The New Planet Waves, Coming Monday

In the great tradition of providing astrology services for people who can understand whole sentences and think whole thoughts, introducing the next generation of Planet Waves. Absolutely no A.I. whatsoever.

Dear Friend and Reader:

Beginning some time Monday, we are happy to introduce a new edition of Planet Waves, heroically saving websites (and astrology) from becoming obsolete. Planet Waves has always been known for our ability to write a decent paragraph — but this time we’ve wildly outdone ourselves.

The new website will be available on Monday; it can take some time for the new location to propagate, but hopefully not too long. We will send an announcement as soon as we point the name server to the new location.

Daily Astrology on Page One

Nearly two years in planning, design and construction, our new website will bring everything Planet Waves to one place, and feature a new daily astrology column called For the Faithful. These short daily essays will appear at the top of the mobile edition, while visitors to the web edition will be greeted by a photo gallery with For the Faithful below the gallery.

Everything All Together. Zero Percent A.I.

You will find your current horoscopes, past horoscopes, astrology news articles, Starcast, Planet Waves TV, and Planet Waves FM, plus all of your products and readings, all together on one website. The Intelligent Archive and Oracle will be right there, with 26 years of horoscopes available and searchable.

This was not easy. Two previous development teams tried and failed — and it took an elf in the mystical Colorado hills to get it right.

While this is a modern astrology website that will work on any device and (most significantly) accept any form of payment*, we have followed a Web 1.0 ethos, making it both useful and beautiful. Below are some new features you can look forward to.

*Contact us about payment via crypto. That is not integrated yet, but we accept it.

Enhanced My Account Page

Your new My Account page will include every post, including each Starcast and Planet Waves TV, plus every horoscope and article.

Email Login

Yes once you’ve set up your account on the new website, you will not need to use a password to log in. Passwords are so passé.

Many Payment Methods Accepted

We have added Apple Pay and Google Pay, in addition to credit card, Stripe and PayPal. If you write to me first, you can pay using BTC, ETH or USDC.

Enhanced Gift Giving

You will be able to purchase specific gifts or offer a gift card to friends and loved ones.

Opening Up the Back Catalog to Everyone

We are opening up our full back catalog of 3,000 articles and horoscopes to the public without requiring registration. They will be findable using our enhanced search tool.

Daily Essays: For the Faithful

Astrology is a daily thing, and I’m the most excited about returning to daily writing. This will appear on the front of the web edition and will be the first thing you see when you visit Planet Waves on a phone.

Enhanced Horoscope Presentation

Each sign now gets its own page, with your sign description and a scroll of horoscopes going back to early 2026. Products relevant to your sign will be right there. If you want to search or research older horoscopes, use the Intelligent Archive and Oracle tool. This allows both detailed search by key words and dates, or a random horoscope selector (The Oracle). No A.I. involved.

Each Starcast and Planet Waves FM Gets its Own Page

Yes each will get its own page for easier finding, referencing and sharing. New editions will go on the cover; past editions will go in the Media section.

Planet Waves TV Right on the Cover

Finally, Planet Waves TV will go right on the front page, and past editions will collect in the Media section.

OK that’s what I’ve got for you today. It’s become quite a news day and I need to get back to the rim.

With love,
