October 29, 2014 The Scorpio Alignment, What's Happening in Canada and a Tribute to Presidential Astrologer Miss Joan Quigley
In tonight's edition of Planet Waves FM, I recap what has been happening in Canada, and consider the situation with Jian Ghomeshi, the CBC reporter who was fired for alleged sexual misconduct and who has sued his former employer. I consider what seems to be the newly emerging "BD/SM defense," akin to the "rough sex defense," and the problems associated with the discussion of sexual boundaries in the context of alleged crimes. In the second half of the program I offer a tribute to the life of Joan Quigley, the astrologer to the Reagans, including reading her chart. My musical guest is Bjork, who also gets a chart reading and a shout-out from one of her most avid fans.

October 22, 2014 Solar Eclipse, Mercry Direct and the Chart of Thom Yorke
We are in one of the most interesting astrological weeks in ages — on Thursday, the Moon, Venus and the Sun enter Scorpio at about the same time, followed by an eclipse of the Sun. Then two days later, Mercury stations direct in Libra. This is a lot of movement and it may have you feeling like you're in a the squeeze, under unusual stress or not knowing what to do. Easy does it — the astrology is moving fast and soon we will be in a whole new zone, the Scorpio zone.

October 15, 2014 Mercury retrograde, ebola's homeopathic connenection to rattlesnakes — and Paul Simon's astrology
In tonight's edition of Planet Waves FM, I explore the crazy mix of Mercury retrograde, eclipses and the Mars-Plulus-Ixion conjunction. In the second half of the program, I look at the connection between homeopathic preparations of viper venom and the ebola outbreak in Western Africa. In the musical portion of the program, I look at the natal chart of Paul Simon, one of the great bards and musicians of our lifetimes. He is one of my favorite examples of the Libra rock star.

October 08, 2014 Total Lunar Eclipse in Aries — And What All These Crazy News Stories Have in Common
In tonight's edition of Planet Waves FM, I look at the chart for the total lunar eclipse that happens Wednesday morning. This eclipse is conjunct Aries, the planet of revolution, invention, surprises and — in Aries — of technological glamor. The eclipse is a cardinal grand cross reminiscent of what we experienced between January and late April. The difference is that now, the Cancer leg of the cross is covered not by Jupiter by by Cyllarus, a centaur planet, which removes the buffer (of Jupiter) and spices up the militancy and element of surprise.

October 01, 2014 Into the Eclipses and Mercury Rx — and Into the White House
Planet Waves FM is presented free from commercial interruption. In tonight's edition of Planet Waves FM, I cover the forthcoming Mercury retrograde, the eclipses of October other facets of upcoming astrology. In the second half of the program I give a brief synopsis of the world situation and offer a few responses, touching again on the theme of the seemingly endless war that we find ourselves waging against someone or something. Then I look at the chart for Omar Gonzalez climbing over the White House fence and getting all the way into the East Room before being tackled and stopped. Our musical guest is Treetop Flyers. I play two songs from their 2013 CD The Mountain Moves — "Is it All Worth It" and "Haunted House."

September 24, 2014 Libra New Moon, Makemake and Thoughts about War
Planet Waves FM is presented free from commercial interruption. In tonight's edition of Planet Waves FM, I look at Wednesday morning's Libra New Moon conjunct Makemake, and talk about this elusive, relatively new planet. I also comment on the seemingly perpetual state of war that the United States seems to be involved in. My musical guest is Amy Blaschke, who has invited us to preview two songs from her forthcoming CD "Opaline." You can reach her website here. Artists on Amy's level — major talent, not signed to a major record label — thrive on word of mouth. If you like her work, please spread the word.

September 10, 2014 Live, Call-In Pisces Full Moon Edition of Planet Waves FM
Planet Waves FM is presented free from commercial interruption. Tonight's edition is a replay of Monday night's live call-in edition, which took place during the Pisces Full Moon. There are no musical breaks, just a lot of dialog between me and PW FM listeners. We touch on many subjects, from astrology, to relationship choices (including a long discussion of what polyamory is and is not), a personal injury lawsuit, how to use Chiron and the coming lunar eclipse in Aries.

September 03, 2014 Of Virgo and Pisces — and the Pisces Full Moon
Planet Waves FM is presented free from commercial interruption. In tonight's edition of Planet Waves FM, I look closely at the relationship between Virgo and Pisces, focused on the Pisces Full Moon that happens on Sept. 8. This includes a discussion of how the Full Moon is conjunct both Chiron and Borasisi. In the second half of the program, I read your commentaries about Virgo as a point of integration. These are some brilliant ideas from Planet Waves subscribers who have apparently been contemplating the Virgo question for a while. My musical guest is Sheila Chandra.

August 27, 2014 The Nature of the Beast
Planet Waves FM is presented free from commercial interruption. Why is it necessary to protest? Because protest brings out the nature of the thing being protested, so that everyone can see what it is. In tonight's edition of Planet Waves FM, I consider the two charts that I've read for the shooting of Michael Brown and the subsequent protests in Ferguson, Missouri — one cast for midnight and another cast for noon, on the same day.
