A New Look At Mercury Retrograde in Gemini in May-June 2008 - What Is It Good For?

by Robert Wilkinson

Over the years many have asked me what Mercury retrograde is good for. We know it's supposedly NOT a good time to sign contracts, make purchases of electronics or major moves or decisions, and we are supposed to hang out with the energies, seeing that things may not be as they appear, and so on. That said, there is much that a Mercury retrograde period is good for, such as traveling, research, and other important things.

Happy Birthday to America's Bard for the Ages, Bob Dylan - With Lots of Videos

by Robert Wilkinson

May 24th marks the birthday of a force majure across generations and a true American original. He just won a Pulitzer Prize, making him the first rock star ever to achieve such a thing. As I wrote last year, "His work is vast, awesome, majestic, and compelling, We haven't known an American poet who embodied such electricity since Walt Whitman... Some of your offerings still have the power to blow the illusion to the far side of Pluto." Definitely more below the fold.

350.org - Last Chance for Civilization As We Have Known It?

by Robert Wilkinson

This isn't astrological, but it is meta-physical. There's a movement afoot to bring down humanity's carbon glut that warms our atmosphere every day, melting ice all over the planet, portending things no one really wants to contemplate. NASA's leading climatologist has definitely stated ""if humanity wishes to preserve a planet similar to that on which civilization developed and to which life on earth is adapted, paleoclimate evidence and ongoing climate change suggest that CO2 will need to be reduced from its current 385 ppm to at most 350 ppm." If you care about life on Earth in the near future, read on.

Spiritual Astrology in May-June 2008 Pt. 3 - Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto in Unknown Zones Still Releasing Eclipse Effects

by Robert Wilkinson

All three outer Transpersonal planets now occupy zones they haven't been in for a long time. Having moved through familiar degree spans in late 2007, Uranus is now in the last decan of Pisces, Neptune is firmly in the last part of Aquarius, and Pluto is in Capricorn for the first time since 1762. These months we're asserting our authority and receiving blessings, being more conscious in choosing our behaviors, and codifying new values so we can greet a new life order.
