What Is Astrology?

by Robert Wilkinson

This is from one of my talks when I was asked just what astrology is. While I could not possibly explore the full implications of that question, this is a part of what I had to say. (I originally had an audio link of me giving the talk, but it was on a server I no longer have access to, and I haven't figured out whether I want to use a ton of bandwidth to offer it again.) Anyway, here's a piece of "What is Astrology?"

Heart Power, Imagination, and Contacting the Higher Realms

by Robert Wilkinson

Here's another gem from the remarkable The Magic of Space, one of the more fascinating books I've ever found. For your perusal and consideration, some thoughts on how to expand our consciousness and strengthen our connection to our heart's knowledge, the vehicle that helps us know the real from the unreal.

A brief look at house cusps and how they affect planetary functioning

by Robert Wilkinson

In astrology, there is much confusion about what a planet on the cusp of a house means. A cusp is the edge of a house where it touches another house. The houses are the areas of our experience in the outer world, whereas the planets symbolize our inner functions, or "lights," of personality, from the innermost sensitivities and feelings (the Moon) to the outermost transpersonal transformative forces beyond our control (Pluto). Today we will explore an innovative way to viewing how to interpret a planet if it falls on the cusp of a house.

Earthquake Prediction for Los Angeles

Yes, you read the title right. A "well-known psychic" predicted yesterday there would be an earthquake of large magnitude here in Southern California today. While I usually take such things with a grain of proverbial salt, I consulted one of my favorite Tarot readers to see what the cards would tell her of such things. Astrologically I didn't see it occurring today, but I like to cross-check my sources. As you can surmise, no such thing was indicated. Just thought my readers might want to know, as a huge earthquake would prevent me from posting. And we wouldn't want that. If you're interested in the specific cards in the reading, I can post them in the comment stream. Let me know.

The Gemini Pioneer of Free Will Astrology, Grant Lewi

By Robert Wilkinson

One of the greatest astrologers of all time, Grant Lewi, was a Gemini. Author of Heaven Knows What, Astrology for the Millions, and many other works, he pioneered an entirely new approach to analyzing birth charts, signs, planets, and transits. A Professor at Dartmouth, he left academia to pursue a brilliant (if too short) career as an author, publisher, and one of the greatest lights of 20th Century astrology. He died a legend, having predicted his exact time of death before it happened as a result of a cerebral hemorrhage.
