The Spiritual Mystery of Easter - From "When the Sun Moves Northward”

by Robert Wilkinson

Today we’ll revisit why Easter is so important. I’ve given you this for many years, and 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. These works are important source material, and contain crucial teachings for those who would "lift the bar from the Gates of Gold" and claim their true Spiritual Estate, consciously being fully human and fully Divine.

Astrology in April 2025 – Ending A Long Run of Mercury, Mars, and Venus Retrograde

by Robert Wilkinson

We’re finally done with the off-again, on-again “tag-team” inner planet retrogrades! This began when Mercury went retrograde at 23 Sagittarius in late November 2024, and finally ended with Venus going stationary direct at 25 Pisces on April 12. So what does it mean when we have Mercury, Venus, and Mars in a retrograde sequence?

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. The chart's for the beginning of that game is below.

A 2025 Tribute to Abraham Lincoln

by Robert Wilkinson

Seems April can be a bad month for good people. 160 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.

by Robert Wilkinson

Venus goes direct at 25 Pisces 6:02 pm PDT on April 12, 2:02 am BST on April 13. This is a threshold from which we move forward in many Venus-ruled areas of our lives. Much that we’ve been reviewing between early March and now has enabled us to remember old people, old initiatives, previous times when we found a new leadership, and re-value what has been and will continue to leave our lives.

The April 2025 Full Moon of 24 Aries-Libra Pt. 2 – Sabian Symbols Showing the Light of Spiritual Understanding Expressed Through Heart Power

by Robert Wilkinson

As most of you know, the December 2020 Solstice conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn at 1 Aquarius launched new 20 and 200 year eras.

Be open to communications and communicating with others!

As the Sun is on the same degree where Chiron went SRX in July 2024, no doubt the next two weeks will illuminate our training, healing, or mentoring/being mentored these past 9 months. Important communications bring creative integration!
