Spiritual Astrology in January-February 2008 Pt. 3 - The Outer Planets Show What We've Completed and What We're Opening

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 January and February. Today we continue to explore more about the pressure we're under and within, what it means, and how this is impacting us all.

The Solar Eclipse of February 6-7, 2008 in Aquarius

by Robert Wilkinson

The coming Solar Eclipse will have a very significant impact on us all. All eclipses shut something down, taking away elements of our lives no longer "true" for us. Aquarius is the sign of collective expression, larger ideals, group efforts, and the exteriorization of Leo, the sign of personal love. Thus a form of impersonal love will be shut down, with the void sure to attract new forms of expressing this energy. This eclipse is conjunct Neptune, thus will both trigger and shut down some Neptunian elements of the Grand Irrationality.

Ozymandius

By one of my favorite poets, a timeless tale of human presumption, and a reminder that our grandest efforts may be subject to a different view by those who follow us. Something to ponder about our mortality as we travel through ... The Twilight Zone.

Using Time Wisely

I just saw this quote from fellow Aries Thomas Jefferson advising his daughter in 1787. It's great advice, since I also have absolutely found it true. It's the only way I get as much done as I do. From one of the greatest Spirits of history: "Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much can be done if we are always doing." I'll only add that "Doing" is just as important as "Being."

Capricorn 2008 – Ambitious Practical Earth Spirits

by Robert Wilkinson

January features the Sun in Capricorn, and during January 2008 we also have Jupiter in this Cardinal Earth sign as well as Mercury the first week of the month and Venus in Capricorn the last week of the month. This shows a Capricorn emphasis in our Sag and Pisces areas, as well as Gemini and Virgo areas the first part of the month, and Taurus and Libra areas the last part of the month. Looks like it’s time to get to work!

For Those Who Grieve the Loss of A Child

by Robert Wilkinson

Long time readers of this community know that January 9 is one of the most sacred days in my entire year. Many years ago I was shipwrecked in hell on that day, leading to a long and arduous journey in finding my way out of indescribable pain and suffering. Today I'll offer you an open letter I wrote to someone having an extremely hard time due to the death of his child.

Happy Video Birthday to THE King, Elvis Presley, A Genuinely Spiritual Man

by Robert Wilkinson

Yes, he of whom John Lennon said "Before Elvis, there was nothing" would have been 73 today if not for too many pills and peanut butter and banana sandwiches. He was the world's first true superstar, making moves on stage that outraged elders everywhere and excited the young all over the world. Though we mainly know him as a parody of 60s B-movie leering youthfulness rendered obsolete by the Beatles, he was truly electrifying on stage and changed our world forever, blowing the doors open for a whole new way of young hearts to express themselves.

Spiritual Astrology in January-February 2008 Pt. 2 - Uranus Direct, Neptune in a Solar Eclipse, and Pluto Entering Capricorn

by Robert Wilkinson

With Uranus and Neptune passing over degree spans rehearsed in 2007, these "spiritual" forces at work move us over familiar territory reviewed in their initial direct, then retrograde phase. Pluto enters Capricorn for the first time since 1762, and like then, after a brief stay will RX back into Sag, finally leaving that sign for the last time this cycle in late November 2008. We're now definitely moving forward, and can use the skills learned in 2007 as Spiritual tools in the months to come.

Spiritual Astrology in January-February 2008 Pt. 1 - Jupiter Trine Saturn Practical Grounding with A Grand Irrationality Eclipse in Aquarius

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 show the pulses of inner and outer progress in a larger field of interactive experiences on social, cultural, and global levels. These months they anchor the promise of 2007’s Jupiter in Sagittarius.
