From New York: STARCAST for Sunday, Aug. 20 — Sun in Virgo, Mercury retrograde, and more.

Dear Friend and Reader:

I’m back home after my engagement as a keynote speaker at a private conference in Koh Samui, Thailand. My 21-hour flight via Singapore ended at JFK Airport, right near where I grew up.

I stopped in Brooklyn on the way home to pay a visit to my spawning ground in Marine Park, the house where I grew up, and that of Aunt Josie, my godmother. These days, I try to get back once a year.

I’ll have more to say about the conference — and offer a recording of my presentation — when Planet Waves FM resumes on Friday. Tonight, I have an astrology update that covers the Sun entering Virgo, Mercury turning retrograde and Mars entering Libra.

With love,
