“You reason well, and your wit is bold, but you are too prejudiced. You do not let your eyes see nor your ears hear, and that which is outside your daily life is not of account to you. Do you not think that there are things which you cannot understand, and yet which are, that some people see things that others cannot? But there are things old and new which must not be contemplated by men’s eyes, because they know, or think they know, some things which other men have told them. Ah, it is the fault of our science that it wants to explain all, and if it explain not, then it says there is nothing to explain. But yet we see around us every day the growth of new beliefs, which think themselves new, and which are yet but the old, which pretend to be young, like the fine ladies at the opera.”
— Bram Stoker
In this week’s edition of Planet Waves FM [play edition here], Eric looks at yet another senseless mass murder, and consider all the theories that you won’t hear about on cable news or read in most coverage, in particular. He considers violence as a struggle for identity; the distortion of eros and thanatos; and the ways people have been driven out of their bodies by electric media. And of course, it all comes down to military-grade weapons on sale at the local shopping mall.

If Your Birthday is Nov. 8
(The Day of the Borderline) | Scorpio Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You will experience the deepest emotional and spiritual gifts this year by taking care of the people who mean the most to you. In our “service economy,” we have lost the pleasure and indeed the honor of offering ourselves to those we consider our family. Experimenting with this will teach you everything you need to know about where you stand with them.
Written in the Planets
You may notice that you’re more aware of the big picture in terms of your thought processes now. This can be quite a useful shift in perspective, especially if you’ve spent recent weeks extra-focused on details or in-depth investigations. Yet it can be trickier to connect the broader or longer-term view with the immediate steps that need to be taken. You might find this especially true if your awareness of some problematic emotional or sexual patterning is pushing you to address it. While that dynamic is suggested by Mercury in Sagittarius square the centaur Nessus in Pisces, another centaur aspect is also exact today: Chiron in Pisces square Ixion in Sagittarius. It’s clear that you’re ready to make a move toward healing some old wound; what’s less clear is how you’ll go about it. It’s not enough simply to let the ends justify the means. Even when oriented on the big picture, the details about how you get there do matter; remember your ethics.
By any standards, 2018 will be a distinctive year astrologically. Get your essential guide to riding the waves of the next 12 months and beyond. Pre-order The Art of Becoming, the 2018 Planet Waves Annual by Eric Francis.
