for your eyes to adjust and for the show to unfold. There’s no precise schedule for
shooting stars, so relax and enjoy the wait. The experience of being under a canopy of
stars, with the Milky Way stretching overhead and meteors streaking across the sky,
is truly awe-inspiring Next meteor shower, seek out a dark spot. Look up and let your
eyes adjust, and prepare to be awed. In that quiet moment under the stars, you might
just rediscover your sense of wonder and place in this vast, beautiful cosmos.

Author Stephen David Manning has written a book named
Fertility Wheel which embarks on a journey of reinterpretation
of the zodiac signs that bridges the gap between ancient
symbols and text and basic farming knowledge. Interesting to
discover that perhaps the sign we were born under may have
a different meaning under this chart. You can find it on Amazon
or drop by My Baja Nest for an autographed copy.
