This Week on Planet Waves FM
Your Election Special Edition of Planet Waves FM

Dear Friend and Reader:

As promised, tonight I have a special extended edition of Planet Waves FM. I included an extra hour in case you need that much more relief from cable or network news the next day or so.

Planet Waves
In tonight's program [play episode here], I have lots of music for you, a look ahead at the astrology of Election Day and up to mid-January, a look at the USA Sibly chart, a review of this wild ride we've been on, and much more.

In the last hour of the program, I hang out with Jon McCarthy, CFO and artist in residence here at Planet Waves [the advertising segment is included with the program and also has its own player, right below the regular show].

Starting from the idea of social narratives, we contemplate how advertising impacts culture, and how it's used politically.

I play two segments of a talk by Amherst College Prof. Sut Jhally, founder of the Media Education Foundation.

His theory is that advertising drives all of the most important narratives of our society, and that by driving consumerism, it's also driving environmental destruction.

The documentary these segments come from is called Advertising and the End of the World. We will be back soon with more from Jhally.

Then Jon and I listen to a series of political ads, some local, others national, and one of the most famous in history, and assess them using the 'cultural narrative' approach. Thanks to Amy Elliott and Lizanne Webb for selecting ads, and Amy for choosing the segments from Advertising and the End.

Thank you to our customers, subscribers and members and my clients, who make this program possible.

As mentioned elsewhere, I'll be available much of tomorrow into the evening on my personal Facebook page. We're also hosting a discussion on the Planet Waves main page.

Vote early and often!

2016-17 Scorpio Birthday Reading
Last Chance for Best Price; Scorpio Audio Available!
Listen to a short sample of your 2016-17 reading here.
Dear Friend and Reader:

This weekend, Eric published the two audio segments of your 2016-17 Scorpio Birthday Reading. This means that when you place your order, you now get instant access to the audio portions.

Planet Waves
Your video tarot reading is still yet to come, and we'll email purchasers as soon as it is ready.

If you have not yet ordered the Scorpio reading, do not wait until the video tarot portion is ready, because you'll miss out on some sweet savings.

This is your last chance to purchase the Scorpio reading at the lowest price we offer -- $19.97. This price will only stay in effect through late Nov. 8, and then it will increase. That's tomorrow.

Now, do you know what your secret superpower is? I'll bet you have at least a clue.

What Eric can tell you in your 2016-17 Scorpio Birthday Reading is not only how to use that super-power for good, but also how to use obstacles, questions and difficult emotions in creative, positive ways to stay focused and motivated like never before.

As of yesterday evening, the Sun is at the midpoint of your sign -- a powerful degree of the zodiac, associated with the Aries Point as well as the middle of this season. Make intentional contact with that energy, and you could harness some deep inner strengths.
"A devoted follower of your work since 2008, and a supporting member now for more than a year, I feel your readings are spot on so I keep coming back."
-- Lesley (ScorpioX3)
This reading is designed to work for anyone with a Scorpio Sun, Moon or rising sign -- and it makes an incredible gift for any Scorpio loved ones whose loyalty and insight you appreciate.

Yours & truly,

Amanda Painter
Planet Waves Astrology Editor

P.S. You can listen to a short complimentary sample here of your Scorpio reading for the coming year, prior to purchasing.

It's Already Been an Interesting Week
As the election looms, and with so much at stake, it's not exactly surprising that tensions are running high just now. As Eric notes: in the tradition of the Planet Waves psychic storm shelter, we're a place you can come for some community love and a spot by the fire if things get weird or stressful.
Planet Waves
Michael Moore On Democracy Now!
Michael Moore has released a surprise new film about Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton titled Michael Moore in TrumpLand. On Friday, Democracy Now! sat down with the Academy Award-winning filmmaker and talked about how he moved from supporting Bernie Sanders to now supporting Hillary Clinton.
Planet Waves
Where are the strong, and who are the trusted?
In this week's edition, the last one before Tuesday's election, Eric Francis looks at our tendency to elevate political leaders to Superman-like status, and where that stems from. He reminds us that the personal is political; how you relate to your parents, partners, children and the rest of the world matters.
Planet Waves
Look Under the Lid, Let Out the Surprise
If you have any puzzles, mysteries or proposals on your plate, you should be in the perfect frame of mind to dig deep. But what if that puzzle or mystery has to do with certain of your beliefs, and prompts an emotional release? Amanda Painter considers Mercury in aspect to Pluto, plus Venus contacting Chiron and Uranus.
Planet Waves
Time Out of Time
This week started off with a change to civil time-keeping in the U.S., a first quarter Moon and the beginning of a special time of year. As Len Wallick explains, this will probably require you to make adjustments, and almost certainly will enhance your power to create, by actively changing the rhythms of your life.
