Astrology Class April 2021 – Mercury Makes A Superior Conjunction with the Sun at 30 Aries!

by Robert Wilkinson

At 6:50 pm PDT April 18, 2:50 am BST April 19, we will experience the "Superior Conjunction" as Mercury catches up with and passes the Sun at 30 Aries. This marks a major turning point where past and future separate, putting the focus on how we can now move forward with others also playing on “our duck pond,” anticipating things to come. This one makes a trine to the last one which led us to get in shape in some way, and the previous one bringing “spiritual linkage through emotional distress” and the blessings which came after the death of useless things last August and September. This marks a fusion of Life and Mind in a sector of individual and spiritual potency.

A 2021 Tribute to Abraham

by Robert Wilkinson

Seems April can be a bad month for good people. 156 years ago, one of the greatest Aquarians of all time got assassinated for his efforts in trying to demonstrate "malice toward none, and charity toward all." Like Gandhi, he took a bullet for trying to heal a nation.

It's Jackie Robinson Day

by Robert Wilkinson

On April 15, 1947, Jackie Robinson (January 31, 1919 – October 24, 1972) took the field for the Brooklyn Dodgers and desegregated baseball forever. Jackie, thanks for breaking the ice so that America could begin to get over the virus of racism. You never backed down, and were classy in the face of impossible hatred, just like President Obama. Thanks for the grit. You were one of a kind, and a true Aquarian showing the world a better way.

Aries 2021 – Honest Straightforward Fire Spirits

by Robert Wilkinson

Late March and April puts the spotlight on the Cardinal Fire sign Aries, where in the Northern Hemisphere we leap into a new Solar year with all the strength and speed symbolized by this energetic sign. The Sun in the first sign of the zodiac shows it's time to cut loose and direct our energy and inspiration to new projects, relationships, and initiatives.

The Void of Course Moon

by Robert Wilkinson

When the Moon is Void of Course (VOC) it means the Moon makes no more "major" aspects to other planets before it leaves a sign. It is said “nothing happens of note,” which is ridiculous since something’s happening all the time, regardless of the position of the Moon. If you want to know more about this misunderstood phenomenon, read on.

The Saturn Return

by Robert Wilkinson

As Astrology students know, the Saturn return is considered one of the most important events in a human life. The first Saturn return always occurs between the age of 27 and 29, and the second one happens again from 57-59. These are phases of radical choice and change in our lives, and mark milestones when our life after the Saturn return is far different than it was before then.

Today we’ll revisit why Easter is so important. For those who haven’t seen it before, what you’ll read today is from When the Sun Moves Northward by Mabel Collins, who also gave us Light On the Path, Through the Gates of Gold, and Idyll of the White Lotus.
