I’m sending this to all of our lists today. If you’re already a subscriber, thank you for making Planet Waves possible. We do what we do without advertising or corporate sponsorship. We’ve been supported by our readers since 2002. Response to our current membership drive has been amazing — the best ever. (Here is yesterday’s letter, about how astrology can help the time crisis.)
Thank you for making all of our lives easier here, which we will pass along to you in the form of improved service.
This is our Monday Morning letter. It’s what we send to help you get your week started off right. In this letter we include my weekly horoscope (on Thursdays we send you a longer article and one of the monthly horoscopes).
This is an extraordinary week. There are two conjunctions, both distinctive, though on Friday we experience the extremely rare conjunction of Uranus and Eris. That began last year; with outer planets, there are usually three meetings (a visual illusion related to the Earth’s orbit of the Sun). Friday is the third and last Uranus-Eris meeting; the two begin to separate and will not form another conjunction until April 28, 2106.
First, a comment about Tuesday’s alignment of the Sun, Pallas and Chiron in Pisces. This is rare and beautiful for a few reasons. For Pallas, the goddess of strategy, wisdom and protection, it’s the last conjunction to Chiron in Pisces. Chiron is associated with healing, with standing apart, and with the long struggle to focus one’s strength.
On Tuesday, the Sun aligns with these two points, which is saying: pay attention to this! It’s a peak moment for Chiron in Pisces, now in its last full year. This grouping says that unusual wisdom is available, which can help you heal what ails you, be it physical, spiritual or both. Astrology describes what’s available, and this most certainly is.
How do you use this? I recommend knowing what situations you want to work out, problems you want to solve, or things you want to accomplish. First, get clear about that. Set your agenda — and then ask for help. Then, listen. Pay attention to the flow of events, particularly who you meet. This aspect, highlighted by the Sun, is a useful utility, with a bold dash of creativity.
As I describe on the current Planet Waves TV, Pallas and Chiron provide different facets of the same basic equation, which in part involves gender. Pallas is female, which accentuates the masculine, and Chiron is male, accentuating the feminine. They work brilliantly together. Open up and let it flow.
Now for the main event — one of the stand-out aspects of our lifetimes. That’s the third and final alignment of Uranus and Eris for this cycle. This happened last through 1927 and 1928. Then it didn’t happen again until June 8, 2016, then Sept. 25, 2016, and then this Friday. As mentioned, these events come in little clusters of three for every cycle. The next one happens in 2106, so this is special.
Uranus conjunct Eris is what you might think of as what time it is, in the grand scheme of things. This conjunction describes all the chaos and potential of our times. It’s one of those rare moments of everything coming to a head, and it opens the door to many, many other events that are about to flow.
Pay attention to what happens in these very days. Do your best to step outside of your routines and see the world from a new point of view. Let yourself imagine the possibilities, for you and for all of us.
The same energy that’s stirring the pot and shaking up the whole world is also describing where you might fit into the process of change. The key to accessing all of this potential is through your self-concept. How you think of yourself sets the limits, or removes the limits, on your potential.
Here’s a quotation from A Course in Miracles that I keep close by at all times. It’s from a chapter in the textbook called “The Purpose of Time.”
“There is a deep responsibility you owe yourself, and one which you must learn to remember all the time. The lesson will seem hard at first, but you will learn to love it when you realize that it is true and constitutes a tribute to your power. You who have sought and found littleness, remember this: Every decision which you make stems from what you think you are and represents the value that you put upon yourself. Believe the little can content you, and by limiting yourself, you will not be satisfied. For your function is not little, and it is only by finding your function and fulfilling it that you can escape from littleness.”
On that note, I will leave you with your readings for the week.

Eric, I really like the quote – I want to have that at my desk to read often, let it sink it just where it needs to (everywhere). Thank you from my heart for the intelligent, beautiful work you orchestrate for all of us, each and every day. All the Best!
Wow Eric, thank you for this beautiful gift of insight and revelation! Tomorrow is my birthday, and I will look everywhere I am for magic and wonder from the place of my inner presence and true self. Finally, I’m ready to reveal and be who I really am inside, and it’s very excited to be finally arriving!
