Robert Wilkinson, Astrologer and Metaphysician, Radio Interview New Year's Eve 2008

by Robert Wilkinson

The title says it all. Sorry for spacing out advance notice, but Michele and I really connected today on a wide range of great topics! More about future interviews and today's web radio interview below the fold.

How Jupiter in Aquarius in 2009 Affects Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces

by Robert Wilkinson

Jupiter in Aquarius brings social power and group initiation resulting from Jupiter in Capricorn's organizing of the new horizons, visions of higher truths, and greater opportunities opened by 2007's Jupiter in Sag. Jupiter, the "expansive principle," or "guru" in Sanskrit, teaches us ways to liberate ourselves as it makes it way through the zodiac. Wherever we have Sagittarius and Pisces planets and houses, we should open to a broader vision, accept a larger responsibility, and welcome friends as we enter into greater group awareness and social effectiveness.

An Overview of 2009 Predictions for Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces

by Robert Wilkinson

Over the next few weeks I'll be composing many articles about what each sign, as well as all signs, will be going through in 2009. Today offers a brief snapshot for each sign.

Light Show In the December Evening Sky!

by Robert Wilkinson

Christmas Eve begins a fairly spectacular series of early evening skies lasting for a week. Mercury is now far enough away from the Sun to be visible, conjunct Jupiter in the early evening skies here in the Northern Hemisphere, with Venus just above them conjunct invisible Neptune in Aquarius. They are clearly visible in the early evening skies if there are no clouds. The next 7 days features even more incredible sights.

In the Heart of the Grand Irrationality - Mars conjunct Pluto at the Galactic Center

by Robert Wilkinson

The next few days we're experiencing Mars conjunct Pluto, the last in a series of conjunctions of inner planets with Pluto at the Galactic Center. Any time a planet conjuncts Neptune or Pluto the Grand Irrationality is triggered. Today's article may help those struggling with the larger irrational, obsessive-compulsive energies of this years-long configuration.

Comments

I won't be answering comments or questions for a couple of days since I have to catch up on other things. Happy Holydays!

The Future of the 21st Century - Time For The End of Slavery

by Robert Wilkinson

One of my primary concerns as a man of conscience and blogger has been to spotlight the stench of slavery wherever it is happening, that we may all affirm and do whatever moves us to end this abominable virus upon humanity. I've spent years focusing on the child slaves of the African chocolate meatgrinder feeding America cheap chocolate on the backs of starving children. Today I found a very valuable article sketching a larger global picture of slavery that offers a broader view of the larger issue.

Winter Solstice 2008

by Robert Wilkinson

Winter Solstice 2008 occurs at 4:04 am PST, 12:04 pm GMT on December 21, 2008. This is the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, and from now on the Solar force will get longer and stronger, a welcome relief for those of us who need lots of sunshine to keep our dispositions equally sunny.

Pluto Galactic Center Seeds in Motion December 2008 and January-February 2009 - New Beginnings Are Already Rolling Through

by Robert Wilkinson

In a comment stream a reader mentioned a sense of new beginnings. This happens at this time of the year each year, since it begins a period when the inner planets all conjunct first Pluto, then Neptune, then Uranus within a 90 day span. While Neptune and Uranus have yet to be triggered, Pluto's seeds for years to come have begun to sprout.

Pluto in Capricorn - A Hard Look At Core Realities

by Robert Wilkinson

Pluto is the ultimate transformer which purifies all forms down to their "seed quality." In any seed is the inherent pattern of its future form. If Pluto rules seeds and the power of self-replication inherent in all seeds, then we can learn a lot about archetypal patterns by studying how Pluto works.

New Moons and Full Moons - Footprints of Spirit Across Time

by Robert Wilkinson

As we have a Full Moon coming up soon, I thought we should explore the meaning of the succession of New Moons and Full Moons throughout time. These two phenomena follow each other in an endless series of lunations, each affecting the other, and in the case of Eclipses, for months and even years afterwards.

The December 2008 Grand Mutable Cross Full Moon in Gemini-Sagittarius

by Robert Wilkinson

I've heard a LOT of people freaking out about the Grand Mutable Cross Full Moon that will happen December 12 at 22 degrees of Gemini and Sagittarius. While Mutable Crosses do indicate friction and fragmentation, sometimes these can be useful in breaking up old material we no longer need to be dealing with in our lives.
