~ 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... A fierce backlash has begun against the decision by astronomers to strip Pluto of its status as a planet." https://wattsupwiththat.com/2018/09/10/astronomer-pluto-should-get-planet-status-again-previous-de-listing-sloppy/ "Pluto is the second-most complex, interesting planet in our solar system behind Earth" https://www.sciencealert.com/nasa-administrator-jim-bridenstine-says-pluto-is-a-planet "NASA Administrator Says Pluto Is Still a Planet, And Things Are Getting Heated" [2019] http://phys.org/news/2015-02-nasa-missions-re-elevate-pluto-ceres.html "NASA missions may re-elevate Pluto and Ceres from dwarf planets to full-on planet status."

![]() ![]() ![]() I've been an astrologer in my home state of Massachusetts for over forty years. My journey began at 13 when my big sister Anne brought home Linda Goodman's Sun Signs, a godsend for every clueless teenager, so insightful and entertaining I carried it everywhere and read to anyone who indulged me. Sun Signs hit the NYT bestseller list and ignited the Aquarian 'New Age' and the one question everyone can answer: "What's your sign?" I'm ly grateful to Linda Goodman for lighting my path and I swear I didn't marry a Goodman for his name. So the early 70s were an exciting time, with great astrologers like Isabel Hickey and Oscar Weber just bus stops away, so Anne and I attended lectures every chance we got. Then in 1974, astrologer Paul Guercio moved to our town from New York and held cozy, casual classes, on throw pillows,so off we went to expand our minds within walking distance. ![]() ![]() In the early 80s Anne went off to make babies and I mentored with Paul for five years, which became a lifelong friendship. In the late 80s I went off to make babies and Paul collaborated with physicist George Hart on a programmed forecasting tool called TimeTraks.. As The Merlin Project they made political forecasts on tv & radio for over 20 years. In 2019 Paul sadly passed, Dr. Hart moved on and TimeTraks is no more. Paul gifted the world with insight, provocative podcasts, a good book and solid advice to keep it simple. So in 1994 I designed the FutureGraph™ & BirthPrint™ to make astrology simple and accessible to all. Thank you for visiting. I hope you find what you're looking for. ![]() |
