Dear Friend and Reader,<\/p>\n
Just a quick point in the direction of a TIME article that outlines very clearly and concisely all the major ballot initiatives and their results from the Tuesday vote.<\/p>\n
Click here to read it<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n The editorial team is currently working on the Friday edition which will be available to subscribers of\u0412\u00a0Planet Waves Astrology News<\/strong><\/a>, our weekly edition. Eric wrote a truly uplifting article, reflecting on this week’s history-making election and examining what it means for us as a nation.\u0412<\/p>\n Judith Gayle, who features on this page and predominately on her Planet Waves blog, Political Waves<\/a>, also contributes with her unique and insightful political analysis. Here’s a clip from her Friday article:<\/p>\n This isn’t just a four-year political victory, nor an eight. Not just a changing of the guard, a shifting of political parties. A sobbing friend called on election night to say it was two hundred years coming — I would suggest even longer than that. This was an unprecedented silencing of tribal drums.<\/p>\n The schism that has divided our nation in this latest flurry of culture war was born in the hippie era, the Vietnam days. John McCain ran his campaign on that thread of energy. His buzzwords — socialism, wealth-sharing, terrorist — didn’t find a niche in the majority\u0432\u0402\u2122s consciousness. Those words were potent in the past; but the collective was ready to step into the future. You can literally scare some people to death, but we get tired of having our adrenal glands overloaded eventually. McCain’s rhetoric was about four years too late; we were finally ready for change.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Reality won a big victory but it came to us wrapped in echoes of the past; after such a review, perhaps now we won’t be destined to repeat it. This was an election season of firsts in too many ways to count: a man of color, powerful women, the oldest candidate and more money spent than seems reasonable to a world now eyeing its dwindling resources. It spoke to hope for the future, yet it was woven through with threads from the 60s: not just the 1960s but the 1860s as well.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The weekly horoscope is also included in the Friday edition, and it’s written by Eric. We also send out three monthly horoscopes with unique styles (Planet Waves Monthly, Inner Space and the Eriscope) and a sign-specific birthday report. These are part of our Tuesday editions.<\/p>\n As always, we offer astrology with a journalist’s eye and a sex-positive mindset. Planet Waves is the only place to get this from writers with a penchant — and a skill-set — for all of the above.<\/p>\n An annual subscription costs $7.33\/month. Check out your options here<\/strong><\/a>, and for those of you who are already subscribed — we’ll see you in the morning.<\/p>\n Yours & truly, Dear Friend and Reader, Just a quick point in the direction of a TIME article that outlines very clearly and concisely all the major ballot initiatives and their results from the Tuesday vote.
