New edition on its way to subscribers

New edition of Planet Waves is on its way to subscribers.

It can be easy to think of world events — and especially the often-distasteful events of politics — as separate from us. But one of the messages the current astrology keeps repeating to us is that we are part of the same story, and we can’t wait for the poets to tell it in hindsight for us. That nagging thing about yourself you still have not resolved? It’s part of ‘the news’ right now, and the cosmos is saying, ‘figure out how to connect the dots’.

  1. Thanks dear Eric for your usual generosity and wisdom. Love this: “Psyche’s message: heal your trust issues first. What you think of as being about relationships is, on a deeper level, about trust”. Found some time today to re-read and re-listen to first part of my 2012 horoscope.Amazing – like re-reading a well-loved book where you don’t spot certain things until you’re further down the line….xxx

  2. i think all of these headlines from today fall in the category of “where we intersect with the world” in one way or another. think about them for a moment:

    Greece: Police Fire Tear Gas as Protesters Blame Gov’t for Retiree’s Suicide

    In Greece, protests continued for a second day after a retired pharmacist shot and killed himself near the Parliament building after writing a note that blamed his suicide on the economic crisis. Police fired tear gas and flash grenades at protesters in Syntagma Square Thursday near the site of the suicide. Under the tree where Dimitris Christoulas shot himself, many people left messages saying the government’s harsh austerity policies were to blame for his death.

    Radioactive Water Leaks from Japan’s Fukushima Plant

    In news from Japan, about 12 metric-tons of radioactive water have leaked from the stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, possibly flowing into the Pacific Ocean. Officials say a leak was found in a pipe early Thursday and has since been plugged. The incident follows a series of other reported leaks at the Fukushima facility, which was damaged following a massive earthquake last year. Meanwhile, researchers at Dartmouth College say they have found radioactive iodine in New Hampshire that is a direct result of the Fukushima disaster.

    U.N. Commissioner Calls for Probe of Trayvon Martin Killing

    The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay, has called for an immediate investigation into the circumstances surrounding the killing of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. Pillay said she was shocked the gunman, George Zimmerman, was not arrested. She also expressed concern about Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law, which allows the use of deadly force in situations where there is a belief of a threat.

    Coke, Pepsi Leave Koch-Funded ALEC

    Soda giants Coca-Cola and Pepsi have both dropped their memberships in the corporate-funded American Legislative Exchange Council, or ALEC. Coca-Cola’s announcement came hours after ColorOfChange.org launched an online drive calling on Coke to stop underwriting the ALEC agenda on voter ID laws in several states. ALEC has also been criticized in recent weeks for its support of so-called “Stand Your Ground” gun legislation.

    CIA Whistleblower Charged Under Espionage Act

    CIA veteran John Kiriakou has become the sixth whistleblower charged by the Obama administration under the Espionage Act. That’s more than all past administrations combined. In 2007, Kiriakou gave an on-camera interview to ABC News in which he disclosed that accused al-Qaeda operative Abu Zubaydah was “waterboarded” and that waterboarding was torture. Kiriakou was one of the first CIA officers to label waterboarding as torture. He is also accused of leaking classified information to reporters. This is part of his 2007 interview with ABC’s Brian Ross.

    John Kiriakou: “At the time, I felt that waterboarding was something that we needed to do. And as time has passed, and as September 11th has moved farther and farther back into history, I think I’ve changed my mind. And I think that waterboarding is probably something that we shouldn’t be in the business of doing.”

    Brian Ross: “Why do you say that now?”

    John Kiriakou: “Because we’re Americans, and we’re better than that.”
