Astrology of the Future - What's Up for 2008-2012

by Robert Wilkinson

Well, one thing's for sure - the next several years we'll see a hot time on planet Earth, with a lot of changes forcing us all to adapt in big ways. Whether it's "good" or "bad" is in the eye of the beholder, yet if we find the right way of viewing what we can and cannot do in the present and future, it'll all make sense as we surf the tides leading to 2012 and beyond. A new era is upon us, and our positioning is everything.

A New Look At the Mayan Calendar, 2012, the Tzolkin Long Count, and the End of Time

by Robert Wilkinson

While perusing the archives, I found this gem written some time ago extensively exploring the "Mayan calendar" currently being cited as indicating the end of time on December 21, 2012. I found that the Dreamspell "Mayan calendar" being used is NOT the true Mayan calendar, was never used by the Maya, and is only somewhat related to the original way the Maya recorded time. If you're wondering what the Mayan experts have to say about 2012 being "the end of time," read on.

Why and How We Do or Don't Get Along With Each Other

by Robert Wilkinson

Today we revisit a crucial factor in astrology, the compatibility of our charts with other charts. There are many ways to approach how we relate to other beings, whether through the composite chart (the midpoints of any two charts) or what is called Synastry, showing how one chart fits into another chart. I also explain why the timing in the Marriage chart is of extreme importance in showing us future trends and crucial points of shift in how that marriage will unfold.

Astrology Stress Zones for September 2007 Pt.2 - Mars stimulating Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces

by Robert Wilkinson

Mars activates and accelerates the pace of events in our lives. People currently going through dynamic activity, a hectic fast-paced period, or having the hardest time the first half of September are Geminis born the second week of June, Virgos born the second week of September, Sagittarians born the second week of December, and Pisces born the second week of March. If you were born in these zones, focus on what constitutes responsible action, given these birth periods show more highly agitated energy than usual. The second half of the month this applies to the mentioned signs born the third weeks of those months, and the very end of the month it applies to March Aries, June Cancers, September Libras, and December Capricorns.

Astrology Stress Zones Predictions for September 2007 Pt. 1 - Mars in Gemini Opposing Pluto Slowing Toward Retrograde in Cancer

by Robert Wilkinson

Mars triggers whatever happens of note in our charts. In September 2007, Mars moves from 16 Gemini through 1 Cancer, triggering a critical turning point in the first of three oppositions to Pluto through March 2008. An early square to Uranus and a Mutable T-square involving Mars opposition Pluto both squared by the Sun from September 14-23 promise to break a lot of stuff loose, bringing endings and peculiar circumstances in a weird movie. Remember that we have two irrationality patterns at play right now, so be adaptable and learn as much as you can from shifting circumstances and strange turns of events.

The Solar and Lunar Eclipses of August and September 2007

by Robert Wilkinson

Since it's the topic du jour, I figured I'd pull my Eclipse articles together so you don't have to pick through the archives. One thing I've noted - there is a lot of "doom and gloom" out there about eclipses. While they do bring about endings, those finalities need to happen so we can have the space to move on. We can see the direction we need to move toward through what choices we're offered when confronted with challenges to transform.

We all have to deal with unhelpful thoughts and feelings from time to time. It's human, it's natural, but we still have to find ways to deal with them when they pop up. Today's article provides some insights that can help us transmute self-destructive behavior patterns.

Intercepted Planets, Signs, and Houses - How Do They Work, and What Do They Mean?

by Robert Wilkinson

While going through the archives, I stumbled on a comment about intercepted signs and planets and realized I had never done an article about this common but little understood phenomenon. Almost everyone born above a certain latitude has intercepted signs, while those born closer to the equator almost never have them. So let's have a look into what these can indicate in a chart.

The Transiting Lunar Nodes, and How They Influence Events

by Robert Wilkinson

Continuing to explore the influence of the North and South Nodes of the Moon, today we take a new look at how the Nodes are an influence in transits and therefore eclipses. There is a substantial difference between how they work in the Natal, Progressed, and Solar Return charts and how they work as transiting factors interacting with other transiting planets.
