Dear Friend and Reader:<\/p>\n

I’ve added some extra coverage of the equinox today to the Cosmic Confidential Diary<\/strong><\/a>. Much of it focuses on Eris, a conversation I would like to spark up again because there are three different points about to make conjunctions to Eris in the next week or two — Venus, Mercury and the Sun. This could help us get a new sense of what this planet is about. For those curious, go to the Planet Waves homepage<\/strong><\/a> and you’ll see a short book I wrote on the subject, which you can download for free.<\/p>\n

There is an interesting discussion below about the international flavor (or lack thereof) of Planet Waves and I would encurage all readers from outside the United States to read these perspectives<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The question is: is Planet Waves too focused on the United States and what can we do about it? There is an invitation to people outside the States, particularly in the Southern Hemisphere, to contribute writing and photography.<\/p>\n

We’ve begun posting articles on tomorrow’s vote in the U.S. House of Representatives (our lower house) on the health care issue, which our country has been dragged through for a solid year, and which has divided our political system viciously. These are collecting below this post (which is sticking to the top, so new posts are all below this one). Len Wallick just called me and reminded me that we are experiencing Sun opposite Saturn, which I have not mentioned (but I’ve been watching). Sun-Saturn + equinox are encouraging signs that the right outcome will happen.<\/p>\n

Those from other countries or regions of the world can contribute to the conversation by describing their experience of health care in their country. Is the Canadian system really that good? How about the famous total-care system in England? Would anybody have to declare bankruptcy because they got sick in Europe, or would that be scandalous, as one Swiss official said?<\/p>\n

One conversation is going — connected to the chart for the House of Representatives posting its revisions to the law to the Internet<\/strong><\/a> on Thursday afternoon, starting a particular deadline in motion.<\/p>\n
