Have you ever noticed that people are different (more intense? crazy?) during the full moon? What happens when the moon is new? Are some times better for scheduling activities than others? Are relationships guided by the phases of the moon? What are the best times for you to look for a job, reassess a relationship, travel, ask for a raise, make educational plans? Every culture on the planet has evolved myths and fables to explain the movement of stars and planets and the phases of the moon. Come learn about lunar influences on your life, and talk about folklore and contemporary astrology in this entertaining workshop. Alumnae/I welcome. (Course code: MOON).

Mr. Dai, a more regular attendee at our local parish, reports that among the more recent shenanigans put forth by our hitherto traditionally quiet branch of Protestantism is: the clown eucharist, ice cream sundae Sunday. Other churches are actually putting on something called the U2charist, in which rock music is played during the breaking of the bread and everyone applauds. Not that I’d have us go back to the services that my Unitarian forebears and his Puritan ancestors would have recognized but, um, WHAT THE HELL!!! Granted, my own belief in a higher authority is definitely influenced by my professional activities (no, I don’t believe Jove, Saturn, Ouranos, Venus and Mars take a physical form). And though I was brought up as an Episcopalian and still consider myself one I’m really appalled at the knuckleheadedness that’s been coming along. We were out in front ordaining women – yay us! But what happened to our (smart, enjoyable, predictable) service? The one church I enjoy attending is St. Mary’s in Wellesley where the Reverend Peter Chase presides over a gorgeous traditional (austere and elegant) service. I hope he doesn’t mind this plug but if we lived closer I would be a more regular attendee.
What does this has to do with astrology? Sun in Virgo brings out perfectionism.

I totally hate long weekends. Part of this is the tyranny of working for one’sself. As the lady who runs the Vietnamese fish market in the neighborhood commented: "when you work for someone else, you get vacation – you work for yourself, no vacation. Work-work-work." If that’s not a Virgo sentiment I don’t know what is.
