Acknowledgments I am indebted to so many in ways that transcend words, but I will try. Steven Forrest and Paul Bogle, astrology mentors extraordinaire, for the master astrological teachings each has imparted. The confidence these men place in me continues to give me confidence in myself. Holiday Mathis, astrologer, ally, and creative partner whose mega-watt brilliance inspired me to actually write my first book. April Elliot Kent, astrologer extraordinaire, whose years of webmaster, art, and enthusiastic professional support have evolved into a golden friendship. My family: Erika and James Everett, and new niece Ella Rae. My stepdaughters, Hewson, Maggie, and Sarah, and their father and my husband, John Shepherd. All of you open my heart wider. Sun, I love you to the Moon and back. Cherished friends and allies: Fern Feto Spring, Emma Rigge, Claire Skougor, Jonathan Pearl, Grant Jeffers, Jeff Kishner, Jeremy Neal, and Minouche Graglia. And to my early book reviewers who gave me invaluable feedback: Toni Piccinini, Lise Castro, Marian Husband, and Cynthia Tracy. Thank you. Erin Reese, initial editor and creative midwife, for her friendship, unflagging cheerleading, and belief in my work. Finally, gratitude to Venus, the Great Goddess who invisibly inspires all creative acts of love and magic, and all teachers, in body and spirit form. If I know one thing for sure, it’s that we are never alone.
