Summer Solstice, and Casey Kasem of American Top 40
Planet Waves FM is presented without commercial interruption, sponsored exclusively by our subscribers and our Core Community members -- that would be you.
In this week's edition of Planet Waves FM, I cover the Cancer ingress of the Sun -- that is, the Northern Solstice. I look at the last days of the Sun in Gemini, Mercury now retrograde in Gemini, and check out the ingress chart. After a music break from The Grateful Dead, I visit with the chart and the career of Casey Kasem, creator of "American Top 40."
Note, during my reading of Kasem’s chart I mention that Venus is the ruler of Gemini — it is if you’re using the esoteric rulers, described by Alice A. Bailey.
There are still a few Planet Waves subscribers who have not experienced The Mars Effect. Well, you have definitely experienced the astrology, but not necessarily the readings that will help you make sense of what has happened the past six months.
Since the year is about half-over, we're making it available for half-price for all 12 signs. If you are a customer of my birthday readings (solar return readings), some differentiation might help. The Mars Effect readings are a distinctly different experience of astrology compared to the solar return readings. In a sense they are my first in-depth observations about the astrology of the signs for the year, which lay the foundation for everything else I do -- the horoscopes, the articles, the birthday readings and the seasonal readings.
These readings are the deepest layers, presented in both extended written and audio format. One great thing about this package is that you can jump from your Sun sign to your rising sign to your Moon sign to partners' signs in one setup. The audio works for any player or computer and is downloadable into iTunes. The music is by Gary Lucas, musical mentor to Jeff Buckley.

Weekly Horoscope for Thursday, June 19, 2014, #1003 | By Eric Francis
Aries (March 20-April 19) -- You're about to experience a moment of clarity that you might experience as transient, or as a subtly disguised opportunity; be alert, and know in advance what you want so that you will have a better chance of recognizing it when you see it. The Sun's ingress into Cancer is your invitation to make this opportunity real. So make space for whatever this is in your home, and invest time and energy into developing it. Pop astrologers of the 1970s were right about one thing: Aries tends to be a strong beginner and not so strong at completing things. Connect your motives and tap into your incentive. Your drive may be coming from the practical side of your nature, the visionary side of your nature, or the rebellious one -- mix and match, whatever it takes. This could be hot.
Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- Help, cooperation, friendship, freedom -- something you want is much closer than you think. It may be so close you're looking right over it. It's a little like the guy who feels like your brother or the woman who feels like your sister, so you don't bother thinking about them as a potential lover. Or it's the thing you just do because you do it, and you don't think about it as a career. It's the thing that feels so normal you don't notice how special it really is. Therefore pay attention to the ordinary, listen for the transcendent wisdom coming from someone you thought was just average, and honor the changing of the season at least three ways. That, too, is an example of the amazing in the everyday -- the main thing being, it's not really every day.
Looking at your life and wondering how half the year went by in such a colorful blur? "Turn the dial on the kaleidoscope of life," as one reader put it, and clarify your view with the MARS EFFECT readings, now available for half price: $39 for all 12 signs. See how the patterns align through the interrelated facets of your life (and the lives of those your hold dear) as you co-create the rest of your year and beyond.
Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- Divide your focus evenly within and without; on your own projects and those of people around you. Look for opportunities to get involved. There's a meeting point between what is distinctly your own and what is something intriguing, exciting or different that someone else is doing. Don't worry, you're not invading or jumping on someone else's train. The entire universe is aching for, and ripe for, collaboration. This will benefit any form of partnership, wherever it lands on the friend/lover spectrum. Another quality you can work with is that of concentrating resources. You have plenty, though it seems to be a bit scattered -- try gathering like with like in one place. Arrange your life in such a way that you get a sense of how much you're working with. Cash in all those pennies and buy a notebook.
Attention, Geminis! Mercury is about to retrograde back into your sign, there's a highly unusual grouping of planets working their way across your relationship angle, and the planet Chaos could feel like a creative stirring -- or more like confusion. Focus your mind and get your bearings on your solar year with your 2014 GEMINI BIRTHDAY READING, available now for $39.95. Also included is a tarot reading, access to the recorded Q&A session with Eric, and more.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- You cannot process your entire reality emotionally. The way you know you're doing that is that you're experiencing things you cannot put into words. Once you can translate something into words you know you've reached the mental plane. Listen to yourself and as you describe something that you're experiencing, using words or images different from what you've used before, you'll be able to assemble your thoughts like the pieces of a puzzle. Notice exactly what those words and images are and soon you will be able to take over designing your life like an engineer creates a bridge, first on paper and then in the physical world. When you do this, you're evoking one of the most relevant spiritual principles in existence, which involves relating both to and from your soul no matter what you are doing.
Hello, Cancers! If Mercury stationing retrograde in your sign has had you feeling a little turned around, consider your 2014 CANCER BIRTHDAY READING to be a proactive, meditative, empathic alternative to hiding in your shell or turning the mood-o-meter up to 11. If you pre-order now for $24.95, you'll get the best possible price on two segments of astrology, a tarot reading, access to a live Q&A session with Eric, and more.
Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- Saturday the Sun changes signs into Cancer and this should help set you free from the idea that you have a lot of options, none of which seem to count for much. In fact, all of your options count, and they count for more if you see them as working together rather than as against one another. The sensation may be like settling an argument with yourself where both sides come out winners. Or you may get to the place where you know you didn't make any sense before, then suddenly you do -- a development that may actually describe slipping into your senses and having the world appear in a more vivid way. I would remind you, personally, that within you is the source of all healing. The conscious and willing focus of intent on something or someone calling out for healing can and often does have an influence that could only be ascribed to a miracle, which in fact it is.
"I thought those readings were meant just for me" is how so many MARS EFFECT customers have felt, it's a testament to just how intimate, beautiful and uncannily personal these written and audio readings truly are. Now you can access all 12 signs for $39 (half price) -- an incredible value for more than a year's worth of insights into all facets of your life, and into the lives of those closest to you.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- Inch by inch you are treading in the direction of some unusual success. This could take many forms, but the most beautiful form it will take is accountability. Grab that stuff with both hands till you've fully embraced the idea that you are entirely and gloriously responsible for your own life. Celebrate the power of decision, even if it's between corn-syrup Coke or Mexican Coke with actual sugar. Choose consciously everything you do, whether you think it's good for you or not. Practice being the master of your destiny -- for several days on end. Get into the feeling. Remind yourself when you wake up every morning, no matter how you may feel. Remember especially when you wake up on the morning of the 22nd.
Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- You may finally be letting go of some residual anger and resentment, but also feeling a sense of loss. All you really need to do is to be conscious of this fact, rather than keeping it stuffed somewhere. The tides of your life will be turning rapidly over the next few days, and it will be vital that you stay focused on the moment you are in, which is another way of saying be present for your own life. Options are likely to open up suddenly and unexpectedly, and if your mind is in any way preoccupied with the past, you will miss what life is offering you. Note that this might be an exit path from any number of situations that you are not happy with. Yet you must take a break from arguing for what is impossible and instead come to an understanding with yourself that in truth anything is possible, if you keep an open mind.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- The Sun's ingress into Cancer this weekend is telling you that it's time to take a wider view of your own life. That probably means figuring out how narrow your perspective may currently be, so that you know where exactly to stretch your boundaries. How many miles do you consider to be a long distance? How many years a long time? What achievement would you define as being truly significant? As part of this review, I suggest you consider your parents' expectations for themselves and notice some of the ways you may have taken them on. To the extent that you're pushing against something or experiencing resistance, you might consider whether you're trying to surpass a limit that was set during your upbringing. This might even stem from the limited worldview of a grandparent that has been passed down the generations. It's time for you to determine the boundaries of your own life. Remember, you live in a wider world than nearly anyone who came before you.

Now you can access all 12 signs for $39 (half price) -- an incredible value for more than a year's worth of insights into all facets of your life, and into the lives of those closest to you.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- Remember the element of chaos in passion. Remember that when you choose to feel, you don't always get to pick which feelings come up. Most of all, remember that long ago you decided you don't want your life to be predictable. Yet this means giving up control, or rather, the illusion of control. You cannot make decisions for other people -- count yourself fortunate that you're aware enough to make some decisions for yourself. Yet ultimately you want to make all of your own decisions, which is the only control you need -- and it's also about the closest you can come to an assurance that life is indeed fair. The other assurance is to keep your promises, and focus on making sure that others keep their promises to you. I suggest you conduct an inventory of unfinished business in this aspect of your life, and strive for full integrity.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- You may find yourself filled with a kind of ambition you have not expressed in a long while, or even dared to let yourself feel. I suggest you do this as the slow, steady burn rather than as some kind of revolt or revolution. Every bit of authority, influence or power you gain must be tempered by devotion to service and remembering that you're accountable for every use of that power. Imagine that everything you say and do is part of the public record -- that you can have no secrets. Imagine that you are responsible not just for everything you say but also for everything you hear, read and see. That may seem intolerable, or like too much pressure. Yet in a sense it's true, and it'll help you because the choices you make will continue to have an impact on other people for quite a while to come.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You must be realistic about money. There are multiple factors saying that you're not necessarily doing that, and other factors that suggest you have significant ability to do so. Success will come from taking a practical approach to the whole subject -- basics like understanding where your money comes from and where it goes. That kind of information is a matter of fact, not of speculation. The deeper level is making sure that you are doing what you understand to be correct, and then working with others who share this same core value. They do exist. There are also people who exist who are pretending to do so, and it's essential that you be able to sort out who is who. The most significant quality to look for in any potential collaborator is a sense of fairness. The other is someone with whom ideas flow easily.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- The Sun enters one of the most dynamic areas of your solar chart over the weekend -- what in astrology is known as the 5th house. This also happens to be your fellow water sign Cancer. Within this mansion of heaven are most of your most passionate dreams of creativity and connecting with others. One key to this house working is to make sure you risk something to get something. A theme of our particular era of history is to risk nothing to get everything. What I suggest you risk is taking initiative (approaching people rather than expecting them to approach you), immersing yourself in pleasures that don't involve a controlled outcome (making music rather than listening to it), and most of all, approaching life with the trust of a child. At the moment you may be the only person you know who wants to live like this. Once you step up to the challenge, you will find others.
