TransPluto, Divine Mother, and the Spiritual Lessons of 2025

by Robert Wilkinson

Today we take a closer look at what TransPluto is bringing to us this year. As you know, I believe that TransPluto is associated with “Divine Mother energy,” and has associations with Parvati and Demeter. This energy influences humanity through vast, long wave redemptive cycles. This year we continue to get over our preconceptions, see the universal fellowship in all other Beings, and use our imagination to envision a different way to be and live.

Happy 2025 Birthday to Gene Sharp, One of the Greatest Revolutionaries of our Times

by Robert Wilkinson

Most have never heard of this force of nature who has given the blueprint to thousands of revolutionaries over the past 50 years. Make no mistake – he IS Da Man! Without his written works, there very well might have been no Eastern European color revolutions, no Arab Spring, and perhaps even no Occupy movement. He’s one of the most important non-violent revolutionaries ever to walk our Earth.

Sun Conjunct Pluto at 2 Aquarius

by Robert Wilkinson

This is the first conjunction of the Sun and Pluto in Aquarius since the end of the 18th century! This puts an illuminated focus on the transformational seed forms represented by Pluto at the beginning of Aquarius, with challenges coming related to 2020 and after when Saturn went SRX at 2 Aquarius. This will sprout those seeds, for better and for worse.

There Are No Bad Venus Sign Positions

by Robert Wilkinson

I was recently in a discussion with a spiritual Brother who had read that his Venus in Aquarius “wouldn’t be so good in a personal relationship with a wife or partner.” Today we discuss why that’s not true at all! Any Venus sign position can produce a great relationship if we play to Venus’ virtues and not Her excesses.

Super Sunday Celebrating the 2025 Birthday of Elvis Presley, Rock and Roll Pioneer and Spiritual Man

Elvis Presley, glorious Sun King of his time, would have been 90 on January 8. The world's first true superstar, he made moves on stage no one had seen before, outraging elders and exciting young people all over the world. Though his films are mainly parodies of 60s B-movies rendered obsolete by the Beatles, back in the 50s when he cut loose on stage, he electrified us all and changed our world forever.

A Second Bill of Rights For America And the World

by Robert Wilkinson

As I was occupied with Wildfire business on Saturday, this didn't get posted. So today we celebrate that January 11 was the 81st anniversary of FDR’s 1944 State of the Union speech where he outlined a “Second Bill of Rights under which a new basis of security and prosperity can be established for all – regardless of station, or race, or creed.” Adopting these would make our world a much better place for all people everywhere.
