The Sun has ingressed Gemini, Mercury is direct, and the Sun is making a conjunction to Vesta, my favorite asteroid. In this week’s Planet Waves TV, I describe Vesta’s role as keeper of the hearth and the idea of the organization of space, both mental and physical.

During the past three days, the Sun changed signs to Gemini, the Moon reached full phase from Sagittarius and Mercury stationed direct in Taurus.
In this week’s Planet Waves TV, Eric describes the forthcoming Sagittarius Full Moon on May 21. You can only have the Sagittarius Full Moon when the Sun is in Gemini, which begins May 20. Then Eric looks ahead to the Gemini New Moon, taking the two charts as one event, and explaining the lunar cycle — the Full Moon/New Moon pulse — in some detail.

In this week’s Planet Waves TV, Eric describes Monday’s Mercury transit of the Sun — an exact conjunction of Mercury and the Sun. This is part of Mercury retrograde, as there is a conjunction each time Mercury goes past the Earth (as it’s doing now). But typically Mercury will pass above or below the Sun. On Monday, it walks directly across the surface of the Sun, which Eric interprets. For a sign-by-sign description, see the Monday Morning Horoscope by Eric, which is available to subscribers; for example, if you have a Horoscope Lover subscription.

This week’s edition of Planet Waves TV covers the old-religion holiday of Beltane, one of the cross-quarter days. I also look at the double inner planet retrograde, of Mars at one end of the zodiac (in Scorpio) and Mercury at the other end (in Taurus). Please subscribe to our YouTube channel.
Mercury stations retrograde Thursday. In this new edition of Planet Waves TV, Eric Francis considers the possibilities, and mentions other interesting bits about Venus and Mars as they are currently placed. Please subscribe to our YouTube channel.
In this week’s Planet Waves TV, I describe the difference between opposite and adjoining signs. Mars will be retrograde in Sagittarius and Scorpio, which contain more “opposition energy” than opposite signs Sagittarius and Gemini. I explain this in the context of some easy ideas from Esoteric Astrology by Alice Bailey, and classical astrology as well.
This week’s edition of Planet Waves TV covers the Sun’s meeting with Uranus and Eris. And as Mars retrograde draws near (it begins April 17), Eric Francis also comments on what Mars is about — identity, motivation and desire. Mars retrograde turns these things that are usually statements into questions, and an opportunity for introspection.
Does astrology seem too intellectual to make any sense? Then this edition of Planet Waves TV is for you. Eric Francis describes the Aries New Moon after giving a basic rundown on the lunar cycle itself. This New Moon revives our old friend the Uranus-Pluto square, and brings in the Uranus-Eris conjunction.
