This Week on Planet Waves FM This is Your Brain on the Internet Dear Friend and Listener: In tonight's edition of Planet Waves FM [play episode here], I consider the question of cohesiveness. Inspired by Donald Trump's performance at Hofstra University last night, I've taken a gander (with the help of Andrew McLuhan) into what all this gibberish is about. My observation is that it's about the internet.
Before I go there, I consider the current astrology -- in particular Mars in Capricorn, and its relationship to Pluto in Capricorn, and Jupiter in Libra. In the second segment I do an analysis of who won the debate and why. If you're the kind of person who likes things to make a little sense and believes that the pages of a book should be numbered, Hillary Clinton won. If none of your thoughts connect and you don't believe in logic, reason or rationality, Donald Trump cleaned up. In the third segment I play my interview with Rosetta Star, one of our friends in Asheville, NC, who recently took a bunch of her friends, her oldest kid and a trailer of equipment up to the protest in Standing Rock. There, 280 Native American tribes are blocking a tar-sands-oil pipeline and are in for the long haul. You may also read Amy Jacobs' coverage here. My musical guest is the magnificent mystic of music, Sheila Chandra. Thanks for your membership support -- thanks for tuning in. Lovingly,

Make the Houses Your Home with Eric's Upcoming Class "Eric is a gifted teacher, fascinating story teller, with an incredible base of both knowledge and experience that draws one in. Combined with patience and a gift for translating subject matter into very understandable terms, the class was great."Learning the houses takes NO technical knowledge: it's all about life. The houses are the easiest, most grounded and most useful element of astrology, describing themes and physical environments.
If you've been feeling like you just can't quite get your chart (or those of others) to sing, chances are that getting acquainted with the houses is the missing piece of the puzzle you've been waiting for. As horoscope maestro Patric Walker said to Jonathan Cainer, who said it to Eric, "It's all in the houses." A passionate teacher can make material come alive, and Eric is truly excited about teaching this class. "Thank you, Eric, for continuing to have these classes! They are wonderful." -- Stacey Katz It's All In the Houses will be held via teleconference Saturday, Oct. 8 from noon EDT to 4 pm EDT. The class will be recorded, so you may be present or listen later. There will be a video preview that explains the basics, which will come out a few days before the class. You may sign up here. If you need a reduced rate, we will gladly help you out -- please write to us at cs@planetwaves.net. Note: if you are a Backstage Pass or Core Community member, you should have received your member discount by email last week -- please get in touch if you need that information again. Open the Door to Your Life with Your Libra Reading Dear Friend and Reader: How do you invoke the 'luck factor' of a Jupiter transit? For starters, you have to be willing to do your part. Think of it like opening the door so that a fresh breeze (or a dear friend) can come in.
Do you need some assistance seeing the doors in your life and knowing the best way to open them? Jupiter in Libra is offering you beautiful potential this year! How will you use it? Are you ready for it? Eric will describe solid ways you can make the most of Jupiter in Libra -- and much more this year -- in your 2016-17 Libra Birthday Reading. In two segments of audio and a video tarot reading, Eric will guide you through the subtle nuances, complex puzzles and in-your-face 'big stuff', motivating you to navigate the next 12 months with grace and chutzpah. Best of all: if you pre-order your Libra Reading for just $19.97 today, you'll lock in the lowest price we offer. Note: Your birthday reading is distinctly different from BALANCE: the Midyear Reading. While that was a 12-sign project focused on paired signs, your birthday reading goes into greater, more focused depth, describing longer-term influences on the Libra experience from several directions. You could pay $100 for a reading elsewhere and not get a fraction of the practical insight offered in Eric's audio-video readings. So go ahead: pre-order your reading, open the door and turn your opportunities into something with lasting value. Yours & truly,  Amanda Painter Planet Waves Astrology Editor  This Week on Planet Waves Note: Last week, both Fe Bongolan and Amanda Moreno wrote their final column for Planet Waves. We will miss them and wish them all the best for the future.
