Posted on December 15, 2022 by cdsmiller17

Three Pines (2022) When I first heard the title of this series on Amazon Prime, I thought, “Another ‘Twin Peaks’?” I was right, and I was wrong, at the same time. There is a strangeness element, but it isn’t so … Continue reading →

Posted on December 2, 2022 by cdsmiller17

Roy Rogers (November 5, 1911 – July 6, 1998) I don’t have to say too much about this man for people my age. His birth chart is enough. This time is considered excellent. The Moon and the North Node conjunction … Continue reading →
