The Partial Solar Eclipse of September 11, 2007 - A Virgo T-Square Showing Movement To Come Offering Relief

by Robert Wilkinson

This Partial Solar Eclipse falls at 19 Virgo, showing we're all about to be educated on a practical level, learning through forms of "right actions" the value of various techniques of COOPERATION. Since this Solar Eclipse falls conjunct the South Node and in the same sign as Saturn, expect "liberating ordeals" to show you ways to "hear the call" and launch distant or visionary projects you need to in the future. That Mercury in Libra rules the Solar Eclipse is a very good thing, since ultimately our changes will bring us relief from old tensions.

The Solar Eclipse - What Does It Mean and How Do They Affect Our Lives

by Robert Wilkinson

Though it is still a few weeks off, today we revisit an article on the influence of The Solar Eclipse. These are important "footprints in time," as they set many things into major motion, shutting down some of the "lights" in our lives while opening us to other distant "lights," thus creating needed space for our personal evolution. They are not to be feared, though they do bring radical change and life transformations.

Spiritual Astrology in September-October 2007 affecting Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces - Part 3

by Robert Wilkinson

In Parts 1 and 2 we explored general Spiritual factors of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto bringing forth our Higher Self as we stand individually and collectively at the threshold of a new era. I offered points of particular importance due to major aspect patterns going on in September and October. Today we continue to explore more about the pressure we're under and within, what it means, and how this is impacting certain signs directly.

Spiritual Astrology in September-October 2007 Pt. 2 - Uranus Retrograde and Pluto Direct Affecting Long Term Eclipse Patterns, with Neptune Retrograde Bringing Gifts from Spirit

by Robert Wilkinson

With Uranus and Neptune retrograde, we continue to review these "spiritual" forces at work since the threshold states of April through June. Pluto direct early in September and Neptune direct the end of October prepares us to retrace this ground one more time the next few months before they enter unknown zones early 2008. Uranus is still binovile Pluto, offering ways to see the common basis for divergent realizations. In September and October Neptune will manifest rewards from Spirit resulting from our appreciation and gratitude, while Uranus brings rebirth and inspiration in quiet moments.

Spiritual Astrology in September-October 2007 Pt. 1 - Jupiter Biseptile Saturn Exteriorizing Forces of Destiny

by Robert Wilkinson

Jupiter and Saturn translate the energies of the outer Invisible Triad into widespread social influences within which our personalities operate in local conditions, however wide or narrow our field of influence. They are now in the heart of a long term biseptile, and When these two powerhouses are in biseptile, major changes are set into motion globally on every level imaginable. That's why things seem crazier than usual right now, and there is a constant "hard edge" to our world. Expect radical decisions to be made these next weeks that make no sense, but will show us a larger destiny for a long time to come.

The Secret to Making Our Thoughts and Affirmations More Effective

by Robert Wilkinson

Today we take a new look at a subject of great importance in helping us end negative thinking and unhelpful mental patterns that frustrate us and only lead to wheel spinning. This will be even more important as Saturn enters Virgo, since precision in thinking leads to precision in what presents itself.

Talks on the Eclipses in Santa Monica

I know it's short notice, but I did tell you I would be giving this talk tomorrow, August 26, at talks and workshops. Canio's looks like it's going to be in October, and I'll fill you in on the yet-to-be scheduled European trip when the "storm surge" around my on-going move to New Mexico gives me a break. If you're in the LA area, please show up at 10 am for the talk on the Full Moon, and stay for more on the eclipses.

Astrology Now - Slow Down and Take it Easy as Mercury in Virgo Squares the Mars-Jupiter Opposition in Gemini-Sagittarius

by Robert Wilkinson

We're now solidly in an extreme zone where Mars at 11 Gemini exactly opposes Jupiter at 11 Sag. This challenges us to keep our perspective and avoid risky schemes, but also is a point at which long term Jupiter in Sag initiative and visions are finally coming to surface and getting kicked into high gear. This will favorably impact all points around 9-13 Aries, Leo, Libra, and Aquarius, so build what you can since it's a very dynamic powering-up in these spans.

Understanding The Virgo-Pisces August 28, 2007 Lunar Eclipse Effects Pt. 2 - Scientific and Spiritual Approaches

by Robert Wilkinson

Today we continue our examination of what the coming Virgo-Pisces total Lunar Eclipse holds for our world. As it builds on yesterday's analysis, you may want to re-read that before picking this one up, since I discuss the Grand Fixed Cross effect, as well as the different rising signs around the world at the times they experience the Eclipse. It's definitely a volcanic effect in the making, so get ready to rock and roll!

Long Range Astrology - The August 2007 Lunar Eclipse in Virgo-Pisces and What It Means

by Robert Wilkinson

In a few days we get the second Lunar Eclipse of 2007 at 5 degrees of Virgo-Pisces on August 28 at 3:35 am PDT (3:37 am according to the NASA site). 14 days later we experience the second Solar Eclipse of the year on September 11 at 19 Pisces just 12 days before the Autumnal Equinox at 2:52 am PDT on September 22. Both eclipses will shut some old ways of life down forever (as all eclipses do), leaving us space to embrace the new already waiting for us exactly mirroring what we've 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," shown by whatever educated us since September 2006's Solar and Lunar Eclipses.

How Saturn in Virgo Affects Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces in 2007-2008

by Robert Wilkinson

Yesterday we discussed how Saturn in Virgo will affect different generations of people, and what to be aware of as we navigate this year and next when this effect will dominate the landscape. Today we will discuss the effect of Saturn in Virgo on each sign. If you know your rising sign, or Ascendant, read that sign as well as your Sun sign.

Astrology Futures of 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 Pt.1 – How Saturn in Virgo Will Affect all signs and generations

by Robert Wilkinson

Today we explore how Saturn in Virgo will affect all of us. This powerful transit is a force majure in its own right, regardless of how any other planet is affecting us. In classical astrology, Saturn is said to be fairly harmonious in the Earth sign of Virgo, as its nature is a combination of the Earth of Capricorn and Air of Aquarius. The mutable quality helps Saturn, since it's Cardinal (initiating) and Fixed (stabilizing) and can use the adaptability of the Mutable Virgo. Let's examine what its process has offered us the past few years, and what we'll be learning in the 2+ years to come in Virgo.

Comments

Hi all - As you can see, I've tried to answer as many comments as I could. Since some of yours slipped off the sidebar while I was on the road, I lengthened the list so you can track my answers to your questions. For now I must stop (been at it for almost three hours!) but I'll return to answer more later on.

You Have The Power to Overcome Difficulty, Misfortune, Confusion, and Bad Life Situations

by Robert Wilkinson

Well, we do if we find the right point of view. We often fall into funky head spaces and start feeling badly, which of course compounds the problem, since unhelpful thoughts and feelings seldom lead to positive actions. Today we revisit some articles that can help you if you're struggling to claim your power to change your life for the better.

Manly P. Hall and Higher Consciousness

by Robert Wilkinson

There are few greater lights of the 20th Century than Manly P. Hall. An amazing renaissance man, he was the consumate artist-philosopher and author of more books than most read in a lifetime on some of the most amazing topics you could ever read. For your renewed consideration, Manly P. Hall on Self-Unfoldment By Disciplines of Realization.

Overcoming Fear, Cowardice, and Uncontrolled Feelings

by Robert Wilkinson

Continuing our theme of shining a light on Saturn while trine Pluto, today we take a new look at several articles dealing with the problem of fear, which is after all a very dangerous emotional disease. Once we master our response to this global human problem, we will solve a host of other things in the future, as well as avoid the 10,000 blights that spring from the seeds of fear.

How Do Faith and Works Relate to Astrology?

by Robert Wilkinson

In a follow up to the article "How Astrology Works - Belief Systems and Checks and Balances," today we take a new look at what place our faith, as well as our worldly works, has in the philosphical art and science we know as astrology. For your consideration and perusal, Explaining How Astrology Works Pt.2 - Faith versus Works. Enjoy!

Astrology Class - Dispositors and Planetary Influence

by Robert Wilkinson

Today we take a new look at one of the crucial factors in understanding how Astrology works on a practical level. Dispositorship is a primary factor in how any planet in any sign manifests, as it provides the background material to why the "inner lights" work as they do. Though each of the planets has their areas of influence, how that influence works is entirely dependent on what rules the sign they're in.

Karma and Truth - A View Beyond Time

by Robert Wilkinson

For your renewed consideration, a piece of "An Essay on Karma," culled from one of the oldest books on our planet. I've also included a link to the source book, which is said to be an indispensable guide to complete and total "enlightenment" for those of us on an evolutionary path on Earth.

How Astrology Works - Belief systems and checks and balances

by Robert Wilkinson

This is a reprint of something I wrote concerning how Astrology works, and why belief systems are not an adequate substitute for systems of checks and balances confirming one's hunches or seeing possible errors of assumption. It discusses the relationship of self consciousness, subconsciousness, and superconsciousness, and how to cultivate true intuition, or "inner knowledge."

Will check in to delete spam (you'd think they'd learn!), but for now, enjoy going back through the articles and getting more insights on second and third reading. There are even more articles in queue for later today through next week (And pray to the computer Spirits that my crash is not serious!) Mahalo, Ciao, and Luego.

Radical Changes, A New Age, and Taking Back Our Emotional Power

by Robert Wilkinson

Today I'm reprinting two articles reminding us we are Eternals riding the waves in an ever-changing Earthly existence, figuring out how not to sweat the small stuff. Please take a new look at We Live On the Edge of Change at the Dawning of a New Age. We have a choice how we want to shape our experience even during uncertain times, and this determines whether we’re having a good time or not. To that end, here's Turning Away From Unhelpful Feelings and Taking the Power To Focus On What You Want. Enjoy!

Leo 2007 - Great Hearted Royal Fire Spirits

by Robert Wilkinson

Today we celebrate the shining star that is the sign of Leo, and explore the qualities of this noble, giving, loving, powerful Fire sign that represents the principle of Solar Fire, one of the three cosmic fires that pervade our solar system. We all have this "kingly" or "queenly" royal quality somewhere in our charts, the area where we are the law, the light, and the center of power holding court in our own private solar system. Leo shows us the way to center ourselves in our higher law.

On The Road Again

Will check in later in case I need to delete spam, but I cannot comment for several days. Enjoy the posts I have in queue, and I'll be back as soon as I can. Aum and blessings.

Astrology in August, September, October, and November 2007 - Jupiter Stationary Direct Begins An Adventure For Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces

by Robert Wilkinson

Jupiter is now direct in motion, thus affecting all Sagittarius and Pisces areas of our lives.

It now traverses its retrograde span between now and the end of October, after which it will conjunct Pluto at the Galactic Center before it moves into Capricorn.

Dr. Laura Schlessinger and I Had A Debate On Gandhi Without Meaning To

by Robert Wilkinson

Though many consider her an ill-advised windbag, it was interesting to me that Dr. Laura herself challenged something I posted a while ago about Gandhian philosophy and tactics as viable means to achieve productive social ends in our so-called "modern" society. While wandering through my archives one night, I thought it might be entertaining for you to re-visit an interesting (though admittedly one-sided) contretemps between moi and one of our modern sources of air and consciousness pollution. My article was re-posted by a fan of the site, she responded, and this was my response as a committed Gandhian.

Mars Triggering the Grand Irrationality and What We Can Do

by Robert Wilkinson

Because Mars is now in the late Taurus-early Gemini zone of the Grand Irrationality, I thought it might be good to take a new look at an article concerning how to position ourselves in the midst of the on-going pandemic weirdness of this very irrational energy affecting the whole world.

Astrology of Destiny in August-September 2007 - Jupiter Biseptile Saturn Offering Giant Changes in a Crazy Process

by Robert Wilkinson

Jupiter biseptile Saturn is now exact. Changes are in motion, much that can go askew is going exactly there, and yet many things are revealed by how things are getting done and what momentum is being generated. This is a crucial moment in a long term process, and is showing us how "destiny is in motion" on some very large levels, since Jupiter and Saturn rule large scale social processes on individual and collective levels.

The 21st Century and the New Age - Future Skills, Future Knowledge, Future Worlds

by Robert Wilkinson

Today we explore elements of skills and realizations we "truth seeking Souls" will need in the decades to come. The Earth and humanity are on a "path of return," but it won't happen like magic, and we have an important part to play in restoring sustainability to our world. Though the times ahead will bring us radical change, we can begin to learn what we need to be effective in the years to come.

The New Age - How Can We Best Position Ourselves To Do Well In The Future?

by Robert Wilkinson

We live in an interconnected reality, and stand on the threshold of amazing changes these next few years. Those who will do best will be those who learn to "think in the future," and find their skills they can use in a community, or group setting, that will help all to do better together than they could ever do alone. For your consideration, a larger point of view about The 21st Century - An Age in Transition. Enjoy!
