We are in the balsamic phase of the lunar cycle, a time to wrap up the New Moon agenda, clear your desk and get ready for the new cycle which starts Friday.  Regular readers will recall that in this dark side of the moon we often feel listless or restless, sensing that something new is around the corner, but we don’t know what. Perhaps more restless than listless today, with Moon still in jumpy Gemini.

Interesting to note so many stories involving nuclear power. The subject was anticipated as suggested by yesterday’s Pluto-Sun opposition — and the headlines delivered: Gov.Cuomo of New York aiming to shut down Indian Point (nuclear power plant); fires burning near Los Alamos, NM. Meanwhile, fallout continues in the natural gas industry as a result of Sunday’s NYT article alleging doubt about its financial viability. Look for more headlines involving resources, especially banks, as the day wears on.
