On Thursday May 9 -- right before the solar eclipse in Taurus -- I was a guest on the Sandie Sedgbeer show on Blogtalk Radio. In our discussion we cover astrology, civic involvement and I answer her many questions about the spiritual nature of sex. Here is the whole interview, in a higher-quality format than you can get on BTR.

Eric Francis talks about the May 9 solar eclipse in Taurus, as well as goes over the chart for the escape from captivity of Michele Knight, Amanda Berry and Georgina DeJesus. Charts and additional links are on the page -- click the title for access.

You can play a free sample of your Taurus birthday reading, including a few minutes of the astrology and the tarot sections, and some information about how I do these readings.

In tonight's edition I'm joined by sex educator and feminist pornographer Tristan Taormino. I also cover the Boston Marathon suspect's legal situation as well as the Pagan festival of Beltane.
