In this week's Planet Waves FM, I continue exploring the national situation in the United States, including the pending impeachment and the personal astrology of Pres. Trump.
As for tonight's extended program — extended mostly by music — I describe in some detail the astrology of the imminent presidential impeachment. With a little help from Mark Zuckerberg (not a lot, just a little), I put us on the map of virtual reality/augmented reality and consider the impact on what we're about to experience.
In tonight's edition of Planet Waves FM, I read the equinox chart, and harken the end of Jupiter square Neptune and the beginning of Saturn conjunct Pluto.
In tonight's edition of Planet Waves FM, I focus on Chiron in Aries and the question of self-actualization. What is it? Where did it go, and how do I get in on the action?
Tonight's edition of Planet Waves FM explores the significance of the Virgo train making an opposition to Neptune, one planet at a time.
Tonight's program visits the Woodstock Festival many times. We hear from Swami Satchidananda, Ravi Shankar, Max Yasgur, and many others who were there. I describe how Virgo astrology, especially Pluto in Virgo, was the dominant force of the 1960s and how this relates to the festival — which was, of course, a kind of once-in-forever World Heritage event.
Tonight's Planet Waves FM looks at the current astrology: Jupiter stationing direct, with Jupiter square Neptune, and Thursday's Aquarius Full Moon.
Tonight's program started as a Jerry Garcia tribute (on the occasion of the 77th anniversary of his birth), and grew from there. So there's lots of music, as well as my comment on the El Paso shooting, current astrology, Garcia's chart and musical style, and Tantra Studio.
Tonight's edition of Planet Waves FM begins with Mercury Direct and the New Moon. From there I tell the story behind my Moon landing article last week. I then talk about “invisible environments,” which I covered recently in a piece I wrote on Medium.com. The program concludes with an unusual edition of of Tantra Studio that explores the idea and the experience of compersion — “the opposite of jealousy.”
Tonight's special edition of Planet Waves FM is a meditation for the lunar eclipse on Tuesday. This is a new-style program — something I've never done before, some new art for our new moment. It lasts 45 minutes, and is designed to facilitate your spiritual process, calm your nerves, and open up some new subject matter.
On tonight's program, I take a thorough look not just at the astrology but its implications. I review eclipses on the Cancer/Cap axis back to 2009 or so, and look at the current setup, with the lunar eclipse on the 16th being conjunct the Saturn-Pluto conjunction. Then I describe what I'm calling the Anger Management Mercury Retrograde.
Here is a short letter introducing tonight's intriguing edition of Planet Waves FM. First, later in the program, my guest is a man named Mitch Horowitz, an author and presenter on the subject of the metaphysical and the history of the occult.
Tonight's edition of Planet Waves FM focuses on the Mars transit that engages this week — Mars on the North Node, opposite Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn. I've been going on forever about this; after watching my new edition of Planet Waves TV, someone wrote to me and said, “I'm finally getting the scale of this transit.”
Tonight's Planet Waves FM is ready. I take two different looks at the Gemini New Moon, exact Monday morning at 6:02 am ET. One look involves the New Moon opposite two deep space points; the other takes up the Magdalena aspect of things.
The new edition of Planet Waves FM is ready. I continue coverage of the Mars transit, look at the Vesta-Eris conjunction, and track a few other events ahead of next week's Gemini New Moon.
