Post-Labor Day News Roundup

posted by Lynn Hayes
  • After last year’s debacle over the Swine Flu hysteria, vaccine makers aren’t taking any chances and are practicallygiving the stuff away this year.  
  • Strikes by train workers in London and France are creating Mercury retrograde havoc for commuters.
  • Let’s file this under Mercury retrograde for revisiting past research efforts that fell by the wayside: Scientists are researching the medicinal value of “magic mushrooms” and marijuana.  Watch for a post on this subject coming soon!

And in news that isn’t related to astrology but interesting nonetheless: a new study shows that money can only buy happiness up to an income of about $75,000 a year.  After that point the happiness quotient, as defined with general satisfaction about your life and your day to day experience of joy, levels off.  

Finally, a brief roundup of a few great astroblogs:

  • Twilight examines a Bosch painting from the astrological viewpoint.
  • JM examines the breakdown of the Obama presidency under Uranus at the 29th degree of Pisces.
  • Kathryn gives her take on the Stephen Hawking controversy.
  • And Beth reminds us that alone time is a valuable thing.

Mercury in Taurus: Give Up the Gab
Speak your mind today, because tomorrow it's time to give up the gab. Mercury is a pretty chatty planet -- except when it's in Taurus, as it will be from Wednesday, May 9 through Thursday, May 24. Remember -- Taurus is the most practical and inflexible of zodiac signs, and it's also the slowest.

Pull the Reigns on that Sagittarius Moon
Whoa, Nelly. Today you might need to reign in your horse (or make that your centaur). The Sagittarius Moon is setting us up to get carried away! Whenever the Moon is in fiery Sagittarius we can't help but want to hop on that half-man/half- horse and ride off into the sunset. We dream of faraway p
