Yes, it was 7 years ago today that I launched the original Aquarius Papers as a Salon blog. A little backstory and reflection....

Dancing On the Razor's Edge of Change At The Dawn of A New Age

by Robert Wilkinson

There is never a moment in life when things are not changing. Though we long for and clutch at comfort and predictability, still events move forward within the medium we call time. Time is how we measure our experience, our movement between our evolving points of view and the understandings that follow, and ultimately the medium in which we learn to live in the Eternal NOW.

Global Warming - How To Deal With Climate Change Deniers

by Robert Wilkinson

While I usually counsel friends and clients to put a lot of distance between themselves and disputatious people, I also believe that when appropriate we should stand up for what we know is good, true, and beautiful. Humanity is confronting a serious issue unlike any it's ever known before - a climate that's changing globally at a pace that will affect all the Earth's creature for thousands of years. There are those who argue this is not happening. What do we say in the face of such willful ignorance?

Mercury Stationary Direct Affecting Events In April, May, June and July 2011 - New Identities, New Life Activities, New Relationships, New Values

by Robert Wilkinson

Mercury goes direct in motion 3:04 am PDT April 23 (11:04 am Greenwich) and speeds 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, "the Guide of Souls," is also known as the Divine Trickster, as well as all lesser models. It is now stationary at 13 degrees of Aries, affecting that area for months to come.

The Aries-Libra Full Moon of April 2011 Pt. 2 - The Old Era is Over and A New One Begins!

by Robert Wilkinson

The Full Moon at 28 Libra-Aries has some pretty substantial aspect activity. It's the Moon and Saturn balancing all the other planets, with Pluto still chillin' on the sidelines!

The Aries-Libra Full Moon of April 2011 Pt. 1 - Shattering the Illusion Revealing Our Visible and Invisible Allies

by Robert Wilkinson

This Full Moon falls at the 28th degree of Libra-Aries. It will offer us new views on old ideas and opportunities to face some things directly while showing us what's firing up in early May. Be patient as you find a new identity through seeing the larger life you've become part of. The next two weeks offer us ways to review what we think will fulfill us, and catch glimpses of the larger field within which we can fulfill our desires at whatever level we operate.

RIP Jose Arguelles

by Robert Wilkinson

Just over three weeks ago we lost one of the most distinguished Beings of the 20th Century. He opened "doors of perception" that changed our world forever. Without his work, very few today would have speculated about the relative importance of the year 2012.

Since "all time" supposedly exists in each moment, and what happened once could happen again (if in a different form), today's article offers up some history so we may see potential parallels between "then and now."
