Spiritual Astrology in the Summer of 2018 – Uranus Stationary Retrograde, Saturn Stationary Direct Pt. 3

by Robert Wilkinson

Uranus went stationary retrograde at 3 Taurus on August 7, and Saturn goes stationary direct at 3 Capricorn on September 6. These indicate major sea changes in their respective areas of influence, and the trine they’ve been making since November 2016 (with a break for a tredecile not long ago!) strengthened our Spirit in 2017 wherever we have the last decan of Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Aquarius, and wherever we have the first decan of Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces since May 2018.

Spiritual Astrology in the Summer of 2018 – Uranus Stationary Retrograde, Saturn Stationary Direct Pt. 2

by Robert Wilkinson

On September 6, Saturn will go stationary direct at 3 Capricorn. As I told you in part 1, the trine between Saturn and Uranus in play since November 2016 has been beneficial in stabilizing a new Light, a new Life, a new inspiration, and a new way of blending the old with the new, as well as ways to innovate life structures so they allow for more freedom and individuality.

Saturn Conjunct the Galactic Center 2017-2018

by Robert Wilkinson

Yes, Saturn is going stationary direct very close to the Galactic Center, and will be conjunct that point for at least the next month! This event only happens once every 29 years, and marks a point of crystallization of the GC energies for another generation. I’ve written about conjunctions to the Galactic Center in the past, and today we revisit some key concepts.

Long Wave Astrology in 2018-19 – Mars Stationary Direct at 29 Capricorn Affecting Us Through 2020 Pt. 2

by Robert Wilkinson

Mars is now direct in motion! It occupies 29 Capricorn, a platform for everything Mars springs forth to achieve for many months to come. So what does this mean, and how can we use it wisely?

Long Wave Astrology in 2018-19 – Mars Stationary Direct at 29 Capricorn Affecting Us Through 2020 Pt. 1

by Robert Wilkinson

In case you didn’t notice, Mars has been in late Capricorn or early Aquarius a LONG time! The retrograde period since late June has been a time of decreased momentum, deconstruction of some ways of doing things, and a time of preparing, training, taking care of things as prelude to future constructions, and on the whole a slow-mo time. That changes now!

August 2018 Full Moon of 4 Virgo-Pisces Pt. 3 – Aspects, Configurations, and More

by Robert Wilkinson

The next two weeks requires that we demonstrate a greater sense of fellowship, Brotherhood, and Sisterhood, and surrender our preconceptions to deeper, more authentic and compassionate ways to interact with other. We are in major transformation, so stay balanced and in touch with your integrity. This one brings a lot of friction which will dislodge a lot of old stuck material!

The August 2018 Full Moon of 4 Virgo-Pisces Pt. 2 – Sabian Symbols Showing the Light of Fellowship Focused Through Intensified Relationships

by Robert Wilkinson

This Full Moon will move the heart strength we’ve examined and concentrated releases of love we developed during Mercury retrograde into a greater practical compassion or form of service. This Full Moon reverts back to having only two oppositions, one of them very wide but still powerful. We’ve finished the period of Mercury and Mars retrograde, and things will be speeding up from here. The theme of integrity continues to be prominent for the world!

The August 2018 Full Moon of 4 Virgo-Pisces Pt. 1 – Getting Past Preconceptions Learning To Navigate Deep Waters

by Robert Wilkinson

This distributive, dramatic-expressive serendipitous Full Moon occurs at 4:56 am PDT, 7:56 am EDT, 12:56 pm BST on August 26, and falls at the 4th degree of Virgo and Pisces. As with all Full Moons, use the light you’ve been seeing and expressing since the New Moon, and give it form and focus through “reading the tea leaves” to navigate metaphoric “traffic jams” in relationships.

When Transiting Saturn Makes Multiple Conjunctions With Our Saturn, Which One is the Saturn Return?

by Robert Wilkinson

A friend asked the question, “In a Transiting Saturn Return, when it goes retrograde, which one is the Saturn Return, the first conjunction or all of them?” I’ve also been asked to comment when it actually begins, and when it actually ends. Today we’ll revisit the subject.

Mercury Stationary Direct Affecting August, September, October, and November 2018 Pt. 2 – Having Gone Inward We Can Be At Ease With the World

by Robert Wilkinson

While Mercury is now direct, it will be in its shadow zone through Sept 2, after which it enters its next phase of moving through "unknown zones" where the themes of this retrograde will be played out in forward motion. So for the next 2 weeks, expect some very productive intersections of past and future, giving us a chance to show what we’ve learned since July! Again, the theme has been and continues to be about past, present, and future "focus on inner things rather than outer things” so we can find a newer, more “adult” way to do our Being!

A Taoist Zen Moment

The gap between what is and what could be seems limitless, and yet each moment fulfills the promise of that moment. I have strived for greater awareness my entire life, and yet in the moments I flash that I am more aware than I used to be, it’s already past and the limitless gulf beckons me to walk on.
