OSCAR CAINER

Friday the 13th is supposed to be unlucky in some cultures. Since astrology is often put into the same category as superstition, some people may be surprised that i give this notion short shrift. But calendars were created by power-wielders, whereas astrologers study the natural world, the movement of the planets and the nature of humankind. Luck works in mysterious ways, especially now, with Jupiter traversing Scorpio. and, as Mercury opposes Uranus this weekend, we may be in for a surprise.
