  • Josh Homme – Mr. Lucky?

    Nick Oliveri says in an interview that Josh Homme was always seen by the desert rock scene as “Mr. Lucky”.

  • Horary Astrology #8

    I decided to take a look at whether a friend is upset with me, because he has not been replying to my messages. The 1st house is me. Leo rises, so my significator is the Sun. I also take the Moon as my co-significator. The Sun is in Aquarius, in detriment, in the 6th house.…
