Life In The 21st Century - An Age in Transition

by Robert Wilkinson

While meditating on the recent death of a friend and dear Spiritual Sister, I went to her blog, and found an article I wrote about a year and a half ago that she thought was important enough that she posted it on her site at the time. So in her honor, today we’ll revisit some things I wrote about this larger transitional Age we all are moving through. I’ll do a tribute to her in a while, and compose the rest of the Eclipse articles when I feel better.

Astrology in April 2013 - On The Threshold of a Partial Lunar Eclipse at 6 Scorpio

by Robert Wilkinson

As I've told you before, it's always good to remember that no eclipse of itself is "bad," nor do we have anything to fear. There is a lot of superstition about Eclipses, mostly focusing on "dreadful" or difficult elements that often seem to accompany them. However, while all eclipses take something away and/or shut something down, an Eclipse can have beneficial effects if we just know "when to hold 'em, when to fold 'em, when to walk away, and when to run."

Spiritual Astrology in April 2013 - It's A Happy Buddha Birthday at the Full Moon of Taurus-Scorpio, a.k.a. The Wesak Festival!

by Robert Wilkinson

A Full Moon represents a potentially enlightened state, where the Moon, which symbolizes form, perfectly reflects the greater light of the Sun. It marks a time when the seeds of the previous New Moon begin to manifest. The Full Moon of Sun in Taurus and Moon in Scorpio is a very special lunation, since for millennia it has been celebrated as marking the birth and enlightenment of the Buddha, said to be the first human to attain full higher awareness and then teach the truths that show all sentient Beings how to transcend suffering.
