A Fantastic Run Up To the Solstice!

by Robert Wilkinson

We have a bunch of great aspects at work for the next week. Time to get it done!!

It's an increasing Moon, showing rising energy. Over this weekend, we have some very good aspects, and they don't stop for a while. Use this time to get as much accomplished as possible, since Mercury has begun to slow down, preparing to go retrograde on June 26.

Next week we have the fantastic Mars sextile Uranus and Sun conjunct Jupiter! And since Mars enters the Gemini zone of the Grand Irrationality on Monday, we begin a very important time of choices and changes in our life direction, either moving into Dharma or moving out of an erroneous trajectory.

I'll be writing more about Mars triggering the Grand Irrationality soon. Until then, make plans, make connections, make calls, get things done, and you'll cruise into Mercury retrograde with all your ducks in a row, as "they" say, and should be able to accomplish a lot in the meantime!!

Enjoy the breathing room, and get it on!!

Hmmm, the event chart at my location shows my NN rising - and even more interesting, the event moon is my current Solar Return moon!

Hello Mr Robert,

In the single week of June 12, 2011, i lost my life savings, my family, and all trust and faith in my inner compass and mental roadmaps toward my "fairytale" destiny thru two separate( or at least initially presumed) chains of events. That said, i have been on a two year journey to find answers to the primeval questions, "Wwwhhhyyy?? and Whats Next? and astrology has provided the only plausable clues to my unanswerable inquest. To be honest, i initially ran into your blog 18 months ago but could not emotionally nor psychologically continue to read regularly due to the potency of the true and dead on relevance of your explanatory lessons. It was heavy, bro and i was still in the storm!! Nonetheless, the seeds and sprouts of astrology were planted in me and have demaded light and water needed to grow ever since.
So first and formost, i sending a note to say God Bless You for being a briliant and unique candle in these current time! And to ask a question.
I'm learning(much thru you) that all plantary events and their effects on our lives are linked and even the sudden happenings in our lives are energies that are built on precedents. So my question is what's the significance or correlation between the cancer t square of Aug 3, 2011(mars, uranus, and pluto) and 2013's t square( in particular mars, uranus, pluto again on Aug 2-3 2013). This t crossing was particularly painful for me as well as the 6/1, 6/15, and 7/1 eclipses of 2011 and i've yet to fill the voids from the losses I suffered.
Thanks you sir.

Post Script. My astrology sprout has become a "feed me, Seymour!" type of hunger.

Hi Robert, Is it possible in your article to perhaps allude to the signs and signals that might whisper that a trajectory is erroneous? I feel fraught with not wanting to make a "wrong" decision at this important crossroad in time. I'm wondering if many others are in the same situation?
Cheers, Ann

oh my gosh...I feel like there is so much pent-up energy roiling around for which the pressure just seems to keep building and building! (from Saturn on my co-ruler mars? - which luckily transiting neptune is trining) but let me just say that prog moon conjunct transiting neptune and square to natal moon in the first?....well I'd wish that nightmare on no one! (seems to be about releasing emotions - but an ongoing unrelenting release!!!! - took Reiki training, so probably)

and I have trines, trines, trines and yet.... nada!

The 18 gemini trined my natal neptune (and trined the lunation chart ascendant, finally!) - transiting NN trine natal venus in 15 cancer (which is natally conjunct natal uranus within 1 degree so they usually trigger together) & transiting mercury conjunct natal sun and trine the asc

and yet.... NOTHING is happening ...

sooooooooo.....I've decided that it means that I am going to win Powerball next week!!! .... which needless to say... cheered me up immensely :)

Hi all - Thanks for checking in. I can't respond to much these days due to the heavy workload and travel schedule.

Hi Ann - Impossible beyond general advice like learning detachment, discrimination, dispassion, and generating positivity on one's own behalf or another's. "Erroneous trajectory" is an individual thing. While I often can target such things when I do personal sessions, to put anything in a generic article that would have individual meaning beyond what I do is impossible. I try to remind you to stay balanced, have a sense of perspective and humor, let go of toxic people and feelings, if you can't make it better, don't make it worse, and so forth.

No one "wants" to make a "wrong decision," and that's exactly why we find a path to Higher Awareness and cultivate techniques of referencing that Higher Awareness through meditation, Chi Gong, using the I Ching, and so forth, so that we can come to understand how to make our actions aligned with Dharma. But there is no cookie cutter approach that works, since each decision stands alone for us to make.

Hi Christy - You may be overanalyzing. Saturn on Mars is forcing you to learn patience and self-discipline in rooting out what bugs you and any impatience. A Neptune trine or trine to Neptune doesn't necessarily manifest in obvious ways. More like a subtle understanding, or understanding of collective realities. Again, trines do not necessarily bring "good" things. Biggest misunderstanding in astrology. They can bring understanding and harmony of function, but these are not necessarily good or productive of good things happening when the trine is to a dysfunctional planet. And transiting Nodes also have little to no effect when they aspect other planets. They are a function of the Moon, not independent energies. I have maintained for decades that WE, and only WE, "make things happen," not the planets or whatever. Either we are acting, reacting, or being acted upon. We choose how to respond in all of these circumstances. And if you win powerball, please make a list of the good things you will do with your good fortune ahead of the event.

Thank you for what you've written in response to my question Robert, I appreciate it.
