With four of the traditional planets changing sign this week and all aspecting Neptune, we’ve been experiencing a potentially edgy atmosphere both personally and politically. Some of the dissonance will dissipate after this week, yet the aspects are still calling for awareness. Using an analogy to musical theory, Eric guides us through listening to this extended Neptunian song — as well as the tune called by Wednesday’s Presidential debate. That one may modulate in fascinating ways with the change in astrology by the time debate number two rolls around.

Thank you for the adjectives, Eric. I have been off line in the woods for the past 36 hours and could not respond before now. Compelling.
And as Len added, both are so fear based. I think that clarifying our reactions (our adjectives ) and then realizing the real energy is fear, one (or two) will better be able to sort things out and find the balance, if balance is desired.

Loved all the articles but I was especially intrigued by Listening to the Planets, which allowed me to experience the aspects in a visceral rather than an intellectual way for the first time. Do you have the musical correspondences for any of the other major or minor aspects? Thanks so much.

Yes, wonderful piece and loved the photos. Thank you Eric.
Eric: Good call on the adjectives for unstable yang. Interesting what it has in common with the yin. Perhaps a fear of loss. Almost certainly fear as you have described it today. It is especially interesting when one considers that all yin and yang need are each other. Fascination compounded when one considers that there is no real basis for the fear that either yin or yang will be unavailable to the other. Yes, there is rise and fall, ebb and flow, but, as surely as the seasons turn, the basis of fear is steadily assuaged in between the points of balance. Great piece today.
I dinnint get mine!!! I dinnint!!! Wail!! Sob!!! Stomp, stomp!!!! Where is it????!!!?? Wah!!!!! Throw self on floor and kick. Double wah!!! Tears, boogers, etc., etc., etc.
controlling…aggressive…thoughtless…insensitive…
Eric, thank you.
I personally am not feeling all so unstable as un-directed. With Saturn and Merc transiting onto my IC at zero Scorpio and then onto natal Jupiter at 1, TN at 2 and natal Neptune at 4 (among many other points being immediately aspected, not the least of which is natal Sun at 2 PI)….well…… it’s definitely not the kind of “wild ride” I’ve felt from other recent transits, but more of a feeling of “seeking”. I thank you for giving definition to some of this feeling of a void.
I also appreciate your take on the first debate, it struck me solidly while viewing that neither candidate was speaking to the points that need addressing, and it appeared to be one man attempting to stick to the classic program-for-which-we-have-been-trained, while the other belittled/made fun of us all by utilizing his skills as a bully. Your note regarding Eris was helpful in understanding.
Thanks as well for the pix from WA. I’ve been feeling a pull back to that part of our country for awhile now so the pix are refreshing to say the least.

Hi Eric, thanks for a great subscriber’s edition. One question: I noticed you used 4 adjectives to describe unstable yin, I am wondering what adjectives you would use to describe out of balance yang? Thanks.
