In tonight’s edition of Planet Waves FM, I go over Mars stationing direct, the Sun ingressing Gemini and making a conjunction to Asbolus, and a square to Nessus — a very unusual entry of the Sun into Gemini (explained in greater detail in the Gemini reading preview above).

I cover the Sun’s passage through these minor planets, leading up to the Gemini New Moon square Neptune on May 28.

Then I have an excellent in-studio guest — relationship and organizational coach Blair Glaser. We talk about the theme of leadership and relationships, that is, how it’s necessary to cultivate and apply leadership skills in your intimate partnerships.

One of the themes we cover is how relationships must be given a purpose, whether it’s growth, pleasure, creativity, professional expression — something that provides them with a focus so that neurotic tendencies have less space to slip in.

We also talk about the nature of depression as an opportunity for growth, mood-altering substances, life before Prozac and a bit about polyamory.

In all, it’s an excellent one-hour discussion. This is a rare conversation between two people who have focused their ideas about relationships for many years, and have worked with thousands of people.

My musical guest is Ugrade, whose new CD, called Chemical Imbalance, came out this past Friday.

I think that some of the most socially conscious music is happening in hip-hop, and Upgrade excels at this, telling the story of his struggle with mental illness and how music saved his life.

I am honored to have is work on Planet Waves FM, and he’s agree to be a guest on the program in the near future. Please visit his website, order his amazing CD and give him a shout-out from Planet Waves.
