The Grand Irrationality New Moon in Capricorn Pt. 1 - What’s Happening in January 2014

by Robert Wilkinson

Over the next 4 weeks, the New Moon in Capricorn opens the door to new ways of “capitalizing on opportunity,” with a lot being blown apart via the intense T-square. This one puts us between old and new perspectives, and there may be a sense of chaos as we yield to our feelings and learn how to “create beauty from wilderness.” And of course, the Grand Irrationality is center stage in all our lives, as well as the world at large!!

Coping with Difficult Feelings in the Holiday Season

by Robert Wilkinson

From years of personal experience and knowing many who have had similar responses, it's evident that the holiday season may bring up difficult feelings for all kinds of reasons. Not that we all have them every year, but it is normal for many to experience sadness or some difficulty with their emotions.

The Most Important Christmas Song Ever Written

No, it's not hyberbole, since it cut loose a revolution! And given what's happening in South Sudan, it's needed more than ever. For your reflection, the original video of Band Aid performing "Do They Know It's Christmas? And from "Top of the Pops" in 1984, here's Band Aid live, performing Do They Know It's Christmas?" Please take a moment to think "that the biggest gift they'll get this year is life.... Feed the world!"

I knew the tradition of the Tannenbaum originated in Northern Europe, and figured that's where our tradition of the Christmas Tree came to be a big deal in America.

Happy Winter Solstice 2013 - Part 1

by Robert Wilkinson

Winter Solstice 2013 occurs at 9:11 am PST, 12:11 pm EST, 5:11 pm Greenwich, on Dec 21, 2013. This is the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, and from here the Solar force will get longer and stronger, a welcome relief for those of us who need lots of sunshine to keep our dispositions equally sunny. The Winter Solstice is a special time for me, where I do a specific ritual every year that yields great results. I’ll explain after we discuss the Solstice chart.
