What is Truth, Telling the Truth, and is a Half Truth A Lie?

by Robert Wilkinson

A dear friend of mine wrote me the other day about a moral dilemma troubling her. She asked: "Is there ever a situation when bending the truth is necessary for the well being of a person or group of people?" There were layers to her question which deserve consideration. This is a major dilemma for all who know more than they can say, as well as all who are called to say something truthful even when it looks like it will lead to a major problem. If you're interested in my response, read on.

A New Look At Mercury Retrograde in Aquarius in February-March 2007 - What Is It Good For?

by Robert Wilkinson

In a recent article, I offered some ideas of what we can expect during this Mercury Retrograde in Pisces. This Pisces energy influences the coming months, as will Mercury's time on the very important last 5 degrees of Aquarius through the rest of its retrograde period. Then it moves forward through this span again and re-enters Pisces at the Solar Eclipse of March 18. For the near future, expect signs, signals, and communications related to this time of transfiguration we're all going through one way and another. Now that it's in Aquarius, what is it good for?

Spiritual Astrology in March-April 2007 affecting Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces

by Robert Wilkinson

The coming weeks take us into unknown zones of Spiritual futures as Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are all in degree spans not experienced in close to a century or more. Expect the seed forces of Pluto in Sagittarius to show up in dynamic ways while Uranus opens a new year cycle for all. This future oriented tide of evolution will close some doors while blasting many new ones open for our inspiration, enjoyment, and ability to "light up our life" in new ways. These months continue to be an extension of new beginnings, resetting our ideals and relationship to collective mentality and unconsciousness. Saturnine Courage will yield major rewards as we dwell in unknown territory.

Long Range Astrology - The March 2007 Lunar Eclipse in Virgo-Pisces and What It Means

by Robert Wilkinson

In a few days we get the first Lunar Eclipse of 2007 at 13 degrees of Virgo-Pisces on March 3 at 3:17 pm PST. 15 days later we experience the first Solar Eclipse of the year at 29 Pisces just before the Vernal Equinox at 5:08 pm PDT on March 20. Both eclipses will shut some old ways of life down forever, leaving us space to embrace the new that is already prepared for us exactly mirroring what we have prepared for up to now. These will shine a light on closures, courage, and transmutation of energies into personality strengths in our process of "escaping from a narrow destiny," promised by whatever has educated us since September 2006's Solar and Lunar Eclipses.

Eternity, Life and Death, and Our Conscious Evolution on Earth Ending Fear and Suffering

by Robert Wilkinson

This is an edited version of a treatise inspired by a reader who asked about some important issues of human existence. It offers some of what I have learned about the Eternal Light-Life we all live within, and may serve as a guide to where we ALL always live, whether we perceive it or not. So what's really going on here on Earth, and just why ARE we here?

A New Look At Mercury Retrograde in Pisces in February 2007 - What Is It Good For?

by Robert Wilkinson

I'm often asked what Mercury retrograde is good for. We all know we're NOT supposed to sign contracts, make purchases of electronics, make major moves or decisions, and are supposed to hang out with the energies, seeing that things may not be as they appear, and so on. That said, there is much that a Mercury retrograde period is good for, such as traveling, research, and other important things.

Are Good and Evil Shown In An Astrological Birthchart?

by Robert Wilkinson

This is an important question, since many astrologers have trouble explaining how supposedly "negative" aspects between planets can manifest for good rather than difficulty. Add to this the scope of defining "good" and "evil," as well as how "free will" interacts with difficult aspects, circumstances, and head spaces, and we have today's post, Are Some Astrology Charts More Evil Than Others? We have nothing to fear from "bad" aspects, natally, progressed, or transit, and always have the potential to grasp the wheel of our "fate" and steer ourselves in a more productive direction. Enjoy!

Astrology Class February 2007 - Planets in Exaltation

by Robert Wilkinson

A brief note of an extraordinary period these past several days that show two or three planets in their signs of "Exaltation" at the same time, offering us the energies of greatest development wherever we have Mercury, Venus, or Mars transiting and which houses (life affairs) they rule in our charts. The exaltation sextile between Venus in Pisces and Mars in Capricorn for most of February will begin to set productive stable patterns in those specific sectors promising good accomplishments in March if you're organized and disciplined.
