Jupiter Square Uranus (August 20–21, 2013)

2013-T-Square

This is the “oth­er side” of
the Grand T‑Square for this year (and remem­ber, this is the first of three such
alignments…this same T‑Square for­ma­tion will repeat two more times in the
first part of 2014).

This time you have Jupiter Squaring
Uranus, and the Song of Spir­it is here to remind you that you need to always
strive to main­tain an inte­gral bal­ance between your Self-Becom­ing Individuation
(Uranus/Freedom) and your Imma­nent, Ever-Renew­ing Foun­tain-Source or Cen­ter found
and formed by the Avatar of your Root-Source Prin­ci­ples (Jupiter/Truths).

Here again is what I said about this in
my 2013 Gen­er­al Forecast:

 The Great Car­di­nal T‑Square, Uranus,
Plu­to and Jupiter August 7–21, 2013

In
the month of August, com­ing between the two exact align­ments of Uranus and
Plu­to in 2013, Jupiter will bring to bear a mes­sage from the Foundation-Source,
the ever-renew­ing well­spring of life that flows from the sign of Cancer.
Jupiter rules the Prin­ci­ples, Truths and Beliefs that give and form the
mean­ings of your life jour­ney, that form the steady guide for your
self-unfold­ment and pur­pose­ful growth. Jupiter is offer­ing this spiritual
mes­sage from the heart, from the source, from the roots of your life. For as
you strug­gle to find your way between Uranus and Plu­to, between Free­dom and
Order, between self-asser­tion and self-sac­ri­fice, you will need this cooling,
calm­ing and refresh­ing reminder of what you stand upon, from whence you have
come and what holds you true to one another.

Jupiter
in Can­cer serves to restore and renew your feel­ings of secu­ri­ty that originate
in your most inti­mate and pro­found expe­ri­ence that you are con­nect­ed or part of
some­thing greater than just your­self. As you grow and devel­op, in life after
life, you will find your own true cen­ter by being and belong­ing with one
anoth­er. It will usu­al­ly begin in your affec­tions and bonds expe­ri­enced in your
imme­di­ate fam­i­ly group, and it will slow­ly and increas­ing­ly extend itself in
any life, (and over many life­times, in life after life), into your
ever-unfold­ing expan­sion of con­scious­ness and spir­i­tu­al connectedness.

This
sense of belong­ing, of root­ed­ness and secu­ri­ty, expands from your immediate
fam­i­ly out­ward to your vil­lage, and then per­haps it may move out fur­ther to a
local area of sev­er­al com­mu­ni­ties. Then it con­tin­ues to grow out­ward even
fur­ther in your belong­ing to some group­ing per­haps ground­ed in your identity
with an eth­nic group, and then per­haps into some greater group­ing of many
eth­nic­i­ties. Even­tu­al­ly you find an even larg­er sense of iden­ti­ty and meaning
with­in an ever more com­plex cul­ture and soci­ety, until you final­ly experience
your pro­found famil­iar­i­ty with all who jour­ney in the fam­i­ly known as
“human”.

This
fun­da­men­tal spir­i­tu­al truth of con­nect­ed­ness will final­ly blos­som forth, as you
reach the “promised land”, the pro­found spir­i­tu­al epiphany of
under­stand­ing that all life is one, all beings are one with one anoth­er, that
every­thing in this cos­mos is a spark of the one Great Spir­it in whom we live
and love and find our true being.

As
Jupiter forms its Square and Oppo­si­tion, it will bring to bear these influences
upon the dynam­ic strug­gle of Uranus and Plu­to. The chal­lenge for every person
and for all group­ings of peo­ple will be to hold to the high­est lev­els of
inspi­ra­tion that Jupiter can pro­vide here, remind­ing one and all of their
com­mon bonds and inter­ests, elic­it­ing a desire for greater inclu­sive­ness and
gen­er­at­ing greater con­sid­er­a­tions for the well-being of one anoth­er. If they
can do this, then the strug­gles of Uranus with Plu­to can be mod­u­lat­ed and even
mit­i­gat­ed by find­ing that deep­er cen­ter where all can join togeth­er, founded
upon these shared feel­ings of belonging.

With
Jupiter’s influ­ence the fer­vent dri­ve for free­dom by Uranus can be soothed,
with a gen­tle reminder that as much as you must assert and be freer yourself
you must equal­ly acknowl­edge your need to care for one anoth­er too. The
Plu­ton­ian dri­ve to cre­ate, main­tain and extend your own sacred space must be
equal­ly bal­anced by the con­sid­er­a­tion you show for the sacred space of one and
all. 

But
there is also the very real pos­si­bil­i­ty of indi­vid­u­als and groups react­ing in a
more parochial way to this chal­lenge, and out of fear-formed echoes of their
past be steered by the emo­tion­al ties of Jupiter in Can­cer to react in more
exclu­sive or defen­sive ways. They will act more nar­row­ly, and iden­ti­fy with
whom they belong, whether fam­i­ly, tribe or cul­ture by build­ing walls not
bridges and so cre­ate an even greater gulf between “us ver­sus them”.
Then this oppor­tu­ni­ty for growth and self-tran­scen­dence could be lost in those
ego-dri­ven fears that have echoed through­out oth­er his­tor­i­cal peri­ods faced
with sim­i­lar demands for self-transformation.

The
chal­lenge will be laid down, either to rise up to a high­er under­stand­ing and
con­duct with one anoth­er, to make some mutu­al sac­ri­fice and unite…or to face
the divide with­in and between us by refus­ing to join in a greater whole, to
give into fear and so increase those sep­a­ra­tions from one anoth­er. And this
fear-based fail­ing would most cer­tain­ly quick­en the descent to a more difficult
des­tiny for one and all. The choice will be there, and each must decide…but
there is hope…

Yes,
it is from Jupiter’s mean­ings as mod­u­lat­ed by the Sign of Can­cer that you can
find the first of three offer­ings to help you nav­i­gate the year ahead. But
there is much to be hoped for here, because Jupiter is but one part of a gift
of inspi­ra­tion and mean­ing that comes with­in a three-fold bless­ing from your
Star­ry com­pan­ions this year. For what Jupiter is anchor­ing and car­ry­ing forward
to you in August is the mean­ing and mes­sage of the oth­er great align­ment this
year, and which will most thank­ful­ly still be in force dur­ing Jupiter’s August
align­ments with Uranus and Pluto…it is the radi­ant beau­ty of the year, the
Grand Trine in Water of Jupiter, Sat­urn and Neptune.

The
first half of the T‑Square, Jupiter oppo­site Plu­to, high­light­ed your
ever-present need to create/preserve/protect your own sacred space while at the
same time accord­ing and affirm­ing the very same to every other…For you are
here to learn to guide and so con­duct your­self with this Fun­da­men­tal Truth: 

That you under­stand and so come to expe­ri­ence Life as One and fundamentally
Indi­vis­i­ble, (the Great Illu­sion is Sep­a­ra­tion), and that All of space is
Sacred. That you are part of and sur­round­ed by count­less, divine­ly sparkling,
sacred spaces known to you as the Universe…That you and they are of the One,
all of one Energy/Form, and that just as you are a spark of this Divine Reality
so too are the innu­mer­able sparks that fill the entire­ty you know as Creation.
You must not and shall not trespass.

Now this
side of the T‑Square con­cerns anoth­er Avatar in this Truth of Tri­par­tite Spirit.
The Lord Uranus is the vehi­cle of your Indi­vid­u­a­tion, of the Self-Unfold­ment of
You, of what is called in the Ancient Teach­ings your “Swab­ha­va”.

This
is the prin­ci­ple that Dri­ves the Sto­ry that is Cre­ation, for there resides a spark
of the Divine at the core of every par­ti­cle of Cre­ation, (for Space is not
emp­ty but is tru­ly a Full­ness, Full-Filled by an unfold­ing, devel­op­ing Consciousness
behind all Energies/Forms), and yet each such Energy/Form is also a Distinct,
Unique instance of Spir­it. That pro­pelling the growth or unfold­ment of each
Spark of the Divine, resid­ing in every Instance of Cre­ation, is a Divine
sparkling Con­scious­ness, an Indi­vid­u­al­i­ty, that is won­drous­ly reveal­ing itself
to itself and so for the One…For this is what is your Cre­ation, a self-unfold­ing, self-becom­ing host of Indi­vid­u­als, the many of the One.

Yet
here too with­out the Gift of the Spir­it, with­out the Bal­ance that is Bliss,
with­out Inte­gral Devel­op­ment where­by each Avatar con­tributes to the whole and
so be of and for the One, the real­iza­tion of this Indi­vid­u­al­i­ty could become skewed from
or depart from the whole­ness of which, from which it shall and should obtain
its most essen­tial directionality. 

So,
here the Lord Jupiter comes into this Align­ment, offer­ing to Uranus’
insis­tent­ly Indi­vid­u­at­ing Song a
Cen­ter­ing, Inte­grat­ing and Lov­ing reminder of Ori­gin, of the Roots of Creation…That
every being is a one or indi­vid­ual, yes this is True. But every being is also a
one of the ones of the ONE. So the self-unfold­ment of any and all Energy/Forms,
which begin as unself-con­scious sparks of the Divine to rise and unfold into
ful­ly Self-Con­scious and Awak­ened Humans (and much more beyond), that this Principle
of Indi­vid­u­a­tion is equal­ly and lov­ing­ly guid­ed and informed by this Intuiting/Knowing/Feeling,
this Truth of Being: 

That
you are all related…

That
you are all of One Fam­i­ly, and

You
are here to Love and Care for one another…

As
you Become, as you Awaken…

And
Return, Singing your Songs…

Home, one with the One.
