is to share or talk while others listen, and opening up to another’s perspective by being good listeners ourselves. Our determination can be used to nurture what we want to grow and take root in our life, rather than forcing our will upon situations. This shifts the focus from what we lack, to opening up to...

Thoreau would definitely love this place, I think as I sit with longtime Plants of the Southwest employee Susan Westbrook, each of us haloed by shafts of golden sun at our backs. Feeling like a warm, contented cat, I gaze around their spacious sales area, marveling at the simplicity. Nothing is extraneous in this nursery–there’s a modest selection of well-made gardening tools, wall displays of seeds and a collection of carefully-chosen resource books, most of them describing details about how to live la vida sustainable.

Back in the mid-seventies–1976, to be exact, a tumultuous year as...
