Aqueerious Rising | Note from Eric

 

 


Aqueerius Rising

WITH the Aqua/Leo eclipses doing their little number on our synapses, we ought to be getting jolts of experience that feed our confidence and creative projects and bedroom dalliances nicely once we recover from the shock, if we recover, if we even want to. If you're not riding the upside of these quakes of the cosmos, try not to take your losses too seriously. Progress is in progress. An eclipse conjunct Uranus, that is, Prometheus? The very day the Year of the White Dragon begins? With Jupiter hurling towards Saturn for the once-per-generation meeting of two worlds whose combined size is about 2,100 times that of Earth, a conjunction so strong it will stretch the very Sun in its orbit around the galaxy?

....For those of you who found the whole News Year's Eve thing meaningless or tedious, this is a glorious high-voltage option. There are possibilities, and they are real. There are probabilities, and they are now. If we are walking a razor's edge, it is attitude. This is the best advice I could ever give myself, but I'll pass it along as well: Embrace your freedom. Embrace yourself. Embrace your cousins.


THIS
Acurious update of Planet Waves will happen over two weeks. We have lots. Planet Waves is no longer a solo operation. I've always had help, but now I have collaborators, and they have me. This week you'll find a couple of new horoscopes, including the February monthly, plus my essay on something called compersion, which is my answer to hearts and Cupids, plus new Genexhibitionistic writing by Maya Dexter, and new artwork by the psycherotic Via Davis and the ever-diversifying Carol Burkhart. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, Melanie Clark and Adrianna Zehr are scouting the stars for interesting events to include in future Waves columns, and, very likely, their own writing.

....Next week the news team, consisting of Chris Grosso and Amy Fulton-Stout, will serve up their assortment of items, including a piece on dolphins and several smaller ones in the Planet News series. They checked in today and said updates would be weekly hence forth. Got an idea for a news story? Chris@PlanetWaves.net is the man. Carol, our diplomat to the rear, lower left-hand corner of the galaxy, has researched a fun collection of links on Centaur planets and deep space astrology, which will be posted among next week's updates. Other writers are on tap; we got some music for you; we got some chaos theory and a bit of quantum physics and a few new streaks and colors of sex. If you like our erotic photography, e-mail Neal and tell him to get shakin' with those new sessions.

....It's exciting being surrounded by, and infused with, all this fine creative energy; playing is more fun when I'm playin' in the band.

....New writers means I will be writing less for this particular web page. I'll still be at the horoscopes and the monthly essays, which also appear on America Online-UK (keyword MYSTIC in the USA), but I am dipping into some of the creative nectar for my own ecstatic purposes, working up an astrology book and developing my creative writing.

....People seeking astrology consultations: I will resume taking appointments from new clients Feb. 15. To assist you in what has often proven to be a difficult process of getting through, I will be posting new contact instructions. Meanwhile, if you are desiring an appointment, if you leave a message for Connie at (914) 339-3339, expect a call back in about two weeks when I resume.

....Speaking of whom, Connie is playing offensive line and working on getting Planet Waves out to a wider and more diverse media audience. If there is a community newspaper or magazine in your area -- weekly, monthly or daily -- please tell them about Planet Waves, and please tell Connie that you did so, providing the name of a live contact at the publication, if possible. We'll get in touch with our high-class marketing propaganda, and aim the beams of our brainwashing satellites at their heads. Thank you for this very important bit of help. The more papers that carry Planet Waves, the more I will be free to write articles and books. Good for you, good for me.

....Well, enough rambling for one evening. It's good to be with you, and thanks to everyone whose help went into this edition.

....Reporting live from the cosmos, listening to some weird bootleg CD from Seattle called The Water Strides late this fine chilly evening getting ready to jet 14 new files onto the server right now, saying Hare Krishna to ye, this is...
