The 2024 edition of Tortuga Music Festival took off at Fort Lauderdale Beach Park on Friday in an atmosphere that came close to perfect, with blue skies, mid-70s temps and sunny dispositions all around. Priscilla Block was sassy, Boyz II Men crooned, Warren Zeiders rocked and the evening crowd was surprisingly manageable. Another surprise: Ashley McBryde’s secret set on a small stage outside a Jersey Mike’s booth. She did a half-dozen songs and signed a few autographs. The 100 or so fans that caught her were giddy. Something to look out for as Tortuga continues on Saturday and Sunday.
General Daily Insight for March 31, 2024
For once, it’s almost easy to say what we mean and mean what we say. The Moon in freewheeling Sagittarius trines scarred Chiron in Aries, followed by a lunar square to Venus in Pisces, making it hard to keep a lid on our feelings. Our hearts are bare as emotional Luna trines Mercury, also in Aries, at 6:54 pm EDT. We’re practically commanded to say exactly what we feel before our feelings get lost in Luna’s final square to mystical Neptune.

General Daily Insight for February 06, 2024
Fantasy is likely to give way to focus at any moment. The Moon, shaking off a square to dreamy Neptune, moves into grounded Capricorn at 7:08 am EST, pushing us toward a serious attitude. As Luna sextiles practical Saturn, we’re equipped to find a comfortable balance between meeting our emotional needs and honoring the limits of reality. The Moon then trines fortunate Jupiter, so we’ll probably get back, at minimum, as much as we put in — if not a bit more!

Taylor Swift shocked fans Sunday night when she announced a new album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” during an acceptance speech after winning best pop vocal album at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards.
For months, Swifties everywhere had been anticipating Swift announcing the release of her re-recording of “reputation (Taylor’s Version),” thinking the Grammys might have been the night it happened.

General Daily Insight for February 04, 2024
Finding the right balance between work and play could be a challenge at present. The nourishing Moon enters buoyant Sagittarius at 1:28 am EST, lifting our moods. While it supports potent Pluto, pursuing even seemingly shallow pleasures may bring rewarding insights. Still, when Luna goes on to provoke bitter Saturn, we might fear that doing what feels good potentially takes us too far away from our established responsibilities and commitments. Looking at the big picture should clarify which diversions we’re able to afford.

General Daily Insight for January 28, 2024
We may be dependent on one another for change. With balanced Venus working together well with consistent Saturn at 1:01 am EST, we can work hand in hand with someone else — as long as we dedicate our energy to keeping our promises. Communicative Mercury then cooperates with innovative Uranus, heightening our minds to think outside the box and stimulating our senses. Finally, Venus encourages auspicious Jupiter, bringing good vibes, lucky happenstances, and fresh opportunities to expand our horizons. Let’s lift each other up!

General Daily Insight for January 27, 2024
Pride can cause us to cling to the past. The proud Sun squares off with optimistic Jupiter, which can provide us with some lucky opportunities, but our egos might thwart our triumphs. Soon after, innovative Uranus finally leaves the retrograde shift, which has lasted since August 28, at 2:35 am EST. We’ll remember that we can accept changes in ourselves and our cultures. Communicative Mercury then conjoins ambitious Mars, increasing everyone’s energy — but also making us more irritable and impulsive. Let go of bravado.

General Daily Insight for January 24, 2024
We’re evolving into wiser people. The intuitive Moon works together with innovative Uranus in order to provide us with an exciting and spontaneous energy. This cosmic fuel boosts us to invent unique connections and ways of moving toward the future, rather than remaining stagnant. The Moon then receives a second, even stronger wave of spiritual support from dreamy Neptune at 5:58 pm EST, enhancing our intuition, creativity, and compassion for others. Let’s see what our best selves look like in the moment.

General Daily Insight for January 23, 2024
Discipline versus impulsiveness: this is today’s fight. Fair Venus moves into serious Capricorn at 3:50 am EST, invoking solemn efforts to even out our connections with others and our finances. The sensitive Moon also coordinates with open-minded Jupiter, bringing lucky vibes and more easy-going sensibilities. Later on, the Moon snaps at both thoughtful Mercury and driven Mars, setting off an impulsive energy within that can get us in trouble if we act on it too quickly. Do the right thing, not the rushed thing.

General Daily Insight for January 21, 2024
Our feelings might come crashing in like a tidal wave. The emotional Moon is wrestling with intellectual Mercury, so if we’re not careful, our emotions may overwhelm our ability to think. Luna then grumbles at fiery Mars. Powerful feelings could overload our self-control and ambition in a similar manner! Luckily, we get a break when the Moon works together with wounded healer Chiron at 2:04 pm EST to rein our souls back in. Our second thoughts should be more grounded than our first impulses.
