Looking at the world with an astrological eye
I write a monthly post based on planetary or zodiacal principles. These are the ones tagged ‘The monthly planet’. Using my astrological eyes and ears, I try to make sense of the world. This blog also contains my thoughts and rants on random topics and these are tagged ‘Not the monthly planet’. They are usually my comments on news items. …
Scorpio 2023 I’m not sure having run-ups to elections in Scorpio season is a good idea, knives are sharpened and the black and white attitude of Scorpio can be emphasised, leading to much polarisation.
