A New Look At Mercury Retrograde in Aquarius in January 2009 - What Is It Good For?

by Robert Wilkinson

So just what IS Mercury retrograde good for? The conventional wisdom is that supposedly it's NOT a good time to sign contracts, make purchases of electronics, or major moves or decisions. We are told to hang out with the energies, being alert that things may not be as they appear, and so on. However, I've found there is much that a Mercury retrograde period is good for, such as traveling, research, and other important things.

Spiritual Astrology in January-February 2009 Pt. 3 - The Grand Irrationality and When It Will Be Set Into Motion

by Robert Wilkinson

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. Through it we can understand why things are so weird on a constant basis, why people can be so obsessive-compulsive and make strange choices, and why irrational behaviors that make little sense pervade our times. Due to this influence, we are all under frequent pressure to make life-altering choices and changes as we stand at forks in the road of Destiny.

Fierce Grace and the Dying of the Light

by Robert Wilkinson

It is a fact of life that we all have bodies that die, and with that our feelings and minds as well. Except for the Masters of Yoga whose consciousness transcends the sickness, old age, and death that the Buddha offered as our ultimate fate, we all confront our mortality at some point in our lives. (And even Masters confront the mortality of our loved ones.) Today I offer you two remarkable statements on this difficult but universal subject, one a documentary on the remarkable Ram Dass, the other an article by a physician doing "end of life" care.
