Happy to announce that the winner of The Gyre's New Moon in Leo competition is Wendy Layne. Wendy wrote a very enthusiastic entry that embodied the potential fun of the configuration. Congratulations, Wendy. I look forward to our tutoring session.

Thanks to Patricia Lantz, astrology editor at All Things Healing.com, for picking up my recent articles on the Saturn/Progressed Moon cycle. If you haven't taken a look at All Things Healing recently, please do. There is a lot of helpful information there about everything from healthy recipes to finding alternative practitioners. It's worth taking a stroll through all the quality information they have on offer.

Very honored to be mentioned in Mary Plumb's round-up of astrology blogs in the new edition of The Mountain Astrologer. I've been reading TMA for many years and seeing my name there is a bit of a surreal treat. Thanks for including The Inner Wheel, Mary!

It's possible that Progressions One will be offered in October. Stay tuned.

In the late summer there will be classes on Draconic Charts, the Major Asteroids, and more. Sign up for the Gyre to get discounts.

And for all of you who sent so much sympathy my way when my cat, Bee Gee, died last March, I'd like you to know that I've adopted an 8 week old tortoiseshell kitten, Paisley, who is a completely joy. Pictures will be in The Widening Gyre.
