~ Dr. Richard Binzel of MIT ![]() The vote to demote Pluto occurred in the most Plutonian time in recorded history and was underhanded and highly contentious. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14489259/ [A]stronomers are already circulating a petition that would try to overturn the IAU decision." http://space.com/scienceastronomy/060824_planet_definition.html "[O]nly 424 astronomers were allowed to vote, out of some 10,000 professional astronomers around the globe." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/5283956.stm "Pluto vote 'hijacked' in revolt...

![]() I've been an astrologer in my home state of Massachusetts for over forty years. My journey began at 13 with Linda Goodman's Sun Signs, a brilliant book that's so entertaining it awakened the passionate curiosity of a young teen mind and millions of people across the world and kicked off the 'new age.' And I feel so fortunate to have also married a Goodman, so I get to share her name! The early 70s were a heady time, with great astrologers just bus stops away, so my older sister Anne and I headed to lectures with the likes of Isabel Hickey, Francis Sakoian and Oscar Weber. In 1974, astrologer Paul Guercio moved to our town and held intimate classes within walking distance. So off we went to expand our minds on cushy floor pillows. In the early 80s Anne went off to make babies and I began a five year apprenticeship with Paul that became a lifelong friendship. In the late 80s I went off to make babies and Paul was approached by government physicist George Hart to collaborate on a programmed forecasting tool they called TimeTraks.. Paul had made astrological forecasts on radio for decades, so he and George took their show on the road as The Merlin Project, making political forecasts on tv & radio for over 25 years. ![]() ![]() Paul always advised his students to keep it simple, so in 1994, pregnant with my third baby and finally computer literate, I followed his advice and designed the FutureGraph™ and BirthPrint™, to simplify astrology and make it accessible to all. ![]() ![]() Paul sadly passed on in 2019 and he will be sorely missed by many. And Dr. Hart has no interest in making TimeTraks publicly available. Here is one of Paul's earlier podcasts on How the Future Happens ![]() I hope you're inspired to investigate astrology, a fundamental tool for humanity. Thank you for visiting. May you find what you're looking for. ![]() ![]() |
