Practitioners of Falung Gong or Falun Dafa, a spiritual practice originating in China in 1992, meditate together at Trocadero in Paris. The practice was “banned” in China in 1999 after over 10,000 followers silently protested in front of the Chinese Communist Party headquarters. Since then, there have been numerous gruesome reports of organ harvesting, torture and execution of Falun Gong practitioners. It’s common to come across their group meditations in cities around the world. Photo by Danielle Voirin. Prior cover: On a train.
Games of the I Olympiad | By Eric Francis
In Friday’s Daily Astrology and Adventure, Eric writes about the first Olympic Games in Athens: "there are always a bunch of Roman numerals in front of the Olympic games informing which one we’re up to, and I was wondering when the first one happened. Before long, I learned that after a 1,500 year break, the first games opened on April 6, 1896. This seemed like a good chart to give a whirl."
Planet Waves Astrology News | By Eric Francis The Friday edition of Planet Waves Astrology News is now available to subscribers. It is a special Olympic issue, not to be missed, plus there is the weekly horoscope. Since the Games herself is an Aries, here is the Aries weekly horoscope:
If you cannot always do the work you love, then you need to bring love to the work that you do. It's easier than you think. Many of the problems you and your colleagues are facing relate to an approach to life that is fundamentally aggressive and competitive. What seems to have been lacking all along, and is available today, is a measure of emotional intelligence. I suggest you rethink all of the most difficult problems that you've been facing in recent weeks, considering how you would do things in a way that felt right rather than a way that you thought was right; or that seemed necessary. This approach may work at first, then seem to run into some resistance, though I suggest you take this as a sign of potential success. Don't give up. Keep feeling.
