Brussels, June 30, 2006

Dear Friend and Reader:

After six+ weeks on the road, I've just arrived back in Brussels.

At this point, I'm about eight hours behind schedule, and could either throttle things up and come out with an edition of Planet Waves Weekly later today, or slow down the universe just a little bit and hold off till Monday.

I'm going to take the second option, and wish you a pleasant weekend -- which (for USA readers) it seems I'll see you more in the middle of given that Tuesday is the 4th. I've got a Mercury retrograde piece cooking, and I'm also taking a look at the two pretty hefty decisions issued by high courts in both the UK and the USA regarding government powers in the "war on terror" -- Jupiter-Chiron-Saturn stuff.

From a news standpoint, both Jude and Steve Bergstein have been having a great time in their blogs, Political Waves and Psyshsound, respectively, which cover the basics from a reality-based standpoint:

I've got a short review of Richard Tarnas's new book on Astrology Secrets Revealed, as well as some questions on Neptune and Saturn:
