Marie Curie: Scorpio, Radium, and the Element That Killed Her
In a library in Paris, her notebooks sit inside boxes lined with lead.

(...)The Composite 8th House: What a Couple Buries, Shares, and Transforms

What actually binds two people is heavier and less romantic than that: the money tangled up in both names, the things you have... (...)Arthur Conan Doyle: The Gemini Who Was Two Men at Once

Ruled by Mercury, the planet of the mind and the message, Gemini is the part of the zodiac that holds two ideas at once, that talks, questions,... (...)Moon to Moon Synastry: When Two Nervous Systems Try to Share a Home
Two people can agree about everything and still feel wrong in the same room. They have the conversations, share the values, want the same future, and there is still some animal in each of them that refuses to settle. And two other people can bicker... (...)Tina Turner: The Sagittarius Who Walked Out With Nothing and Kept the Fire
