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.

Happy Video Birthday to American Idol Steven Colbert

by Robert Wilkinson

Man-meat that he says he is, it's time to offer a birthday shout-out to THE American icon of our times, the august Steven Colbert. No, not Col-bert. He pronounces his name "Cole-bare" (spelled that way since Steven feels that bears are the numero uno "threat down" in America, and a man-meat couldn't possibly resist the word "bare.") A happy video birthday below the fold, as "they" call it.

Spiritual Astrology in May-June 2008 Pt. 2 - Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto All Retrograding At Thresholds of New Spiritual Frontiers

by Robert Wilkinson

In the early months of the year the outer planets enter unknown zones of Spiritual futures indicated by degree spans not experienced in close to a century or more. This three-fold series of Higher Pulses each and together give us glimpses of phases of experience we've never known before. In Spring they each go retrograde at various points in time. By mid-Summer, they are all retrograde, bringing newer, deeper insights and connectedness with the Divine Process.

Happy Mothers Day 2008

by Robert Wilkinson

Happy Mother's Day to everyone! This day honors all mothers everywhere, as well as their mothers and grandmothers and great-grandmothers back to the beginning of time. It has an interesting history and intention which has nothing to do with the modern commercial form of this celebration of mothers. It originally was a day dedicated to pacifism and disarmament.

Spiritual Astrology in May-June 2008 Pt. 1 - Retrograde Jupiter Bringing Rewards for Courage Dancing With Saturn Direct at the Threshold of A Liberating Ordeal

by Robert Wilkinson

Jupiter and Saturn transform energies of the Transpersonal 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 begin a new Saturn phase and prepare us to receive recognition for our courage and perseverance since September 2007.

Rick Nelson - A Happy Video Birthday

by Robert Wilkinson

Got so caught up in work today I almost forgot to honor one of the great rock and rollers of all time. As Bob Dylan once put it, "He sang his songs calm and steady like he was in the middle of a storm, men hurling past him. His voice was sort of mysterious and made you fall into a certain mood."

As We Approach A New Era

by Robert Wilkinson

I wrote this a while ago, and it certainly has continued to become more "real" every month since then. The beginning: "Imagine, if you will, that you are approaching a threshold. As you draw nearer, you intensify, quicken. Every part of you wonders, in a deep and unfathomable way, what is approaching. Yet IT is now approaching, and we are approaching it even as IT is approaching us. The quickening intensifies..."

Today's New Moon in Taurus occurred at 5:18 am PDT at 16 degrees of Taurus. This New Moon is the promise that will be revealed beginning at the next Full Moon in Taurus, traditionally known as "The Wesak Festival," celebrating the birth and enlightenment of the Buddha. This New Moon shows the seed of some very important developments to come over the next 4 weeks.

What Can We Do To Overcome Fear?

by Robert Wilkinson

Today we take a new look at how to deal with fear. As times get more uncertain and our lives become destabilized, fear is a natural response that quickly manifests to the degree we allow it. Sometimes we know what causes the fear to come up, other times we don't, but we still must find ways to antidote the fear that is present.
