Dear Friends & Family,
Here's a link to the March
Below you'll find our picks for the week at hand. If you haven't attended one of our CATALYST First Thursdays! yet at Zest, put on your dancing shoes and head downtown. There's room to dance, room to talk, and the crowd is always very, very interesting. Plus your $5 entry goes to a good cause. Hope to see you there.

Mercury--messenger, communicator, negotiator, traveler and trickster extraordinaire--continues to dominate the routines of daily life this week. We're at the midpoint of the first Mercury Retrograde phase of 2013, which began on February 23 and ends on March 17. While Mercury Retrograde always spells "trouble" with a capital "T" in all areas related to travel and communication, this retrograde hasn't been nearly as devilish as previous phases. What's more, this week and next, you might come to love (okay--a slight exaggeration) the precision of this retrograde, given Mercury's positive relationship to both Saturn and Pluto, a planetary combination that tethers this otherwise irascible retrograde signature to practical matters, as it simultaneously encourages a detailed exploration of the deep.
