NOTE — THE LIVE EDITION OF PLANET WAVES FM HAS BEEN MOVED TO MONDAY, SEPT. 8 AT 8 PM EDT. Visit this link for more info.
In tonight’s edition, look closely at the relationship between Virgo and Pisces, focused on the Pisces Full Moon that happens on Sept. 8. This includes a discussion of how the Full Moon is conjunct both Chiron and Borasisi. Note, at about 13 minutes, I say “fusion” when I mean “fission.”
For those curious about Borasisi, I tell some interesting stories, and mention an article I wrote about it in early March 2011 that looks at Kurt Vonnegut’s theory of science and religion. I mention a guy named Steve Sandberg, whom I spoke with for a long time last night, a former GE employee. You can read Steve’s story here.
In the second half of the program, I read your commentaries about Virgo as a point of integration. These are some brilliant ideas from Planet Waves subscribers who have apparently been contemplating the Virgo question for a while. I mention Colbert’s presentation at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner — here is that link.
My musical guest is the eminent embodiment of Pisces, Sheila Chandra. Actually, her chart spans the Virgo-Pisces axis in a way that is truly extraordinary. She is the author of a book on the perfect topic for Virgo-Pisces — how to organize your life, called Banish Clutter Forever: How The Toothbrush Principle Will Change Your Life. You can get her CD ABoneCroneDrone here.

You can use fixed stars and constellations in tropical. I keep a few in my repertoire.
Thank you Eric. Yeah one only has so much time, and what you do and offer us with yours, I am amazed what you accomplish in keeping us so engaged. I personally just find the constellations in themselves so rich, and like tarot can read so much in their visual display alone. But there are so many, including the stars it’s a bit overwhelming to contemplate! Through the little reading and study I have managed I also found the reverse house rotation and progression meanings in Sidreal making a bit more sense, to me. But, still interesting in comparing the two. At some point I hope to make more of a through study of this and all those the stars!
Thank you Eric, for I am living with the reality of Autism, I’ve always felt the vaccination was suspect but the experts will not even consider it. There are so much to learn about this disorder… It’s still a mystery to me. Thank you again for touching on it.
I had the similar experience over a decade ago, when I lost my precious baby bird. I had severe throat pain for couple of years, especially when I try to sing, which is my passion.
Love listening to stories…
I am aware of sidereal and in particular my own chart in sidereal, though I don’t feel a special need to integrate it into my public work on a regular basis. It is a tool that is available, and I use it when necessary, when I am called to use it.
The two zodiacs are internal frames of reference. I don’t think that one is correct or more accurate, much like tarot spreads are not inherently better than one another; they each have their use. In the West we are aligned with our tropical charts, and I align my public work with that. Tropical astrology is based on a measure from the Aries Point, and that is something I am, we are, all aligned with.
There is only so much one can do as an astrologer. I invest quite a bit in delineating new points that get next to no airplay in astrology. There is always something new to understand, something new being discovered, so this is not a static process in any way, there are always new events.
Here is a comment on the sidereal horoscope:

Finally had a chance to listen to your podcast Eric. Thank you. This is an Incredible reading of the Pisces Full Moon. Likewise, to this aspect, feeling tons of innate information coming in with the sense of integration towards my energies direction currently. Maybe also feeling due to the fact that in Sidereal terms, ascendant is in Virgo. Just reading your one page lead in to your article on the Sun in Virgo on Friday, made me realize I need to purchase this addition!
With all you have said this evening on the opposition and connected aspects to Mondays Full Moon i feel is speaking directly to me. This opposition is exact conjunct natal Vesta @ 17+ Pisces.
Personally speaking I have a sense that in the years to come there will be a greater awareness of the spiritual energetic connecting physics to new healing developments in earth to do with power. After all, you say that square is to the great void of unconscious information in Gemini currently. Also with the universe’s process in balancing of Male/female energies it is past due the time to give back to our Mother Earth, divinely. Accordingly, through these developments I will bet science will have to reassess some of it’s old hard rules. As you noted, many of these beliefs are generated /corrupted by big greed ..as usual benefiting some of our largest organizations including PG&E the CDC and not to forget the leader the oil companies destroying and raping our earth! With Chiron there this full Moon just maybe another awakener to our feeling and then thinking further along these lines of development, movement and then towards innovation in cooperation with our environment. I am moving in this direction anyway.
BTW have been meaning to inquire, do you also follow Sidereal astrology? Why did you choose to only publish in tropical? Probably know the answer (s), as more widely followed. But still, curious as to your direction of focus, reasoning and choice. I can take my answer offline, if more comfortable for you.
