Friday, Oct. 14, 2005        Good evening... HERE'S A KEY to the week's writings, related to Monday's eclipse and other stuff. An essay on the eclipse has been published at http://Cainer.com as the introduction to Astrology Secrets Revealed. It's called, "Hello, Mr. Eclipse." This is the 71st edition of A.S.R., and it's a juicy one. The last entry is an overview of the astrological houses that I've been wanting to write for a long time, plus we've pulled together a sampling of views on the Aries Point, and a few other fun questions. The link to the CURRENT edition is always here (then it gets archived). http://cainer.com/ericfrancis/eric.html We are in a truly astonishing, at times frightening, moment of world history. The eclipse chart is a kind of quantum view of our situation. Today's column makes reference to an article on the secondary progressed Inauguration chart, the chart that goes pop...or rather, the chart that is now going pop...which will be appearing on Planet Waves later in the weekend -- it's still in proofreading and we have to make up the page. This is a preview of the November Planet Waves essay from Chronogram magazine, but it's relevant now because it's based on events that will be precipitated by the Aries eclipse. So look for that in a day or so. Last, well, not exactly now that I look below this paragraph, I've just sent out the Friday edition to subscribers, which has a lead article a piece called "Water Words," on newly discovered planets named after planets with watery themes. Kirsti Melto and I have worked on this article for the past few weeks, and while there was much else to write about (politics, politics, politics), I spent the day yesterday on this article as a wholesome diversion from the madness of the world. For those who are into charts, here are some for you. Presidential Inauguration Charts - original chart, Jan. 20, 2005 - coming soon. http://www.planetwaves.net/charts/lunar_eclipse.html  - Lunar Eclipse with Uranians.
