The
new edition of Planet Waves TV [
play video here] covers Monday morning's Cancer New Moon, the grand water trine and kite pattern with Pluto. I also look at the United States Sibly chart, the most widely used chart for July 4, 1776. I look at the question: why is the United States so neurotic? Why do we squander our resources? The answer seems to be that we feel guilty about how we got them.
Build on the beauty and inspirational quality of the New Moon in your sign by getting the
2016-17 Cancer Birthday Reading. Eric will soon record the video section, a Tarot interpretation using the pretty Voyager deck by James Wanless. There's also a brand new Cancer resource page, which we'll keep adding to. Give yourself or that special Cancer in your life some extra love -- purchase the
2016-17 Cancer Birthday Reading today.
NASA's
Juno mission (not to be confused with the asteroid) was launched on Aug. 5, 2011. Its purpose: to study the planet Jupiter more thoroughly than ever before.
Tonight (Monday), at about 11:18 pm EDT, the solar-powered space probe is due to fire its main engine, beginning a 35-minute burn that will place it into orbit around Jupiter.

The mission website describes the purpose of the study:
"Although we have pieced together the basic story of Jupiter's origin, some important questions remain, and Juno's mission is to help us answer them.
"Exactly how early was Jupiter born? Jupiter might have formed at its current orbit, but some evidence also suggests that it could have formed farther from the sun before migrating inward."
In
Planet Waves FM on Tuesday, Eric will examine the launch chart for this intriguing mission, and discuss what is happening as the probe heads for the big planet. Planetary Radio, our fellow Pacifica affiliate station,
covered the Juno mission last week in their show, titled "Countdown to Jupiter."
