June 04, 2014 How advertising is destroying our society and our world, Mercury stationing retrograde trine Nessus, and the natal chart of peformance artist Laurie Anderson
Advertising is destroying our society and our world. I set out to prove this in tonight's edition of Planet Waves FM. But first I look closely at Mercury stationing retrograde in an exact trine to centaur planet Nessus — focusing the astrology of a discussion that's been brewing on various Planet Waves forums all week. I also cover the Sun square Chiron, which happens the day after Mercury changes apparent directions. Then I look at the natal chart of performance artist, storyteller, musician and inventor Laurie Anderson. Additional resources are inside — click the title of the program for Laurie's charts and several videos.

May 28, 2014 Gemini New Moon, the Isla Vista Incident, Planet Waves Horoscope 1000 and a Shout Out to Bob Dylan
Planet Waves FM is presented free from commercial interruption. Become a Planet Waves Core Community Member, get the best of our services and support ad-free programming. In tonight's edition of Planet Waves FM, I cover the Gemini New Moon square Neptune. This is quite an aspect pattern, involving the asteroid Apollo in Virgo. I do the chart of the Isla Vista shooting from Friday night and comment on the toxic combination of advertising images, anti-depressants, hero-worship, guns and alienation. After a song break by Suzanne Vega, I talk about the desire to go beyond alienation that led to my becoming an astrologer, and read some thoughts of Dane Rudhyar, published in 1936. Finally I give a shout out to Bob Dylan and acknowledge him for the turn of phrase after which Planet Waves is named.

May 14, 2014 Scorpio Full Moon, Games People Play, Millennial Generation Astrology — and the First Live Call-In on Sunday, May 18
Tonight's edition of Planet Waves FM covers three topics — the first is current astrology including the Scorpio Full Moon (exact Wednesday), Venus passing through the grand cross and Mercury square Chiron. In the second section I look at the work and the astrology of Dr. Eric Berne, innovator of transactional analysis. This is the 50th anniversary of the book Games People Play, and Dr. Berne's 114th birth anniversary was this past weekend on May 10. In the third section I look at the astrology of the millennial generation, in particular people born between 1983 and 1999.

May 07, 2014 The Walk of Shame, Herpes Paranoia, Fear of the Nipple and Other Horror Stories from Youth Sex Culture
In tonight's edition of Planet Waves FM, Daniel Sternstein and I speak candidly about the "walk of shame" phenomenon, and other truly strange idioms from twenty-something youth sex culture. These include paranoia about herpes but hardly anyone doing anything about it, the rampant sexualizing of sex but phobia of the female nipple and an environment where the concepts of yes and no are drowned in six drinks before many people can get the courage to take off their clothes.

April 30, 2014 Eclipse in Taurus, Beltane and Loreena McKennitt's Chart
In tonight's edition of Planet Waves FM, I look at the annular solar eclipse in Taurus that happens at Tuesday at 2:14 am EDT. This includes a close look at several planets in Taurus, including Juno and Tantalus. I talk about eclipses, how they work and how to use them — and the message of this eclipse being about getting closer to yourself. Finally, I look at the chart of musician, poet and visionary Loreena McKennitt — which I am including below so you can see what it looks like.

April 23, 2014 Cardinal Grand Cross, Hypocrisy Meltdown, Projection in Rape Culture and Rubin Hurricane Carter
In tonight's program, I focus on the phenomenon of projection implied by Mars retrograde in its opposite sign Libra, consider this in the discussion of 'rape culture', and look at the hypocrisy implied in this placement — which is now coming to a crux. I propose that we have to take the discussion deeper than the legalistic or moralistic level and deal with the reality of what people do and why.
