•10 Spiritual Principles I Learned from the Yard Guru
10 Spiritual Principles I Learned from the Yard Guru by Nancy R. FennThe great guru in my life in recent years has been by yard. No ordinary yard, I live in the foothills east of San Diego, abutting on the true wasteland between here and Mexico, where scrub brush, poison oak and rattlesnakes would scare away the most intrepid gardener. This is why I refer to working in my yard, rather than working in my garden. This yard of mine is 4 of the toughest acres in this neck of the woods and I'm...
•40 Days and 40 Nights in the Wilderness with Venus
40 Days and 40 Nights in the Wilderness with Venus by Nancy R. FennVenus, the planet, goes retrograde (backwards) less frequently than Mercury, about every 18 months, and lasts 40 days. Because it is less frequent, it is more difficult to understand and wreaks more havoc than a Mercury retrograde. Mercury affects communication. Venus affects possessions, relationships, women’s issues and most of all values. Venus asks, “What is it that you really value?” Many astrologers also believe that...

FennMERCURY HAS MANY MEANINGSThe planet Mercury is a complex and enigmatic planet that has much more to do with our lives than just "communication", like faxes, emails, answering machines, telephones and media.Mercury in ancient astrology was the Winged Messenger of the Gods.

•Behold a Son
Behold a Son by Nancy R. FennMothers have voiced their disapproval over the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. It seems they would do anything to keep the United States from another war and their sons safe at home in the future.I wonder if these women would be willing to consider naming their sons peaceful names?

•Booty Grabbing at Your Place of Worship?
Booty Grabbing at Your Place of Worship? by Nancy R. Fenn"Many of us, however, flinch at 'the peace'. It spoils the privacy and dignity of worship, and we dread it like the onslaught of the dentist's drill." -- Letter to "The London Telegraph" Recently I've had some interesting conversations with an introvert in the Midwest whose minister tries to grab him and hug him on the way out of church every Sunday and I got to thinking ... how prevalent is this situation? Has the recent trend toward...
•Brother Tiger, Brother Bear
Brother Tiger, Brother Bear by Nancy R. FennI thought this would be an animal story. Last week, on his 59th birthday, Roy Horn of Siegfried & Roy was mauled by his seven year old 600 lb. white tiger, Montecore, in front of a sellout crowd at the Mirage Hotel where the show has been playing since 1990.

•Fixed Stars, Not Fixed Fates!
Fixed Stars, Not Fixed Fates! by Nancy R. Fenn"What hogwash!" he said, only he used a different word. "When you screw up your life, you blame astrology, like you had no choice because you were born at a certain time." Now he was smiling. "The reason I do drugs and can't keep my fly zipped isn't because of any stars! Like my old man knocked up my mother when Scorpio was Rising and because of that I'm going to jail? I don't think so! I'm going to jail because I’m bad to the bone!"This is a...
•Having Eyes to See
Having Eyes to See by Nancy R. FennWe begin our spiritual development by taking ourselves apart and putting ourselves back together again the right way. We review many observations and conclusions made in childhood and revise our conclusions based on new evidence. In a small town in the Midwest, near the turn of the century, a boy named Robert grew up on the wrong side of the tracks. He wore hand-me-down. His parents couldn’t afford to get him a haircut. The other kids teased him. People...
•Here's to Your Good Health with Astrology
Here's to Your Good Health with Astrology by Nancy R. FennWho doesn’t want to be healthy? I’ve been fascinated with health ever since I can remember.

•PLEASE DON’T SHATTER MY DIAMOND
PLEASE DON’T SHATTER MY DIAMOND by Nancy R. FennWhat makes an introvert an introvert?

Understanding Your Introverted Teen by Nancy R. FennFor most of my life, I've felt hopelessly weird,” said Heather, an introvert in her early thirties. “Like I don't really fit in. I've learned how to fool some of the people some of the time - there are those who swear I can't possibly be introverted - but I know better. Solitude and reading time are like oxygen for me; and too much time spent with other people (especially talkative sorts) is draining.”Heather struggled with being an...
