New Edition on its Way to Subscribers

New edition of Planet Waves is on its way to subscribers.

Another full-to-bursting premium subscriber issue of Planet Waves is being sent out now. Eric gives his read on what just happened with that much-anticipated Mercury station retrograde on Election Day, in all its power, glory and surprise (both the subtle and the striking). All of it is feeding into a total solar eclipse on Tuesday — the first in Scorpio since 1995. That event looks to be an intense portal into all things Scorpionic (especially the sexual), and the horoscopes in this issue give some insight and guidance for each of the 12 signs (did you know you can read Eric’s horoscopes for your rising sign, too?).

For instant access to this complete issue, which includes a full selection of astro-news briefs, please use this link for single-issue purchase. Or sign up for a one-month free trial subscription here, and keep Planet Waves at your fingertips beyond the end of Mercury’s retrograde.

  1. “To do so, you will need to stay awake, stay with your feelings and know that self-criticism is the problem and not the solution”. Self-criticism is the problem not the solution. YES!! Thank you Eric. And thank you (all), for this wonderful, powerful edition – which I haven’t had time to finish as yet. The astrology writing matches this powerful, transformational time. Neptune moving forward has unlocked a door for me. Have a good weekend! (mines another working one…).

  3. Thank you Carrie. That made me smile! I am new to posting but at least now I know what a cyber hug feels like! : )

  4. The fiscal cliff is an illusion, and of course most of our financial deficits were accrued during republican administrations. History has demonstrated the best way for the gummint to get out of a fiscal hole is to spend it’s way out of it. Taxing the wealthy is part two of the plan, let’s bring the top tax rates back to where they were under Ike, since folks want to go back to the good old days. I think Willard should be paying 90% on his earnings, not less than me.

    The real question, as Eric has repeatedly asked is- “who is running the show?”

    With all that said, it feels clear that something shifted the other day. Mercury is a trickster, his retrograde is a time to go back and review what you think is happening, and if what you think is happening doesn’t match reality, well, reality has it’s liberal bias.

  5. I don’t think it is a 1950s attitude at all. What I think is that a lot of women are raped and then have had the child and they are very very angry for the rest of their lives. Look around you, you probably know several, no – make that a lot, of people who were conceived during rape. Maybe it was a drunk husband or crazy boyfriend, but it is rape. I know a lot of boys who were raped, but they don’t get pregnant. No, they grow up to be crazy. Sanctity of life is not that difficult a concept, and it is important to a lot of us. If the morning after pill had been around for the last century, a lot of women may have had different lives with a lot less unresolved anger – but a later abortion taking the little life and having to live with the killing? It isn’t that easy! You can call it a blob of cells all you want, when you are pregnant, you know you are carrying life and the natural tendency is to protect it, not kill it. The morning after pill would let you bypass the step of finding out you are pregnant.

    And, maybe thinking you are better than black people in general is some sort of last ray of hope for yourself, if you haven’t done anything meaningful with your life. You know? Even poor white trash could look down on black people at one time, but now you see black people helping poor whites more and more. I followed a young black woman under a train tunnel in our dowtown area and watched her give money to an old white beggar on the street. I felt no inclination to help the beggar at all – just anger that he wasted his life. He looked like my generation. He looked JUST LIKE a lot of worthless scumbags I went to school with. I’m glad this election is over. The things I fear most at my stage of life have more to do with the economy, medicare and social security. We’ve all but destroyed all three. My brother in a nursing home has already been refused certain medications (no longer covered by medicare). What other surprises are coming? Search on the OMB sequester files -it is fairly scary. I’ve read that 11 national parks could lose funding. I’d rather have the national parks than the dept of education – but that’s just me. I’d rather have the dept of energy than Planned Parenthood. Shouldn’t need them anymore anyway, now that everyone gets basic health insurance. I’m very uneasy about the future and I pray for the President to make the best decisions possible.

  6. Alison,

    My name isn’t Alison; that was a cyber hug for you. My name is Carrie but I go by carecare7.

    So when you see {{{Name}}} that’s a hug for the person named in the brackets.

  7. Alison, Your description fits pretty well with my experience with some, no many, folks in recent months. I feel like I am in mourning and I am taking the loss, not willing to be around those that are racist, are against women’s rights, have the “I am better because I am caucasian” attitude, etc. My husband describes it as “the folks that have been drinking way too much of the Fox News Kool-Aid.”

    So I ask myself, what do I do about those relationships now? How do I deal knowing how they really feel? And what do I do recognizing how I really feel about them? Not much breathing room for me so I choose to go another direction. I doubt they would even begin to understand my reasons. To me that is the sad part.

  8. Thanks Huffy, for your acknowledgment. And thank you Alison, for sharing your family story. Sending good thoughts to you both.
    What has been difficult for me is seeing this animosity in people I genuinely enjoy being around. And I admit, I had my share of really pissed off days too.
    It was just so odd – like all my personal relationships suddenly time-warped back to the 1950s, but we were acting it out on a 2012 stage.

  9. Alison, I am sorry this happened to you.

    Merc Rx affected my relationship with my brother but not out of political issues. Merc is retro in my 3rd house of siblings; I only have the one left and because of our narcissistic mother he and I have not been close. He is the favorite. Last Saturday, while Merc was in shadow, I posted something on my FB that alluded to the fact that he has no idea who I am and sees me as an extension of our mother (which is typical in families with an NPD type parent). He saw it and e-mailed me to say he would be calling me the next day which was Sunday. He won’t even call me on my birthday but he wanted to call me over an FB post because it is all about keeping up appearances. He never called but the next day (Monday) I got an e-mail saying he wanted to set up a call that day after 2 PM. Instead of just acquiescing (which I usually do) I wrote him back and said that if it is about the FB post, he can stop getting my posts on his feed and I told him how to do that (it didn’t involve unfriending). I got no response but the next day (Merc Rx day) I realized he had unfriended me.

    I feel no pain about it because he and I are so different in our outlook on life; he is all about outward appearances and having lots of money and ignoring the family dysfunctin whereas I am the opposite of those. We have not had any real conversations since he became an adult.

    All I really have left are my father (whose care I am in charge of but I don’t really like him as a person) and my grandmother (who is 98, not trusting me because of my mother, and lives across the country from me). Both are religious Republicans and neither has any idea how liberal I really am. I stopped contact with my NPD trait mother last year. I am an orphan in the emotional sense of the word. This severing of the relationship from my brother was inevitable; I knew it would happen one day so it is not surprising.

  10. Gosh, I really feel for you, Alison. That’s such a tough thing to be confronted with, but so necessary to realize it too, sounds like you’re really coming in to your own.

  11. Sorry to switch the conversation to a more somber note!
    Continuing with the theme of Lets Not Do That Again – My thoughts are with everyone whose personal and family relationships have changed as a result of this election season. Because mine did.
    Who knew my brother was such a Rush Limbaugh fan? Or that my dad was such a big proponent of voter restriction? Who knew my step mom felt comfortable making jokes about black people? Or that my boyfriend chooses to classify the movement to restrict abortion as “liberal bullshit?” Who knew my boyfriends parents would feel comfortable getting in my face, literally, when I talked about climate change?
    The list goes on and on. Where do you find your place, and how do you articulate it, in the face of such aggression? This election brought out hate and anger at levels that are still incomphrehensible to me. At least, that was my daily experience of it.

    It is not just people Washington who have to reconsider their roles and relationships to one another. Its individuals, and families, who have to pick up the pieces somehow. Len’s article – the 1864 Election, couldn’t have been more appropriate.

  17. OMG the link is too long and it’s going all over. Please PW cancel my comment!

    Huffy: just type ‘take that mitches’ on google and you’ll find it. 😉

  19. “The singer triumphed with her ‘Take that Mitches’ placard”. Forgive me Eric, PWers, for posting this here (though it’s not off topic..). But can anyone help me? I have to translate this phrase into Italian – and I don’t know what the hell ‘Mitches means’ (please help, someone!).
