On May 5, the lunar eclipse indicates that a collective need can promote unity. Jupiter enters Taurus on May 16; value our resources and appreciate your physical connection to the Earth.
Pluto slips back into Capricorn in June; more messages on what outworn institutions must go. The voices of youth gather strength at the summer solstice, as their perspective challenges the status quo. Venus goes retrograde on July 22; reevaluate any impulse for extravagant purchases.

A frugal and strategic orientation in September gains emphasis at the autumn equinox. The October 14 solar eclipse ignites desire and anger. The pace quickens, but the October 28 lunar eclipse reminds us that haste indeed does make waste. Responsibility and commitment deepen in November; responses to this vary, but the long-term rewards of duty is worth the discipline. In spite of the lure of holiday events in December, many want quieter gatherings. The winter solstice sets an auspicious tone for those ready to slough off the past and start anew.

A yen for reflection and creative self-expression requires we unplug from noise.
In numerology, 2023 is a “7” year which means research, rest and assess. The wide view enables us to look within and ahead.
January begins a slow burn. With Mercury and Mars retrograde, it’s best to weigh options rather than race out the gate. The Chinese New Year of the Water Rabbit starts on January 22. Since Mercury and Mars are already in direct motion, expect sudden leaps. In spite of the initial jolt, rabbit years bring in gentleness and tend to avoid or quiet conflict.
Well-laid plans gain momentum in February. On March 7, Saturn enters Pisces; one signal of the denouement of extreme
Stellar Events
In 2023, Saturn, the planet that symbolizes structures, limitations and fear, moves from Aquarius to Pisces. We see old paradigms dissolve and long for a greater spiritual connection. This can set up “false gods”, but can also forge communities with peaceful and just intentions. Like a wave that washes a grand sandcastle, we welcome a void to allow fresh starts.
The United States is in recreation mode with its Pluto return, and over the next couple of years, we are part of what that looks like. In the sign of Capricorn, it brought to light how money and power corrupted the ideal concept of this democracy. As Pluto transitions into Aquarius, we are reminded that the collective voice steers the course, but first we need to regain the tiller.
Retrogrades in 2023
When retrograde, a planet appears to move backward from Earth’s perspective. The symbolism of that planet indicates what internal processes are at play to thwart direct paths. This can be highly productive when you maximize the value of reflection or it can frustrate and even delay action.
The planet Mercury symbolizes the messenger, communications and transit, as well as humor, social media and news. People whose business or personal life depend on electronics feel the retrograde acutely. Messages misfire and directions or appointments go awry. Double-check and backup.
Mercury goes retrograde four times in 2023: December 29, 2022, through January 18; April 21 through May 14; August 23 through September 15; and December 12 through January 1, 2024.
Venus symbolizes how one loves and what is valued. Rekindle childlike play, romance or self-expression. An old love may resurface. Avoid the purchase of expensive goods. Check with your astrologer if a wedding or new financial endeavor needs to happen at this time. Venus in Leo retrogrades on July 22 and goes direct on September 3.
Mars is retrograde at the start of the year and goes direct on January 12. When retrograde, Mars slows action, anger and quiets desire. When Mars goes direct on January 12, expect an energy surge.
When Jupiter is retrograde, it indicates businesses and investment challenges. Hesitation affects speculation, travel or publishing. Resistance paralyzes sales and expansion. Legal matters limp along. Avoid a product or business launch during Jupiter retrograde. However, the retrograde period can be advantageous for research and adjustments. In the sign of Taurus, this slows down real estate. The retrograde begins on September 4 and runs through December 30.

Natural Virus Killer
Copper can stop a virus before it starts
By Doug Cornell
Scientists have discovered a natural way to kill germs fast.
Now thousands of people are using it against viruses and bacteria that cause illness.
Colds and many other illnesses start when viruses get in your nose and multiply. If you don’t stop them early, they spread and cause misery.
Hundreds of studies confirm copper kills viruses and bacteria almost instantly just by touch.
That’s why ancient Greeks and Egyptians used copper to purify water and heal wounds. They didn’t know about viruses and bacteria, but now we do.
“The antimicrobial activity of copper is well established.” National Institutes of Health.
Scientists say copper’s high conductance disrupts the electrical balance in a microbe cell and destroys it in seconds.
The EPA recommended hospitals use copper for touch surfaces like faucets and doorknobs. This cut the spread of MRSA and other illnesses by over half, and saved lives.
The strong scientific evidence gave inventor Doug Cornell an idea. He made a smooth copper probe
with a tip to fit in the bottom of the nostril, where viruses collect. When he felt a tickle in his nose like a cold about to start, he rubbed the copper gently in his nose for 60 seconds. “It worked!” he exclaimed. “The cold never happened. I used to get 2-3 bad colds every New research: Copper kills viruses in seconds. year. Now I use my device whenever I feel a sign I am about to get sick.” He hasn’t had a cold in 10 years. Users say:
“It works! I love it!” “I can’t believe how good my nose feels.” “Is it supposed to work that fast?” “One of the best presents ever.” “Sixteen flights, not a sniffle!” “Cold sores gone!” “It saved me last holidays. The kids all got sick, but not me.” “I am shocked! My sinus cleared, no more headache, no more congestion.” “Best sleep I’ve had in years!”
After his first success with it, he asked relatives and friends to try it. They all said it worked, so he patented CopperZap® and put it on the market.
Soon hundreds of people had tried it. 99% said copper worked if they used it right away at the first sign of germs, like a tickle in the nose or a scratchy throat.
Longtime users say they haven’t been sick in years. They have less stress, less medical costs, and more time to enjoy life.
Soon people found other things they could use it against.
Colds Flu Virus variants Sinus trouble Cold sores Fever blisters Canker sores Strep throat Night stuffiness Morning congestion Nasal drip Infected sores Infected wounds Styes Warts Ringworm Other microbial threats
The handle is curved and textured to increase contact. Copper can kill germs picked up on fingers and hands after you touch things other people have touched.
The EPA says copper works just as well when tarnished.
Dr. Bill Keevil led one of the science teams. He placed millions of viruses on a copper surface. “They started to die literally as soon as they touched it.”
