If you don’t get today’s issue in your email inbox at some point today — and you’ve checked with Chelsea to be sure it’s not an email snafu — why not try becoming a full member of Planet Waves by signing up (subscribing) to our for-pay premium service? You can try it out with a free one-month trial membership here. You can also buy this issue individually here — but that won’t keep our twice-weekly mailings (which include Eric’s horoscopes for all 12 signs and his feature articles) coming to your inbox, like the free trial will.
In this week’s issue, Eric looks ahead to what it means to have Mars interacting with the Uranus-Pluto square, and offers his extended monthly horoscopes for August for all 12 signs. We’ve also included several astro-news briefs, on topics as diverse as how we handle sex in the case of aging people with dementia, the life and astrology of journalist Helen Thomas, ‘ag-gag’ laws and Monsanto’s latest move.
Can’t get over my dear Libra friend’s horoscope either! Valuable help and encouragement for her at a tricky moment of her life.
Another note of definite agreement here – the horoscopes for August seem particularly powerful and deep. The emphasis on Vesta in the Leo reading sure feels right-on right now (and it looks like she’ll be right on my Sun by tomorrow) and reminds me of something I heard Tavis Smiley and Dr. Cornel West speak about last spring: “What’s the depth of your love? What’s the quality of your service?”
Yes, Strawberry! Scorpio moon and rising. I love that bit too – really needed to read those words right now…
Lovely snake story, Imo!
Right, Lizzy? Can you even get over it? Who says things this beautiful: “It’s challenging on Earth with all its complications and obstacles to hold the frequency of one’s original intentions for coming here.”
Or how about : “There is something in the chart — something strong and beautiful — about doing what you do for its own sake, rather than for some other common motive” (I believe we’re both Scorpio moon?)
I’ve read these a dozen times & haven’t begun to take them in fully.
Loved your piece on Mars meeting the Uranus-Pluto Square. Happy to provide a visual.
My housemate and I have kept tabs on an albino corn snake who calls her garden home.
She took a picture on Valentines’ Day of it curled up like a heart. Today, with the Mars opposition exact, the snake left us its’ shedded skin. Death and rebirth of the outer skin. Reincarnation of the home base. Not sure how to post pictures here, but will send two– “Before and After” in an email to Chelsea.
“personally relevant, spiritually rich, and life-changingly empowering and encouraging advice” _ I couldn’t have put it better, dear Strawberry (perhaps cos we have the same sign!). Thank you so much Eric, all of you.
Truly. Eric is always good. He’s always really, really good. But this is so much more than a horoscope. You can search a long time (and I have!) before you’ll find such personally relevant, spiritually rich, and life-changingly empowering and encouraging advice anywhere–much less in a sun sign horoscope. There’s meat here to feed the soul. Well done, Eric & team & thank you for the gift of your art.
i agree, len — they’re pretty damn good, to put it mildly.

Eric: Thank you for the most artfully crafted, insightful, and passionately convincing horoscopes i’ve ever seen. Just can’t get over the sheer power of the messages.
