What is Truth, Telling the Truth, and is a Half Truth A Lie?

by Robert Wilkinson

A dear friend of mine wrote me the other day about a moral dilemma troubling her. She asked: "Is there ever a situation when bending the truth is necessary for the well being of a person or group of people?" There were layers to her question which deserve consideration. This is a major dilemma for all who know more than they can say, as well as all who are called to say something truthful even when it looks like it will lead to a major problem. If you're interested in my response, read on.

A New Look At Mercury Retrograde in Aquarius in February-March 2007 - What Is It Good For?

by Robert Wilkinson

In a recent article, I offered some ideas of what we can expect during this Mercury Retrograde in Pisces. This Pisces energy influences the coming months, as will Mercury's time on the very important last 5 degrees of Aquarius through the rest of its retrograde period. Then it moves forward through this span again and re-enters Pisces at the Solar Eclipse of March 18. For the near future, expect signs, signals, and communications related to this time of transfiguration we're all going through one way and another. Now that it's in Aquarius, what is it good for?

by Robert Wilkinson

In a few days we get the first Lunar Eclipse of 2007 at 13 degrees of Virgo-Pisces on March 3 at 3:17 pm PST. 15 days later we experience the first Solar Eclipse of the year at 29 Pisces just before the Vernal Equinox at 5:08 pm PDT on March 20. Both eclipses will shut some old ways of life down forever, leaving us space to embrace the new that is already prepared for us exactly mirroring what we have prepared for up to now. These will shine a light on closures, courage, and transmutation of energies into personality strengths in our process of "escaping from a narrow destiny," promised by whatever has educated us since September 2006's Solar and Lunar Eclipses.

How Do Inferior and Superior Conjunctions With The Sun Relate To Mercury Retrograde?

by Robert Wilkinson

Mercury, the principle of Mental Coordination, and the Sun, the Life principle itself, do a unique dance. Each year they conjunct three times in a "Superior" conjunction, when Mercury is faster than the Sun, and three times in an "Inferior" conjunction, when Mercury is retrograde. These each have importance in the relationship of Life to Mind in our yearly affairs, and so for your consideration, "Mercury retrograde and the Superior and Inferior Conjunction"

A New Look At Mercury Retrograde in Pisces in February 2007 - What Is It Good For?

by Robert Wilkinson

I'm often asked what Mercury retrograde is good for. We all know we're NOT supposed to sign contracts, make purchases of electronics, make major moves or decisions, and are supposed to hang out with the energies, seeing that things may not be as they appear, and so on. That said, there is much that a Mercury retrograde period is good for, such as traveling, research, and other important things.
