Some Important Articles You May Have Missed (and some you didn’t but take a new look anyway!)

by Robert Wilkinson

I’ve posted many articles in the past several weeks full of important info for what we’re going through right now, so today I’ll give you a one stop shop to make it easy. We start with a post on the current Saturn opposition Neptune with both squared by Jupiter, since the Saturn opposed Neptune culminates today. It’s the first opposition of three, so stay focused and be alert to this long term, very peculiar energy.

Ralph Waldo Emerson's Enlightened Transcendentalism

by Robert Wilkinson

Ralph Waldo Emerson was one of the most amazing beings to grace 19th century America, and as I mentioned in this article on communing with the source of Divine inspiration, "he... gave young America intellectual and philosophical credibility and direction." His wisdom is profound, practical, and still very relevant in our irrational world. Today we explore some things he said about "Self-Reliance."

We Live On the Edge of Change at the Dawning of a New Age

by Robert Wilkinson

There is not a moment in life when things are not changing. Though we long for comfort and predictability, still events move forward within the medium we call time. Time is how we measure our experience, our movement between understandings and points of view, and ultimately the means by which we learn to live in the NOW.

August-September 2006 Irrationality Doubled - Saturn Triseptile Uranus

by Robert Wilkinson

In an oversight, I neglected to mention that since mid-August through September 10th, mas o menos, Saturn will be making a triseptile to Uranus, thus compounding the weird irrationality we’re living with. This septile series where we confront important forks in the road is of major importance, since it involves Saturn and Uranus. These planets indicate where our genius and uniqueness must find a structure within which we can grow and evolve. It specifically affects wherever we have Leo, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces.

Dane Rudhyar on Astrology, the Eternal, the Sacred and the Profane

by Robert Wilkinson

Dane Rudhyar, one of the greatest astrologers of all time, said something profound about astrology in the last part of his masterwork, “An Astrological Mandala,” where he reinterpreted the Sabian Symbols used by so many in the craft. Today is a tiny but significant piece from that work.

Mars At Its Brightest, the Size of a Full Moon? Is Pluto "No Longer A Planet?"

by Robert Wilkinson

There seems to be quite a buzz about these two revelations now making the news. What they're not telling you is far more than what they are, so today I figured I'd combine these two topics to give you my take on these late breaking, somewhat bizarre stories.

Creation Mythology, Elohim, and Star Beings

by Robert Wilkinson

John Lennon once sang that we are "super stars." From the Magic of Space, we are told our origins are more noble than imagined, and that we are part of a greater thought-form of a higher spiritual Love-Light by Celestial Beings, some of whom are hinted at in legend, mythology, and holy books. All is consciousness, some greater, some lesser, some solar, some galactic.

The Edge of Major Changes - Things Are About To Get Even Weirder in late August through September 2006

by Robert Wilkinson

This is the equivalent of a "pregnant pause" in cosmic time, with new initiatives coming very soon with the New Moon at 1 Virgo on August 23 (August 24 in Europe and points east.) The New Moon sets seeds into motion for the following few weeks, so try to finish things up for the next two days, sit with the potential on Wednesday, and then move things out into the world on Thursday August 24. Reckless actions will create spectacular crashes after Friday August 25, given the Moon's transit of the Virgo point of the Grand Irrationality recently made active by Mercury's station. This is followed by Venus conjunct Saturn opposed to Neptune at the threshold of the extremely heavy Saturn opposition Neptune in effect for many months to come. When in doubt, do nothing illegal or unethical, as impulsive or extreme actions will lead to destructive consequences.

How To Remember Who You Are And Who You Are Not – Living With the “I and I”

by Robert Wilkinson

Who Are You? Do you know why others can make you lose your equilibrium and you find yourself doing strange things? As you know, dispassion, detachment, discrimination, and genuine Goodwill toward others are the antidotes to the sources of suffering. In today’s offering from the venerable Magic of Space we are offered words of wisdom about how to deal with the part of us that gets confused, angry, whirled around, or spun out.

The Week of August 21-28, 2006 - New Moon in Virgo and Venus Triggering the Fixed T-Square

by Robert Wilkinson

This week starts with an "old Moon," meaning it's a good time to finish old things, but new initiatives should not be pushed until after the New Moon on August 23 at 1 Virgo. In fact, the usual rule is not to start new projects until the Moon is at least one sign away from the Sun, since its fecundative, gestative energies get swamped by the sheer force of the Solar power represented by the Sun. The best part of the week involves Mercury trine Pluto, helping us cut through the bs and get clear about what is and is not true, and bringing us messages and communications related to the Sun trine Pluto "cut to the chase" energies of last week.
