Do you dream about trees?
Despite oak being my favorite type of tree, evergreens appear in my dreams. They manifest as pine-lined roads, cliffside cedars, and the big white spruce trees in the front yard of my childhood home.

🌓 First Quarter in Scorpio: Alchemize your fire.
Turn your rage into action.
Your passion into inspiration.
Your despair into connection.
As long as the spirit persists, so do the people.

American Elm tree arching ALL the way over Madison St. in Hinsdale. Trunk is at least five feet in diameter. I encourage folks to come see it before it’s gone.

Do you have a favorite tree, or two, or three?
Make it your goal this month to find a new favorite tree. It could be steps from your home, at the end of the block, or in a nearby state forest or preserve.

Did you know that your city, county, or state might have a tree planting program? You may be able to plant a tree on your property for free or cheap – some places do the work for you, too! Select a native tree and enrich your local ecosystem.

Happy spring equinox! Snow blankets the ground but the sun is out and the trees are beginning to bud.

🌕 Pictured is Friday's lunar eclipse in Virgo. I'm happy to have a blood moon photo, finally. My first attempt had a steep learning curve, and I didn't get another chance until Friday night. It was worth waking at 1:20 am! And how appropriate that it's in my sun sign.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
