Remember, it’s our subscribers who make this daily astrology (and much else) diary possible. If you’ve been coming here for a while and have felt tempted to sign up but have not, for some reason you don’t understand, really feel the fact that we are riding on the graces of others who want to enjoy our best work, and make it possible to share all of our work with the Internet community.

We have a bit of bad news from NASA today. Launch of the carbon-monitoring satellite this morning failed, and the thing landed in the ocean near Antarctica. I am not going to call a conspiracy yet, though I did not like the chart with a launch on a void of course Moon. However, I don’t think the human race wants to know how bad the carbon situationВ  is here on the planet. Meanwhile, these satellites are not cheap to design or build, and now it’s laying in a heap of wreckage. I don’t think we willВ  be seeing another one soon, unless my neighbors finish up the homemade one they are assembling in their garage.
