In this special edition of Planet Waves FM, I'm presenting a conversation with Geoffrey Cornelius, author of The Moment of Astrology. I think this may be the best book about astrology ever written, because it takes into account how the mind and astrology work together to present a cohesive picture of the universe. Geoffrey will be presenting a workshop in New York City the weekend of March 28-30, and then a retreat in upstate New York the following week. For additional resources please see the full post. Here is a letter previewing the Aquarius and Pisces birthday readings.

In today's program, I look at the situation developing between Russia and the Ukraine. We've been researching this copiously, and have a source near Kiev and someone who personally knew Viadimir Putin. While I'm explaining this chart, I answer several reader questions about the relationship of houses and signs and how that works in a chart. For the charts and additional resources and the chart, please see the full post. I’ve also just finished this letter previewing the Aquarius and Pisces birthday readings.

In tonight's edition of Dan and Eric's Music Appreciation Hour, we groove on The Grateful Dead. As is necessary, we leave a lot out of the story, but the program is structured around the four major eras in the band's history, defined by the long-term keyboard players -- Pigpen, Keith, Brent and Vince. We play some off the trodden path music and hang loose. For additional resources and the chart, please see the full post.

This week Mercury goes direct, followed by the Pisces New Moon and Mars stationing retrograde. All of these things happen within about 24 hours, so it's an unusual sequence of events -- get ready for some changes, a reshuffling of your priorities and making some unusual progress. I also talk about Jupiter square Uranus, which is one piece of the 2014 grand cross that will be exact on April 24 -- what is likely to come with American Spring.
