To My Hardcore Astrology Fans:
Good morning. It’s me again.
With much help and several exciting phone calls last night, I’ve sorted out a perspective on the Charlie Kirk chart. There is a lot going on and I invite you to check it out; I have prepared a formal written response to the chart, not my usual spirituality-infused missive. Tap the chart above or this link.
Please pass this package forward to other astrology fans or working astrologers.
I’ll be taking this matter up tonight on Planet Waves FM under the theme of violence as the quest for identity — and how you really have to stop and observe if you want to know what’s going on in our disembodied, generative A.I.-dominated world.
This chart has Neptune pumping propane. It’s fog on fire.
Notes from the Student Movement
As many of you know, I was deeply involved covering student movements (and organizing student press) in the 1980s and 1990s so I have something to add about Charlie Kirk’s meteoric rise from claimed student leader (never elected to anything) to national public figure to presidential advisor.
(We saw such a thing this one other time, with Karl Rove, “Bush’s Brain,” who went from president of the College Republicans to special advisor and babysitter to Baby Bush. But at least Rove held organiztional roles and made his way up. Kirk seems to have been appointed and was never elected; and his money came from off campus. Were Kirk on the left, he would be called an “outside agitator” on campuses.)
There is a precedent — a big one — for CIA involvement in the student movement. Check out this famous article from Ramparts in March 1967. Note that in this context, NSA stands for “National Student Association,” not the venerated federal agency.
Planet Waves FM has its own Substack, which is part of the journalism nonprofit Chiron Return. It also has its own website which will now work better since it’s on new managed hosting. The show usually goes up at about 8 pm Friday nights.
We are updating Ice Nine News every night. This is our hand-curated news feed, with editorial decisions made by a team of four humans and NO robots. Yes that’s right, Lizzy whose other job is making tortillas, Shawn who chases porcupines up trees, J.J. who is an executive at an A.I. firm and your faithful editor are pulling this together.
Liz is the sensitive type of editor who wants the blog to be just right every night and then chooses a beautiful picture, usually of something in Mexico. If she could, she would serve muffins and hot coco. It might seem amazing that someone, anyone, anywyere cares enough to do this — and that I’m willing to pay for it (mostly with your donations).
But that’s Planet Waves. That’s what we do and who we are. We, as in all of us.
If you want to contribute to the cause because we’re doing this thing that nobody else is doing, you may upgrade your subscription to this Substack or donate to the journalism nonprofit Chiron Return. It will be the most satisfying $10 a month or $100 a month or $1000 a month you’ve ever spent.
Your faithful astrolover,
