Dear Subscriber:

I'm here with Jude's article for you, called Starting Over.

This week I'm taking the rare opportunity to opt out of a horoscope and essay. For next week I have to write a weekly horoscope for the newspapers, so you'll see one of those. I have an Inner Space for you Tuesday, though it's based on the short annual (expertly excerpted by our copy editor, who has edited my horoscopes for five years); I'll see if we can pull together excerpts of Cosmic Confidential instead.

Which is doing amazing by the way. Thank you, thank you, thank you. And -- you are welcome.

The feedback has been incredible and the extra work -- starting much earlier and finishing about three weeks later -- seems to have paid off. But I think the best is yet to come: everyone who has signed up so far, and who signs up for the next week or so, will have access to the Key Life Transits section. I am designing a way to offer this separately, but for now it's included. These are a series of articles on the big transits we have: Saturn return, Uranian opposition, Pluto square, and a series of Chiron transits. I will likely go in order of the solar system: Saturn, Chiron, Uranus, Pluto.

The articles in Cosmic Confidential cover your astrology by Sun sign. These will cover your astrology by age. I am looking forward to settling down from the wild ride of CC 1.0 and jumping into CC 2.0. We also have some very cool projects slated for the spring. I will of course keep you updated. Meantime, if you're going to upgrade to all 12 signs, extend your Planet Waves subscription and you get CC for the price of lunch.

Reminder, the Full Moon is overnight tonight. I am aware that I said some places it was overnight Thursday to Friday, jumping the gun a little. Please note that correction.

One last: the Planet Waves daily blog has been hot lately. Our article selection has been pretty amazing and traffic is up substantially; our first big jump in quite a while. Here are some of the highlights: a Zelda Rubenstein tribute about to go up; a tribute to J.D. Salinger; an astrological tribute to Howard Zinn; a 69th birthday tribute to my dad; new articles by Len Wallick; and a mock interview of me by Larry King -- all on Daily Astrology and Adventure (that's the official name of our blog).

By the way -- I've been warned off of using my prior (preferred) salutation, "Dear Friend and Reader," because spam catchers catch the word 'friend'. We have this little issue of content filters snagging naughty old Planet Waves, so please beware of that. Check your spam if you don't see us by 10 am ET, and remember, we post to the subscriber area, but for that you need your password.

Remember, we're heading into a Full Moon conjunct Mars retrograde on a Friday night. That means: be cool. Don't just play it cool, actually be cool. Pay attention, watch for crazymakers, and find a constructive, pleasurable and creative way to vent your energy. I'm sure you can think of one.

Yours & truly,
