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.

In tonight's somewhat late edition of Dan and Eric's Music Appreciation Hour, we absolutely positively appreciate Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Our music selection includes a trio divertimento, a symphony, an opera and a few other bits and bobs, ending with "name that tune." Here are the charts of Mozart's birth and death and his progressions at the time of his death. For additional resources and the chart, please see the full post.

The Sun enters Pisces today, and I offer my comment what that is about. Then I respond to a reader inquiry: What is a Pluto transit? In order to answer that I have to break down the differences between natal planets and transiting ones. Then I put the two together, using the chart of a reader named Claire. My musical guest is Shana Flana, a local psychedelic rocker. For additional resources and the chart, please see the full post.
