Venus Square Neptune, Sun Opposition Pluto, Mars Conjunct Saturn Square Jupiter, and Uranus Stationary Retrograde

by Robert Wilkinson

We've entered the storm zone, so heads up and stay aware of this sequence of heavy duty aspects over the next week. The Venus square Neptune crested this morning, showing us the winds of destiny and forms of future blessings. It will take courage to "part the curtains leading to a sacred pathway," and enter into the unknown. Find a way of connecting to the source of life and light, strengthen your self-discipline, deepen your insight, and hold on to your great realizations while cultivating self-confidence through forms of purification, however that applies to your life.

Summer Solstice 2006 - It's Another Grand Fixed Cross Affecting All Signs July, August, and September

by Robert Wilkinson

The Summer Solstice this year falls on June 21 at 5:26 am PDT. It's the longest day of the year, and said to be the point at which "free will" acts more powerfully than any other time of the year. It is a point of decision, and kicks off Summer, the season of work, play, productivity, and lots of sunshine for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere. For those people down under, remember to have a little compassion for us up here in the north when December 21, the Winter Solstice, rolls around and we're freezing while you're enjoying the beach! What follows are some hints as to what we all can expect to experience over the next 3 months, regardless of where we live.

Mars Conjunct Saturn Square Jupiter Affecting Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces

by Robert Wilkinson

This initiates a major new cycle of activity for all signs, depending on which house it falls in, and how many planets you have in Aries, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, or Pisces. This series of aspects is already beginning to show its influence, and while the Mars part of the equation passes by June 22, we will be living with the Jupiter square Saturn for some time to come, and Neptune part of this powerful T-square will become more evident as the Summer rolls into Autumn. More about its impact on different generations at this link. For the next week and a half, though, Mars begins intense activity and activates some long term Saturn energies while releasing and/or blocking some Jupiter energies, which impacts all signs in huge ways.

Angels, Devas, Healing, and Group Work

by Robert Wilkinson

Today’s post from The Magic of Space will prove to be of interest to my readers on a healing path, whether healing themselves or healing others as a function of their worldly work and spiritual service. From Chapter 27, "Group Work," comes this gem:

It should be noted here that in true "group work," the highest phase of the work is that done between groups of disciples and groups of Devas, the groups of various Beings from the higher planes of existence. [Deva in Sanskrit is roughly equivalent to Angel in English - RW]

How To Deal With The General Weirdness of The Grand Irrationality

by Robert Wilkinson

This grew out of a conversation with a friend a while ago, and it's more relevant today than ever. If you're wondering why things are so weird right now, and there are many people and situations that don't make a lot of sense, well, it's been that way for a while, and will be for some time to come. The trick is to learn how to function effectively within the great weirdness without losing our balance and perspective. There are many I know who because of irrational or compulsive behavior on the part of others have had to radically re-evaluate which relationships are really working right now.

Light On The Path - Three Eternal Higher Truths

by Robert Wilkinson

This is from one of the oldest books on the planet. As was written in the Introduction about 100 years ago, "…the first form in which we see it is smaller yet. It is a palm leaf manuscript, old beyond computation; so old that even before the time of Christ men had already forgotten its date and the name of its writer, and regarded its origin as lost in the mists of prehistoric antiquity." It was translated from Senzar into Sanskrit, then from Sanskrit into Greek at the time of the Alexandrian mystery schools, and from Greek into English in 1885. I have read and re-read this work countless times in over 30 years, and with each reading I understand its wisdom in a new light.

The Horoscope of Laura Bush

by Robert Wilkinson

Laura Bush has a Sun in Scorpio, Taurus Ascendant, and Moon in Pisces. The outstanding feature in her chart is Sun conjunct Jupiter in Scorpio, showing her to be fairly lucky, protected, and imaginative. She believes more in what a person does than what they say, which probably is making her an unhappy camper right now, given that if character is her "god," she cannot be pleased with the behavior of her husband the Incompetent-In-Chief, who has shown he has zero character and lousy morals, besides being very unstable and meanspirited. Whatever we're not being told by the press, there are some tensions going on around the Bush home.

The June 2006 Full Moon – Transformation, Genius, and the Busting of Illusions

by Robert Wilkinson

The Full Moon of Sun in Gemini and Moon in Sagittarius is a very important point in the year cycle, as it releases the energies of renewal and rebirth of the Full Moon in Aries-Libra that were concentrated in the Wesak Festival Full Moon of Taurus-Scorpio. This Full Moon occurs on Sunday, June 11, 2006, at 11:03 am PDT, and falls at 21 Gemini-Sagittarius. Until then, we have several very powerful aspects that will assist many, and freak out a few. After then, more of the same.

Karl Rove - Full Moon Machiavellian Betrayer of America

by Robert Wilkinson

Karl Rove is one of the most destructive, machiavellian political figures ever to disgrace our country. A destroyer of reputations, he is a legend at attacking his opponent where they are strongest, and will not hesitate to use every dishonest means to achieve his disgusting ends. Though we do not have his exact time of birth, we can do a Solar chart for December 25, 1950, for Denver, CO, and get a very accurate sense of what is, and is in store, for this corrupt man at the pinnacle of power.

The I Ching on the Superior Being and the Inferior Being, and things to consider as we face the future

by Robert Wilkinson

From our old friend the venerable I Ching, a few words about discerning what is valuable or not, and the difference between the Higher Self and the ego. This ancient repository of Chinese wisdom written by Confucius is an amazing friend, having never given me bad advice in over 30 years. Not a bad track record. From Hexagram 27, Providing Nourishment: "If we wish to know what anyone is like, we have only to observe on whom he bestows his care and what sides of his own nature he cultivates and nourishes." Read on for some pearls of pure wisdom.
