It was a big weekend...what did you do?

1 week ago | planetwaves.substack.com | Eric Francis Coppolino

This past weekend, we experienced generational astrology — Saturn changed signs into Aries, Chiron lined up with Eris for the first time since 1972, and we moved through the New Moon in Gemini. What did you do? What did you notice? What did you feel? Were you aware of this astrology in advance? This is an open thread to describe your experiences…you are invited to share.
Astrology of ChatGPT

1 week ago | planetwaves.substack.com | Eric Francis Coppolino

Good afternoon. In this edition I have an overview of the astrology of ChatGPT. Before I read that, I pay homage to the chart for ARPANET, which is functionally the beginning of the internet. Then I take apart the chart for the public release of ChatGPT. Because we are investigative reporters and astrologers, we are usually on top of this kind of thing — and Cindy Tice Ragusa was. She knew this was going to be important, and found the time the front page had been updated that morning.
Chiron Conjunct Eris Compilation

1 week ago | planetwaves.substack.com | Eric Francis Coppolino

Good evening from New York —I’ve got some Chiron-Eris information for you. This post includes reprints of a few articles, a couple of videos, and the e-book that came with The Awakening, called The AWA. Look around page 33 for the discussion of Chiron conjunct Eris. The AWA is part of The Awakening, my 2025 annual book, where I do a reading of the Chiron-Eris conjunction and much else. If you want to know how this rare event is likely to be showing up for you, The Awakening is your go-to.

Looking for best-designed astrology websites

2 weeks ago | planetwaves.substack.com | Eric Francis Coppolino

Good morning! I’m seeking your suggestions of the best-looking astrology websites. I know there are not many; oddly, visual design is not really a specialty in our rather visual field of work. We’re working on a new design for Planet Waves and I’m interested in knowing what a kind of “standard” is, if such a thing exists. What are the basic conventions people are expecting and who does them stylishly?

This video is an early release connected to the May 22 Planet Waves publications. Please, if you like, please like; and please subscribe to the PW channel as part of project 5,000. Good evening — I inadvertently left two points out of this video. One is that this pattern describes significant available potential on the individual human realm. Jupiter entering Cancer stands for the power to use feelings — the ability to sense, and sensus communus — as a way of staying in contact with one’s humanity.
What is a centaur planet?

2 weeks ago | planetwaves.substack.com | Eric Francis Coppolino

Good afternoon from New York. In a comment on last week’s video about the family patterns, someone said “Aah! Finally a coherent definition of a centaur.” In a way that I love to do, I ran with their idea, and on Sunday recorded this video developing the concept of a centaur. The first was said to be Chiron (discovered 1977) but then an earlier discover, Hidalgo (1920) was recategorized as a centaur some time later (I cannot tell when).
The reality of sexual trauma and the paradox of healing

3 weeks ago | planetwaves.substack.com | Eric Francis Coppolino

“When I am healed, I am not healed alone.”—acimDear Friend and Reader:Everyone struggles with sex, by which I mean sex, its associated emotions, and its many results. At least I don’t know anyone who does not, or who has not done so significantly at some time. Most of the struggle is silent; most goes unnamed. Yet some blend of longing, pain, confusion, guilt and shame reside in the back of nearly every psyche, and sometimes bleed out to the front.
