The Personality-Behavior Connection: What Your Traits Can Tell You About Your Actions
Personality traits have long been studied in the field of psychology as predictors of behavior. Researchers as well as practitioners have sought to understand the extent to which a person’s unique combination of traits can be used to predict their behavior in various situations.

A Based Perspective On Astrology
Throughout human history, people have looked to the stars and planets for guidance and meaning. Ancient cultures believed that the position of the celestial bodies had a profound impact on our personality, mood, and everyday life. While modern science may not necessarily support all of these beliefs, there is evidence to suggest that the position of Earth, stars, and planets, as well as the Schumann resonance, can have an impact on our well-being.

The Psychology of Music Composition: Understanding the Creative Process of Making Music
Creativity, a fascinating and intricate topic, has captured the interest of scholars, artists, and the public, and is widely considered as a defining feature of humanity that sets us apart from the animal kingdom. It encompasses the ability to generate original and valuable ideas or products, ranging from artistic expression to scientific discovery and innovative problem-solving. Though the creative process can be unpredictable and involves serendipitous moments, insights, and breakthroughs that are difficult to anticipate, it often results in something beautiful and unique.

The Search for Self
Many people find themselves feeling lost in life, searching for their purpose or identity. It can be a difficult and confusing time, especially in today's fast-paced world where there are so many distractions and conflicting messages about what it means to live a good life. In order to find our true selves, it is important to understand the reasons behind why we feel lost, and to take concrete steps towards self-discovery.

Expect Big Changes, Now
So far, there have been quite a few planetary alignments in 2023 that have affected the collective. We've had retrogrades carry over from 2022 that may have complicated the first few weeks of our year, but it looks like things are quickly turning around now that Venus has entered Pisces!

Introverts vs. Extroverts
There's a lot of talk about introverts and extroverts, whether it be personality tests to find out which one you are, or memes about one of the two being better than the other, or articles about 'how to survive' as an introvert in an extroverted world (or vice versa), etc. And while most, if not all, of it is relevant, I'd like to suggest a slight reframing on how we view these concepts. It might be more helpful, in many ways, to view it in terms of energy.

Why We Are Doomed
Note: these events are true. This was written in 2006, when it all took place, in Brooklyn, NYC. It was a time much further distant than numbers would suggest. Speakeasy, a wi-fi provider, is no more. The DSL connections they sold have likewise gone the way of 8-track tapes and SCSI connections. Sears is down for the count. Agencies and companies were still working out how to migrate their services to the internet. Customer service, such as it was, still entailed labrynthine sets of phone menus, and, occasionally, encounters with surly humans who resented your intrusion. But the underlying themes remain relevant, more so, if that's possible. Enjoy my tale of woe.
