Dear Friend and Reader,
The Friday edition of Planet Waves Astrology News will be available to subscribers momentarily. And not to brag, because I’ve been working on it all week, but this is a really good edition.
First of all, it features the debut of Genevieve’s weekly horoscope: she’s taking over for Eric for the next few weeks as we finish up Next World Stories, the annual edition that will knock your socks off (or your sandals if you’re somewhere warm).
As our 10th anniversary approaches, we’ve also opened with the first Planet Waves essay ever: “Astrology as the Art of Bullshit,” with a new introduction written by Eric:
As part of our commemoration of the 10th anniversary of Planet Waves, we’re reprinting what I consider to be the first-ever Planet Waves essay. It was written in Munich the spring of 1998, more than six months before PlanetWaves.net went on the air. I was in an email dialog with Brad Blanton, author of Radical Honesty, and he was taking his at times annoying position that astrology is bullshit; that I should give it up and do something real with my life, such as take his classes.
