Tonight’s Planet Waves FM looks at the forthcoming Full Moon in Libra, which takes place across the very last degrees of the Aries/Libra axis. I think this is a potential release point from the Sun passing through the Saturn/Pluto/Eris configuration this week. I also look at the astrology of Julian Assange’s arrest, and look forward to the gradual peeling back of the Mueller report, part of which is due out this week.
Tonight’s program is mostly devoted to an interview, with a woman named Tchiya Amet. Back in 1984, she was friends with Neil deGrasse Tyson in graduate school at the University of Texas at Austin.
I begin with an astrology introduction, which looks at the Sun’s passage through the Saturn-Pluto conjunction, and through the Pluto-Eris square, peaking between Wednesday and Sunday (in full force and effect now). Then I move on to the interview, which is played without interruption or editing.
Overnight tonight is a total eclipse of the Moon in Leo, at 12:16 am EST. In tonight’s edition of Planet Waves FM, I describe some of the features of that eclipse. I also look at the chart of Martin Luther King, Jr. [view chart here]. Finally, in the third segment, Tantra Studio is an analysis of this satirical article in The Onion. When we consider why something is funny (or is supposed to be), we get a look at the underlying message of the joke.

Dear Friend and Reader:
In tonight’s edition of Planet Waves FM, my guest is Prof. Janice Fiamengo, who teaches English at the University of Ottawa.
In the hour we spend in conversation [available here separately as its own file], she makes her case that the world needs to be more compassionate to men, most of whom she believes truly respect women.

At the same time, by now we are all aware that there is a problem with sexual misconduct, and that men are usually the ones held responsible. What we don’t hear much about is that there is also a false accusation problem. This is joked about, belittled, or said to be nonexistent — or irrelevant.
Prof. Fiamengo takes the position that we need to heal this problem — and do what it will take to create equality between the sexes. That means to plot our path forward in a way that is sane, loving, and helpful to everyone.
In this edition, I also cover the shutdown of the government, and the astrology as we go into the first week of 2019.
Barring any truly major news, this will be my last program for 2018, in support of finishing the RESET 2019 readings, which are part of the INTELLIGENCE project from Planet Waves. These are extended audio readings, audio resources, and written resources that I intend to have in your hands by New Year’s Eve.

Dear Friend and Listener:
We’re approaching a turning point in the year and maybe in contemporary history, about to experience a Full Moon on the Northern winter solstice with the minor planet Pholus involved. I describe that in tonight’s subscriber edition as well as in tonight’s Planet Waves FM.
When a new or newish minor planet is involved in this kind of one-degree event, we get what I call a proving moment, where we see what this influence is made out of: what it does when the energy is turned up.

Hey Sagittarius — Jupiter in your sign means you’re entering a year of new experience, greater understanding of who you are, and inspiring growth. Your 2018-19 Sagittarius birthday reading will help you make the best of Jupiter’s gifts.
I don’t know if this is going to be any calmer of a week than we’ve grown accustomed to this year, though the astrology has finally let up. The fifth inner-planet retrograde of 2018 ended on Thursday; Mars has made a conjunction to Neptune and is heading for Chiron; and we’ve experienced the Sagittarius New Moon conjunct the Great Attractor.

In honor of all of the above, we have a magnificent edition of Planet Waves FM for you tonight — the first marking our 20th anniversary of publishing. The program came out a little longer than I was planning and will be excellent for a long winter night, perhaps two nights, or a long car drive.
I begin with the current astrology in the first segment. In the second, I tell the story of the origins of Planet Waves, and how I went from being a news / business / investigative reporter into developing the field of news astrology.
In the third segment, I give a summary of the current status of the Mueller probe into Russian meddling with the 2016 election. It’s not really proper to call it “collusion.” It’s more like a merger between Moscow and Washington. Apropos of that discussion, here’s the sentencing memo for Michael Cohen that I read from.

Tonight I have a short edition of Planet Waves FM for you, going over this week’s utterly out-there astrology, recent and upcoming developments in the Mueller probe, and some music from Vision Quest.
These days, I’m recording part one of INTELLIGENCE, the 2019-2020 readings. Then I’ll move into the written readings, covering 2020. Once Mercury is direct, the two sections will be split apart and, in effect, the price will double.
