On November 14, the moon will be closer to the Earth than it’s been since January 25, 1948. In astrological terms this means “hang onto your butts.” Madame G recommends whatever works.

You may feel as if you’re at a loss. Whether it’s in relationships with friends and loved ones or co-workers, it’s never easy letting go. Remember, each day is precious. What moments have you gained and lost? If you find that you’re continually missing out, it might be time for change...

All registered voters everywhere have a civic obligation to weigh in on the process of choosing their elected representatives. The low voter turnouts that have been the norm in, particularly, McKinley County—for example, about 30 percent in the June 2016 primary — are unacceptable and suggest a deep well of apathy in the community that stands to poison the effort at making McKinley and Cibola counties better places for taxpayers.

Recently, we saw a practically full gathering of Republicans at Sammy C’s Rock N’...

The Sun in Scorpio encourages deep reflection and emotions. This invigorates work and romantic relationships. Expect an awakening. However, the opposite is possible. Realization may hit that you really hate your job or SO. Madame G recommends caution. Remember what you learned from your grandmother: always be polite and offer guests a bite of food. Good luck!

 

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Resting? You may experience a very positive break that leads downhill for a time. While you rest, take time for self-reflection. In moments of quiet and solitude, we often learn more than we ever imagined possible — for better — and worse. Don’t be such a judge. What you think isn’t good or bad...
