Dear Fellow Human:<\/p>\n

It often seems like everything sucks these days.<\/p>\n

The economy is sagging and the bailout was really $9 trillion — and all those rich guys got bonuses while millions are getting laid off. Washington is about as productive as a hijacked airplane. We were told thousands of lies about Sept. 11 and two fraudulent wars continue, despite missions accomplished. Look around you. Most people are exhausted, even if they\u2019re \u2018succeeding.\u2019<\/p>\n

It seems like the ones who are able to get anything done pursued their dreams years or decades ago, and now it seems like there\u2019s nothing left. Then there\u2019s relationships. The cheating rate is 40% to 80% and everyone clings to the idea of marriage and monogamy. People are being elected to Congress on a platform of cutting health care, while every new chemical adds to the brew of every other chemical that causes cancer and many other diseases.<\/p>\n

It’s a challenge to sleep through the night and maybe you’ve considered anxiety meds.<\/p>\n

And then some moron Senate candidate in Delaware doesn’t think anyone should masturbate or have sex — and as a reward she made the front page of The New York Times<\/em> this week!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re asking, \u201cWhy the f**k should I care?\u201d nobody would blame you \u2014 as long, of course, as you\u2019re ready to hear an answer. True, a lot of people don\u2019t give a damn and many have buried their heads in the sand.<\/p>\n

Maybe the answer to that question is, none of that matters. That\u2019s right \u2014 you shouldn\u2019t care, about all the cynicism. You came to the Earth to live your life. You were born. You have choices, and if you see what they are, and you know what\u2019s important to you, you can use your options and get your life to a better place. You happened to be born into this era, and we\u2019re here to offer you a place to be yourself.<\/p>\n

When you join Planet Waves, you get into a conversation with other people who care. People who care about themselves, who care about the world, and who care about you. People who care about the future and the future of their kids. People who know what you\u2019re going through, and who will support what you want.<\/p>\n

You get me writing for you and to you, interpreting the aspects and the world and this complex thing known as human. I\u2019m not an expert in astrology; I\u2019m a student who\u2019s been at it for a while and who looks at every chart and every event, and each week\u2019s interpretation for your sign with fresh eyes. I\u2019ve recruited some hot writers and artists, and they\u2019re here to help and offer inspiration as well.<\/p>\n

Sign up for Planet Waves and get some support. Get some community around you. Stop feeling so alone and make the choice to take ownership of your life \u2014 or at least, to dare.<\/p>\n

Yours & truly,
