This Week on Planet Waves FM
The Elements of Worldly and Spiritual Strength
Dear Friend and Listener:
It's often been said that when the student is ready, the teacher arrives -- and in that spirit, I'm here to introduce you to Kasia Urbaniak. A former dominatrix who was once paid $64,000 for a ten-minute session (her job while putting herself and her sister through university), Kasia now teaches women's empowerment workshops.
Not the precious kind. Not the socially appropriate kind. Not the political kind, or the politically correct kind.
Rather, she takes women through a process that addresses the elements of actual worldly and spiritual strength: being in your body and your voice, speaking your truth, standing boldly in your sexuality, taking command of money, and understanding the strength of your motivations and focused intention.
Tonight's edition of Planet Waves FM [play episode here] is a double-header, wherein two full segments are devoted to a conversation I had with Kasia last night. That segment begins at 1 hour and 40 minutes if you want to skip right to it.
Before we get there, I look at the current astrology, including three inner planets changing signs, and Friday's Full Moon in Sagittarius. That ties into the political event of the season: James Comey, who was recently fired as director of the FBI, will be testifying before congress Thursday morning, one day ahead of the Full Moon -- and that says impact.
I look at two other news events: Kathy Griffin holding up an effigy of the bloody head of Donald Trump, which I take as an invocation of Kali; and the recent attack in London, which I look at in terms of figure and background.

The Galactic Core is rising in that chart, and what we have is the problem of something so wide, you can't get around it -- and something that's now so pervasive, it promises to disappear.
Our musical accompaniment on this adventure is Bob Dylan, who recently turned 76 years old, and who just this week released his lecture for the Nobel Prize for Literature.
Tonight, we meet Bob in his incarnation as rocker, experiencing some fantastic live moments; and as English professor, talking about the literary influences that shaped him as a lyricist. I've selected the portion where he talks about Moby Dick by Herman Melville.
Selections are from his older work, though with some ripping live performances, and two selections from the film Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid.

Dear Friend and Reader:
Your INVOLUTION video readings are recorded and ready; these cover the astrology from late spring through midsummer 2017. The year so far has been nothing short of shocking; as in, on an almost daily basis -- and I see things coming to a peak of some sort with the Aug. 21 eclipse in just three months.
|
Go figure! A reading where you actually can understand what the astrologer is talking about. This preview is from the Taurus video. See video samples here for each of the signs. |
We have a free video preview of all 12 signs, and you can read a written preview (really, a reading) in the links right at the bottom of this letter.
Also, the readings are now available as audio-only, so you can listen offline, or get them into a device and play them while you're out of the house.
The astrology between now and the eclipse will affect every single one of us, albeit in slightly different ways. And so I've recorded the INVOLUTION readings from the perspective that while you obviously want to know how it affects you personally, it will also be helpful to you to know how those around you are experiencing it.
You may order all 12 signs here, or individual signs here.
I'm one of a very few astrologers who can do a reading without the natal chart data, using both ancient techniques and new ones that I've developed over the years. My clients are, sincerely, amazed at how helpful and personally applicable these readings so dependably are.
To give you a sense of where I've gone with these 12 video readings, I've prepared an individual written preview page for each one. You can read all of them at the links below:
ARIES Preview | TAURUS Preview | GEMINI Preview | CANCER Preview | LEO Preview
VIRGO Preview | LIBRA Preview | SCORPIO Preview | SAGITTARIUS Preview
CAPRICORN Preview | AQUARIUS Preview | PISCES Preview
One of the most helpful things in this reading is my first interpretation of the Great American Eclipse of August 21, 2017 -- which will streak across the entire United States from coast to coast. That eclipse will change life as we know it in the United States, and you'll want to have your surfboard positioned correctly when the wave comes in.
I'll have more in the full video readings, which are ready now. To get all 12 signs of INVOLUTION at a fantastic discount, please use this link -- you may share the readings with your family.
To purchase individual signs of INVOLUTION, please use this link.
Thank you for your business and for trusting me as your astrologer.
with love,
P.S. Here's more early feedback from INVOLUTION customers:
"I feel less alone in this universe from listening/viewing the reading."
-- Eileen
"Thank you Eric, So much depth to incorporate on so many levels! These past 10 years have brought more change and more insight into my life than I ever imagined was possible. I loved when you said that we might re-discover ourselves repeatedly. SO TRUE. The revelations about family issues, ties and generational connections are profound, to say the least. Thank you for addressing all these deep, personal, sometimes wrenching situations. I too wish to express my love and gratitude for the guidance and intensely personal gift you've given us."
-- Barb
"So deeply helpful and encouraging Eric; confirms my experiences recently and over the past 10 years. I'm so curious about what the 8/21 eclipse will bring/reveal. Saturn in Sagittarius moving to Capricorn this December marks my second Saturn return. I am at a very significant time in my life. Thanks so much for your care and guidance."
-- Lisa

This Week on Planet Waves
Dharma 101
We begin this week with three planets on the move that represent some of our most palpable facets of personality. Broadly speaking, this is a reminder to notice what's shifting -- particularly within you, or as a reaction to your immediate environment. Yet as Amanda Painter writes, it's how things are shifting that really matters.
Watching the Wheels
As Eric points out in Thursday's edition, what we think of as news coverage gives no hint how to process the material spiritually, or how to respond any other way. We're confronted, ongoing, by a global crisis that we cannot ignore, but that for many reasons, we must put aside. Instead, we must attend to our inner state.
Mars, Venus and Learning to Trust Yourself
It can be incredibly difficult to trust the universe. Perhaps that's because when we say, "trust the universe," what we often mean is, "trust myself." Amanda Painter looks at aspects Mars and Venus are making, and sees opportunities for you to experiment creatively, integrate tension and practice healing your self-trust.
Imagination and Action
Most people can see the world as it is. A smaller (but growing) number can imagine the world as it could be. The truly exceptional go a step further into action. As Len Wallick reads the skies, this is your week to be among those who transcend any perceptions of separation to live as one, even during eventful and divisive times.
Democracy Now! Pick of the Week
Twelve people were arrested in London after three attackers killed seven people and injured 48 more on Saturday night. The three attackers were shot dead by police. It's the third terror attack in the U.K. in three months. British Prime Minister Theresa May has vowed a sweeping review of counterterrorism strategy.
Environmental Masculinity
As cartoonist Jen Sorensen explains, for decades the Right has tried to brand environmentalism as "effeminate" and weak. What if we re-branded it as "masculine"?
