From time to time I figure it's a good thing to reintroduce some articles to readers who may not have had the patience to comb the archives for these gems. Today we have some good ones.

Practical Astrology in October-November 2007 - What is Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio Good For?

by Robert Wilkinson

There are many things that are favored while Mercury is retrograde, despite the general opinion that it leads to massive confusion, miscommunication, and things going everywhere and nowhere all at once. Usually the week just before and after the beginning of the period is most difficult for people, and yet if you know how to adjust your sense of timing, you'll see things fall into place in ways you never suspected.

Libra 2007 - Idealistic Peacemaking Air Spirits

by Robert Wilkinson

When the Sun transits Libra, we are shown the light of entering into relationships, ideals, partying, and other pleasing social forms. It's the beginning of Autumn, with its focus on harvesting that which is agreeable to us, socializing and connecting with a greater "perfect vision" while seeing the endings in the old forms of our lives. Libra is self-initiating, interactive, and tries to see all the different points of view in any situation. The Sun in Libra shines the light of wisdom on how we must be fair, balanced, and well-rounded in our ideal of justice, opening us to living a greater image of truth, goodness, and beauty.

Yadda Yadda Warden - Happy 82nd Birthday to Saint Lenny Bruce

by Robert Wilkinson

Today we honor a true social conscience on his birthday. Most people don't know it, but we owe the immortal phrase "yadda yadda" to Lenny Bruce, the saint who died for our right to utter the famous "7 dirty words" of George Carlin. He was persecuted for exposing society's hypocrisies and racism, and one of the first ones to lay it all out there.

The Dalai Lama and Al Gore

I'm off for classes in NYC with the first, and glad to see the second just won the Nobel Peace Prize. I'll be checking back in to delete spam, but probably won't be answering comments or questions for a few days. Getting high with His Holiness is like that. There are articles that will autopost while I'm in the aethers, but if you start having withdrawal sensations, repeat "Aum Mani Padme Hum" until you find yourself in the space we ALL inhabit. Aum Mani Padme Hum Aum Mani Padme Hum Aum Mani Padme Hum Aummmmmm......

Astrology in 2007 featuring Jupiter in Sagittarius Square Uranus in Pisces - Evolution Revolution NOW!

by Robert Wilkinson

Besides being a song I wrote many years ago, we are in fact in an "evolution revolution" right now, thanks to the Jupiter square Uranus in effect these many months. We were first introduced to this very revolutionary energy in January 2007, again with Jupiter RX in May, and we are experiencing it for the magical third time right now. I've noted a few electronic crashes this week, indicative of larger forces of change in our world. This is fulfilling a long cycle of revolutionary change to broader horizons, adventures, truths, and timeless views.

by Robert Wilkinson

This Mercury retrograde starts 9pm PDT October 11 (October 12 EST and points east) and ends 4pm PDT Nov 1 (Nov 2 UK and points east). This retrograde moves from 10 degrees Scorpio back to 24 Libra, with the inferior conjunction OF Mercury and the Sun occurring 5 pm PDT October 23 (October 24 W. Africa and east) at 1 Scorpio. This degree is said to be "Sightseers In A Bus Strain To See Crowds and Buildings," symbolizing an "appetite for larger things" and "seeing life as a whole." A degree of "Social Intercourse," Rudhyar also says this degree is "...human eagerness to expand one's social horizon and to experience the results of ... new ways of life," referring to a greater realization of "a larger whole of existence- a more encompassing frame of reference," and "a widening of experience."

A Happy Birthday to Saint John Lennon the Beatle - Videos of A Man for All Ages

by Robert Wilkinson

October 9 we celebrate the birthday of a man who gave the world "All You Need is Love," the first global broadcast, and "Give Peace A Chance," the rallying cry that united millions in ending a useless war (yes, "useless war" IS a redundancy!) An orphan with a bad attitude, his life was a miracle journey of ego to the peak of absolute fame, power, and wealth, the crash that inevitably follows, and the redemption of a life through love, appreciation, and respect for inner and outer peace. Musician, author, caricaturist, movie star, hell raiser, rabble rouser, troubled genius and sometimes not a very nice guy, nonetheless he was one of the best of all time. Today we have a LOT of videos of this remarkable man for the ages.
