Considering What Influences
The Moon is in Scorpio this morning, just moving into a conjunction with Venus and both applying to a trine of Neptune.Someone recently mentioned that astrologers were typically supported by patrons, and then yesterday I signed up to be a patron for a colleague's podcast at $1 per episode.
