Cultivating Virtues with Rob Brezny: Aboard the Mystic Traveller: September 13, 2016
One of the tools I use is Rob Brezney's Freewill astrology that comes out every Tuesday. I like it because its useful and down to earth and not too hocus pocus.
You can sign up here at Freewillastrology.com. Its fun and its free.
Today this came in and I find it helpful to focus on strenghts and virtues and not, as we are trained to do in the West, the crazy behavior.
This is Rob's post today and virtues I'm trying to cultivate, both on tour and beyond.
