How it is built: articles use Wix Blog comments with moderation switched on — tagging and the approval queue are automatic. Static pages use the contact form, where a required topic dropdown tells Don which part of the site the question came from.
Western tropicalist astrologer with Huber overtones and some Rudhyar influence tossed in. Practical, pragmatic and innovative approaches that focus on personal growth and self-development, including the use of triangular and quadrangular figures created by geometric relationships between planets.
