New Home Page for October 2024

I've been working on revamping my website into a monthly collection of articles about the zodiac signs of the month. Since I like making monthly calendars, it seemed that the monthly format would serve me well. I'd like to introduce you to the new design with the October home page.

Tarot for the Taurus Lunation, The New Phase

It's been a while since I've written about the tarot and astrology. It struck me today (on the New Moon in Taurus) that it might be interesting to work through this lunation one phase at a time using cards associated with the beginning of each phase.
