Dear Friends and Readers:<\/p>\n

There is a need for a good, basic astrology website, and I want to provide that need to the community. The writing exists, amidst the thousands of articles I’ve published in the past 15 years. For Planet Waves, the missing piece is a devoted editing team who is capable and willing, topic by topic, to find the information and bring it to the surface, where it can be crafted into a new content stream.<\/p>\n

I would love nothing more than to pause and do this, however I am blessed with the responsibility of creating new content on a continuing basis. What I can provide is a vision and a framework for the project. I can help teach certain skills, to people who have the basics of research and compilation. Let’s put together a small volunteer team that works together to create this project.<\/p>\n

To be suited for this work, you need to be the patient, thorough type of reader: the kind who reads anything with a pen in your hand. You need to be the kind of person that pauses to decide whether you want to go out or do something focused and productive. You need to be modestly to highly organized. You need to be the kind of person who persists through challenges. You need a good computer and continuous access to the Internet. You need to be willing to stick with the project for the long run. It will take time to get your bearings.<\/p>\n

And you’ll need a good sense of intuition because that’s what it takes to navigate my sprawling body of work.<\/p>\n

The rewards of a job well done will be tremendous — to the community, to the online astrology tradition, and to help build a platform that a new generation of my astrology writing will be based on. In the process, you will learn a lot about astrology, and prepare your mind to learn more.<\/p>\n

For those who have ever said they wish they could study astrology directly with me, here is your chance.<\/p>\n

Please drop me a note at dreams-at-planetwaves.net if you’re interested.<\/p>\n

With love from Eris, and the Moon conjunct my natal Mercury —<\/p>\n
