  • The Elements of Worldly and Spiritual Strength
    It's often been said that when the student is ready, the teacher arrives — and in that spirit, I'm here to introduce you to Kasia Urbaniak. A former dominatrix who was once paid $64,000 for a ten-minute session (her job while putting herself and her sister through university), Kasia now teaches women's empowerment workshops. Tonight's edition of Planet Waves FM is a double-header, wherein two full segments are devoted to a conversation I had with Kasia last night. That segment begins at 1 hour and 40 minutes if you want to skip right to it.

  • The Planets are On the Move
    Tonight's edition of Planet Waves FM looks at the interesting inner-planet activity at the moment (summed up in Monday's edition of Planet Waves). This includes Mercury, Venus and Mars all making aspects to outer planets before changing signs and forming a magnificent pattern from about June 4 through June 10.

  • The Message is Fear: Bombing in Manchester
    The word terror means extreme fear, and that's the goal of terrorism. In tonight's edition of Planet Waves FM, I look at the chart for the bombing at Manchester Arena on Monday night, and ask what, exactly, we might learn from these events.

  • Before and After Eno: Bowie, Talking Heads, U2
    Today's edition of Planet Waves FM is really a glorified version of my old show, the Music Appreciation Hour. Only today you might say that it's Record Producer Appreciation Hour, if that producer is Brian Eno and if his clients are some of the most sublime musical artists of our lifetimes.

  • Scorpio Full Moon and Brian Eno
    Tonight, celebrating the 69th birthday of Brian Eno, Planet Waves FM is a tribute to his music, as well as to art and sex. We'll hear music spanning about 30 years of Brian's career, from his early solo days to the early 21st century, including one movement of Music For Airports, covered by the virtuoso ensemble, Bang on a Can.

  • The Beltane Edition with Loreena McKennitt
    Tonight's edition of Planet Waves FM focuses on Beltane, though first I describe the current, highly and deeply unusual Mercury station direct in Aries. That takes place Wednesday. Mercury is stationing direct conjunct the Uranus-Eris conjunction — a kind of historic event, and I'm curious to see what Wednesday's news holds.

  • Taurus New Moon, and Room to Explore
    Who was Robert M. Pirsig? Tonight's Planet Waves FM offers an interview (republished from NPR more than 43 years ago) with the author of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, who died Monday in Maine. Before I go there, I explore the current astrology and the Taurus New Moon, including a look at Mars square Nessus and some of its implications; Venus in the last degrees of Pisces; and Mercury stationing direct conjunct Uranus-Eris.
    2 hr 28 min
  • Venus, Chiron and the Divine Feminine
    With the approaching end of Venus retrograde and Venus conjunct Chiron, tonight's edition of Planet Waves FM is about the Divine Feminine. This means something different to everyone. What it means to me is a healing and creative source at the core of both cosmos and psyche, that's available to us all the time.
    2 hr 17 min
  • Martin Luther King: In the Name of Love
    Today is the 49th anniversary of the murder of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King. In tonight's program, after I cover the current astrology, I look at Dr. King's chart, I talk about the now well-known FBI conspiracy to destroy him, and then I play 30 minutes of his speech linking the civil rights movement to the anti-war movement. That was 50 years ago today, on April 4, 1967
    2 hr 54 min
  • All That Aries, and Those Aries People
    Planet Waves FM is back, with the Aries edition [play episode here]. I look at all the Aries conjunctions we're currently experiencing, including the Moon passing through the Uranus-Eris conjunction tonight, and the Sun about to pass through it.
