November 02, 2016 The Nature of the Beast
Do you have a feeling that something strange is lurking behind all the mudslinging in the presidential election? I thought so. In tonight's Planet Waves FM, I peel back the layers of what that might be. In Scorpio fashion, I look for what's hidden and concealed; what the candidates or the commentators are not talking about.

October 26, 2016 Planet Waves FM Edition 300: Walking the Walk
For tonight's program — the 300th edition of Planet Waves FM — we pay tribute to two men who have walked the walk: Tom Hayden, the father of many activist movements, who left the planet Sunday; and Neil Young, who still roams and plays his guitar among us.

October 19, 2016 Forget Astrology — Bob Dylan Won the Nobel Prize
In this edition, I focus the astrology on the conjunction of Mars and Pluto that takes place Wednesday, the day of the third presidential debate. I cover the movement of Pluto through Capricorn, the potential influence of Mars, and also look ahead at both Mars and Pluto aspecting the Uranus-Eris conjunction.

October 12, 2016 Deep Background: It's Not What You Think
America loves an outlaw. That might explain why 43 percent of the voting population is supporting a candidate who had admitted to tax evasion and sexual assault. But what explains that? How do we make sense of that in our supposedly informed and enlightened times? In tonight's edition, I take these questions slowly, looking at the Uranus-Eris cycle and this weekend's Full Moon aligned with the era-defining conjunction.

October 05, 2016 What If This Whole Trump Thing is a Joke?
In tonight's edition of Planet Waves FM, I begin by considering whether the the whole Donald Trump candidacy is a joke that won't end. We learned a couple of months ago that it was Bill Clinton who reportedly put Donald Trump up to running, which may have seemed like a good idea at the time. I mean, he's bigoted and doesn't like women; he's ultra politically incorrect and can't shut up. He's the perfect candidate to beat.

September 28, 2016 This is Your Brain on the Internet
In tonight's edition of Planet Waves FM, I consider the question of cohesiveness. Inspired by Donald Trump's performance at Hofstra University last night, I've taken a gander (with the help of Andrew McLuhan) into what all this gibberish is about. My observation is that it's about the internet. Capital of non-relational information, the library without a catalog, where the house game is 52 Card Pickup, we can thank internet consciousness for the rise of a political candidate who makes no sense whatsoever.

September 21, 2016 Before the Equinox: The End of a Long Season
In tonight's edition of Planet Waves FM, I discuss the details on the end of Mercury retrograde as the Sun approaches the sign Libra and the equinox.
We are in a complex moment, and with Mercury at the end of its retrograde describing how challenging this Virgo phase has been. Virgo is about integration of opposites, and that can take work.

September 14, 2016 Lunar Eclipse in Pisces Conjunct Chiron
Tonight's edition begins with a discussion of the penumbral lunar eclipse in Pisces that the high priestesses, the shamans and the astrologers say is supposed to happen Friday afternoon. The eclipse is also square Mars and Pholus — it's a high-energy event, one of a cluster of developments happening within a short time.

September 07, 2016 Freddie Mercury and His Asteroid
In this edition, I look at Jupiter's ingress into Libra, which takes place Friday morning. This sign-change takes us to a new phase of astrology, with Jupiter entering a more open energy field, and playing counterweight to Uranus and Eris in Aries. I also look at the charts of Phyllis Schlafly and the incredible Freddie Mercury, who would have turned 70 yesterday.

August 31, 2016 Total Eclipse and the Cosmic Feminine
Tonight Planet Waves FM dives into the vortex of feminine by way of a total eclipse in Virgo. In a spontaneous manifestation of symbolism, Florence Welch appeared as if to fulfill this archetype and describe it to us vividly in astrology and the music of Florence + the Machine.
