You are special and I appreciate you.
Every April, the streets of Boston come alive with one of the most storied races in the world: the Boston Marathon. First run in 1897, it stands as the oldest annual marathon, blending elite athleticism with deep tradition and community spirit.
Runners from across the globe gather in nearby towns and make their way toward the iconic finish line on Boylston Street. Along the route, crowds cheer relentlessly - none more famous than the students at Wellesley College, whose energy has become a defining moment for many participants.
But the marathon is more than a race. It's a symbol of resilience, especially in the years following the Boston Marathon bombing. The phrase "Boston Strong" continues to echo, reminding the world of the city's unity and strength.
Whether you're chasing a personal best or simply soaking in the atmosphere, the Boston Marathon remains a powerful reminder of endurance not just in sport, but in spirit.
New Moon 26° Pisces
The New Moon in Pisces arrives like a quiet tide, pulling us inward toward reflection, intuition, and emotional reset.
As the final sign of the zodiac, Pisces carries the wisdom and weight of everything that came before it.
This lunation isn't about bold beginnings in the usual sense - it's about release, surrender, and trusting what you feel more than what you can prove.
Under a Pisces New Moon, the boundaries between reality and imagination soften.
Dreams may feel more vivid, memories more present, and creativity more accessible.
It's an ideal time for journaling, meditation, or simply allowing yourself to drift without a rigid plan.
The energy encourages compassion - toward others, yes, but especially toward yourself.
There's also a subtle call to let go.
Pisces reminds us that not everything is meant to be controlled or fully understood.
Sometimes clarity comes not from forcing answers, but from allowing space for them to emerge.
Set intentions that focus less on achievement and more on alignment - peace, healing, forgiveness, and emotional clarity.
In the stillness of this New Moon, what you release may matter more than what you begin.
Whether outdoors or inside - take a moment to relax - and let go.
If you see it as fun - you will embrace the connection to something beyond this earthly experience that bounds the Human Journey to physical reality.
These energies will last for the next three days.

Taurus is a fixed Earth sign ruled by Venus.
Happy Birthday to the Crystalinks readers born in Taurus.

To exist in physical reality is to grasp its bipolar, dualistic, electromagnetic (north-south) nature which unfolds through the concept of linear time as we experience it.
Within this framework (matrix), everything contains opposing qualities, commonly interpreted as positive and negative, right and wrong ...
Consider something like AI. Its impact is being viewed as both beneficial or detrimental depending on one's perspective and programming.
The same applies to the choices we make after filtering them through our intellectual and emotional lens.
Social media encourages criticism and judgment which plays well within our matrix created for the study of emotions. However you rate the value of argumentative behavior it's best to just let it all go because you're not going to change anything. People and reality invariably come to their own conclusions and actions by design.
Never forget that everything created has a positive and a negative aspect forever seeking a balanced outcome.
There are no absolutes. Reality just is. Relax. Take a deep breath. For better or worse in duality ... let life happen. You have no choice (no free will) because if you did how different would your life be.

A soul is a spark of light that spirals into physical reality to experience human emotions.
Sometimes souls travel alone, other times with a partner (soulmates), and other times in what is called a soul group.
We have also come to understand that with soulmates - when one person dies - the other often dies shorter thereafter. This sometimes happens with humans and their pets after years of living together.
John Quinn, 64, the man in the pic above, came to me as a client many years ago when he was an Administrator at Tower Records in the Greenwich Village, NYC. Through the years we had many readings - among the highlights - the loss of his friend on 9/11 after which he wrote a book dedicated to her.
Through the years John attended many of my workshops. He never married - living at home with his parents - close to his five sisters and their families - some of who became my clients. John has had variously careers as an actor, author, and more.
Life happens and the years pass quickly.
This week John came to mind as I posted on Facebook so I decided to click over and see what he was up to. Apparently his father passed away last week on April 7 - and as we had discussed in a workshop about soulmates destined to spend a lifetime together - his mother passed five days later on April 12. I posted a message on John's Facebook wall and hope to catch up with him next week.
For those of you whose journey (programming) is that of parental caretaker - it is not always easy to figure out what comes next after your parents are gone. Luckily, John has a loving family to help him along the way.
