Tonight we have an incredible edition of Planet Waves FM for you. The main event is an interview with Robert Howard, who served as a juror in the first case involving Roundup to go to trial. That was in Aug 2018; Lee Johnson was the former groundskeeper at a California school who had to use Roundup regularly, and got very sick from exposure.
Tonight's edition of Planet Waves FM covers Mars on the cardinal cross — an exciting mini-era of astrology that begins this week and lasts through June.
Arthur Joseph Kushner, one of my teachers of yore, once said, “The shape of the shadows reveals the shape of what's hidden.” That's the theme of tonight's Planet Waves FM.
Tonight's Planet Waves FM looks at Monday's chart for Sun conjunct Uranus in Taurus — the first of seven annual conjunctions. Then I spend the next 90 minutes reading from, and commenting on, the report of the Special Counsel on the antics of Donald Trump and Russia.
Tonight's Planet Waves FM looks at the forthcoming Full Moon in Libra, which takes place across the very last degrees of the Aries/Libra axis. I think this is a potential release point from the Sun passing through the Saturn/Pluto/Eris configuration this week. I also look at the astrology of Julian Assange's arrest, and look forward to the gradual peeling back of the Mueller report, part of which is due out this week.
Tonight's program is mostly devoted to an interview, with a woman named Tchiya Amet. Back in 1984, she was friends with Neil deGrasse Tyson in graduate school at the University of Texas at Austin.
Tonight's program is all astrology. My focus is Tuesday's conjunction of Mercury and Neptune — the third in the series. (The first was Feb. 19 and the second was March 24.) This is part of the extended Mercury-Neptune conjunction associated with the end of the recent Mercury retrograde.
What does the Mueller report really say? All we have so far is a summary of the report by Attorney General William Barr, who personally determined that Trump did not obstruct justice. Tonight's edition of Planet Waves FM covers Mercury stationing direct conjunct Neptune, and looks in detail at what we know about the Mueller report so far — reported live, as it happened.
Tonight's program explores some extraordinary astrology — the forthcoming Aries equinox and Libra Full Moon, simultaneous with a weeks-long conjunction of Mercury and Neptune. The latter event is associated with the end of Mercury retrograde, which takes place on March 28, though this is an unusual one, due to the Neptune conjunction (covered in writing in tonight's edition for subscribers — check your inbox).
Tonight's Planet Waves FM homes in on our extraordinary week of astrology — Mercury stationing retrograde, Uranus entering Taurus, and a very unusual Pisces New Moon conjunct Vesta and Neptune.
Tonight's Planet Waves FM marks my return from a short break and the beginning of a new season. Our new program looks at the current astrology in Aries, Capricorn and Pisces, long- and short-term. In recent years I've been studying the impact of digital technology on the human condition, and give my most extensive presentation yet.
Tonight's Planet Waves FM takes a placid look at our edgy moment. To everyone's great relief, I omit the news entirely, and focus on the astrology: Monday's Aquarius New Moon, the Imbolc cross-quarter (and beginning of the Year of the Pig), and the unusual conditions of Venus and Mars.
Overnight tonight is a total eclipse of the Moon in Leo, at 12:16 am EST. In tonight's edition of Planet Waves FM, I describe some of the features of that eclipse. I also look at the chart of Martin Luther King, Jr. Finally, in the third segment, Tantra Studio is an analysis of this satirical article in The Onion. When we consider why something is funny (or is supposed to be), we get a look at the underlying message of the joke.
In tonight's Planet Waves FM, I have something for you that may be rare to find: a few hours of peace and sanity.
Tonight's Planet Waves FM first looks at Saturday's eclipse in Capricorn. That this event happens during an absurd government shutdown is troubling, particularly when the president has claimed it may last months or even years. No matter how you may feel about “immigration,” it's not like there's some immediate threat from Mexican and Central American refugees.
