News from Eric

Friday night, my beloved canine friend of 12 years left this world, naturally, without narcotics or medical intervention. Jonah Kelly Francis and I were together nearly all the time from the day I adopted him at age 5. Our dear friend Henrietta Saint Francis left this world in October 2021. Today, on Day of the Dead, I am standing up for both of them together.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) — If there is conflict in your life, do not be so quick to trust it. By trust, I mean take it seriously, or assume that it’s valid. It’s likely, and close to certain, that any strife is coming from a source other than what seems obvious. So begin with some healthy skepticism and then based on that, try not to get too involved, or to act on any “hunches”.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) — If it seems like you can never get a handle on your relationships, you’re invited to ask yourself what that is telling you. One implied message is to work with change rather than against it. This change is likely to include the growth that others experience that you can neither control nor influence.

Lord knows we have enough to worry about. Many people with the longest list struggle just to get through the day — one day. They don’t face the week or the month or the quarter or the fiscal year.
They wonder how they’re going to make it through the morning. And the rest of us are pretty stretched.

Scorpio- — The challenge this week comes down to one question, really: what are you trying to say? Therefore, when you do say something, perhaps don’t be so declarative about it.
