Prince Andrew has been accused by Virginia Roberts Giuffre of having sex with her when she was trafficked at 17.

Tarot of Mystical Moments
The Tarot has always fascinated me. I’m drawn to the images on the cards, and the colors, and the fact that they are all connected to meanings. Each deck I own now I feel close to in a special way, even if it’s not a deck I use all the time. Weirdly, though, I’m not…...
The Straight Head Line of A Crusader: Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
Sometimes our karma necessitates that we become a crusader and a champion of a noble cause while fighting for the underdog.

When I first arrived at the Birla Center 30 years ago my mind and my hand were a mess; my thoughts and emotions were all over the place.

Recognizing People in Your Dreams
Our dreams are populated with people; some we recognize, some we don’t, some are celebrities and others are people we haven’t thought of in years. Why are we dreaming about such a diverse and random group of people? Every person, in every dream represents an aspect of you. (The rare exception are instances when it…...
Affirmation
Awakening to Truth Our lives are based on a pattern of thoughts. Since we are immortal, we always have been and always will be. It is a scientific fact that energy never dies, it only changes form, as we do. The soul is our essence that never dies, and is individualistic but is part of…...
SARASWATI YOGA THEN AND NOW: EMANUEL SWEDENBORG
Saraswati Yoga is one of my personal favorites among the special planetary combinations of Vedic Astrology. Emanuel Swedenborg, the outstanding talent of the Swedish Enlightenment, is an outstanding example of this combination. Why look at an 18th century guy in a wig? Because he had all the features of a Saraswati: precocious intellect, literary, scientific…...
