Henry A. Giroux On Authoritarians and Escalating Violence Undermining Democracy

by Robert Wilkinson

There are few articulate, thorough, and comprehensible public philosophers. Henry Grioux is one of them. I've read his material for quite a while, and while it can be VERY dense filled with complex ideas arrived at through rigorous critical thinking, it's definitely worth the read. This article articulates a clear threat to democracy awakening in the US. Should it succeed, I have no doubt it will reawaken in other places,

August-September 2009 Astrological Changes - The Inner Planets Moving Between Signs Shifts A Lot In Our Charts

by Robert Wilkinson

I was going to post this earlier as it happened, but the last Kennedy brother died, so you get it today. In recent days we've seen the Sun move from Leo to Virgo, Mercury from Virgo to Libra, Venus from Cancer to Leo, and Mars from Gemini to Cancer. These affect all of us more than we think.

Well, it's happening NOW! Today Mars enters Cancer, Mercury enters Libra while slowing down preparing to go retrograde on Sept 6-7, and they are exactly square late today (early tomorrow everywhere east of EDT).

Over the next few weeks, communication will be a focus, as will the need to get clear about what roles we're playing despite cross currents.

Off Road Vehicle Until September and the Dalai Lama - A Summer of Crashing Waves and Life Lessons

by Robert Wilkinson

I'm back. I've read every comment these past few weeks, and appreciate those who reached out to each other for whatever reason in our gentle community. There were a few annoying comments, but I decided not to break my sabbatical since I have in fact been dealing with the dead and dying for over 2 months solid, trying to do various meditations to assist them through the bardo to whatever degree is/was possible. Many things are under consideration as we move through the troubled waters of late August.

Astrology for All in August-September 2009 - Mars Agitating All Signs

by Robert Wilkinson

Mars continues to exert its energetic influence on all signs. I wrote extensively about which signs Mars is most impacting at this time a while ago, but it slipped downstream fast due to the "Spiritual Astrology" article series combined with all the Eclipse activity going on at the time. Today we take a new look at what forms of "right action" we are learning from Mars.
