Dear Readers: It's my long-standing position to oppose the death penalty in any and all cases, regardless of the specifics. This is both a religious and political point of view. Presumably, the death penalty's message is that it's wrong to take life, which is contradicted by the penalty itself. A

Planet Waves is saddened to note the passing of MAYA DEL MAR (1928-2006), astrologer and editor of Daykeeper Journal. Maya, as you will see from her face, was a compassionate, straightforward and no-nonsense astrologer. She was perhaps the best among us at keeping astrology out of the realm o

Numb or Alive IN 1971, John Kerry, as a young man testifying before congress, demanded to know: ''How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?" He was referring to the Vietnam War. In 2006, we need to be asking, "How do you ask someone to be the last person to

Space for Reality THERE is a relationship between physical space and psychic reality. Often, dreams communicate the changes we are going through as metaphors of space, such as a "new addition" on your house or apartment appearing with stunning realism one morning, so real you wak

Farewell, 59 AT SOME POINT when I was living in Paris, a friend named Mona took me for a walk one Saturday afternoon, across the river to the right bank and down Rue du Rivoli. She led me past the high-fashion shoe and clothing shops, though the mob and up to a red, pink and yellow door wi

The week's astrology | Monday, Nov. 13, '006 Dear Readers: Another interesting week arrives...I hope it's working out that way for you. The intensity of five planets in Scorpio, one of them retrograde (Mercury), is a lot for most people to bear. Scorpio remains one of the more mysterio

Thursday, Nov. 9, 2006 It's been a long day. It's been a longer six years. For most people, the political situation in the United States has been something they could turn the page or flip the channel on. For others, it's meant living (or dying) under nonstop bombs, in gunfire and in a haz

Moon > Gemini | Monday, Nov. 6, 2006 The Moon, still full of itself, chit-chats into Gemini. No major aspects today, except a lot of what are called "parallels" -- when planets line up on the same plane of space, rather than at the same longitude. Parallels are like conjunctions turn

Erich Fromm Moment | Nov. 5, 2006 I've been thinking about Erich Fromm lately. Rather than introduce him in my own words, I'll share a couple of paragraphs from his Wiki page. Fromm considered love to be an interpersonal creative capacity rather than an emotion, and he distinguished this creat
