Beck Lawrence, tarot reader and owner of The Serpent's Key in Hanover, York County, USA is suing the borough police chief over a 163-year-old law. This law places a ban on tarot reading, which Lawrence claims infringes on First Amendment rights.

In October 2023, Lawrence received an email stating that the Hanover Borough police chief would be coming to the shop. Accordig to Lawrence, "He was going to stop by or send one of his officers by in order to inform me that tarot reading was illegal in Pennsylvania due to a statute that dates back to 1861".

Lawrence has drafted a 19 page lawsuit through her lawyer and she says, "We are suing the chief of police of Hanover in his official capacity, as well as the Hanover borough". Lawrence also clarified they are pursuing the lawsuit not only to keep the shop but to continue fighting for marginalised communities adding that, "I'm willing to take this fight up to the Supreme Court if I have to."

CBS Pittsburgh invited the creator of Pittsburgh Astrology, Sadie Hamm to talk about zodiac signs. In the process, Hamm takes a closer look the hosts' signs. One of the show's hosts confesses that she believes there's a lot of truth to astrology.

Jupiter in Gemini forms a sextile with Chiron in Aries on October 12. A sextile is a harmonious aspect that occurs when planets sync up in compatible zodiac signs. Astrologer Aliza Kelly says, "With these two celestial bodies bonded, the aspect supports healing through communication, curiosity, and a willingness to explore new ideas".

According to Kelly, "The upcoming sextile offers a unique opportunity for healing through communication, curiosity, and self-expression. Jupiter in Gemini encourages us to expand our minds, seek new information, and embrace diverse perspectives, while Chiron in Aries focuses on healing through courage, individuality, and personal empowerment."

This story dates back to February of 1974, but was recently covered by the Delta Optimist of Canada. According to the details, a University of British Columbia mathematics professor at the time, Dr. Walter Szetela wrote a letter to the Delta School Board highly critical of an astrology class offered in the night school education programme, saying it had no relevance in the modern school education system.

Mrs. L Chapman, who taught the course, responded by saying there was a definite need for the study of planets. She claimed that, “It is a subject that attempts to expand human consciousness beyond purely the material”. Chapman was also critical of Szetela’s complaint, saying he didn’t know anything about astrology but was saying “All kinds of things about it.” Chapman also said that it had been “Statistically proven” that there were a greater number of robberies, violent crimes, upheavals and burst of madness during the full moon than in other periods, for example.

The director of the Delta Adult Night School Education Programme at the time, Armin Kutzner said the district was offering the astrology class, among over 100 other classes, due to public request. It is not known if any changes were made in response to Dr. Szetela's letter.

USA Today covers the life and times of American astrologer, writer, teacher and lecturer Bernie Ashman. He is reported to have written eleven books and has contributed much to his field, including training and working on astrology related software.

Ashman published his first book, 'Astrological Games People Play', with ACS Publications in 1987, promptly starting his authorial career. The publisher's chief editor, Maritha Pottenger, oversaw Ashman's first two publications. Ashman's success further picked up after publishing 'Road Map to Your Future' and 'Sign Mates', which, like his other texts, are translated into Chinese, Spanish, French, Russian and Romanian.

Ashman also works on computer programmes dealing with astrology, such as creating models for contemporary applications like "The Past Life Chart." His content has been instrumental in the creation of programmes like "Simpáticos" and "Birth Chart Report and the Prediction Report." He believes that these applications help people change how they see their previous lifetimes.

The New York Post interviewed astrologer Iryna Wood, who shared her seven tips for maximising the energy of fall. Wood tells The Post, “Fall marks the transition from the active energy of summer to the restful energy of winter. For me, fall symbolises transformation - a bridge to reflect on past achievements and set new goals. As the year winds down, embrace the changes this season brings - it's the perfect way to recharge, refocus and set yourself up for a peaceful, balanced winter.

Wood's seven autumn recommendations are:

  1. Write down your wins and take your losses on the chin.
  2. Find balance.
  3. Declutter your life.
  4. Relish the sunshine.
  5. Ground yourself in nature.
  6. Be mindful of major astrological shifts.
  7. Prioritise self-love.

Jessica Vilchis of NBC Los Angeles interviewed Courtney Cunningham, a certified healer about the basics of crystals and harnessing their energy. Cunningham provides an explanation of the healing effect of crystals and how to find a suitable one.
