Use this link if you're using an Apple mobile device | Download MP3. Or you can click through for additional resources.   In tonight's edition of Planet Waves FM, I look at the chart for the total lunar eclipse that happens Wednesday morning. This eclipse is conjunct Aries, the planet of revolution, invention, surprises and -- in Aries -- of technological glamor. The eclipse is a cardinal grand cross reminiscent of what we experienced between January and late April. The difference is that now, the Cancer leg of the cross is covered not by Jupiter by by Cyllarus, a centaur planet, which removes the buffer (of Jupiter) and spices up the militancy and element of surprise.   Discover how you can benefit from my professional astrology services.
