Letter to the Editor: The birth of Jesus Christ

E-mail Print PDF
Editor,

Call me a heretic, but Jesus Christ was not born on December 25th.  The date was already popular in pagan religious celebrations as the birthday of the sun. The Gospel of Luke actually suggests that Jesus may have been born in the summer or early fall. Since December is cold and rainy in Judea, it is likely the...

The moon is Void of Course on December 15th. This is a time for staying on course and thinking through problems (even romantic ones) rationally. Madame G recommends you follow your head rather than your heart.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Are you heading toward a new adventure? Perhaps you’re thinking about a new course of action. This next phase in life will be challenging and fun. Happiness is possible, if you allow it. The eleventh house is your humanitarian center, and you may be inspired to get more involved in a cause you care about.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You’re ready for a change. It’s hard to break a decade old pattern. The life you dreamed of or worked toward isn’t...

Dear Editor:

Forest Road 480 in the Zuni Mountains was closed in 2018 from a wash out, the USFS posted a notice on their web site. I happen[ed] to come across by accident while looking for some new road, and off road vehicle maps. The notice advised the road would be closed until further notice.

I was told it would be a long term closure until the road was repaired per the recommendations of USFS employee or engineer.

Paraskevidekatriaphobia! Say that three times fast… It’s fear of the number 13. Did you know scientists believe fear actually creates self-fulfilling prophecies and accidents? Madame G recommends taking fate into your own hands create your own luck. Happy Friday 13th!

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You’re soaring to new heights and accomplishing more than expected. The restless fire of the Aries soul only cools to simmer. Consider focusing your drive in a positive direction.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You dance to the beat of your own drum. It...
