December 22, 2010 by
Retrograde Mercury for 2011 By Cortney Litwin I’m often surprised to discover that even if someone doesn’t know much about astrology, they are often knowledgeable about retrograde Mercury. They at least know you shouldn’t sign anything, plan anything or agree to anything until after retrograde Mercury turns direct. That’s often true, but there are ways of getting around this troublesome influence. Trickster Planet Here’s the scoop: Every four months, the planet of communications … [Read more...]

Elsa P. – December 16, 2010: Simultaneously Social and Secretive
December 16, 2010 by
I like the lay of the land this week. We've got something for everyone, just like Christmas. Heading into the weekend most will be engaged with someone or something, somewhere. This is not a common scenario. For example, it's entirely impossible to drop off the screen due depression. Other people go missing due their addictions or denial. They're just not present. Some are simply detached but I don't know of anyone who is managing this at this point or even why they'd want to. … [Read more...]

December 14, 2010 by
World AIDS Day, December 1, presents a unique challenge to a website such as TheBody.com that is devoted to all things HIV/AIDS year-round. How do we commemorate the day in a way that doesn’t simply rehash the information we disseminate every other day of the year? And how do we make World AIDS Day relevant before and beyond December 1? Every year, we create a special section for World AIDS Day , but we wanted our latest effort to be more than a list of resources and statistics. We … [Read more...]
