Culture Documents
Our “A-Team Angels” poured their “mana” (life-force) into every page and I know you’ll feel the
love and intention behind every graphic and word.
Because at Astrology Hub, we believe our lives will be more harmonious and our world will be a
better place, when we undergo one fundamental shift…
And that shift is a re-alignment with Nature… the Nature of the cosmos and her rhythmic tides,
the Nature of our daily, monthly and yearly cycles, and the true, Essential Nature of ourselves.
We believe that our modern culture’s misalignment with Nature is a major contributor to the
challenges we see in our world today...
And that Astrology is a rich and eloquent translator of Nature’s messages for us all!
So... it is my hope that you use our 2018, Luni-Solar Planning Calendar as a tool for working with
the cosmic rhythms all year long…
And that it enables a graceful and joyful journey back to Nature... and its reflection in YOU.
ENJOY!
With Love,
