Recently my husband and I watched one of those movies that open your mind and affect you deeply. I was struck at one point over how differently we viewed things. This movie was about a shadow figure. This man had been designated as a scapegoat for an entire community. He looked and acted the part.

June 21, 2012 by
This is an energetic, exciting, week that will prove to be pivotal for many. The exciting energy comes from the tight aspect between Uranus and Pluto.
