Uranus Square Pluto
Uranus/Pluto Square 2012–2015 — A World Timeline
Though we have been experiencing the influences of the coming alignments for a couple of years now, the greatest effects still lie ahead. The world as a whole will experience each and every phase of this powerful alignment together. Yet at the same time we will, of course, respond or react to the experience differently as determined by our particular conditions in our societies, economies and culture.
There is a possible insight to be gained by observing when the mutual alignments of Uranus and Pluto form intersections with the significant planetary placements of various entities in the world, National and International organizations and such. This would be when for instance Uranus may square a country’s Sun while Pluto is in conjunction to the same. It is a sort of planetary “squeeze play”, a doubling down of the influence that each will bring to one factor in that entity’s experience.
One striking example of this is the fact, created by an “accident” of our calendar that many organizations have as their inception point, (their “birth chart”), on the date at which our calendar begins, January 1. There are quite a number of Corporate, National and International charts that are set at that date. Because our calendar is “irregular”, so that every 4 years we have need to add a day, the actual position of the Sun on January 1st will vary from about 9 to 11 degrees of Capricorn. These degrees and those charts will experience this double-squeeze from Uranus and Pluto from 2013–2014.
More broadly over the time of their exact alignments from 2012–2015, Uranus and Pluto will form direct aspects to any charts which have placements from 7 to 15 degrees of Aries and Capricorn. Besides these signs and degrees, the other two cardinal signs, Libra and Cancer will also experience a significant aspect to these same degree positions as well. It is therefore a virtual certainty that any and all charts will experience some form of direct contact by Uranus and Pluto during some part of this period…
The list below enumerates some of the major countries or entities which will be experiencing this double transit of Uranus and Pluto. I will over the course of this year and onwards take a closer look at these and other charts as conditions warrant:
2012:
China (Pluto square Sun, Uranus opposite Sun)
Saudi Arabia (Pluto conjunct Ascendant, Uranus square Ascendant)
2012–13
Canada (Pluto oppose Sun, Uranus square Sun)
Cuba (Pluto square Moon, Uranus square Moon 2012, Pluto conjunct Sun, Uranus square Sun 2013)
Germany (Pluto square Sun, Uranus Oppose Sun)
2013:
European Union (Pluto conjunct Sun, Uranus square Sun)
Euro Currency (Pluto conjunct Sun, Uranus square Sun)
Greece (Pluto opposite Saturn, Uranus square Saturn)
Italy (Pluto oppose Sun, Uranus square Sun)
North Korea (Pluto conjunct Moon, Uranus square Moon)
United Kingdom (Pluto conjunct Sun, Uranus square Sun)
2013–2014:
Spain (Pluto opposite Moon, Uranus square Moon)
France (Pluto square Sun, Uranus opposite Sun)
Iran (Pluto square Sun, Uranus opposite Sun)
2014–2015:
USA (Pluto opposite Sun, Uranus square Sun)
This is by no means a complete listing but as conditions unfold I will make further observations and more detailed comments about these and other entities as we move through this historic period.
This grand alignment is certainly the most important feature of this period but it is not the whole story. In the next posting I will turn to the other major alignments and phenomena for 2012, then onto more specific observations for the US chart and other world players…
