Astrology Storm Zones of November-December 2006 - What Did We Learn From Venus square Uranus, Mercury square Neptune, and Mars square Saturn?

by Robert Wilkinson

Wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, STOP and congratulate yourselves for making it through one of the tougher, weirder 120+ hour periods of the year. The title aspects says it all, and these are not easy aspects between the inner planets which affect us personally and the outer planets which show forces barely under our control, or not under our control at all. We've now navigated a week of this - What was there to learn?

Saturn, the Ring Pass Not, and Overcoming Limitations

by Robert Wilkinson

We often get hassled by our responsibilities and limitations, yet many of these are directly related to what we are learning about expressing our Higher Self in effective ways, now and for the future. We're always practicing skills and coming to realizations about things that may seem meaningless or futile in the moment, yet these set the stage for abilities we'll have to demonstrate in the future. It all shows us our Dharma, or Higher Truth of Self, related directly to what is called The Ring Pass Not. So today we review the binding force teaching us that some limits are more boon that burden, The Ring Pass Not.

How Jupiter in Sagittarius in 2006-2007 Affects Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces

by Robert Wilkinson

Jupiter in Sagittarius should bring wider horizons, new adventures, new visions of higher truths, and new freedom to us all. Jupiter, the "expansive principle" inside us, "guru" in Sanskrit, teaches us various ways to liberate ourselves as it makes it way through the zodiac. Now that it has entered one of the signs it rules, it will show us one face of its natural energy, Pisces being the other. Since it rules both these signs, expect to see its influence immediately in the areas in our charts influenced by Sagittarius and Pisces, as well as wherever we have our Jupiter by sign and house.

Sagittarius - Independent Adventurous Fire Spirits

by Robert Wilkinson

December is the month that features the Fire of Sagittarius, and in 2006 we have more Sagittarius planets than usual. When the Sun transits Sagittarius we are challenged to open to a wider view, a greater truth, and a more generous attitude regarding future possibilities. This is the sign of the quest, where the abstract mind opens to a higher reality and ideally finds a more abundant sense of humor and perspective. It is the last sign of Autumn and the harvest of our socialized activity from the past year preparing us for personal power and authority in Capricorn.  The light force is at its yearly minimum, so conserve energy and concentrate on what you need to learn.

Land of Confusion Lyrics and Video

From long ago, one of the strongest musical statements ever made. The Spitting Image puppet masters created brilliant caricatures of everyone from Ronald and Nancy Reagan to Michael Jackson, Margaret Thatcher, Bette Midler and Henry Kissinger to use in this song, resulting in a masterpiece. It excoriated the Reagan administration, which gave us the bad seeds of Cheney, Rummy, and the rest. The link to the video and all the lyrics are below the fold. The magnificent Genesis:

I must have dreamed a thousand dreams, Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet, They're moving into the street
Now, did you read the news today? They say the danger has gone away
But I can see the fire's still alight They're burning into the night
There's too many men, too many people Making too many problems
And there's not much love to go around Can't you see this is a land of confusion?

December 2006 Astrological Aspects - Hot Zones, Septiles, Biseptiles, and Quintiles Affecting All Signs

by Robert Wilkinson

The storm zones in December 2006 mainly involve the waxing squares from planets in mid-Sagittarius to Uranus in mid-Pisces, and the conjunctions with Pluto in late Sagittarius. Other than these, only the Moon forms various squares and oppositions to the planets, helping us to release the generally favorable aspect energy productively, since planets in late Sagittarius make quintiles to Uranus and trines to Saturn even though they are conjunct Pluto. This should yield unique gifts and qualities while stabilizing the new Saturn expressions in our lives.

Manly P. Hall on Growth, Religion, and Divine Energy

by Robert Wilkinson

Through a maze, I was led back to something I wrote a year ago by the great American Sage, Manly P. Hall, on Illumination, Self-Realization, beliefs and how they relate to the title topics in our human situations. I'm composing more astrological articles on what's up in the near future, but for now here's Manly P. Hall on Self-Unfoldment By Disciplines of Realization. Enjoy, and remember there are LOTS of ways to be "spiritual!"

A Few Thoughts On Global Violence, the Antichrist, and the Future

by Robert Wilkinson

This was part of the comment stream from Affirmations, Thought-Forms, And Changing the Negative Tapes In Our Heads, as relevant today as when I originally wrote it. It was a part of my answer to the question "Any gravitational light to shed on the irrationality taking form today in the middle east?" I started with "Humanity is haunted by its lack of power to control outcomes fueled by fear of the unknown. Our global "leaders" lack imagination, and are utter incompetents in the face of the mindless violence dominating the Middle East, as well as many urban centers globally. Whether armies or gangs, police or militias, the response is brutal and offends humanity's higher sensibilities." Of course there's more...

New Moon in Scorpio November 2006 - What Does It Hold For Each Sign?

by Robert Wilkinson

This New Moon falls at 29 degrees of Scorpio in a very tight conjunction with Jupiter, showing this is the advent of new adventures, new freedom, and new visions of potential futures that are the next steps in "escaping from a narrow destiny" set into motion by the New Moon Solar Eclipse of September 2006. This should be a very favorable New Moon period for the next four weeks, very protective for some, liberating for others. Today we take a brief look at how each individual sign is impacted.

More Weirdness, Important Decisions, and Forks in the Road of Destiny in late November through December 2006 – Sagittarius Biseptiles For Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces

by Robert Wilkinson

In December, all signs will begin to note a significant shift in energies in every area of their lives. It will be the final cleaning up and clearing out of the old Scorpio stuff as everything moves out of that sign into Sagittarius, promising expansions. For those living their Higher Self, a blessed escape from whatever has been conflicted for a year. For villains, things are about to get wild indeed. In any case, it's a new adventure, a new future, and new energies for all!

by Robert Wilkinson

I'm still catching up on things delayed due to my site being hacked so haven't really had time to compose. I'll post a new article soon, but for now please take a new look at an article I wrote about how astrology fits in the life of an "enlightened being." For your renewed consideration, Would Buddha, Christ, or Any Holy Person Be Influenced By Astrology? Enjoy!
