Monday, Nov. 28, 2005 I SOMETIMES WONDER what it's like showing up at Planet Waves for the fist time -- is it more like picking up a strange, interesting magazine in the waiting room of a bus station on another planet, or dreaming something odd and unfamiliar, or getting beamed aboard a space ship for a long astrology class? For me and quite a few people who have helped create Planet Waves over the years, this Web page has definitely been a journey. Contributors come from around the world, spanning 10 time zones, from Seattle to the Ukraine. If you're new to the project, I'd like help orient you a little, just so you have an idea of what's available. First of all, there's a lot of astrology. This comes in the form of horoscopes (on the horoscopes homepage, above) and articles (which are on the articles & archives page, also above), organized in reverse chronological order; and in archeological layers of the project. All of 2005's articles will come up right away; you'll see prior years if you look around. You're more likely to find what you're looking for by accident than by design. You may notice a specialty on minor planets, asteroids and new discoveries. The astrology you'll find here is more the spiritual and psychological kind, rather than the predictive kind. Articles on Planet Waves range from astrological analysis of the news, to articles on sexuality, personal growth, some stuff on the arts and music, and basically whatever I happen to be writing about at the time. There is a bit of erotica, a bit of science fiction, some poetry and quite a few personal essays by many writers, particularly from the 2001-2003 stage of the project. Next is photography. That's a new feature begun in 2005, though we've always had plenty of artwork. But my own obsession with taking pictures set in at full strength in January, and there's a good assortment of work by other photographers if you look. There are two galleries linked above. Give them a few moments to load and click on the slideshow for a journey through time, and around the world. We have a subscriber section that includes a weekly horoscope and a couple of other monthly horoscopes. This is called Planet Waves Weekly. It includes three years of searchable archives (including horoscopes), hundreds of essays and birthday reports, and much else besides. Your subscriptions get you a great (twice) weekly service by email and on the Web, and support the whole Planet Waves project from top to bottom, including the Astrology Secrets Revealed column on Cainer.com. Here's a little of what our readers have said this year:     http://planetwavesweekly.com/feedback.html Planet Waves Weekly is organized nicely, searchable and is always on top of the latest news, both in Heaven and on Earth. And it's delivered right to you. Thanks for tuning in!! Enjoy your stay, and we hope to see you back soon. I like to think there's something for almost everyone at Planet Waves. Have fun...!
