Thank you for sponsoring Planet Waves FM In this weekend’s program, I consider the astrology where “this all” is headed — the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction, about which I probably did not say enough. This is the final resolve of all we’ve experienced in 2020, yet the outcome is not certain. Like many things right now, much hangs in the balance. And that balance is the willingness to be aware. The mid part of the program is a conversation with Spencer Stevens, who has been coediting Covid19 News with me the past couple of months, and doing an excellent job. You will hear some shop talk about what it’s like to be tracking this issue day to day, confronted with an onslaught of lies, chaos and confusion. For Vesta Studio, I take another look at the astrology — including Venus in Gemini — and consider the matter of sexual ambivalence: of not knowing which way you might lean. In politicized sexuality, everyone is perfectly confident and marches with their faction. In actual sexuality, there is the possibility for doubt, a good use for curiosity, and the potential to explore yourself and others; your feelings, and those of others.

More astrology is on the Daily Planets tab. I discuss the latest in news where science meets spiritual growth, and a new edition of Vesta Studio covering the impact of Covid 19 on the social aspects of sex.

Thank you for sponsoring Planet Waves FM In this week’s edition, I look at two timeframes of astrology: the Cancer Solstice cluster of events happening now, and the winter solstice cluster of events around Dec. 21. I continue my discussion of what kind of world we want. In science news, we look at the Surgisphere scandal, involving a company selling fraudulent data, which scientists used in major studies on Covid (published in the The Lancet and The New England Journal of Medicine in May 2020).

This week’s theme is The Nature of the Beast: for example, how it is that police are beating on people who are protesting against police brutality, as if to prove their point for them. For this discussion, I am grateful to my American Studies professor and mentor at SUNY Buffalo, Mike Frisch.
