The Taurus-Scorpio Full Moon of April 2010 - Reversing Decay In the Heart of the Centrifuge

by Robert Wilkinson

This Full Moon is also known as the Wesak Festival, a global celebration of the life and enlightenment of the Buddha. I explained why in the previous article. Today we'll explore some astrological factors of this Lunation.

Spiritual Astrology in April, May, June 2010 - Saturn Opposition Uranus Centrifuge Spins A Second Time

by Robert Wilkinson

Today we see Saturn retrograde is again exactly opposed Uranus, indicating we're in the heart of the Cosmic Centrifuge! Everywhere in the world, people are being purified in major ways, with the whirlwind flinging us all away from some people and situations and toward other people and situations. The dross is being purified by centrifugal motion, so get ready to pour off the purified essence of what's left in your life into a new container!

Mercury Retrograde in Taurus in April-May 2010 - Accelerating the Pace to Find Stable Growth

by Robert Wilkinson

Each Mercury Retrograde period is unique, yet related to other Mercury RX periods, usually because the signs are harmonized with those of past Mercury retrogrades. This one is also entirely in Earth, approximately trine the last period in Dec 2009-Jan 2010. What does this mean for all of us?

Astrology in April, May, and June 2010 - Venus and Mars Double Biquintile Pluto, with a Stiff Dash of Mercury Square Mars on Top

by Robert Wilkinson

We are entering a true point of shift now through this weekend, with some interesting and unique possibilities. There is a very special "Kite" with Venus quintile Mars and both biquintile to Pluto still on its stationary degree. Add Mercury retrograde square Mars and it seems some boils could be lanced while offering highly specialized interactive gifts and conditions.

Astrology in April 2010 - A Yod, or Finger of God, Is Happening Right Now

by Robert Wilkinson

From yesterday through Monday, we have a Yod, or Finger of God, made by the Sun sextile Neptune with both quincunx Saturn at the last degree of Virgo. This is an intensely spiritual "expansion through sacrifice" configuration, and though quick to come and go, it will have major implications.

Astrology in April-May 2010 - Personal Turning Points and Larger Turning Points for Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces

by Robert Wilkinson

At this time, Mercury is septile Jupiter, and will be for a couple of weeks since it goes stationary retrograde at 13 Taurus on April 17-18. The septile began around April 9 and will last until April 24. This is a very long time for such an important aspect to be in play, and as all septiles, shows a major fork in the road in the cycle between these two planets. So how does it affect us individually?

The New Moon in Aries - What's Happening April and May 2010

by Robert Wilkinson

The New Moon falls at 25 Aries on April 14, 2010, 5:29 am PDT, 8:29 am EDT, 1:29 pm Greenwich (April 15 in New Zealand.) The New Moon triseptile Saturn will put the focus on what we set into motion October 2009, and mark a turning point in our collective destiny where we will either see the "narrow destiny" we have escaped from, are escaping from, or need to escape from. This will mark a probationary period where we set seeds into motion that will liberate us in some way in Spring 2011.

My Take on Channels and Channeling

by Robert Wilkinson

Let's get metaphysical! It seems there is a kerfluffle in the land of "the channels of Metatron" about the nature of Sacred Geometry and whether dualism exists in the Merkaba (Mer-Ka-Ba) and its several variations, and whether some Sacred Geometry is obsolete and new Sacred Geometry is "more valid." Today we explore issues of being overly identified with channeled material.

Astrology Class - Figuring The Astrological Birth Chart of Washington D.C.

by Robert Wilkinson

Recently a reader asked me about the birth chart for Washington DC, since I didn't include it in the birth Sun and Moon signs of the 50 United States. That got me to do some research....

Astrological Signs and How the Negative Qualities Bring Forth the Positives

by Robert Wilkinson

A long time ago I read something remarkable about the positive qualities of each sign being a direct reaction to the negative qualities of the sign preceding it. For instance, that means positive Libra traits are a direct reaction to the negatives of Virgo, and the positive Pisces traits arise from the negatives of Aquarius. This is a profound insight, and shows the way to antidoting negatives without resorting to the sign itself or its opposing sign.
