Between Past and Future – Astrology in 2013, 2014, and 2015

by Robert Wilkinson

I wrote part of this a year ago to address the collective mania around 2012, the alleged end of the Mayan calendar, and the other hard-edged “end of time” assertions going around. Today we take a new look at the bigger picture.

I will start by noting that given the massive amount of opinions generated around the end of the Mayan calendar and what it supposedly meant, there’s almost nothing being written or spoken about what happened, and what is happening. So let’s take a new look at what happened and what’s happening!

A shift occurred. We who are sensitive to such things know that. The problem is in describing what is at the very beginning of its 2000 year emergence, given the metaphors of the past will be somewhat inadequate to describe what’s in the becoming.

As I noted last year, “it seems that many 2012 scholars and jabberheads have finally figured out that we as a humanity are ‘in between’ eras, calendars, time bubbles, Great Ages, or however else we wish to describe this strange time period.” On that note, what I offered you a year ago:

Regardless of how we choose to measure time and the meaning we give to those changes, as well as where we’re coming from and where we’re going to, ultimately there is no other time but now, and no other self than the Eternal Self. While we all have a body, feelings, 5 senses and a mind, we ARE an Eternal Soul/Spirit watching the changes and loving the love and wisdom we experience along the way.

About a year ago I did an article I titled “The In Betweens.” In it I explained ways to navigate the strange space in between life chapters, life activities, life jobs and professions, life relationships, and how to best use the down times in our process. Two small pieces from that article:

Many feel like elements of the old have ended, but the new isn't yet manifest. In manifesting a new way to do or be, Spirit works out in specific ways. When we "send out the call," or do an intention to manifest a higher way to be, Spirit always answers, though sometime it is in strange and mysterious ways...

Once we have done our due diligence to the process of moving into the future with intention and clarity around process, then we must wait while staying alert to opportunities to further the movement into the future. Here impatience and frustration with the process of "not knowing" can be very counterproductive...

(I've included a link to the article at the bottom of this one. I recommend taking a new look at it, since much that's going on now resembles what was going on when I first composed it.)

If humanity is in “the in betweens” then we all will experience that, even if in fact we’re not “in between” much of anything due to productive activity presenting itself on a daily basis. Then we’re just “doing our Dharma” and don’t have to worry about the sense of “not knowing” that arises in the collective consciousness and it not knowing where it’s been or where it’s going. We can be in the world but not of it, to quote a well-known Master.

In any case, the traps of the old 4D world are gradually ending, since perception based in subtle senses is growing stronger and will continue to grow for thousands of years to come as a function of human evolution out of the Age of Pisces into the Age of Aquarius. The reason the subtle field and our ability to access it grows stronger is due to Neptune conjunct Chiron in Pisces at the Cusp of the Age in close opposition to Trans-Pluto, or Percephone, aka “Divine Mother Energy.” This vast, subtle field of relatedness is what humanity is now opening to in this 21st century.

We are not yet left the Age of Pisces, and yet are experiencing the Age of Aquarius due to Uranus and Neptune passing through that sign, as I’ve explained in past articles. We have been awakened to Aquarian energy, dreamed it into collective consciousness over most of the past decade and a half, and await Pluto’s passage through Aquarius to see the seeds of the new Era sprout. Until then, we’re collectively in “the in betweens.”

So if you are in doubt as to what’s up because you’re sensing “the in betweens” in your life, you’re not alone. Billions of us are now in “the in betweens.” The challenge is to go inward to the heart of compassion within you, realize your one-ness with All-That-Is, and allow yourself to be in the Now, freed from the thieves of the past and future stealing your attention from what Is. You have nothing to lose but your separateness and your fears.

For your reconsideration, The In Betweens

Thank you for the reminder Robert. Very timely! I would like to know what's happening to everyone's memory though. I certainly feel like mine's left the building, gone AWOL. Anyone else out there feeling this? I know a few people who are experiencing a difference. Can we blame Neptune, Robert?!!

Beautifully expressed, Robert! 'In-between' is exactly the feeling many of us are experiencing with, possibly, anxiety and wonder. I keep telling myself not to ask the question, "What's going to happen?" Rather; ask myself, "What can I create in my life?" The 'in-betweens' are when we can frame our intentions, hopes, and wishes towards the best for all concerned. Thank you, always.

Hi Ann - Since we are now in a "time beyond time," things are somewhat of a dreamscape. We can expect that to continue as long as Neptune is in Pisces. Plus given the larger shift in the human race, many are now going inward and moving with their feelings, for better or worse. That takes emphasis away from the lower mind and its linear constructs, including rational memory. It does require more concentration and focus, but that's part of what life is about anyway.

Hi J. Sue - Thanks. Anxiety and wonder are great descriptors of what's going on. And your ability to redirect the mind from a profitless question to a potentially productive question shows you're definitely in a groove. And yes, this is the time for concentration and focus on what is personally meaningful, given the cluster in Cancer.

thanks for framing this 'no path, don't know anything, what's next' heavy weight that I recently realized I've been carrying for 6 years now, in such a beautiful solar system sized fractal! Since I am a planner by profession & temperament, it has been excruciating for me. And, hahaha, interestingly, the planning career seems to have evaporated...in alignment with this time/place, gotta love it!
