Dear Friend and Reader:
As previously mentioned, Cosmic Confidential, the 2010 annual, is in the works through the end of Mercury retrograde and a little beyond. All my experience as an astrologer said: work this out till the eclipse and Mercury station (the same day, Friday the 15th) and give yourself a little room to work the following week if necessary. The result is a project that’s a little later than usual (by about two weeks) but one that we think will be built to last. As an omen of this, we have set up Cosmic Confidential on some heavy-duty dedicated hosting: of the dozens of Planet Waves sites, this is the first one to be hosted on its own very fast server.
For those new to the annual project, it has a different name every year; last year it was called Next World Stories. You get detailed horoscope readings (available individually, or in bulk for all 12 signs) plus many other features, articles and enhancements. You get a REAL astrology reading for your sign that covers the juicy details of existence.
The readings for the individual signs are where I’ve put 90% of my writing energy so far. These are not ‘custom reports’, but rather very detailed Sun-sign readings. Last weekend I wrote a short essay about why I think this is a better way to work. Here is that article. It’s fun and accessible and tells you something about the mystery of how Sun-sign horoscopes are written. This is the question that most Sun-sign writers don’t want to answer: they might say it’s a trade secret, but the truth is, they’re afraid Sun-sign writing is actually not legitimate, just a good way to do business.
While I went on to do many fancy things with astrology, such as research and develop interpretations for many newly discovered planets, I started as a newspaper horoscope writer; the first astrologer who ever spoke to me was a newspaper astrologer; so I have great love and respect for the kind of astrology that most people actually read and know about. It doesn’t help the cause that many ‘proper’ astrologers tell you how ‘general’ Sun-sign horoscopes are; presumably because they’re short, and speak to ‘everyone born under a given sign’. I say, you be the judge of whether the astrology you encounter works for you.
At $19.95, Cosmic Confidential readings are a bargain. My clients pay about 12 times that amount to talk to me for an hour. The more signs you purchase, the less expensive they get. I highly recommend getting at least your Sun sign and your rising sign; and the same for any significant other(s) you might have. The best deal by far is to purchase Cosmic Confidential with Planet Waves Astrology News.
Your ordering options are here. There’s also a video on that link, describing Cosmic Confidential. Meanwhile, I am running a free daily Cosmic Confidential Diary to warm up the stage for the main event.
Have a mellow Sunday and STAY WARM.
lovingly,
