by Robert Wilkinson

For thousands of years, a Solar or Lunar Eclipse has been a signal of major change, often dreaded by those who fall under their shadows. Today we explore these phenomena known as Eclipses.

The Solar and Lunar Eclipse - Is Any Eclipse Destined to Have Bad Effects?

by Robert Wilkinson

There is a lot of fear and trepidation connected to Eclipses, an unfortunate leftover from previous centuries when Eclipses were believed to augur the fall of empires, dynasties, and powerful people anywhere the Eclipse shadow fell. While Eclipses do tend to shut down some elements in the area of life (house) in which they fall, this is not necessarily a bad thing, since we must bring some things to an end if we are to embrace newer, better ways of doing our Being. While the future effects of an Eclipse may be powerful, in that they last over a long period, they are not necessarily bad.

The Solar Eclipse of August 1, 2008 - Long Range Transfiguration, Tears of Joy

by Robert Wilkinson

The coming Solar Eclipse will have a very significant impact on us all. Eclipses shut things down, taking away elements of our lives no longer "true" for us. Leo is the sign of personal love, creativity, self dramatization, and heart-felt pleasures. Some form of these will be shut down, with the void sure to attract new forms of expressing this energy. Wherever this eclipse falls in our charts is where we can expect long term endings, but also relief, transfiguration, and the joy of knowing we've made it through the night.

A Moment of Silence, Remembrance, and Heart-Felt Compassion

by Robert Wilkinson

A dear friend of the site just lost her 10 year old boy to kidney failure. It happened breathtakingly fast, and gives pause for reflection on how fleeting and precious are our moments here on Earth with our loved ones. As one who knows the profound sorrow of losing one as close to my heart as my own breath, I thought that instead of posting an article on Astrology today we could revisit some things I've written about grief, sorrow, and how to heal the pain of losing a loved one.

Election Fraud and Tyranny in the US - The Biggest Problem in Election 2008

by Robert Wilkinson

As most of you know, I usually don't do political reporting here since it often creates discussions that skew in strident directions that disrupt what I'm creating here. However, these nuggets from TruthOut must be read by anyone who values a democratic method of electing governments. A new book titled "Loser Take Call" pulls down the veil of how the past 4 US national elections were stolen and We The People were defrauded by our election process manipulated by tyrants intent on seizing power illegally.

This video is one of the most innovative ideas I've ever seen, and truly gives hope that in a world gone mad with violence and ego pomposity, we can still dance.

Below the fold, an amazing video that truly unifies our world (and may even bring you a smile!)

Happy 617th Birthday to His Holiness, the Dalai Lama

by Robert Wilkinson

Yes, I know the current incarnation began July 6, 1935, but he is an unbroken consciousness aware of his ongoing existence and has been for quite a few centuries! As I wrote last year, "This Being is truly one of the most benign and enlightened consciousnesses ever to walk this Earth, and having had the privilege of attending numerous talks with Him, I am always in awe of his gentle sense of humor, his generosity of Spirit, and his profound wisdom."

by Robert Wilkinson

Today we take a new look at which signs dominate which US states. Included are the Sun, Moon, and sign of the planet ruling each state's Sun. If you've wondered why certain states appeal to you or turn you off, this may explain why. Of course this article is focused on the US, but remember every country, state, city and village in the world has its own astrological character, so no matter where we are, we can benefit by knowing the chart of the place we're at.
