Dear Friend and Reader:

It is getting difficult to have any hope or optimism these days. We’re living with a sense of being cut off from our potential, from the future and from one another. This need not be. While world conditions and in particular digital conditions have thrown many people into crisis, the greatest opportunities and potential also exist in such times as we are in. In a world of bad news, I have good news for you.

We are living with the infiltrating effects of digital conditions that seem to be overpowering any spiritual influence. We seem to be living in a state of oppression, loss and chaos.

But as Tibetan master Khenpo Rinpoche reminded us, “The dharma remains unchanged.”

There are ordering and organizing principles that exist behind the veil of visible life. They are not merely ideas; they are accessible patterns we can learn from. They provide a sense of innate purpose.

Astrology remembers this. Astrology connects you to the dharma, and your personal expression of it. Are you are doing your best to focus on who you are or why you’re here? Astrology remembers. If you want to tap into your original instructions or commitments, astrology remembers.

I recognize that many people are struggling and need practical information about employment, resources, relationships, family and health. You were born knowing how to handle these things, but you may need to be reminded. Astrology remembers, and I will be translating the planets into plain language for you.

“Eric Francis is a very nice chap — and a clever one too. He writes with a rare combination of passion and insight and his astrological judgments are both shrewd and sensitive.”— Jonathan Cainer, horoscope writer, The Daily Mail and The Daily Mirror and Eric’s old boss and business coach.

Beginning in 1999, the first year of Planet Waves, I’ve created original, extended written astrology readings every year. Many of you have purchased these year after year and have traveled with me as I’ve grown into my ability to read for you in this unusual way.

I’m happy to announce that this tradition will continue with the 28th annual edition of Planet Waves, Inner Light / Inner Peace.

These are book-quality readings, carefully researched, written and edited. I start fresh every year, from a blank page and new charts, and create something that has never existed before. I do the work of translating the astrological patterns into understandable language; that and nothing else is a professional reading.

These readings will keep giving, they work for casual reading or close study. They are organized and will sound many familiar themes from my Planet Waves articles. There will be a resources area provided to facilitate additional inquiry.

Planet Waves annual editions are the only long-form written astrology readings left; any others that may exist are either blurb-length, or assembled from computer databases of one kind or another (and I fear, seemingly inevitable A.I.).

In the world of fast, impersonal and automatic, my readings are created slowly and thoughtfully, paragraph by paragraph, with you in mind. I use the same basic methods as Linda Goodman, Patric Walker, Jonathan Cainer and many Sun-sign writers before me. However, I have developed them to their full capacity.

The rest of this article will answer your questions about Inner Light / Inner Peace.

Here is how to pre-order.

Thank you for your business and your trust.

Your faithful astrolover,

PS — The readings are presented as printable PDFs and are downloadable. The idea there is so that you can take ownership and experience them offline.
