Woodstock 1969 - the Third Day Brought Mud, Music, and A Sense That Something Had Been Born

by Robert Wilkinson

Continuing our week celebrating the anniversary of Woodstock 1969, by day three things were a gigantic mess. Every band was now starting way later than they were supposed to, music was going on all night and all day, there wasn’t enough food, and as you can imagine it was not very sanitary. And the extraordinarily magnificent music just got better.

Astrology Class – Are You an Activator, Stabilizer, or Distributor?

by Robert Wilkinson

In Astrology, we have three modes of action. There are signs which initiate activity, signs which consolidate and stabilize activity, and signs which are interactive and look for ways to “spread the word.” As we have all 12 signs in our charts, we have all of these in our own unique combination. When we see our natural skills and strengths, then we naturally become the function we need to be in any circumstance. Today we look at the qualities of our actions from the angle of mastering all the modes of expression.

Astrology in August 2022 – A Solar Yod and the Grand Irrationality

by Robert Wilkinson

We continue to be in a particularly strange time. In early August, Mercury’s transit of the end of Leo created a Yod with quincunxes to first Neptune at 26 Leo/Pisces and then Pluto at 28 Leo/Capricorn. We got preliminary signs and signals related to that “multiple expansion through sacrifice” energy then, followed by Mercury activating the Grand Irrationality. The Sun is now making the same aspects, illuminating and vitalizing this important phase in our global field.

Do Not Look Without For That Which Can Only Be Found Within

by Robert Wilkinson

I was on a site dedicated to the Ageless Wisdom teachings this morning, and realized as I scrolled through other posts that almost all of them were about following the Masters and their teachings. A response arose within me that we must BE the Wisdom we seek, and not just follow the words, however venerable, of another. While we can be taught and inspired, we must walk our walk since we each have our own ticket to ride.
