The Planetary Planner includes an audio option—if you’d rather take in my yammering through your headphones while walking, driving, feeding the birds or making coffee, tap the play button at the top of the post and the entire piece will read itself aloud… sometimes the sky is best absorbed with your eyes closed.

There’s a peculiar kind of quiet that isn’t actually quiet… it hums, it lingers in the background like a room where something just happened—or is about to—but hasn’t quite declared itself yet. And that’s exactly the territory we’re stepping into now… this strange planetary breather between May 9 and May 14.

Because here’s the thing: the sky is not empty.

Far from it…

The Planetary Planner is a reader-supported publication. Free gets the hint. Paid gets the whole damn story. If it’s hitting… stop playing small—upgrade today.
