Both Venus and Mars in Pisces since April 11th has had us focusing on others, and the “sacrifices” we might be making in our relationships. Mars enters Aries [...]

Mars has been transiting my twelfth house for the last while, and I have found myself in desperate need of sleep even when I’ve had my full 8 hours. Any chance I get to take a nap, I take it, and only an alarm will awaken me. Sleep beyond what is necessary for refreshment, for [...]
