I begin tonight’s program I survey the culture of cheating that we live in, and take the question back to Chiron in Capricorn and the Enron scandal. I also look at the upcoming Mercury retrograde, and the involvement of Mars in that pattern. And then I go over a grouping of aspects between now and Friday that include Mars opposite Saturn, Vesta conjunct Chiron and Psyche conjunct 1992 QB1. In the third segment I do the chart of Bono and talk about how it is that he became involved with Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois, reading from an interview with Brian and Danny who tell the story in their own words.

I begin tonight’s program a discussion of the Beltane Full Moon, which is Sunday evening (Monday morning in the UK and Europe). Move onto a discussion of man-made vs. natural disasters and how we emphasize the two. In the second half the the program I continue my discussion of the Millennial generation, on the topic of what digital is doing to trust. I also read the natal chart of Brian Eno, and share two of his songs with you.

All Things Taurus, and a Conversation About Masturbation

I begin tonight’s program with a tour of the new Taurus sky, including the planets spanning from Pisces to Leo. But I focus on what's happening in Taurus -- Mercury conjunct Mars and the Sun conjunct 1992 QB1. Then you're in for an adventure -- a conversation between me and Sarah Taylor on the topic of masturbation. You may know her as our weekend tarot reading columnist each Sunday; she's also studying sexological bodywork, which you will hear about. And you'll hear about its emphasis on masturbation. Planet Waves has long advocated exploring self-sexuality as a tool for consciousness-raising, growth, healing and better sex.

Hillary Clinton’s Presidential Announcement, Her Spinning Chart and More on the Digital Environment

Use this link if you're using an Apple mobile device | Download MP3. Or you can click through for additional resources.
I begin tonight's program with a look at the chart of Hillary Clinton announcing her presidential candidacy with the Sun conjunct Eris. It's a chart so interesting it makes me wonder whether she didn't have an astrologer elect the time for her. I also consider the various versions of her chart, and explain why I am using a chart that nobody else seems to use, which has her as Cancer rising. In the second half of the program I continue my discussion of digital conditions and how we are being trained to be stupid by computers. I also wonder out loud about what the digital environment is doing to "digital natives" who don't know much else. Here is the chart for Hillary's announcement as well as the natal chart I'm using. Note that in the program I am using an announcement chart that's 10 minutes later than reality. It does not change the chart much but it does make Bill's Sun's contact with the ascendant a bit less dramatic -- but not much. My musical guest is Sloan Wainwright.
