Libra Full Moon and Prop 8 Arguments

Here’s tonight’s edition of Planet Waves FM. I lead the program with our spring membership drive, which I explain here, and which Len Wallick explains in this letter going out to our Big List right now.

It’s simple — I can offer you Planet Waves thanks to our subscribers, and a lot of love and energy from the my co-creators. The funding comes from you — not from advertisers, investors, bailouts or Uncle Louie. In this new, beautiful presentation, I describe my idea of what Planet Waves really is.

I can’t believe I missed the most obvious symbol of all — the Moon is in LIBRA, the sign of justice, for the Proposition 8 arguments that were heard by the Supreme Court today. I read that chart in the context of the arguments over whether states should have the right to ban same-sex couples from getting married.

But first I do the chart on its own, explaining what’s in the background — and what is coming to the foreground. If you would like to see that chart, here it is with Monday’s blog post.

I was mistaken when I introduced the first justice at the beginning of the Supreme Court section — it is Associate Justice Kagan.

Here is Jim Carrey doing his song, Cold Dead Hands, which has gone viral from the site Funny or Die.
