Mercury Stationary Direct Affecting Events In June, July, August, September 2009 - Rewards!

by Robert Wilkinson

Mercury is going direct 6:22 pm PDT May 30 (May 31 east of Iceland) and is now speeding up for many weeks to come. This shows a quickening of the ability to coordinate, put things together, understand the whole and the parts, the process and the larger cycles. Mercury, or Hermes, is known as "the Guide of Souls." Also the Divine Trickster, as well as all lesser models. It now goes "direct in motion" at 23 degrees of Taurus, affecting that area for months to come.

Jupiter Conjunct Chiron and Neptune at 27 Aquarius - What Does It Mean for Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces?

by Robert Wilkinson

Today Jupiter exactly conjuncts Neptune, which is going stationary retrograde tomorrow. Both Jupiter and Chiron will continue to conjunct Neptune for many months to come, since the former is slowing to go retrograde June 15, after which it will again conjunct Neptune in early July while both are RX. What can we expect from these larger forces at work?

Mercury Retrograde Astrology in May 2009 - Judge Sonia Sotomayor Named to the Supreme Court

by Robert Wilkinson

It's interesting to me that a historical milestone has happened just as the Sun is passing through the Gemini zone of the Grand Irrationality and Venus is septile Neptune. Judge Sonia Sotomayor, a female Hispanic legal eagle, has just been nominated to the Supreme Court. While Mercury is still retrograde it is speeding up, and still in very favorable aspect to Uranus and Saturn. Judge Sonia knows how to dig deep to find knowledge from the past to deliver power in the present.

New Moon in Gemini - What's Coming in May-June 2009

by Robert Wilkinson

The New Moon falls at 4 Gemini on May 24, 2009, 5:11 am PDT, 1:11 pm Greenwich time. Although this is the first New Moon in months to fall outside the cluster of planets spanning early Capricorn through late Taurus, it still forms a "Bucket" chart shooting a massive amount of energy toward Saturn, which focuses everything. This will be a time of discovering and experiencing things in new ways, with major forks in the road coming thanks to the Lunation falling biseptile to Saturn. While some things will melt down, new developments will show us what cannot be repressed any longer.

Astrology Stress Zones for May-June 2009 Pt. 1 - Mars stimulating Aries, Taurus, Cancer, Leo, Libra, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Aquarius

by Robert Wilkinson

Mars activates and accelerates the pace of events in our lives. People currently going through dynamic activity, a hectic fast-paced period, or having the hardest time in late May are Aries, Cancers, Libras, and Capricorns born the 2nd and 3rd weeks of April, July, October, and January. The first half of June this applies to Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius people born the last 10 days of those months. The last half of June this applies to those signs born the first half of May, August, November, and February. If you were born in these zones, focus on what constitutes responsible action, given these birth periods show more highly agitated energy than usual.

While I have access to Mayan authorities, I also monitor what Carl Johan Calleman writes, since he is someone many others refer to as a source. It seems there's a global celebration going on right now. Read on to find out more.
