Dear Friend and Reader:

It’s difficult to keep a positive attitude about life right now. It’s easy to be cranky and to run out of hope, especially if you tune into the affairs of the wider world. It’s difficult to feel like things will be any different from the way they currently are: less stressful, more meaningful, easier to handle.

Many people are getting cynical. That’s a “luxury” we cannot afford right now. It’s a dark and sleepy approach, when we need to focus our minds, stay in contact with our feelings and with one another, and face the challenges of our lives — whether private or collective, small or great. And for that, we’re going to need to wake up and use our minds.

To that end, I’ve just finished designing and recording the first phase of your INTELLIGENCE reading, called RESET 2019. We’re putting the final touches on the website and will have them to you by this weekend, probably by Saturday night.

The INTELLIGENCE readings will cover out to the end of 2020 when the written portion is ready early next year.

I have used as a destination the winter solstice of 2020, about two years from now, when there is finally an opening and a massive shift in the collective energy. Yet this will take preparation.

RESET 2019 focuses on the necessities of how to get there. In each reading, I first take apart the events of 2018 and explain how they were necessary steps on the way to processing the events of the coming two years. If you’re wondering what the heck happened this past year, INTELLIGENCE will not only provide some insight; you will also be able to claim the value of what you experienced.

Dear Friend and Reader:

It’s difficult to see the future these days. I don’t mean to predict; I mean to see out to the horizon, and imagine something new.

There’s a lot in the way: the challenges we face every day, the sense of uncertainty that we live with, and the chaos churned up by the digital environment; let’s pause there for a second. This has thrown into chaos the “sense of self” that many people once possessed.

Add to that economic uncertainty and the sensation that the whole world is on the edge — it’s difficult to see the future these days. It seems risky to trust that things will be OK. It can feel impossible to imagine anything different from what we have now, much less something better.

Here is where astrology comes in. There is a future, and you are included. I use my gift as an astrologer to open up your perception of time, and give you access to time as a resource. This can be done with the power of human thought, if only we can get out of our own way.

INTELLIGENCE is your 2019-2020 reading, and it’s all about lighting up your mind, letting go of the past, and envisioning your future. Then, you will see some possible destinations begin to arise.

We are now in one of those “whole new reality” series of transits: Chiron in Aries. Uranus in Taurus. Many other long-range events that will shape our lives — and that we can use as points of orientation.

There are two major factors on what I call the “event horizon” — Saturn conjunct Pluto on Jan. 12, 2020, and Jupiter conjunct Saturn on Dec. 21, 2020.

On their own, each these would be a significant development; but soon we will get them in the same year.

It is for this reason that I’m covering 2019 and 2020 in one project — next year in audio (for fast delivery) and then 2020 in writing (equally detailed, though writing takes longer).

This is carefully done, thoughtful, accessible astrology like nobody else can do it. Though I am reluctant to use the word, I am a master of the solar house system, allowing me to put more detail into your reading than most other astrologers can do with your natal chart. (The solar chart is the archetypal chart for your birth sign).

Dear Readers, Now and in the Future:

We live in a most unusual moment, a perilous moment, and a beautiful one too. Our time in history is described by the astrology that is influencing all of us individually, and is making fireworks in the primary chart of the United States.

On January 12, 2020, at 11:59 pm EST, the world will experience the conjunction of Saturn and Pluto, in the sign Capricorn. This is a one-time event, for this cycle. (The next time the two form an exact conjunction is June 15, 2053, in Pisces).

For this reason, INTELLIGENCE, the 2019 annual edition of Planet Waves, will cover two years. The conjunction of Saturn and Pluto requires preparation. This aspect has a long story-arc. It brings to a close a cycle begun in November 1982, and opens a new cycle, in our personal history and in American history.

Saturn-Pluto is also square Eris, a planet discovered in 2005 and named in 2006 — and barely understood by astrologers. This is a new, edgy, strange factor to add to the astrology, representing the return of the castaway woman.

The world is in trouble and many people are in crisis. Planetary systems are frail and resources are running out. The “old order” is guarding its position and hoarding wealth.

It seems as if every need for healing is coming up at once. We would have it a lot easier, if we would use our intelligence: not just our brains, but our full bio-psychic systems, or capacity to love and our capacity to heal.

We have it in us.

So far as astrology can provide a tool, a key, a window or a mirror, I will do my best to bring that to you. These readings will be presented in written, audio and video formats, with original music by Vision Quest.

Please stay tuned for INTELLIGENCE part one, the 2019-2020 annual edition of Planet Waves.

With love,
