In this week’s member issue of Planet Waves, Eric examines the world’s manifestations of that hot Aries New Moon we just experienced. Chief among the incidents was the increased volatility of North Korea’s nuclear situation, headed up by Asia’s Atomic Boy Wonder, Kim Jong-Un. Delving into the young dictator’s natal chart, it turns out his planets are highly concentrated in line with the Nuclear Axis. This is the portion of the zodiac running between early Gemini and early Sagittarius that is prominent in the chart for the first successfully self-sustaining nuclear reaction. Refraining from any predictions, this is something worth watching.

Thank you, Eric and team, for another spectacular edition. Eric, your piece on Kim Jong-Un is out of this world.
Yes – I agree with Amanda. And as well as being a great musician, you also write beautifully! I have a similar balancing act to you, dear yeti – but find it helps to remember that it’s ok to feel both – that it’s our resistance to what we’re feeling, the sense that it should be different from how it is, that makes us suffer.
keep balancing, yeti — sounds like you’re doing great!
Hot/cool quincunx? A little of both. As the new moon was tuning in last week I came out as long time solo and poly curious in a group of live humans, most of whom have been practicing a poly life for various lengths of time, including some elders. Sharing music as teacher and performer and sound guy and student, the communities I’m part of here have been leading to instant karma over and over again. My community sometimes plays the Saturn cool, and then the Uranus fire comes my way to agitate my icebergs, or vice versa. I give a lesson in chords and then a more advanced friend gives me a lesson in how to groove with master players. I give a lesson in tuning a PA system (hey man, the reverb is turning my guitar into mud) and get a singing lesson from a sitar an hour later.
Balancing on a tightrope: too much social I stretch too thin. Too much solitude the icebergs creep in on my heart.
In the photo of Portland the bridge described as a freeway bridge looks to a bike/walk/train bridge. There aren’t any freeway bridges under construction here. At least not yet.
