Scorpio Weekly Horoscope

No doubt all that Saturn action in your 12th house has brought up some intense and ancient fears or hidden agendas that need clearing. The Full Moon Monday night connects with Saturn in this same area and lights up what you couldn’t see before. Have Faith in your Self and in your ability to clear away those cobwebs, because once you do you’ll be more prepared than ever to go forward with your goals in a newer better way. You’ve made many adjustments in the past few weeks and now Venus and Mercury move into your opposite sign, Taurus, and your relationship sector comes to life. You thought it was activated before, but that was more about realignment than relationship. Now that you’ve shifted on the inside it’s time to see what those changes look like.

And that is exactly what relationships are for.

American alligator


An American alligator suns in the shallow, tannin-rich waters of the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge in Georgia. An adult alligator can reach 8-12 feet in length and weigh 400 to 500 pounds. The primitive reptile was nearly hunted to extinction for sport and for its leathery hide, which is used for shoes and purses. Established in 1937, the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge protects the waters, wilderness and wildlife of the 438,000 acre Okefenokee Swamp. The red hue of the water which when reflective looks like black coffee, is caused by the acid released from decaying vegetation.

village of Foro


Girls and young boys clamber up a steep path to the village of Foro in Ethiopia, each carrying up to six gallons of cloudy river water. They make the 2-3 hour round-trip several times a day. Boys are exempted from the chore once they reach the age of 7/8, but females spend most of their lives hauling water.

Dogon mask dance


Dogon mask dance

These dances are performed at several times during the year, and serve to celebrate the start of the rainy seasons to bring about abundant rainfall, at the end of the harvest seasons to ensure plentiful crops, and also as funerary rituals to commemorate the dead. The dances involve dozens of dancers representing figures from the animal world, male and female powers, and the after-world, while the masks represent spirits, women, midwives, witchdoctors, snakes, antelopes and other various representations.

The Dogon are an ethnic group living in the central plateau region of Mali, south of the Niger bend near the city of Bandiagara in the Mopti region. They are best known for their mythology, their mask dances, wooden sculpture and their architecture.
