Free Articles Authored by Gary:
The following articles (most recent first) were authored by Gary and were published in Echo, a monthly, regional newspaper about community, the environment, health, cuisine, and spirituality, which is published in Charlottesville, Virginia and is distributed in central Virginia.  They are among the 113 free articles (all but eight of which were previously published in print media) posted on this site that were written by Gary.  He began writing a column for Echo newspaper in mid-1999 (before he created this Web site) and he used the first person so the articles on this site that were originally published in Echo were written in the first person.  Click on the subject index or the chronological index for a list of his articles.  A link to the subject index entitled "Gary’s Published Articles" appears under the woodcut of a printing press in the navigation bar at the top of every page.  The site presently contains 148 pages (this count does not include images or printable pages).

Latest Article Authored by Gary:
Uranus Square Pluto, Parts 1, 2 & 3 explains the significance of the square (90 degree angle) between these two planets, both symbols of dramtic change and disasters.  Gary begins with an explanation of their cycle (which averages 127 years), includes a brief mythological synopsis of their character, gives recent examples of manifestations in world events and U.S. weather, and then launches into a historical perspective to elucidate what we can expect during this square (2011-2018).  All of the previous times the Uranus-Pluto square occurred (1929-1935, 1873-1878, and 1818-1823) were during three of the four worst Depressions this country has endured.  The third part of this page focuses on the T-square formed by transiting Saturn opposing Uranus and squaring Pluto from late April through mid-August and the events that result.  Read this article only if you dare (appeared in the May, June and July 2011 editions of Echo newspaper, which is published in Charlottesville, Virginia).

Other Recent Articles by Gary:
• The 2011 planetary lineups and Uranus entering Aries explains the significance of the lineups of numerous planets in Pisces and then Aries this spring.  Gary also explains what happened during the two previous periods when Uranus was in Aries in order to shed light on what we can expect while it is in that sign during 2011-2017.  Uranus entered Aries on March 11, 2011, the day of the devastating 9.0 earthquake 80 miles off the coast of Sendai, Japan (appeared in the April 2011 edition of Echo newspaper, which is published in Charlottesville, Virginia).
• It's the Same Zodiac as 2,500 Years Ago is in response to the “non-story” that appeared in the media during January 2011.  The “non-story” is the claim by some uninformed astronomers that astrologers ignore the fact that there are more than 12 constellations, especially Ophiuchus, in the band of the sky astrologers define as the zodiac.  Read why they don't know what they are talking about (appeared in the March 2011 edition of Echo newspaper, which is published in Charlottesville, Virginia).
• The Best Election Money Could Buy, the U.S. Saturn Return & Saturn Aspects to the U.S. Chart is an article, in part, about 2010 U.S. election, which has had the worst effect on American politics since the 2000 election (remember that debacle?).  This article compares the 2010 election with previous elections that happened during U.S. Saturn returns.  It also addresses the meaning of current Saturn aspects in the U.S. birth chart (appeared in the December 2010 and January 2011 editions of Echo newspaper, which is published in Charlottesville, Virginia).
