An Ode to Mercury Square Neptune

by Robert Wilkinson

At 7:19 am PST, 3:19 pm GMT on January 10 we will experience the "Superior Conjunction" as Mercury catches up with and passes the Sun at 20 Capricorn.

This is a spur to quicken the pace at the impending front edge of a Lunar Eclipse, using the practical tools we’ve developed since September to take our proper place in a larger service.

Happy 2020 Birthday to the legendary Kahlil Gibran and a Salute to Ida Tarbell

by Robert Wilkinson

Today is the birthday of the immortal artist, poet, and author Kahlil Gibran (January 6, 1883 – April 10, 1931). Best known for The Prophet, he died young and is revered to this day. He also wrote a collection called The Madman, and thanks to Sagars Waters we have this excellent article worth your time titled Happy Birthday, Kahlil Gibran: The Beloved Poet and Philosopher on the Self and the Liberating Madness of Casting Our Masks Aside. Enjoy!

It's also the death day of the legendary muckraking journalist Ida Tarbell (November 5, 1857 – January 6, 1944). She was a pioneer in the field of investigative journalism, and completely fearless in taking on the powerful and corrupt. Most famous for exposing Standard Oil and the corrupt monopolistic business practices of Rockefeller. It would be equivalent to someone exposing Goldman Sachs' or the Koch brothers' business practices and corruption on the front page of today's news. Anyway, a big salute to a lady who exposed corruption and founded investigative journalism!
