This week I am honored to have world-class rocker Gary Lucas as my musical guest, on a program that addresses themes as deep as Gary's music and lyrics. I cover the recently-begun Mercury retrograde in Scorpio, which will be followed by the Sun ingressing Scorpio early Wednesday morning EDT. I pick up where Monday and Tuesday's editions of Daily Astrology begin -- opening up to your own inner truth, and addressing denial and codependency. For additional information and resources, please see the full post.

What's happening at the core of the federal budget standoff? In this edition I cover the astrology, the politics and the religion associated with a potential federal default -- and explain why I think that the astrology is leaning in favor of the worst not happening. My musical guest is Kris Perry and his fantastic, outrageously beautiful MACHINES project. For additional information and resources, please see the full post.
