March 5 | Religious Interlude: Marketing Day AS REGULAR readers of this column know, Sunday is held sacred and sanctified for a marketing pitch; the Sabbath of Subscriptions; the day I get to remind you what else we have to offer, and also that Planet Waves and all its related services grow and thrive as a result of our one premium service, Planet Waves Weekly. PWW is the home of my weekly horoscope and birthday report, as well as a Friday series on astrology that ranges from covering your role in world affairs, to my current series on outer planet transits. So far in this series I've covered the Pluto Square, the Uranian opposition and introduced Saturn and Saturn transits, which continues next week. When you subscribe to Planet Waves Weekly, you get the new editions (usually three per week) and you also have instant access to three years of archives with many articles not published on Planet Waves. The outer planet series moves onto Chiron, before taking off in new and exciting directions, particularly as the 3/29 cluster of events unfolds. That series will explore one of the questions we most often hear from our readers about: what should I be doing in the world? In my reading, the events that occur simultaneously with the astrology of 3/29 will focus us on precisely that issue, because it will suddenly become abundantly obvious that our level in the world is shifting; that we need to take involvement to a whole new dimension. A total solar eclipse in Aries, for example, is an ultimate contact point between an individual human consciousness and the world-at-large. Pluto stationing retrograde on the Galactic Core is currently running an intense focus of energy through the planet's consciousness, pushing things toward a potential tipping point. And the progressions in the Cheney/Bush inauguration chart will be making a very loud sound (but hopefully not too loud). These three events happen in the space of about 24 hours and it will be high times for astrojournalism, because we have the angle that you won't read about in Time magazine, the Wall Street Journal, or even the International Quarterly Review of Tap Dancing. Astrology is the place where individual experience and growth, world events, and the collective experience of them all meet. Astrology is where the news of the world, and the news of the cosmos, picks up the thread of your personal story, and you get to weave yourself in. If you are someone who is waking up to your place in the world, or who feels a calling to participate in a greater way, Planet Waves Weekly is for you. You can currently subscribe for just over $1 a week, which is less than the cost of, well, just about anything you might spend money on. For what your monthly cellular bill goes for, we provide you with a full year of service. We do plan to make the maximum subscription term six months shortly, however, so if you would like to subscribe for a year, now is the time. There are two ways to subscribe -- on the Internet, or by calling our office. Both work well; the advantage of using the Net is that you get instant access to the newest materials, and the advantage of calling our office is that you can talk to Chelsea and discover that we are perhaps the ONLY Web site that actually answers the phone; and it's a freephone to boot. If you'd like to call, the number is (877) 453-8265 in the USA or 001 (206) 567-4455 from outside the USA (not a free call). If you would like to sign up on line, you can use this link: http://www.planetwavesweekly.com/sales/home.html And our subscriber feedback is here. No matter what I have to say, when subscribers say it in their own words, it comes out a lot better. http://planetwavesweekly.com/feedback.html I'll be back tomorrow with reader comments in the What To Do series. Thank you for your your subscription, for showing up, for reading my little Sunday sermon and and most of all for doing your part in the world. Yours & truly ERIC FRANCIS Brussels, Belgium PS: Subscriptions are guaranteed. If you EVER feel like it's not worth the money, you can write or call for a refund -- so your investment is a safe one.
