Or go to program on Planet Waves FM.
Note, in the program I state variously that the Mars-Saturn aspect is Monday or Tuesday — it was Monday morning just past 7 am EDT. — efc
This is going to be an historic week no matter how you look at it: either Congress and Pres. Obama will yield to public pressure and not begin a bombing campaign against Syria, or they will ignore public pressure and do so anyway.
For many reasons, this is a week to pay attention — Mars is square Saturn first thing Monday morning, setting off many planets in the charts of both Pres. Obama and of Syria. Mercury enters Libra, and over the next few days passes through the territory in Libra where Mars will be retrograde next year. In this edition I cover the ethical issues as well as the astrology. I covered this last week in an article that I’ve released to the public, called How You Can Tell Syria is a Scam.
The Sun passes through the Pholus/Ixion opposite Chaos aspect. These are all slow-moving points that will mean a lot more to mainstream astrology in the future than they do today — kind of how Pluto was treated in 1950. It was barely a factor, when today we know it’s one of the most important. The opposition of these three points is extremely tight right now, and the Sun passes through Tuesday and into Wednesday — tipping the balance one way or the other.
Meanwhile, if you can stand watching TV — which will actually be interesting — expect a lot more of this: “The White House chief of staff, Denis R. McDonough, said Sunday that the American people’s skepticism about the prospect of military action in Syria was ‘understandable’ after a decade of war in Iraq and Afghanistan, but that such a strike would be far different from those wars.”
Special thanks to Mark Brooks for tonight’s intro music and musical break. For those interested in Faithless, the CD No Roots is available here. I picked this up off the counter at a record store in London when I was staying at Jonathan Cainer’s place — and made one of the most beautiful musical discoveries of my life.
Thank you so much for that extra link of the Coxing on the Grandmother Land – that is just the best sound I have heard in a long, long time! It is so cleansing to listen to it…..I love water and the sound of water and have not had so many opportunities in the last few years to be around it as much as my soul needs to be around it. A million thanks to you for posting that here!
Yes, I love Faithless. Was introduced to them by an ex, many years ago – which made this track so painful when he left me, such a great track about heartache, still one of my favs:

I echo Bette’s thoughts. Thank you Eric.
Yes, this will be an interesting week. The “news” makes my stomach turn, as the increasingly graphic “authenticated” videos are rolled out. One can almost feel the desperation, hear the hysteria between the lines as the warmongers lobby for public sympathy.
Thank-you, Eric, for your thorough & diligent work on this issue. I haven’t listened yet to this broadcast, but will do so shortly. I think I’m still recovering from having just watched the evening “news” on CBC.
