I spent most of the day today writing the subscriber issue that goes out at about 10 am ET Friday. I focus on the quarter-Moon chart for Saturday, wherein the Virgo Sun aligns with a grouping of planets in Sagittarius. I’ve been covering this Sagittarius alignment from time to time (in some depth one year ago, at this time). I focus the theme of a spiritual crisis (the Sagittarius placements) that must be answered with reason and intellect (the Virgo placements). The chart describes a culture-wide clash between these two seemingly different levels of reality. I cover the astrology of false religion and end with some startling information about Sun Myung Moon and a cameo appearance by novelist Alexander Chee. The edition includes my extended weekly forecast for all 12 signs, a brief look at the chart for Obama accepting the nomination and your weekend astrology feature.
