LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A wealthy hedge fund manager named Raj Rajaratnam paid Leo singer Kenny Rogers $4 million to perform at his epic birthday party. But the night turned nightmarish for Rogers when Rajaratnam insisted that he sing his hit song “The Gambler” over and over again. Finally, after 12 repetitions, Rogers refused to […]

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The coming weeks will be a wonderful time to waste time on the internet. If you are properly aligned with cosmic rhythms, you will spend long hours watching silly videos, interacting with friends and strangers on social media, and shopping for products you don’t really need. JUST KIDDING!! Everything I just […]

Dear Dr. Jane, I’m in love with my wife. We have a pretty good relationship and we both like sex, but intimacy’s been difficult this summer. We’ve only had sex once since the kids got back from camp. There’s always something in the way. It seems like they never sleep, or if they do sleep, […]

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I love the fact that Antarctica doesn’t belong to anyone. Thirty nations have research stations there, but none of them control what happens. Antarctica has no government! It has a few laws that almost everyone obeys, like a ban on the introduction of non-indigenous plants and animals. But mostly, it’s untouched […]

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Astrologer Chris Zydel says every sign has superpowers. In honor of your birthday season, I’ll tell you about those she attributes to you Leos.

Life: A Walk in the Park? We all know the answer to that one. Whether it’s our work, our partner, our family, our physical health, mental health…life. No matter what, sometimes it’s a walk in the park and other times it’s a walk in the park during a tornado. But we do live in a […]

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Some bamboo species grow very quickly—as much as 36 inches per day. I suspect your capacity to burgeon and blossom will display a similar vigor in the coming weeks. You may be surprised at how dramatic your development is. I’m hoping, of course, that you will be acutely focused on channeling […]

On July 13, a 20-year-old white male was able to get his hands on a legally purchased semiautomatic AR-type rifle and nearly succeed in assassinating a United States presidential candidate. This tragedy is a call to action that includes all of us and especially those of us over 65. Our experience and our perspective are […]

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In 1986, Cancerian singer-songwriter George Michael released his song “A Different Corner.” It was a big hit. Never before in British pop music had an artist done what Michael accomplished: wrote, sang, arranged, and produced the tune, and played all the instruments. I foresee the possibility of a similar proficiency in […]
