Astrologers, Objectivity, Politics and Political Opinions

by Robert Wilkinson

After 54 years in the craft, I continue to be amazed at how many people believe astrologers should not have political opinions, and that an astrologer with a political opinion cannot be objective in analyzing charts. Both of these beliefs are grounded in a lack of understanding of both Astrology and human nature.

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.
