Bells Ringing. Mercury Retrograde. Eclipse on Horizon.

Two weeks ago, I quoted Linda Goodman describing her ultimate Gemini friend, who started an answering service in the 1950s and became the subject of the Broadway musical and film Bells are Ringing.

The business is called “Susanserphone.” In many ways this play and movie were way ahead of their times.

Thursday at 3:37 pm EDT, the Sun enters the mutable air sign Gemini.

However, the last time I checked Australia has fewer snow plows.
