After the terrorist attacks on America during Sept. 11, 2001, we immediately began running important astrological stories on the main Index page of the Great Bear/Planet Earth Astrology web site. In addition, we are preparing a magazine-style look and feel to this web site. This will include color charts, photos, graphics, and a variety of astrology services, many of them brand new.

Many of you know that after nearly 20 years of in-print publication, service to the greater astrological community, and with a number of medical challenges within our family and the general downturn in the economy, we are shifting our focus toward placing WTPE magazine online. This has a number of advantages over the print world. For instance: the ability to use plenty of color, charts and graphics; the ability to post new stories weekly and, in the near future, daily; having greater and qucker interaction with all our readers.

However, there is a NEW astrology newsletter beginning Fall 2004 (in print and to be sent via airmail]. You will need to subscribe to this newsletter ($45 for a 1-year subscription of 8 editions if you are sending in a check; it is $55 if you order by credit card] and more information is available on the main Index Page. To keep moving forward now with EARTH/AQUARIUS NEWS (in print and connected to a special section online] and offering all our services, we need your financial support. Since the whole country is going through a massive shift and there is much fear and worry, we understand how everyone is going through changes. But Welcome to Planet Earth and Earth/Aquarius News will be here -- reporting about what's going on in America, the world, and in our new national/global drive to rid the world of terrorism.

We are asking you to please send, phone or e-mail in any order -- whether small, medium or large -- to help us continue our astrological educational efforts, now internationally through the Internet. Every order will help us stay on course and offer you much improved astrological services in the months ahead. Here are some suggestions for orders.
