The Daily News on Earth is reflected in the Heavens above, like a Sky Mirror
The Daily Mercury is an experimental blog to make news more intriguing and fascinating.
The stories and news in the Daily newspapers tend to reflect the planetary alignments in the sky; this blog takes you a bit beyond your daily horoscope, to entertain you further.
This blog post briefly analyzes and explains the news from an astrological perspective, and how it correlates with the Celestial observations.
I think this is the way ‘News’ will evolve in the 21st Century; once Humanity sees itself as a part of the Universe, not separate from it, then we will evolve.
It makes the news far more interesting and life a lot more fun seeing it in this way.
Newspapers used to have titles like “The Daily Mercury” or the “The Mercury Flyer” because there were recognized similarities between the events on Earth when compared to Celestial Observations. This was the origin of Almanacs of the past, and also the Horoscope columns of today.
This blog reignites that historical recognition and link for your perusal and enjoyment. Please subscribe to my newsletter for regular content.
