Daylight Savings Time began yesterday when we turned clocks ahead one hour. We begin our week with less sleep and a Void-of-Course Moon, so Monday morning may be a bit challenging as we rush to get out of the house and start the day.

The planets Mercury, Venus and Jupiter are all visible in the morning sky this month. Venus highlights the week as it forms aspects to Saturn and Pluto. Mercury and Venus change signs this week and move into sensitive Pisces. Our feelings can be stirred and we can be impressionable with these two in Pisces, believing what we

Your wedding day will be a glorious event, carefully planned and seamlessly coordinated. The sun will shine, everyone will arrive on time, you will indulge in your beauty sleep the night before and all will be wonderful.

Applying for a job can be frightening, expectations can be unclear, and knowing where you will perform at your best and be compensated fairly is difficult to assess. The only element that can make this process even more intimidating is if you are applying for your very first job. Carlos Duno, President of Marcia Owen Associates, a permanent and temporary staffing agency located here in Santa Fe, and I have come up with tips for first-time job applicants to get through the process and find the perfect job.

Create your Resume. Creating a resume can be daunting, especially if you don’t have...

As if leaving college wasn’t hard enough, entering the real world and applying for your first “real” job can be just as challenging. To make matters worse, the lack of young professionals in Santa Fe deters many recent graduates from even applying in the City Different. Carlos Duno, President of Marcia Owen Associates, a permanent and temporary staffing agency located here in Santa Fe, and I have come up with tips for recent graduates to get through the job application process, and reasons why even you may want to stay and watch your career grow here.

First and foremost, Mr. Duno maintains...

This week we are going to feel powerful forces as the Mars Pluto opposition builds towards the showdown on Friday. Politically, the March 4 primaries may reveal the Democratic presidential nominee while the candidates continue to fight it out. Personally, we may come face to face with an issue that requires us to finish it once and for all or transform and heal it. There is no compromise.

This is an excellent week to focus upon equality and human rights or perhaps your own rights. Standing up and making our voices heard for a cause we believe in is important whether in our personal...

This month Hal Wingo delves into the world of mind-body connection and alternative health care with Dr. Larry Dossey, New York Times best-selling author, world traveling lecturer, and consultant. Hal joins our staff of monthly columnists after a career as editor of Life and People magazines.

In his March column, Dick Stolley examines why the Santa Fe River is a dry river bed and a proposal by the Santa Fe Watershed Association to bring it back to life. Dick is founding managing editor of People Magazine, author, and award-winning reporter and editor for Life magazine.

There comes a time in the life of every city—usually when it is at a critical cross-roads, when its future is at stake—when it has to decide which other city it doesn’t want to be.

That was true for Portland, Oregon in the early 1970s.

It’s true for Santa Fe now.

Back in the 1970s I was an assistant to the young mayor of Portland who had run for office on a campaign that said, “Ours is a city with much to cherish, much to save, and too much to lose to remain idle.” In fact, Portland was at an inflection point. San Francisco to the south was established as a sophisticated city; Seattle to...

Soon we will leave February behind but we get one extra day on Friday the 29th. This is a Leap Year. We add an extra day every four years to compensate for the fact that a year is actually around 365 and ¼ days long.

It is our first entire month with Pluto in Capricorn, which brings a need for major changes in systems of government as well as in the structure of our individual lives. Also a concentration of Aquarius energy builds as we prepare to step into March. Aquarius wants reform and is not satisfied with the status quo. We have an opportunity to explore options and come up with...

The first part of this week ushers in lots of new energy and we begin to feel change in the air. Mercury turns and moves direct on Monday. This is a great way to start the work week! Communication and travel can proceed now with less mishaps or misunderstandings.

The Sun leaves Aquarius, the air sign through which it has been traveling since January 20th. We start the week in the sign of Pisces. This water sign is one of great sensitivity and can inspire compassion and spirituality or artistic expression. Also on Monday the waxing Moon moves into dramatic and expressive Leo. A...
