In tonight's edition of Planet Waves FM, I pay tribute to blues master B.B. King. We get to hear some of his music and I read his chart, which is a study in Virgo. I give an overview of the current astrology, including the Sun in Gemini conjunct Alcyone, Mercury retrograde and an upcoming aspect: Mercury conjunct Mars in Gemini, square Neptune in Pisces. I then take a few minutes and give a brief introduction to Chiron (in response to a reader comment) and finally end the program with a look at B.B.'s astrology.

In this special edition of Planet Waves FM, you get to hear an extended conversation between me and Rob Hand, the dean of American astrology. The original topic of the interview was the real position of the Catholic church on astrology. We also cover the nature of Chiron and the minor planets, the age of minor planet discovery, how asteroids work, and then we end up in a long conversation on the history of astrology. This somewhat answers the questions, "What is Hellenistic astrology?" and "What is Medieval astrology?" and, "What is Persian astrology?" This discussion is not edited -- you have it in its original form. The conversation began at 7:11 pm EDT on May 20, and took place between Kingston and Las Vegas.

Mercury Retrograde: Real Ideas; Real Information

Recently I released my 2015 spring reading -- a Mercury report covering the upcoming retrograde, from early next week through June 11. I was in part inspired to do this because of how challenging the last Mercury retrograde was, the one over the winter. People are still talking about it four months later. Some are joking that it never really ended.

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.
