Scorpio 2008 - Intense Self-Reliant Water Spirits

by Robert Wilkinson

November accents the water sign Scorpio, where we transcend the forms we’ve glimpsed up to now and move deeper into the experience of people and activities. We can concentrate power by purifying ourselves of obsolete or stagnant feelings, and going deeper into our mystery to regenerate what we need to get from here to where we're going.

Happy Video 66th Birthday to "Jersey Boy" Bob Gaudio

by Robert Wilkinson

Today we offer up a very happy to Bob Gaudio, the musical genius (along with fellow Scorpio Bob Crewe) who was the hit writing engine and keyboardist for the Four Seasons, one of the few American groups that consistently hit the top of the charts when the Beatles dominated the airwaves.

Light On The Path - Separateness As A Path To Union With All-That-Is

by Robert Wilkinson

For those who wish to open a door to the Eternal Self and get beyond stresses arising from human thought, feeling, and action, today I offer the gem of gems, "Light On The Path." It is said that an aspirant reads it with one set of eyes; an Initiate with another, and a Master with yet another. I have read and re-read this work countless times over 35 years, and each time I understand its wisdom in a new light. Even one minute contemplating its wisdom opens doors of higher awareness forever.

Happy Belated Video Birthday to Scorpio Joni Mitchell

by Robert Wilkinson

Due to popular demand, today we celebrate one of the great songwriters of all time, the amazing Joni Mitchell. I let Nov 7 go by without this tribute due to getting lost in election 2008 that week, choosing instead to analyze Barack Obama's chart for that day. So today we'll take a look at a remarkable woman.

Spiritual Astrology in November-December 2008 Pt. 2 - The Grand Irrationality and When It Will Be Set Into Motion

by Robert Wilkinson

As you know from other posts, Neptune and Pluto are still in septile, and therefore anchoring what I have termed The Grand Irrationality. This is a long wave global activating influence that began in the mid-1990s and will be with us for years to come. It may help us understand why things are so weird on a constant basis, why people can be so obsessive-compulsive and make strange choices from time to time, and the reason crazy irrational behaviors seem to pervade our times. Due to this influence, we are all under pressure fairly frequently to make life-altering choices and changes as we all stand at forks in the road of Destiny.

The Full Moon of Taurus-Scorpio of November 2008

by Robert Wilkinson

The Full Moon in Taurus occurs at 10:17 pm PST Nov 12, 1:17 am EST Nov 13 at 22 degrees of Taurus-Scorpio. This initiates a 2 week period where we shall see a new day dawning, a new way of life promised by a "divine signature" confirming that we have indeed gone through our collective crisis with courage and faith. The Fixed T-square will precipitate world servants onto the global stage, as well as the appearance of new authorities at a moment when the Grand Irrationality is set into major motion.

Spiritual Astrology in November-December 2008 Pt. 1 - Jupiter's Group Performance Trine Saturn's Social Education

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, whatever 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 continue the long term stabilizing Earth trine and continue to bring us understanding and rewards from the work, service, and/or discipleship practices we've embraced since September 2007.

Astrology Looks At the Birth Chart of Barack Obama

by Robert Wilkinson

While there has been rampant speculation about Barack Obama's true birth time, it should have been dispelled when he released his birth certificate where his exact birth time is listed. Barack Obama was born 4 August, 1961, in Honolulu, Hawaii, at exactly 7:24 pm. It is definitive that he has 19 Aquarius as his Ascendant. The Sabian Symbol for this degree is portentous for what confronts the 44th President of the United States. For astrologers who want a glimpse of his chart, a jpeg is at the bottom of this article.

A Beginning

by Robert Wilkinson

After experiencing the first good feelings I've had about our (potential) government in many decades, I'll leave election 2008's glow with a singularly poignant piece from France, America's first ally and the subject of much Republican bashing not that many days ago. From Le Monde, a piece from Robert Sole'. Enjoy the feeling. While there are things to be done, this is a singular moment in history.
