ASTROLOGY

THE PERFORMANCE ISSUE • A great PERFORMANCE can be TRANSFORMATIVE; the greatest are TRANSCENDENT. But they are often also EXPRESSIONS of something DEEPER: an intense PASSION, a dedicated PRACTICE, an inner STRENGTH, a SENSE of SELF and SPACE. They can MOVE us, INSPIRE us, CHALLENGE us, and fill us with ANGER or JOY. This issue explores the POWER of PERFORMANCE from all those vantage points, as a beacon of CONSCIOUSNESS and CONNECTEDNESS in an age of UNCERTAINTY, of shared BEAUTY, HUMOR, HUMANITY, and GRACE.
