Dear Friend and Reader:
The waxing Moon entered earthy, mutable Virgo today. In a nutshell, this means that as you move any projects into high gear, mind the details and work your plan for the next couple days.

We’re on our way to the Scorpio Full Moon, which is on Sunday, May 3, at 11:42 pm EDT (3:42 am UTC Monday). We have your Moonshine horoscopes here, written for the occasion by Len Wallick.
In today’s Planet Waves FM, Eric will comment on the current assortment of turbulent world events — the quake in Nepal, the uprising in Baltimore, and the Supreme Court hearing a case that may establish the right to marriage for all people.
The program should post to the website by about 5 or 6 pm EDT.
In the second half of the broadcast, he’ll comment on what he’s learned doing the Millennials reading (now called GENERATION: Understanding Millennials). He is close to finishing that, which he’s figured out is the beginning of a discussion and an adventure reading for young people.
Recent features on the main Planet Waves website include:
— Judith Gayle’s call to citizen action on the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal (TPP), in a week filled with political progress;
— Amanda Moreno’s examination of her evolving concept of ‘soul mates’. On a related note, the sex-and-relationships column revisits Eric’s “It’s Not About Sex. It’s About Self.” series;
— Sarah Taylor’s tarot reading for the week asks, what happens when the promise of something that has been calling to you — seemingly unobtainable — meets with what feels like the destruction of a part of your experience?
— Political and cultural observer Fe Bongolan has returned to Planet Waves. Her column will be appearing Mondays. This week’s topic: the state of disrepair in public discourse in America, against which backdrop Hillary Rodham Clinton is making her bid for President.
Len Wallick’s column for today has already published to the website, and both he and I will be back Thursday with your look at the weekend’s astrology. Tomorrow, keep an eye out for Madame Zolonga’s latest answer to a reader’s astrological quandary.
Yours & truly,
Amanda Painter
