Agni Yoga - Leaders Determine The Karma of Nations

by Robert Wilkinson

I gave you these insights about the karma of nations offered in the Agni Yoga works about 15 months ago.

Astrologically, this makes today, not July 4, the true birthday of the United States government. (Constitutional chart at the link.)

Changing Your Astrological Planet Responses From Frustrating to Achieving What You Want

by Robert Wilkinson

In Astrology, the planets are our “inner Lights,” symbolizing various part of our personality. Each of the 7 visible planets represents part of us, and because none of us was born perfect, each of the 7 planetary parts of our personality has an unhealthy expression as well as a healthy expression. As we move through life experiences, we have to learn to replace our unhealthy or frustrating responses with more satisfying ways of expressing our intention.
