About: Hi, my name is Moira. I've been with Psychic Source for since October 26, 2005. As one of the Astrologers with Psychic Source I will occasionally write about the planetary dance. Dates are especially significant to me and I look to the stars and the interactions of the planets when I am making major decisions. On my first day with Psychic Source, Jupiter, the planet of expansion and good luck entered Scorpio and my eighth house of partnerships. The celestial connections did not disappoint! Psychic Source continues to be a wonderful family and all around great place to BE! When I'm not "on the line" I enjoy a quite life. My husband and I live on a small farmette with our horses, dogs, and cat. Our home is at the end of a long (half mile) lane. One of my passions is gardening and my healing garden includes favorite perennials, herbs, and vegetables. Like many gardeners, I love to cook and I especially enjoy receiving your recipes! Those who know me well would describe me as a book worm. It's true I love to read, anything and everything. Long before I began to use my psychic ability professionally, I read everything I could find about Astrology, higher metaphysics, and history. One of my "Blog goals" is to share insights and book reviews with you from time to time. The Psychic Source Blog is the place to keep in touch and share your ideas. I like to think of Blogging as the virtual Salon; a gathering or an ongoing conversation with the purpose of pleasing and educating. I feel very blessed to have connected with many of you through phone readings and I hope to hear from you via the blog soon!See Authors Posts (15)

Libra is the host/hostess of the Zodiac and they love to entertain!
If you are invited to dinner by a Libra you are in for a treat. Arrive on time; not early! Libra doesn’t need any help and like the magician in the kitchen they love to reveal the dishes to ooohs and aaahhs, which will be plentiful and much deserved. Because Libra favors balance they need two recipes one savory and one sweet. Hug your Libra today and Enjoy!
