Mercury goes direct in motion at 8:58 pm PDT July 31, 4:58 am BST August 1, and speeds up for the next 10 weeks.

It is now stationary at 24 Cancer, affecting that area in our lives for 3 months to come.

When Progressed Inner Planets Go Retrograde

by Robert Wilkinson

Over the years, I’ve seen many charts of people who have had their progressed Mercury go retrograde for a period of time, and then it went direct. This happens for everyone born in the weeks before Mercury goes retrograde, since that means at some point in their “progressed life” their progressed Mercury will go retrograde. So what does this mean?

Paul Krassner Just Hit the Road Pranking His Way To Freedom

by Robert Wilkinson

A truly great one passed yesterday. Paul Krassner (April 9, 1932 – July 21, 2019) was an author, journalist, comedian, and founder and editor of the prototypical satiric political humor magazine, The Realist in 1958. He co-founded the YIPPIES, was a Merry Prankster, hung with Lenny Bruce and edited his autobiography How To Talk Dirty and Influence People. I had the pleasure of producing and directing a television show of one of his gigs during the Iran-Contra era. He was a very funny man, and punctured the government BS with great good humor. You can find out more about his life and work by going to Paul Krassner's website. I sure hope Groucho wasn’t right and Paul wasn't “the last living Lenny Bruce.” May his satire yield hundreds more with the same irreverence and wit. See you on the flip side, hip guy.
