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, 2013In
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.
