“Forget love . . . I’d rather fall in chocolate!”

  While no one owned up to that quote, I say, whychoose? Enjoy both this Valentine’s Day.

On Sunday there will be lots of love and lots of chocolate, and though some may thank Cupid for finding them love, the chocolate fans should be worshipping Hegemone. Hegemone is the Goddess of Plants and is responsible for making sure that plants bloom and bear fruit.

Our twilight skies are in for a big change in the weeks ahead. The brilliant planet Venus makes her debut appearance low in the southwestern sky, right next to Jupiter. Venus is a good deal brighter than Jupiter, and the two will appear side by side for more than a week.
