How Solar and Lunar Eclipses Work Pt. 2 - Past Solar Eclipses Opened Me To New Lives

by Robert Wilkinson

In part 1 we discussed how no Eclipse should be regarded as “bad,” since they are Cosmic Recyclers who remove what we no longer need in our lives. While there are always endings and losses in areas influenced by an Eclipse, it creates a void that is sure to be filled by Life itself. These Eclipses in Cancer, Leo, and Aquarius will help us clear out things in our lives related to these signs we no longer need or want.

How Solar and Lunar Eclipses Work Pt. 1 - Is Any Eclipse Destined to Have Bad Effects?

by Robert Wilkinson

There is a lot of fear and trepidation connected to Eclipses, an unfortunate leftover from previous centuries when Eclipses were believed to foreshadow the fall of empires, dynasties, and powerful people anywhere the Eclipse shadow fell. The one last August was a “hair on fire” issue for Americans. Should we be concerned over what seems to be a leftover superstition from “traditional astrology?”

Astrology in July 2018 – Does Mercury and Mars Retrograde Mean Nothing of Significance Will Be Accomplished?

by Robert Wilkinson

This issue seems to recur every time both Mercury and Mars are retrograde at the same time. It came to my attention in 2016 when it happened, and now that it’s about to happen again, I’ve heard some rumblings that people are supposed to bail on life for a few weeks, which obviously is ridiculous advice. So what’s up and what is this time good for?

With 4 powerful septile-series aspects in play, destiny is on the move in all our lives these next 4 weeks (and 2+ years)!

The Partial Solar Eclipse New Moon at 21 Cancer Pt. 2 - What’s Happening in July-August 2018 (and through 2020!)

by Robert Wilkinson

We have a Partial Solar Eclipse New Moon in Cancer coming soon! Over the next 4 weeks (and 2y 5m) this will show us how to “perform in front of our audience” for applause, though there may be a sense of emptiness at “the end of our quest.” As this is both dim and short, and not seen much of anywhere, this eclipse, while shutting some things down in our Cancer house of life, should be regarded as a weak influence. The next Solar Eclipse in August at 19 Leo will be much brighter, stronger, and longer!

The Partial Solar Eclipse of July 2018 at 21 Cancer Pt. 1 - Who Does It Affect and for How Long?

by Robert Wilkinson

This Solar Eclipse will have a beneficial and stabilizing effect (even if occasionally a bit hard edged) for a short time. All eclipses shut something down, taking away elements of our lives no longer true for us. Over the next 2+ years we will go through endings while finding more appropriate ways to do our Being in the Cancer arena of life. This Eclipse will show us our integrity.
