Eric Francis

Planet Waves began in 1998 as the home of the Eric Francis horoscope, a prominent feature in our premium service. Going far beyond what most Sun-sign astrologers even dream is possible, Eric brings in-depth interpretations to his work. He is a pioneer in the newly-discovered planets, including Chiron and the centaurs, and is able to translate their movements into accessible human terms, offering ideas for life, love and work. Discover a whole new world of literary journalism in Planet Waves. We offer free trial subscriptions, discounts for students and seniors, and gift subscriptions for veterans and those on active military duty.

Fingering the will of the people

The House of Representatives earlier today approved a new version of the $700 billion bailout package. The New York Times conveniently gave the exact time as 1:21 pm. The Galactic Core was rising. I guess that’s good. The Moon is in Sagittarius. Mercury is exactly, as in exactly t one-sixth of a degree, on the midheaven — the angle representing government. Retrograde indeed.
