On Friday evening, the Sun in Scorpio forms a square with the Moon in Aquarius. Examine your actions. As you head towards All Hollow’s Eve, when the veil is thinnest, reflect on your rebirth. Consider Scorpio’s higher symbol, the Phoenix, as the ultimate symbol for transformation. The Phoenix is reborn from the ashes. How will you be reborn? Madame G says: Happy Halloween!

Aries (March 21-April 19)



Discovered anything new lately? If you haven’t, then now is the time to search out the answers to some underlying mystery. If you’ve landed on a doozy, you know it’s the right time to search out the answers. You may be surprised by the results. Consider seeking out an untried...

Pop quiz: which of the following statements are true?

a. The census is constitutionally required in order to count every person in the U.S.

b. The census determines how much federal money—more than $6 billion—flows into New Mexico’s economy every year.

c. New Mexicans are more at risk of not being counted by the census than are people in most every other state.

d. The census is in jeopardy—and that puts New Mexicans in jeopardy.

Since 1790, the U.S has been...
