Susan Miller’s Mobile App for iPhone and Android

MOONLIGHT APP You have heard the buzz on social media about “moon void of course” or a “void moon” (both have the same meaning). You may be curious about whether you should pay attention to when the moon is void of course.

Some days the moon never goes void, other days the moon will go void for a few minutes, and still other days the moon will be void for several hours—possibly for the entire day or, in rare cases, for several days.

Addressing Gender Imbalance Jazz at this Summer Camp While gender imbalance persists across various art forms, the realm of jazz has no...

Taurus Horoscope for July 2022

Your July Horoscope for Taurus You are coming into your own, dear Taurus. You’ve been working hard and doing your best, but the eclipses have kept pulling and poking at you, asking you to adjust to new conditions.
