Honored that the latest issue of The Evolving Astrologer – the quarterly magazine of the Organization for Professional Astrology – includes my article, Pluto in Aquarius: Radical Change.

The space between false hope and false hopelessness is a chasm.

When I worked to find adoptive and permanent families for teens in foster care, I’d often hear from other child welfare workers, “You’re giving the kids false hope.”

It was always said as a bad thing, as if carefully involving teens in their own permanency planning was unhelpful, unreasonable, or in some way detrimental to their mental health.
