This Week on Planet Waves FM Our Wild World, Mars Stationing Direct and The Tunguska Incident Dear Friend and Listener: In this first Planet Waves FM of the season [play episode here], I offer a dramatic interpretation of the wild headlines that are flying past our news feeds: The United States Senate approving assault weapons for domestic terrorists, billionaire Donald Trump's campaign is broke, top cops in Oakland and New York City busted, the Stairway to Heaven lawsuit and the "Brexit" vote -- the U.K.'s referendum on quitting the European Union.
This is Mars direct in Scorpio, so Mars will be taking all that Scorpionic energy for a ride around the solar system the next two years. As mentioned, if you missed the spring reading and are wondering what the holy heck has been happening to you the past 10 weeks, here's a way to find out. In the third segment, in honor of my closing song, I describe what is known as the Tunguska event -- a meteor that exploded above Siberia around this time of year in 1908. I read the chart, and play an incredible piece of music by the incomparable Alan Parsons. Other music for this edition is by Alison Moyet, formerly of Yazoo. I plan to take next week off from Planet Waves FM, in honor of Mars direct and taking a little breather. The weekly horoscope, Planet Waves TV and a surprise new feature will all be prepared in advance and will be published on schedule. Planet Waves is sponsored by your subscriptions.

 This Week on Planet Waves Note: Both Judith Gayle and Rob Moore have discontinued their columns on Planet Waves for individual reasons. We wish them all the best for the future, with love. -- The Editors  Today's edition of Planet Waves TV looks at the combination of summer solstice and Sagittarius Full Moon that we're now experiencing. Eric also offers offer additional preparation for Mars stationing direct in Scorpio on June 29. That's coming up fast -- get ready. Please subscribe to our YouTube channel.  "Were you to skip all the rationales about what you are and are not supposed to do, and what is supposedly appropriate, how would you answer the question: who do you want?" Eric discusses the 'trifecta' of the Sagittarius Full Moon, the Cancer Solstice and Mars stationing direct within ten days of one another.  Recent events have lots of people wanting to retreat into a metaphorical shell of some kind; to protect the tender parts of ourselves with some form of armor, or to turn the hard parts of ourselves toward the world. Leading the full edition, Amanda Painter explains we need to stay present in our sensitivity.  At a loss for words after the Orlando nightclub massacre and feeling detached and numb, Amanda Moreno describes her realization that, this time, it is her community that was targeted. And that perhaps the biggest stand she can take is to keep loving and to keep being wildly and unapologetically herself.  With the shootings in Orlando, Florida, and in Britain under the lights of the summer solstice and the Full Moon, Fe Bongolan asks if we are ready to test our resolve while facing our fears. We need to embrace more complexity in our lives to stem hatred. What will it take to set fear aside and grow?  Our new astrological season carries with it an imperative to adapt to its climate by adjusting who you are and what you are doing -- whether the motivation to change comes from inside or out. Len Wallick describes the relationship of Mars in Scorpio stationing in aspect to Uranus and Eris in Aries.  Even the witty, subtle Jane Austen found space in her final completed novel Persuasion to take a dig at obese people. Two hundred years later, Amy Elliott notes that media stereotyping is disgracefully unchanged -- and she's had enough. This article is a rant from a fat lady who is finally unapologetic.
