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 December are Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorns born the first few days of April, July, October, and January. The second half of Dec. this applies to March Aries, June Cancers, September Libras, and December Capricorns.

Astrology Stress Zones Predictions for December 2007 Pt. 1 - Mars in Cancer Retrograde Going Very Slow with lots of Oppositions

by Robert Wilkinson

Mars triggers whatever happens of note in our charts. In December 2007, Mars moves from 11 back to 1 degree of Cancer. This month almost exactly mirrors Mars' forward motion in October, so expect returns from that time but seen or done from a different view or approach. As with last month, get used to familiar lessons repeating themselves from new angles. However...

Happy 45th Birthday to One of America's True Funny Guys, Jon Stewart

by Robert Wilkinson

In the spirit of the writer's strike crippling America's access to fake news, irony and satire, today we do a rewritten rerun of a birthday look at the horoscope of "the most trusted name in fake news," host of The Daily Show, Mr. Jon Stewart. This comedic genius was born on November 28, 1962, in New York City. Many bios list him as born in New Jersey, "the Garden State," also known as the toxic dump capital of the US. While he did live there when young, he never grew up there, and now that I think of it, nowhere else either.

Astrology Class - How Does the Full Moon Affect the next Full Moon or New Moon?

by Robert Wilkinson

These occur in an unending sequence, each unique and yet exerting a powerful effect on present and future New and Full Moons, depending on what aspects are made, which points are stimulated, and how they relate to others sharing these points and aspects. This article is another inspired by a question in a comment stream, and gives us much food for thought.

Happy Video Birthday to Jimi Hendrix, Guitar God and Musical Pioneer

by Robert Wilkinson

There's really nothing I could say to add to the legend that is Jimi Hendrix. Today he would have been 65 years old, as impossible as that seems. A star for only 4 years, he changed the face of music forever, not just in terms of guitar sonics, but also through his pioneering use of the studio to create effects that have been studied in countless advanced music engineering and production courses in colleges around the world over the decades since the debut of "Electric Ladyland." Today I've found a few videos to remind you of this extraordinary Sagittarian Fire god and musical genius.

REMEMBER

By Robert Wilkinson

This is a meditation I wrote 15 years ago under the name of "Aquarius," back when I published a column called "The Halls of Wisdom." I find it as powerful now as it was then. Please feel free to meditate upon its principles as frequently as you like, since I believe it has merit. For your consideration, "Remember."

Comments

Right now I cannot answer comments due to overwhelming priorities. I'll answer them when I can in a few days. Until then, enjoy what will autopost the next three days and I'll check in when I can.

A Cosmic Perspective on Mars' 2007 Retrograde Station Conjunct the Star Sirius - The Sun of our Sun

by Robert Wilkinson

The star Sirius is said to be the most important star in our galaxy. It resides near 14 degrees of Cancer, very close to where Mars went stationary retrograde. That would imply that we stand on the threshold of receiving the awesome galactic wisdom residing in this star, and that we've reached a point where we can act differently than we have before now on the basis of that wisdom. So let's find out more about this powerful influence, the "Sun of our Sun."

Happy 65th Video Birthday to Scorpio Bob Gaudio

by Robert Wilkinson

Today we wish Bob Gaudio a very happy birthday, and may you have many, many more. Though some who have lived on Mars from the 60s to the present have never heard of him, he was the musical genius behind the Four Seasons. While Taurus Frankie Valli held the spotlight with his 3 1/2 octave voice belting out hits like "Sherry," "Big Girls Don't Cry, "Dawn (Go Away)," "Rag Doll," and "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You," (to name but a few of their many hits) it was Bob Gaudio who wrote these and more. Today I've found a few video clips of the group at their finest.

Astrology Class - What is the Difference Between our Sun Sign and our Rising Sign, or Ascendant, and Which is Stronger?

by Robert Wilkinson

This question pops up regularly, most recently in a comment stream. When looking at material for the signs, should we read our Sun sign, our Rising sign, our Moon sign, or what? When we read what's happening for each sign, which is more important and less important, the Sun or Ascendant?

People currently going through dynamic activity, a hectic fast-paced period, or having the hardest time the entire month of November are Aries, Cancers, Libras, and Capricorns born the first few days of April, July, October, and January.

Astrology Stress Zones Predictions for November 2007 Pt. 1 - Mars in Cancer Going Retrograde with a lot of Irrationality and then a Balance Shift

by Robert Wilkinson

Mars triggers whatever happens of note in our charts. In November 2007, Mars moves from 12 degrees of Cancer to its stationary retrograde at 13, then moves back through the same small span through the end of the month. The second half of the month will mirror the first half, just as December will mirror October, and January will mirror the last half of September, so get used to familiar lessons repeating themselves from a variety of angles.

Intuition, Heart, Mind, Desire, and Knowing How to Know

by Robert Wilkinson

How is it possible to know with certainty a) what to do, and b) who to do it with? Many possibilities and experiences arise from these questions, and our lives truly depend on our ability to know the right thing to do at the right time. We all long for certainty, whether who to love and how to love them, which way to point our ship of destiny so we know we are on our path to genuine fulfillment, or which professions are ours to claim and master. How can we know with certainty if someone or something presenting itself is right for us, whether in business, pleasure, or lifework?
