Astrology Class - Dispositors and Planetary Influence

by Robert Wilkinson

Today we take a new look at one of the crucial factors in understanding how Astrology works on a practical level. Dispositorship is a primary factor in how any planet in any sign manifests, as it provides the background material to why the "inner lights" work as they do. Though each of the planets has their areas of influence, how that influence works is entirely dependent on what rules the sign they're in.

by Robert Wilkinson

Though many consider her an ill-advised windbag, it was interesting to me that Dr. Laura herself challenged something I posted a while ago about Gandhian philosophy and tactics as viable means to achieve productive social ends in our so-called "modern" society. While wandering through my archives one night, I thought it might be entertaining for you to re-visit an interesting (though admittedly one-sided) contretemps between moi and one of our modern sources of air and consciousness pollution. My article was re-posted by a fan of the site, she responded, and this was my response as a committed Gandhian.

The Earth and humanity are on a "path of return," but it won't happen like magic, and we have an important part to play in restoring sustainability to our world.
