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

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.
