The Dalai Lama and 30 Miles of a Fiery Inferno Hell on Earth

by Robert Wilkinson

It's been quite a period, from the sublime to the horrendous! I finally got home to the high desert after a perfect Mercury retrograde of driving out of burning Southern California only to break down in the desert east of Indio and have to be towed back into the thick haze of an Armageddon-like fiery inferno where the Sun and sky were literally blotted out in a dense fog of gray-brown particulates too thick to see the mountains burning out of control just a few thousand feet away.

Explaining the Squares and Oppositions of 2009-2010-2011-2012-2013 Pt.3 - Uranus in Aries Square Pluto in Capricorn

by Robert Wilkinson

In Part 1 we examined how the coming Saturn opposition Uranus will set up a clash between old systems and the transformative process. In Part 2, we took a look at the dances Saturn and Pluto have been doing for the past century, and offered hints as to how these may manifest in the future given what happened in the past. Today we look at the major square between the two heavyweight Transpersonal planets, Uranus and Pluto, in order to find ideas how to position ourselves to take advantage of the upheavals and not be caught off balance.

Explaining the Squares and Oppositions of 2009-2010-2011-2012-2013 Pt.2 - Saturn in Libra Square Pluto in Capricorn

by Robert Wilkinson

Yesterday we explored the power struggle (or dance!) between Saturn and Uranus as we deal with their opposition over the next few years. Today we add Pluto to the volatile mix about to engulf the entire world in dynamic transformation. The future stands revealed, and by noting what seeds are sprouting beginning January 2008 we can plan accordingly to reposition ourselves and become conscious participants in the larger changes taking place.

Explaining the Squares and Oppositions of 2009-2010-2011-2012-2013 Pt.1 - Saturn in Virgo and Libra Opposition Uranus in Pisces and Aries

by Robert Wilkinson

We know the years approaching 2012 will be strange and challenging due to the squares and oppositions between major planets, along with the on-going Grand Irrationality not cutting us any slack for the next decade. In the past I've offered some things about the squares and oppositions, and today we'll explore some of the qualities of those tension producing, breakthrough aspects.

The Dalai Lama and Al Gore

I'm off for classes in NYC with the first, and glad to see the second just won the Nobel Peace Prize. I'll be checking back in to delete spam, but probably won't be answering comments or questions for a few days. Getting high with His Holiness is like that. There are articles that will autopost while I'm in the aethers, but if you start having withdrawal sensations, repeat "Aum Mani Padme Hum" until you find yourself in the space we ALL inhabit. Aum Mani Padme Hum Aum Mani Padme Hum Aum Mani Padme Hum Aummmmmm......

Astrology in 2007 featuring Jupiter in Sagittarius Square Uranus in Pisces - Evolution Revolution NOW!

by Robert Wilkinson

Besides being a song I wrote many years ago, we are in fact in an "evolution revolution" right now, thanks to the Jupiter square Uranus in effect these many months. We were first introduced to this very revolutionary energy in January 2007, again with Jupiter RX in May, and we are experiencing it for the magical third time right now. I've noted a few electronic crashes this week, indicative of larger forces of change in our world. This is fulfilling a long cycle of revolutionary change to broader horizons, adventures, truths, and timeless views.

Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio and Libra in October-November 2007, Part 1 - Deepening Our Feelings and Bonds With Others

by Robert Wilkinson

This Mercury retrograde starts 9pm PDT October 11 (October 12 EST and points east) and ends 4pm PDT Nov 1 (Nov 2 UK and points east). This retrograde moves from 10 degrees Scorpio back to 24 Libra, with the inferior conjunction OF Mercury and the Sun occurring 5 pm PDT October 23 (October 24 W. Africa and east) at 1 Scorpio. This degree is said to be "Sightseers In A Bus Strain To See Crowds and Buildings," symbolizing an "appetite for larger things" and "seeing life as a whole." A degree of "Social Intercourse," Rudhyar also says this degree is "...human eagerness to expand one's social horizon and to experience the results of ... new ways of life," referring to a greater realization of "a larger whole of existence- a more encompassing frame of reference," and "a widening of experience."

The Secret Doctrine and H.P. Blavatsky

by Robert Wilkinson

I recently got a request from a reader wanting to know more about the venerable source document for the Ageless Wisdom, "The Secret Doctrine." It is a masterwork whose possibilities have never been fully explored by our uber-materialistic era. It is a translation of the first two of the Ancient Commentaries, old beyond description. How many copies of the ancient Commentaries there are, and where they are kept by the custodians of the ancient wisdom of the world is unknown.
