How a Ghost Story Changed My Life

... And why we need a culture that embraces that death is not the End. Today’s full moon takes place at the 23 degrees, 52 minutes of Gemini at 9am UT. Mercury, Gemini’s ruler, stations direct in Sagittarius today as well — time to harvest our insights and “ahas” from the last three weeks, and let some forward motion be restored!
