Welcome to today’s Four Winds Report. If you haven’t yet listened to Eric’s latest Planet Waves FM recording, do check it out — it’s a fascinating discussion of the schoolkids who are making themselves heard on gun safety, and of the astrology that sets them apart. Also new on our website: regular cartoonist Jen Sorensen satirizes toxic masculinity in this week’s comic.
In terms of today’s astrology, Mercury and Venus make contact with three significant minor planets from the early degrees of Aries. Eric explores all three of these objects — Pholus, Quaoar and Salacia — thoroughly in The Art of Becoming. Here is a link to the resources area on that website; it’s packed full of information on these intriguing planets, and a good deal more besides.

“Every child should have mud pies, grasshoppers, water bugs, tadpoles, frogs, mud turtles, elderberries, wild strawberries, acorns, chestnuts, trees to climb. Brooks to wade, water lilies, woodchucks, bats, bees, butterflies, various animals to pet, hayfields, pine-cones, rocks to roll, sand, snakes, huckleberries and hornets; and any child who has been deprived of these has been deprived of the best part of education.”
— Luther Burbank
Tonight’s edition of Planet Waves FM [play program here] is astrology-focused. Eric considers the charts of the young people finally moving the needle on gun control: the cohort born starting in 2000, what you might call post-millennials. This astrology contains two conjunctions that represent steps forward: the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction in Taurus, and Chiron and Pluto in Sagittarius. He briefly considers what people born in the 1980s and 1990s experienced astrologically, and then demonstrates the significant differences in charts starting in 2000.

Then stick with it for a year.

Current Pisces Monthly Horoscope
You’re probably getting the message to up your game on the financial front, though the first thing to remember about finances is that they’re connected to everything. In astrology there are two houses connected to the money that you earn. |
Written in the Planets
Depending on your time zone, the Moon enters Sagittarius sometime this afternoon or evening. When it does so, it immediately picks up the signal from Mercury and Venus, which are early in fellow fire sign Aries. This should ease the way for communicating with people you care about, even with seemingly ‘philosophical’ topics; you may notice a sense of optimism when it comes to discussing feelings. This might be going out on a limb, but even politically charged topics could be easier to approach — though discussion is likely to be quite spirited, and that window might be brief. With the Moon also making a challenging aspect to the bodies still in Pisces, you might notice an urge to travel or escape that could feel frustrating if you can’t indulge it. Remember that even a modest change of scenery within your neighborhood or giving yourself an hour to daydream could offer relief.
