This week is under the beams of the New Moon of May 16 at 26 Taurus, stimulating that house in our charts and any aspects made by the New Moon to our natal planets. The big news is that the Sun enters Gemini, which will shift our transiting Saturn lessons, and Neptune going stationary retrograde marks a major sea change in our lives and the lives of nations, collectively speaking.

Why Is There So Much Fear Right Now, and What Can We Do About It?

by Robert Wilkinson

Well, the first thing is not to yield to it, or give it any more reality than it is due, which is none. Fear is a natural response, but also a learned one. There are very few things we natually fear, but there are many things we've learned to fear, like being alone, being with someone, being unloved, not making enough money to live and thrive, being fired, evicted, or cut loose without resources. In all of these cases, action speaks louder than feeling fear! There are always things we can do to transmute fear, but we must act on them if we are to have any sense that our practice of overcoming fear is more real than the fear we feel.

Spiritual Astrology in 2007 - Pluto Conjunct Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, or Saturn Pt. 2

by Robert Wilkinson

All Pluto touches goes through long term radical transformation. It can feel dark and mysterious, and at times very threatening. It is the embodiment of Bob Dylan's famous line, "And you know something's happening here but you don't know what it is, do you, Mister Jones?" Pluto symbolizes Transpersonal Transfiguration, and purifies all it touches by annihilating obsolete forms. That's why it is such a constantly overwhelming sense of something impending, usually a feeling of "doom," where we know we have a journey to make through an unknown zone unable to see what's on the other side.

Spiritual Astrology in 2007 - Pluto Conjunct Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, or Saturn Pt. 1

by Robert Wilkinson

Pluto is the Great Purifier. It tends to stay awhile in each sign as it moves through its approximately 250 year cycle, so its effects are far reaching and long lasting. Being an outer invisible planet, it works on the Transpersonal dimension of human experience, and as an absolute Force Majure, it's not something we negotiate with, or postpone, or avoid. The effects of a Pluto transit are irrevocable, and completely transform what it touches through its power of Divine Purification.

Happy Birthday to "American Man-Meat" Steven Colbert - with Videos

by Robert Wilkinson

A most enthusiastic Happy 43rd Birthday to Steven Colbert, born May 13, 1964. With a razor wit and playful (and verrry pointed!) satire, he brings a refreshing humor to America's airwaves through "The Colbert Report" thanks to Comedy Central. This master of "nailed you" has consistently high quality guests who participate in some of the weirdest political commentary imaginable, and sometimes it gets very surreal (like every time he has Jane Fonda or Eleanor Holmes Norton on!) His recent show featuring Willie Nelson and Richard Holbrook was a true stroke of genius.

Happy Mother's Day 2007

by Robert Wilkinson

A Happy Mother's Day to everyone! This day honors all mothers everywhere, and their mothers, and their grandmothers back to the beginning of time. It has an interesting history and intention which has nothing to do with the modern commercial form of this celebration of mothers. In fact, it is truly a day that calls for pacifism and disarmament.

by Robert Wilkinson

This week continues the influence of the recent Full Moon of Taurus-Scorpio, a.k.a. the Wesak Festival that has opened everyone on Earth to a new form of compassion to accept or demonstrate.

Reflections From the Heart of a T-Square

by Robert Wilkinson

When first learning astrology, I read "squares and oppositions are bad; sextiles and trines are good." As I became more proficient my pre-set beliefs gave way through observing phenomena that didn't fit established ideas about these aspects. It helped that Grant Lewi offered that squares and oppositions are important turning points in a process transcending all the aspects, yet where each aspect has its special place and function in the greater whole that is the entire 360 degree cycle of experience.
