Mars Square Pluto & Sun Square Uranus (December 30, 2013)

Uranus-Pluto-Mars

This is the “oth­er half” of the year-end Mars’ align­ments, the first one being Mars Oppo­site Uranus on Decem­ber 25. But even more than this, what you are expe­ri­enc­ing here is the pre­view of the Grand Car­di­nal Cross of 2014, which will be most evi­dent in April 2014.

For dur­ing this peri­od that runs rough­ly from Decem­ber 24 until about Jan­u­ary 8 (and beyond real­ly), you will have Mars, Jupiter, Uranus and Plu­to form­ing up with one anoth­er in the same Grand Cross that will be much more exact in April, and that Grand Cross will be the most sig­nif­i­cant and sig­na­ture aspect pat­tern for 2014.

At this point in time, var­i­ous oth­er plan­ets will align to form a res­o­nance with this ongo­ing and devel­op­ing pat­tern of these out­er plan­ets. Yes­ter­day it was Mer­cury align­ing with Sun while it also squared Uranus. Today it is Mars Squar­ing Plu­to while the Sun Squares Uranus. Tomor­row on Decem­ber 31, it will be Mer­cury con­junct Plu­to while Mer­cury also squares Mars.

Final­ly, as the New Year begins on Wednes­day, which also hap­pens to be a New Moon, the Sun will align with Plu­to. Then on Jan­u­ary 2, the Sun will Square Mars while Mer­cury moves to oppose Jupiter. Then the Sun will oppose Jupiter on Jan­u­ary 5. Final­ly for now, Mars will square Jupiter on Jan­u­ary 8.

That is quite a Dance of the Plan­ets and quite a flow of Spir­i­tu­al Ener­gy through and around you by which you are to lift your under­stand­ing about your­self and your world!

For today, let us focus upon the mean­ings that are brought to bear by Mars and Plu­to, and then briefly con­sid­er the mes­sage from the Sun and Uranus…

Where­as the Mars/Uranus Oppo­si­tion posit­ed a chal­lenge for you to find and walk the inte­gral path that com­bines your need for Social Har­mo­ny and Indi­vid­ual Free­dom too, the Mars/Pluto Square requires of you quite a dif­fer­ent aware­ness and response. For the mean­ing and mes­sages of any square imply a chal­lenge, a strug­gle and oppor­tu­ni­ty that is more with­in your­self, (though of course, giv­en the real­i­ty of life, you will cer­tain­ly expe­ri­ence this between one anoth­er too).

Mars, your Avatar of Desire and Action, is singing to you now of your need for Social Jus­tice and Togeth­er­ness, and you are moti­vat­ed to eager­ly join or expand the many forms of rela­tion­ship with one anoth­er. But in so doing you are inclined to defer to the needs of the group or of the beloved in order to bring about or main­tain what would seem greater Equal­i­ty and Beau­ty in your relationships.

But a dan­ger is always present with Mars push­ing upon the enve­lope of your Desires, and so in this mat­ter you may give over­much, being assertive in seem­ing­ly very spir­i­tu­al and self­less ways, and so by pas­sion­ate­ly pur­su­ing the good for the oth­er or oth­ers you actu­al­ly end up caus­ing harm to your­self and to them too. That in this pur­suit of Bal­ance and Beau­ty you tip the scales over much, so that you and they are harmed by a fail­ure to forge what is right and true, a rela­tion­ship that is a seam­less­ly adap­tive response to the needs of one anoth­er, that is as it should be, a dynam­i­cal­ly bal­anced expe­ri­ence of giv­ing and receiv­ing. Instead, by your “over-relat­ing”, you fail to forge a pro­por­tion­al, rec­i­p­ro­cal pat­tern for meet­ing the needs of one another. 

Plu­to, your Avatar of Will and Sacred Space will weigh in here now, and whether it will help you to right what may be wrong or bring fur­ther harm, well that is on you and your aware­ness truly.

Plu­to can lead you into greater error here if you give in to the one and only thing which will delay your jour­ney towards the Light, and that is Fear. For the Pow­er of Plu­to is yours, and you may wield it as a mighty force of self-trans­for­ma­tion and self-becom­ing, as you turn this Spir­i­tu­al Pow­er of Will back upon your­self and there­by exer­cise the only con­trol you will ever tru­ly have but have yet to mas­ter, which is to have Self-Con­trol and there­by Self-Determination…For by so doing you will ful­fill your des­tiny and become a tru­ly Free Co-Cre­ator and be wel­comed into the Com­pa­ny of Light.

But you have to learn to do this, and until you do you may fall…Fall into the error of fear and mis­use this gift in a vain and futile attempt to con­trol anoth­er, to force in this case a rela­tion­ship to be what you will it to be, to make anoth­er be some­thing for you, ever in and by your “gen­eros­i­ty” or “self­less­ness”. And in this, you will and must ulti­mate­ly fail. Oh, you may for a time have “pow­er” over anoth­er, or many oth­ers. You will bear down upon them and break them for a time, or more like­ly end up sur­round­ed by weak­er wills, and this will not ful­fill or sat­is­fy you, but instead it will dimin­ish you and them.

For Pow­er, your Will-Pow­er, comes from what­ev­er is the source of that pow­er, and it is this which must be hon­ored and served if you wish and will to do Good…and with regards to your jour­ney, this means that you are here to learn that it is the One with­in you, the Light with­in you, the Love with­in you that you must serve and be guid­ed by, or you will fall and have to try again, to try yet again.

Plu­to in Capri­corn sings the Song of Respon­si­bil­i­ty and Ancient Tra­di­tions now, and that there are Teach­ings and Wis­dom and Ways of Being that you need mas­ter, that you must learn to always Respect, Hon­or and Pro­tect the Sacred Space of any oth­er as well as your own. For the Great­est Sin is to Tres­pass, to force anoth­er to Believe or Do what you Will them to do…and this you must nev­er do.

Your over-eager desire for rela­tion­ship must be guid­ed, restrained and lov­ing­ly formed into a greater under­stand­ing, that before me is anoth­er who is a self-becom­ing spir­it too, and they must freely learn and choose to do what is Lov­ing and of the Light. You must always remem­ber this and by so doing keep their space and spir­it as sacred as your own.

Yes, these are mighty lessons, but you have faced them count­less times before, and in each and every day you will face them too, in lit­tle and large ways you are asked to remem­ber this…

That here before me, this beloved that is before me…

There I am too.

 

The Sun and Uranus also weigh in on today’s mes­sage from the stars, and again it is a square…You face anoth­er choice and chal­lenge, to turn away or towards the Light.

The Sun is your Avatar of Self, your pure poten­tial­i­ty which is that you are a “being who is becom­ing”, held by what is called the Mon­ad or Spark of the Divine Flame at the heart of you, and your unique Indi­vid­u­al­i­ty will self-unfold through forms and worlds beyond reckoning.

Uranus is your Avatar of Indi­vid­u­al­i­ty and Free­dom, most clear­ly expe­ri­enced by you in the insis­tent dri­ve to ever expand your Con­scious­ness so that it may encom­pass a Greater Under­stand­ing and so move into ever larg­er forms of Self-Realization.

You will cease­less­ly move into Forms of Self-Real­iza­tion that are right and true to your pur­pos­es in that Time and Space. But, giv­en that your Nature as Spir­it is to Grow, any Thought or Form or Thought-Form will only last but for a time…What brought you to where you are can­not take you where you must go next. You must be Free, you must break up the old form and be reformed…And this is what Uranus calls for you to remem­ber now, to lis­ten now for those Winds of Spir­it are blow­ing, stronger now, and a world will pass away as a new one rises.

You are called to remember,

Beat­en Paths are for the bro­ken and beaten…

It is time to be a Trail-Blaz­er again.

To know and to believe in the Pow­er of New Beginnings…

To pre­serve and pass on Traditions,

By hon­or­ing and fol­low­ing the Path,

That your fore­bears blazed long ago.

They did not wish for you to remain the same…

They wished for you what they also won,

To be Free.

Mercury Conjunct Sun & Mercury Square Uranus (December 29, 2013)

Mercury-Conjunct-Sun-in-Capricorn

An answer is offered as the Avatars of Self and Mind align…

There was a Gift of Spir­i­tu­al Inspi­ra­tion released for you dur­ing the last ret­ro­grade of Mer­cury in October/November 2013, for that is when the Sun and Mer­cury aligned while Mer­cury was ret­ro­grade and a seed was plant­ed that will bear its fruit for you now.

That is the way of this, the Cycling of Ener­gies and Forms, of the World and you unfold­ing and becom­ing so much more. A seed is plant­ed at a “New Moon” or begin­ning of any cycle, ger­mi­na­tion fol­lows and then con­tin­ues to unfold, as the pure poten­tial becomes real­ized with the devel­op­ment of var­i­ous sub­stan­ti­a­tions until a rev­e­la­tion of mean­ing is realized/released at the “Full Moon” moment, which is where you find Mer­cury and the Sun at this time.

The seed in Novem­ber con­cerned the themes of Scor­pio, and it was a gift to help you reach towards a deep­er union upon which all your hopes and dreams depend. The inspi­ra­tion offered by Mer­cury and the Sun was to remind you that in order to forge or rein­force those deep­er con­nec­tions with one anoth­er, you need to remem­ber that you are to approach these sacred spaces of We with Humil­i­ty, Self-Reflec­tion and Courage.

When you enter into these great mys­ter­ies of Union, with regard to both your­self and the beloved, as you draw clos­er togeth­er you will real­ize that there is still so much more to learn about your­self and about the oth­er, and you will grow togeth­er only by sur­ren­der­ing your ego and pride…so be Humble. 

The sec­ond gift was that you need to main­tain your self-aware/­self-reflec­tiv­i­ty, that all you are here to mas­ter and “con­trol” tru­ly is your­self, so you must try to under­stand what echoes are with­in you that cre­ate your doubts and fears. You must do what you can to step beyond your self-cast shad­ows, and so do your part to help cre­ate a sacred space for the oth­er to enter in with you…so be Self-Aware.

The third gift was the most pre­cious reminder, that you have with­in you a spark of the Divine, which is the Foun­tain-Source of this entire and won­drous Cre­ation itself. That in order to reach out to one anoth­er you can rise above those very doubts and fears because of this great lega­cy. You are endowed with won­drous pow­ers beyond your know­ing, and that these will slow­ly become more and more avail­able to you as you mas­ter yourself…so be Fearless. 

From this seed­ing in Scor­pio you find your­self now betwixt and between the Truths of Can­cer and Capri­corn in your mind. And you will often find your­self at such times, when faced with one way of being or anoth­er, that you may stum­ble and fall into error, of feel­ing or believ­ing that you must choose between the two, to hold to one and deny or project the other…but this is not the path, this is not the Way of Wisdom.

You are shown these two ways to under­stand that they both are inte­gral to one anoth­er, they only can work togeth­er, for they arise and find mean­ing from and through one anoth­er. You are being shown that though your mind is sen­si­tized to the Capri­corn Way now, that that is why, pre­cise­ly why, you need now to be remind­ed of this “oth­er way” of Can­cer too.

You will know when you lis­ten to your Heart and feel with your Head, that you real­ly could not choose any­way. For how could you “choose” between Can­cer and Capri­corn, between your Home and your Des­tiny. How could you choose between fol­low­ing your feel­ings of the moment and yet fail in your hon­or-bound duty to one another…For in the end, they are the same.

The Dichoto­my of Truth here is that needs will arise and be met at first in a more nat­ur­al and spon­ta­neous man­ner, but that over time these respons­es will grow into struc­tures, roles and forms of inter­ac­tion that become the very sub­stance and fab­ric of ful­fill­ing your respon­si­bil­i­ty and pur­pose in your world. Yet, it is also true that over time that those very struc­tures of duty, if not kept refreshed by the waters of authen­tic feel­ings and sen­si­bil­i­ties will turn into dust and ash, they become mere for­mal­i­ties or habits with­out true car­ing, lack­ing true love.

Yes you must stand betwixt and between and be the ful­crum of the weav­ing way of Spir­it, you must hold in your mind both Capri­corn and Can­cer too…

But there is anoth­er Song of Spir­it singing today. Mer­cury is align­ing with what forms his own high­er expres­sion, for Uranus is your Avatar of Indi­vid­u­al­i­ty and Free­dom, and finds his most supreme expres­sion in these realms of Con­scious­ness. Uranus is the very Elic­i­tor of your High­er Mind, he is the true Source and Sub­stance of your Inspired Mind and those won­drous Thought-Forms too.

Today Mer­cury is Squar­ing Uranus, and so there is a need to under­stand this mes­sage that is brought to your “Low­er” mind of Mer­cury by your more Intu­ition­al Mind of Uranus. The well-won knowl­edge and teach­ings that Mer­cury in Capri­corn is guid­ed by, that have been proven true and most wor­thy and wise, will nec­es­sar­i­ly face chal­lenges because of the nature of who and what you are. For Spir­it must grow, and you will there­fore seek to for­ev­er expand beyond the known and famil­iar, to encom­pass a Greater Under­stand­ing. This larg­er sphere of know­ing may arise from Intu­ition­al prompt­ings, or through the dawn­ing recog­ni­tion that the present expla­na­tions and thought-forms do not so won­der­ful­ly reflect the expe­ri­ences you are encoun­ter­ing in your jour­ney here below.

Whether aris­ing from with­in, or through dis­so­nances from with­out, you will have need of Uranus’ gift of bend­ing thought into ever greater and more sub­tle spaces of com­pre­hen­sion, to take you from old but out­worn cer­tain­ties and help you to recov­er your sense of won­der, to see anew your world and your­self too. For this is tru­ly how those old­er teach­ings did at some point arise, that some­one at some point ques­tioned the rea­son and know­ing of their day and won­dered, “Could there be more than this, could there be some oth­er know­ing to explain and show the way?”

This is the Gift of Uranus, to shake up your complacency…to make you ques­tion and won­der again, and find new beams of light that will illu­mi­nate and show you a bet­ter way.

When all are in agree­ment, when every­one is of one mind, then Uranus will sure­ly come, he will stir Men­tal Path­ways and raise the Ques­tions that must be asked…and that is most true today.

This a time to Question…

It is a time to break free of your Certainties.

It is time to be who you are, Spirit…

It is time to Think Anew,

It is time to Won­der and Dare.

2014 — Collection of Articles on Uranus/Pluto

Uranus-Pluto

 

This is a col­lec­tion of the var­i­ous post­ings I have done on the Uranus Plu­to Square as well as Plu­to in Capri­corn and Uranus in Aries. It would prob­a­bly be best to read them first as pre­sent­ed in this ordering.

Post­ing from Gen­er­al Fore­cast for 2012:

Uranus Square Plu­to (June 24, 2012 & Sep­tem­ber 19, 2012, then May 20, 2013…and beyond)

The Cycles of the Out­er Plan­ets — Gifts of the Spirit

The cycles of the 3 out­er­most plan­ets, (Uranus, Nep­tune and Plu­to), their move­ment around the zodi­ac indi­vid­u­al­ly and their inter­sect­ing aspects with one anoth­er, cre­ate fun­da­men­tal and long-wave releas­es of spir­i­tu­al forces, what I like to think of as trans­for­ma­tion­al Gifts of the Spir­it that dri­ve and deter­mine per­son­al and social devel­op­ments for us on Earth.

When we con­sid­er the cycle of each plan­et through the 12 signs of the zodi­ac we can see how each plan­et brings to bear its influ­ence through the mean­ing of that sign for def­i­nite peri­ods. Their cycles are: Uranus approx­i­mate­ly 84 years, or 7 years in a sign; Nep­tune about 164 years, or about 14 years in a sign and Plu­to approx­i­mate­ly 245 years, which because of its high­ly eccen­tric orbit is in a sign for 12 to 32 years. Their orbits form a ratio from Uranus to Plu­to of about 1 to 2 to 3.

When we con­sid­er the rela­tion­ship of these 3 plan­ets to one anoth­er, that is their inter­sect­ing cycles, we have the fol­low­ing cycles of them mov­ing from one con­junc­tion to their next con­junc­tion with one anoth­er: Neptune/Pluto about 492 years; Uranus/Neptune about 172 years; and (the one we are cur­rent­ly sub­ject to) Uranus/Pluto about 110–140 years.

These 3 cycles cre­ate releas­es of dif­fer­ent forms of spir­i­tu­al quick­en­ing for per­son­al and social devel­op­ments here on Earth. Each has its own char­ac­ter and role to play and we have been the recip­i­ents of all 3 releas­ing new seeds of devel­op­ment in the last 100+ years. We expe­ri­enced the longer wave cycle of Nep­tune con­junct Plu­to in 1891–92; we received the sec­ond lev­el release of Uranus con­junct Nep­tune in 1993; and we expe­ri­enced the third lev­el of Uranus con­junct Plu­to in 1965–66.

What we are expe­ri­enc­ing now is the next step of that Uranus/Pluto seed­ing, the unfold­ment of that ini­tial release of spir­i­tu­al ener­gy that we received in 1965–66 has now reached the moment where they are at the point of being one quar­ter the way around their cycle, and we must face choic­es and make decisions.

**As a point of inter­est we should note that the most sig­nif­i­cant align­ment all three plan­ets can have with one anoth­er, their triple or Super Con­junc­tion (all 3 being in the same zodi­a­cal space), which should be con­sid­ered as the most sig­nif­i­cant seed­ing of spir­i­tu­al ener­gies pos­si­ble, last took place about 580 BC. This was of course the peri­od which wit­nessed the spir­i­tu­al teach­ings that were offered to the world by such great souls as Con­fu­cius, Bud­dha, Lao Tzu, Zoroast­er, Pythago­ras and many oth­ers whose wis­dom and influ­ence still guides us today. (If you are curi­ous, the next super con­junc­tion­al release of Spir­it will take place around 3,368).

 

But let us turn now to our chal­lenge and our opportunity…

The Roles of Uranus & Pluto

To meet the chal­lenges and seize the oppor­tu­ni­ties of Uranus square Plu­to we need to under­stand the spir­i­tu­al nature of what their rela­tion­ship cre­ates gen­er­al­ly, and see what their most recent align­ments might pro­vide as insights into our present stage in the ever-unfold­ing becom­ing of our spir­i­tu­al poten­tials. We espe­cial­ly need to under­stand what their last con­junc­tion released, and what we need to do to face the chal­lenge pre­sent­ed by the square we meet now.

The three out­er plan­ets should be viewed as the spir­i­tu­al agents of trans­for­ma­tion; they are emis­saries from the cos­mos that cre­ate the poten­tial for each and every one of us to move beyond our mere con­di­tioned self, the self defined and delim­it­ed by our Sat­urn­ian mold­ings and struc­tures. They do not “cause” our devel­op­ment but serve to elic­it, quick­en and sup­port our spir­i­tu­al unfold­ment and evo­lu­tion, which would even­tu­al­ly unfold since all of “That”, our poten­tial to become, is con­tained with­in our monadic self, but it would devel­op at a much slow­er pace. They are tru­ly Gifts of the Spir­it, lift­ing us up upon that steep­er, truer path of ful­fill­ment. Uranus is said to rule high­er Mind, Nep­tune to rule high­er Love and Plu­to to rule high­er Will. Togeth­er they are said to rep­re­sent the 3 aspects of the Divine work­ing in our world; The Mind, The Love and The Will of the Divine for our Solar System.

This is why the cycle align­ments of Uranus and Plu­to gov­ern the cre­ative, dynam­ic and cathar­tic inter­sec­tions of Mind and Will. It is Uranus’ role to be the instru­ment for the release of new idea forms, (Seed Ideas), that quick­en the devel­op­ment of thought in our world. At its most basic, yet equal­ly most pro­found lev­el, the entire­ty of cre­ation can be seen as pure con­scious­ness. That means that the hier­ar­chies of all forms of exis­tence in this cos­mos, from the small­est to the great­est, are the count­less instances of the uni­verse com­ing to con­scious­ly know itself (“I am THAT, I am!”). But Mind alone is not all…

It is Plu­to’s role to be the instru­ment of form­ing the bound­aries in our Space, the spaces of Space with­in which each Mon­ad unfolds and devel­ops; Plu­to rules the pow­er of the Will which is the pow­er to shape and re-shape (or trans­form) Space itself. From the high­est to the low­est, each mon­ad, each spark of the Divine, unfolds and devel­ops with­in its space with­in Space, yet each mon­ad will always be fun­da­men­tal­ly part of each and every oth­er mon­ad because they have all come from and con­tin­ue their exis­tence in and through the One.

The pro­gres­sive devel­op­ment of each and every mon­ad or spir­it, from the low­est forms of exis­tence to forms beyond our present capac­i­ty to com­pre­hend, requires the bend­ing and trans­form­ing of the spaces of Space for each mon­ad to devel­op with­in. This devel­op­ment of Space, and of the bound­aries between each and every mon­ad’s sacred space of self, is gov­erned by the Will.

Plu­to for us rules this for­ma­tion and trans­for­ma­tion by the will; and in this cycle with Uranus, Plu­to reveals the trans­for­ma­tion­al pow­er of the release of new ideas and new forms of think­ing upon exist­ing struc­tures or spaces.

This is their dynam­ic inter­play: New ideas lead to new spaces and rela­tion­ships for spir­it to devel­op through; but those bound­ed spaces even­tu­al­ly begin to prove lim­it­ing to the fur­ther devel­op­ment of spir­it; and so new idea forms are released to estab­lish new for­ma­tions of space and rela­tion­ships; and so all mon­ads, includ­ing us, can con­tin­ue their unfold­ment through Life-Consciousness-Spirit.

So let us turn to the ques­tion of our time, to see what has been revealed and required by this cycle in the lat­est series of align­ments of Uranus and Plu­to, and what might be in store for us in the next sev­er­al years…

The Uranus/Pluto Cycle

To under­stand what is before us we must remem­ber, remem­ber that we have been mov­ing through a series of cycles, and turn­ing points with­in cycles, for a very long time indeed. To tru­ly under­stand where we are now, and what lies ahead, we do need to con­sid­er what we have emerged from.

The Uranus/Pluto square that we face is the next step in a series of seed-forms that was most recent­ly renewed in 1965–66 when Uranus and Plu­to formed their last con­junc­tion in the sign of Vir­go. Much as in their pre­vi­ous con­junc­tions of 1710 in Leo and 1850–51 in Aries, this encounter of Mind and Will brought about a trans­for­ma­tion of thought-forms and spa­tial rela­tion­ships or bound­aries. Cer­tain­ly, any­one present dur­ing the 1960’s or look­ing back upon that peri­od can note the extra­or­di­nary degree to which change erupt­ed across the planet.

Uranus rul­ing Mind (as well as Inde­pen­dence, Free­dom and Inven­tive­ness) when com­bined with and cat­alyzed by Plu­to rul­ing Will (as well as Trans­for­ma­tion, Con­trol and Rebirth) togeth­er quick­ened devel­op­ments in our world in almost every are­na. Tech­no­log­i­cal advances then gave birth to our wired world of today along with med­ical dis­cov­er­ies that have now pushed us to the edge of the pow­er to cre­ate life itself. Per­son­al, social and glob­al trans­for­ma­tions erupt­ed through­out the social sphere as waves of social progress were released for Civ­il Rights, Wom­en’s Rights, the Free Speech & Peace Move­ments and many, many others.

But the com­bi­na­tion of Uranus and Plu­to releas­es ener­gies which form reac­tions that are not uni­di­rec­tion­al; as much as new Ideas and new Spaces emerge at such a time they do so with­in, and often in reac­tion to, the exist­ing par­a­digms of thought and struc­ture. The emer­gent spir­it of “the New” chal­lenges the entrenched spir­it of “the old ways”, and so a strug­gle is waged in all spheres. Whether the forces for change bub­ble up from below, or are imposed from above, equal­ly the push back or resis­tance to change can come from either realm.

As much as the new ideas cre­ate new spaces and new forms of rela­tion­ships, the old order will seek to exert its Free­dom (Uranus) and use exist­ing pow­er (Will/Pluto) to resist and turn back the tides of change. This too is part of the dynam­ic, spi­ral evo­lu­tion of Spir­it, part of the “the plan” so to speak, for as much as there may be tremen­dous gains in doing away with the “old order”, there is much that would be lost and should be pre­served as well. And equal­ly, the mere emer­gence of new ways of think­ing does not in fact mean that it is always “bet­ter”. So, a strug­gle ensues between the forces of transformation/revolution and the forces for preservation/reaction.

What was released by the Uranus/Pluto con­junc­tion in the Six­ties con­tin­ued to work itself through the hier­ar­chies of mate­r­i­al, per­son­al and social orders, trans­form­ing what was, but with ebbs and flows, progress and regres­sions, until we approach the next turn­ing in their cycle…

This is what we have been feel­ing now for the last cou­ple of years, we have been draw­ing clos­er to the next piv­ot point and we have expe­ri­enced a fore­shad­ow­ing, we have felt the head winds blow­ing stronger and stronger as we move to the next fork in our journey…

Now we are here and we should meet with great expectan­cy the next phase of this spir­i­tu­al drama…We face chal­lenges, choic­es and deci­sions and we can no longer post­pone the inevitable…

For this is to be the time in which we choose which future we wish to live in.

Uranus in Aries, Plu­to in Capricorn

Uranus in Aries will square Plu­to in Capri­corn from 2012 till 2015. What was released in 1965–66 as a new dis­pen­sa­tion, a new dynam­ic in the rela­tion­ship of Mind and Will, between the Indi­vid­ual Spir­it and the Col­lec­tive Order, will now reach a cross­roads in their dynam­ic dance of Thought and Space.

The last time Uranus and Plu­to squared one anoth­er was 1932 to 1934. Remark­ably, Uranus was in Aries then too, while Plu­to was in the oppo­site sign to now, in Can­cer. That was indeed a time of great chal­lenge and change, but it was a wan­ing square of Uranus/Pluto. A wan­ing square is a time for “decon­struc­tion”; it is a time for a cri­sis of con­scious­ness that expos­es the ideas that must be chal­lenged, test­ed and tran­scend­ed so that bet­ter spaces for spir­i­tu­al growth may develop.

This time we are expe­ri­enc­ing a wax­ing square, so this is a cri­sis of for­ma­tion, a time to make a choice about what to be cen­tered upon, a time to estab­lish deep­er, truer foun­da­tions… it is a time for action. This turn­ing point will build upon the themes that were released at the con­junc­tion (dur­ing the Six­ties), but those themes (and counter-themes) have now reached a crit­i­cal mass. What is put before us, or bet­ter, what we have put before our­selves is a cross­roads which demands that we choose one path or anoth­er. We should look upon it as an oppor­tu­ni­ty for build­ing a New World more than the decon­struc­tion of an Old World.

To under­stand the nature of the chal­lenge and choice we must look to the mes­sage bear­ers of this turn­ing, to jux­ta­pose Uranus in Aries with Plu­to in Capri­corn. By exam­in­ing each plan­et’s func­tion as focused through the sign they are in will guide us to the deep­er mean­ing of this moment.

The Two Themes:  Uranus in Aries & Plu­to in Capricorn

Uranus in Aries

Uranus is squar­ing Plu­to from the sign of Aries, so we must under­stand what the mes­sage of Uranus in Aries means. The gen­er­al theme for Uranus in Aries is that this is a time for the resur­gence of Indi­vid­u­al­ism, Ide­al­ism and Inven­tions. Uranus here acts a cat­a­lyst for cre­ativ­i­ty in the sci­ences, arts and social orga­ni­za­tions. Tru­ly it is a time that we expe­ri­ence the re-emer­gence of new forms of true Lead­er­ship as this time calls out for trail-blaz­ers in all walks of life.

Though the past can­not be a per­fect pre­dic­tor of the future, it still can pro­vide some out­line as to the effects of this expe­ri­ence. The last two times for Uranus in Aries were 1843–1851 and 1927–1935. In the 1840’s the US was trans­formed as indi­vid­u­als and fam­i­lies joined togeth­er in a great pil­grim­age across the coun­try to the Cal­i­for­nia and Ore­gon ter­ri­to­ries, which was then great­ly stim­u­lat­ed by the gold rush that began in 1848. The coun­try was being bound togeth­er through the pro­lif­er­a­tion of rail­roads and the inven­tion of the tele­graph. The feel­ing of a spe­cial pur­pose seized many with the claim of a “Man­i­fest Destiny”.

In the late 1920’s into the 30’s Uranus in Aries accom­pa­nied the dev­as­ta­tion wrought by the Great Depres­sion; Uranus helped to bring to a soci­ety and a cul­ture (that need­ed it) a whole range of inven­tive spirit­ed­ness, which led to rev­o­lu­tions in tech­nolo­gies, indus­try and in social orga­ni­za­tions and gov­ern­ment. Again, bold lead­er­ship was need­ed and rose to meet the challenge.

For us now, we can and should hope that as Uranus moves through Aries from 2010–19 that we too will wit­ness the present pauci­ty of lead­er­ship giv­ing way to true lead­ers who inspire us as our cri­sis unfolds. Cer­tain­ly we have already seen numer­ous exam­ples of new forms of leading/organizing emerg­ing in this time. The dra­mat­ic evi­dence of the inter­sec­tion of new forms of con­nect­ing and the desire for greater indi­vid­ual free­doms have been made man­i­fest around the world, from across the Mid­dle East, through Europe (includ­ing Rus­sia now), and on to Amer­i­ca with the Tea Par­ty on one side and Occu­py Wall Street on the oth­er, and fur­ther on across to the rum­blings now com­ing out of China…all across the globe there is a quick­en­ing of the Spirit…and much of that we should know is because Uranus is again in Aries…But of course, there is some­thing more, much more at work on us and in our world at this time.

Plu­to in Capricorn

Plu­to is form­ing its square with Uranus from the sign of Capri­corn, and so just as with Uranus, we must seek to under­stand the expe­ri­ence of what Plu­to in Capri­corn brings. Plu­to rules the Will, the pow­er to shape and re-shape spaces, it rules the pow­er of con­trol; it brings this influ­ence to bear in Capri­corn by either serv­ing to main­tain or trans­form the hier­ar­chi­cal worlds of cul­ture, soci­ety and institutions.

It would seem by look­ing at the his­tor­i­cal record that when­ev­er Plu­to moves through Capri­corn there is a pro­found trans­for­ma­tion, a death and a rebirth, of the cul­tur­al, eco­nom­ic and polit­i­cal order.

When Plu­to moves through Capri­corn, which is about every 247 years or so, the insti­tu­tions and hier­ar­chies of a his­tor­i­cal peri­od have reached a turn­ing point where their space and exer­cise of pow­er has start­ed to fall apart, pri­mar­i­ly because new spaces and new pow­ers are emerg­ing. Often this end of an era and the birth of a new, this shift of spir­it, forces the old order, in the attempt to pre­serve that sys­tem, to go to ever greater extremes in the exer­cise of its power…but inevitably the emer­gence of these new forms of orga­ni­za­tion and pow­er bring about its trans­for­ma­tion or demise.

We can obtain some idea of the his­tor­i­cal pow­er of this pas­sage by look­ing back at the two most recent times Plu­to was in Capri­corn, 1515–1532 and 1762–1778. In the ear­ly 1500’s the Euro­pean world was in the throes of one of its most his­toric changes in over 1,000 years, the one church, the Catholic Church, which had been weak­ened by scan­dal inter­nal­ly as much as it was chal­lenged by the new­ly avail­able print­ed bible exter­nal­ly, was bro­ken apart by the Ref­or­ma­tion. The attempt by the Catholic King­doms to main­tain their pow­er led to dev­as­tat­ing wars between them and those who broke away to form Protes­tant realms. The old order, with its feu­dal sys­tem based on land­ed pow­er and the one Catholic Church was giv­ing way to the rise of absolute mon­archs accom­pa­nied by a new eco­nom­ic order empow­er­ing a grow­ing mer­can­tile class.

In the 1700’s colo­nial enter­pris­es of Eng­land in Amer­i­ca, the grow­ing imbal­ances between gov­erned and gov­er­nor were becom­ing increas­ing­ly unten­able. New forms of free asso­ci­a­tions were spread­ing in the New World, seed­ed by new ideas about the nature of Pow­er (Will) and Space (New Lands) as well as a new, more dynam­ic eco­nom­ic way of life. The old order attempt­ed to rein­force its con­trol over the colonies which led to protests, which led to fur­ther repres­sion, and even greater protests until a clash between Monar­chy and indi­vid­u­als in free asso­ci­a­tions led to the estab­lish­ment of a tru­ly new form of gov­ern­ment that became the mod­el for our cul­tur­al, eco­nom­ic and polit­i­cal world… and that mod­el, that arrange­ment of Pow­er and Space is what is now com­ing to its end…

Three years ago, in 2008, Plu­to began its next jour­ney through Capri­corn and it will remain there now till 2024. And just as in the 1500’s and in the 1700’s a world will pass away and a new one will be born…And even more now, as Uranus and Plu­to line up in a series of squares between 2012 and 2015, this decon­struc­tion of an old order and the emer­gence of a new will most cer­tain­ly become very, very real.

The winds of change are blowing…and we must choose our path…

Remem­ber­ing that beat­en paths are for beat­en people…

This is our time…

And it is time for bright stars and trail blaz­ers again!

Uranus/Pluto Square 2012–2015

So we find our­selves at the inter­sec­tion of sev­er­al sig­nif­i­cant streams of Spir­i­tu­al forces, influ­ences that will pro­vide the inspi­ra­tion and artic­u­late the chal­lenges we now encounter. (Though, of course, the form and con­tent of what we now expe­ri­ence which is seem­ing­ly “pre­sent­ed” to us, the “facts” of our sit­u­a­tion, is the man­i­fest­ed con­se­quence of the choic­es we made before, of what we have done and so made by our pre­vi­ous steps in this jour­ney in Life-Con­scious­ness-Spir­it). What we have are 3 major influ­ences that are com­bined and cat­alyzed togeth­er by the sec­ond of the three: 1) Uranus in Aries which we have not expe­ri­enced for 75 years, 2) The Uranus/Pluto wax­ing square which we have not expe­ri­enced for 135 years and 3) (the “big one”) Plu­to in Capri­corn which we have not expe­ri­enced for 247 years.

As before the avatars of Mind (Uranus) and Will (Plu­to), the car­ri­ers of Seed Ideas and Sacred Space have come to a turn­ing point. As in those pre­vi­ous eras with Plu­to in Capri­corn, we find with­in our­selves and in all sec­tors of our cul­ture and soci­ety, that there exists an over­whelm­ing sense that the world is not “right”. In realms both Tem­po­ral and Sec­u­lar, the dis­con­nec­tion between elites and the gen­er­al pop­u­lace has widened, and that the yawn­ing gulf between lead­ers and led is grow­ing ever greater. In fact the feel­ing amongst many is that lead­er­ship, true lead­er­ship has some­how “left the planet”.

Whether with­in any one coun­try or around the world, the inces­sant, increas­ing expe­ri­ence of dis­ap­point­ment is felt by almost all…that every struc­ture, insti­tu­tion, stan­dard or val­ue has become com­pro­mised; whether that loss of cred­i­bil­i­ty or virtue is encoun­tered in Reli­gion, or Edu­ca­tion, or Gov­ern­ment, or in the sim­ple promise of a bet­ter world for one’s chil­dren and their children…all of it seems with­out hope…and there is a great longing…

And so it is pre­cise­ly in times such as this, when a great empti­ness and loss of hope begins to take hold in the world…it is pre­cise­ly at such a time that Spir­it answers…It moves into our emp­ty spaces and trou­bled minds…It lifts up our hearts and awak­ens the spir­it with­in and reminds us all that we can change…and then, as if by “mag­ic”, we do change and renew our world. Spir­it does this pre­cise­ly as we move into and through the cri­sis because it is that very cri­sis which cat­alyzes each and every indi­vid­ual to turn around, to turn and to make the nec­es­sary sac­ri­fices which must be made to bring about a New World again.

The signs of the unrav­el­ing of the old are more than self-evident…but so too are the signs and por­tents of the emerg­ing ways that are lead­ing to the New World. As indi­vid­u­als and groups of indi­vid­u­als seek to real­ize their dreams with new inten­tions and means, and seek equal­ly to cope with the fail­ures of the sys­tems they are cur­rent­ly cir­cum­scribed by, we can dis­cern the out­lines of new Ways of Think­ing and new Spaces of Being.

And so we must each ask our­selves, what can I do?

First, in order to be guid­ed by the high­est influ­ences, in order to fol­low Spir­it and your heart, do not be deceived or con­fused by the myr­i­ad ways that the old order dis­tracts and divides. Remem­ber always that the one true source of pow­er in this Uni­verse is with­in you…and you, and you. It is not “out there”, it is “in here” and also with­in any­one beside you.

But that is also and always where the real strug­gle is met. It is not the fault or fail­ing of a kind of gov­ern­ment or pol­i­tics, it is not the fault of the church or a faith…Do not let fetishism or the pro­jec­tion upon some­thing or some­one else con­fuse you as to where “the prob­lem” is…For every­thing in this world that seems to be fail­ing, every insti­tu­tion, every struc­ture and way of life…everything is what it is because it is giv­en life by each and every one of us…

We must change and we shall change…and so will our world.

Time for Action:

We are at a turn­ing. Some have called it “The Fourth Turn­ing”. Some have called it the “End of Times”…but we are at our moment of oppor­tu­ni­ty to build a New World and offer to those that fol­low us a bet­ter world than we could have imagined.

This is our time to choose, to ask of our self, “What is the greater good for all?”…

And then to sim­ply do that!

This is the time for Heroes and Heal­ers, Doers and Leaders.

This is Our Time to Become the Becoming…

And, it is your time to shine!

 

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…

 

Post from May 20, 2013:

Uranus Square Plu­to (May 20, 2013)

This is the defin­ing aspect for our time, cer­tain­ly for this decade from rough­ly 2008 until 2015 or so, with ref­er­ences back to the 1960’s when Uranus and Plu­to began their lat­est New Cycle with one anoth­er, and point­ing onwards to when they reach their next cli­max in oppo­si­tion to one anoth­er from 2046–48. I date this present align­ment from 2008, for that is when Plu­to began to move through the Sign of Capri­corn, which his­tor­i­cal­ly has led to Insti­tu­tion­al Crises, sig­nal­ing the end of a Spir­i­tu­al-Cul­tur­al-Eco­nom­ic-Polit­i­cal Order and the rise of a new one (which is occur­ring all around us now as if you did not notice, for the Birth of a New Order always takes place as the Old Order is falling down)…

I wrote an exten­sive arti­cle about this Uranus/Pluto aspect in my Gen­er­al Fore­cast for 2012 and you can read that here.

I also wrote about how it is man­i­fest­ing this year in my Gen­er­al Fore­cast for 2013 and here is that update:

 Uranus and Plu­to Square, May 20 and Novem­ber 1

The fun­da­men­tal trans­for­ma­tion­al influ­ence of this decade con­tin­ues to weave its way into your life as Uranus in Aries con­tin­ues to form a wax­ing square to Plu­to in Capri­corn in 2013 (and on into 2014 and 2015). The dates above are mere­ly when the aspect is exact, but the influ­ence that it bears con­tin­ues through­out all the year. Hav­ing already laid out the influ­ence this aspect has brought into focus in the overview for 2012, I thought it would be best to describe the mod­u­la­tion of this aspect by a third plan­et this sum­mer and in the first part of 2014.

Uranus is in the first Car­di­nal Sign of Aries while Plu­to is in the last Car­di­nal Sign of Capri­corn. Now the biggest plan­et in the Solar Sys­tem, Jupiter, slips into the sec­ond Car­di­nal Sign of Can­cer in late June 2013. Dur­ing the month of July, Jupiter will form up with Uranus and Plu­to cre­at­ing an aspect in August known as a T‑Square, where­in three plan­ets form up into one oppo­si­tion brack­et­ed by two squares, one on either side of the oppo­si­tion. In this align­ment, there will be Uranus square Plu­to, while Jupiter moves in to square Uranus and at the same time oppose Plu­to. This is a most pow­er­ful, com­pelling and trans­for­ma­tion­al aspect indeed!

The prin­ci­ple artic­u­lat­ed by Uranus and Plu­to con­cerns your con­stant­ly self-unfold­ing, self-real­iz­ing efforts to achieve a bal­ance between Free­dom and Sacred Bound­aries. Uranus declaims the urgent need to lib­er­ate the spir­it into ever-widen­ing reach­es of self-deter­mi­na­tion, chal­leng­ing the sta­tus quo and sta­t­ic struc­tures that for­mer­ly ful­filled but now deny indi­vid­u­al­i­ty. Plu­to holds the posi­tion of equal neces­si­ty to use the Will to define and pro­tect the sacred space you reside with­in, and hope­ful­ly to hon­or those around you too, to pre­serve the Sacred Spaces of spir­it with­in which all reside, and from and through which Spir­it seeks the ever-unfold­ing, self-real­iza­tion (free­dom) of each individuality.

But if pushed too far, if Uranus gains too much for itself then there is the dan­ger of unbri­dled free­dom tip­ping into anar­chy where all struc­tures are over­thrown but may leave no clear path toward true self-restraint, tol­er­ance and love of one anoth­er. If Plu­to over­whelms, then all will be bound to the great­est Will, and there will be no space for Free­dom or Sacred­ness what­so­ev­er. So these two Lords must be bound and bal­anced by one anoth­er, each find­ing their true melody in har­mo­ny with one another…and per­haps, just per­haps, here is where the great Lord Jupiter may lend a hand…or could tip the bal­ance the oth­er way, it real­ly is a choice for each and every soul to make.

Dur­ing the month of August, stand­ing betwixt the two great pass­es of Uranus and Plu­to with one anoth­er, Jupiter will throw his weight into the great deci­sions that face one and all, and you will see how the world and you will choose to turn towards greater inte­gra­tion or not.

Today I would like to speak to the more per­son­al side of how this Grand Align­ment may be play­ing out our lives…

For each of us has a part to play in this great dra­ma unfold­ing with­in and around us…and as I men­tioned above, the mes­sage and mod­u­la­tion of Jupiter this year can help you find your way.

For as you strug­gle with­in your own world to bal­ance Uranus and Plu­to, to weave togeth­er your Aspi­ra­tions for Greater Self-Real­iza­tion and Free­dom (Uranus) while also Cre­at­ing, Pre­serv­ing and Hon­or­ing your own and every­one else’s Sacred Space (Plu­to) too, it is per­haps from Jupiter in Can­cer that you can draw upon and find com­fort in the Age­less Wis­dom to help guide you in your Under­stand­ing and Actions…

For it is through Jupiter, The Lord of Truth and Wis­dom, who can show you the way to the Source of the Prin­ci­ples and Teach­ings which have always and will for­ev­er Inspire, Guide and Keep you upon the Noble Mid­dle Path. This Wis­dom Teach­ing has been passed down in many forms through the ages, and it will be ever obtained by those who tru­ly seek to serve, and as it is found­ed by and upon the Peren­ni­al Foun­da­tions formed from the very Ener­gies and Forms of Cre­ation itself, this Rock of Ages will always be there to guide you tru­ly in these days when an Age will End and a New World Rise.

Jupiter is in Can­cer and form­ing an align­ment to both Uranus and Plu­to, and this Gift of the Spir­it can inform and guide you as to how to inte­grate these pow­er­ful ener­gies trans­form­ing you and your world at this time.

To Uranus, who blazes with the Fires of Aries Ide­al­ism, where Impa­tient Indi­vid­u­al­i­ty and Unbri­dled Enthu­si­asms can often betray the inten­tion to do “what is right”, Jupiter offers the Waters of Can­cer which remind you that your Indi­vid­u­al­i­ty is born through and aris­es from the Foun­da­tions and Roots of your jour­ney which ulti­mate­ly con­nects you to all of your fel­low humans, and ulti­mate­ly to all forms of Life, and your need to be True to One­self must nev­er result in the Harm to another…

For “we are all relat­ed”, we are all ones of the One, and each Indi­vid­u­al’s Unique con­tri­bu­tion to the Song of Life must be Hon­ored and Free to Be…yet Each must also respect, sup­port and so join in pay­ing Homage and Fideli­ty to one and all…For as you must to thine own self be True, you must equal­ly be True to all your Broth­ers and Sis­ters too.

To Plu­to, who brings and bears the Will that Forms, Pre­serves and Trans­forms the Sacred Spaces of Spir­it, Plu­to can, when Unbound­ed in Capri­corn, wield this Pow­er in such a man­ner that what one intend­ed to Pre­serve is in fact Lost, what was Trans­formed is actu­al­ly Destroyed, because your Sacred Spaces become bro­ken by the Will that stands for Absolute Pow­er alone, where there is either Dom­i­na­tion or Sub­mis­sion and no Free­dom or Sacred Space remains.

To this Jupiter offers the Heal­ing Grace from Can­cer, that Plu­to’s Pow­er with­out Bounds, which was formed from and fueled by Fear, may be washed away by those Lov­ing, Car­ing and Nur­tur­ing Waters of Jupiter in Can­cer where­in is found the Root of your Being. It is found­ed for­ev­er, with­in the heart of each spark of the Divine, in the Love of the One for all of the ones of the One, and it is in fact this All-Embrac­ing Love which forms the Divine Sacred Space whose cen­ter is every­where, and whose cir­cum­fer­ence is nowhere.

For each Space is Sacred, and to harm anoth­er is to Harm Oneself…For you abide with­in the Greater Space of the One, and what you do the least of these, you do also to the One, to all oth­ers and so to your own self too.

Yes, Kar­ma is per­fect, what­ev­er you wish to cre­ate you must also Be and you will Become. Help one anoth­er to Grow the Sacred Spaces for each and every, for their Integri­ty is your own too. As always, keep your­self aligned to the Greater…Let Thy Will be Done.

As to all things, all chal­lenges and hopes, the answer lies with­in you…it is in your Mind that is Free from Fear, your Heart that is Uncon­di­tion­al in Love and your Will that is Cen­tered and Bound­ed with­in the Sacred­ness of Space.

It is from these, The Ancient Teach­ings, that your Hope and Path will be ever found and secured. When­ev­er you are in doubt or trou­bled by fear, remem­ber the Great Invo­ca­tion and repeat:

THE GREAT INVOCATION

From the point of light with­in the Mind of God

Let Light stream forth into our minds

Let LIGHT descend on Earth.

From the point of love with­in the Heart of God

Let Love stream forth into our hearts

May LOVE increase on Earth.

From the cen­ter where the Will of God is known

Let pur­pose guide our wills

The PURPOSE which the mas­ters know and serve.

From the cen­ter which we call Humanity

Let the Plan of Love and Light work out

And may it seal the door

where evil dwells.

Let Light and Love and Pow­er restore the Plan on Earth.

 

Post from Novem­ber 1, 2013:

Uranus Square Plu­to (Novem­ber 1, 2013)

For today, I wish to add this message:

And so, at this the Fourth exact Uranus/Pluto align­ment out of Sev­en, when you find your­self at this the Mas­ter Piv­ot, this Inflec­tion Point of Spir­it, (and tru­ly it is, for by Helio­cen­tric reck­on­ing Uranus and Plu­to form their one and only true Square this month), you need to res­olute­ly address and answer the ques­tion that frames your time now, and will always be one of the Great Ques­tions of Life and Spir­it that you are here to master:

Will you strive to more con­scious­ly Live in the Light, by harken­ing now to your own Intu­itive High­er Self, whose Gen­tle and Lov­ing Guid­ance will always be Mir­rored out­ward­ly for you by those most pre­cious­ly pre­served and pro­tect­ed Ancient Teach­ings that have been passed down through the Ages, will you do this and there­by align your Pur­pose and Con­duct so as to abide and remain upon the Noble Path of Spir­i­tu­al Truth in Action?

Will you choose now to turn and pledge to uphold in your own per­son­al life a rev­er­ence for and ded­i­ca­tion to the Ever­last­ing Unfold­ment of Con­scious­ness, by pro­mot­ing and pro­tect­ing Free Think­ing (Uranus), while equal­ly Align­ing your Will, a Will that is cir­cum­scribed and so focused by your High­er Self (so that “Thy Will be Done”), so that you will pro­tect and pre­serve the Sacred Spaces (Plu­to) of each and every Par­ti­cle of Creation?

For know this: All of this Cre­ation is Sacred, from the Infin­i­tes­i­mal to the Infi­nite, all of Life-Con­scious­ness-Spir­it abides in this Great Com­mu­ni­ty of beings which is formed by all of the ones of the ONE…You and they trav­el togeth­er in a Great Riv­er of Light, spi­ral­ing, unfold­ing and becoming…All of these Points of Light are the Self-becom­ing Cre­ators who are grow­ing in and through their Jour­ney Togeth­er through Space, and are actu­al­ly the very Body and Mind, the Ener­gy-Mat­ter of the One.

You will remem­ber when you lis­ten to your Heart, and as held in Trust by the Elders and Teach­ers who are the Keep­ers of the Ancient Wis­dom, that at the cen­ter of every speck and par­ti­cle of Cre­ation, from the “lowli­est” Life-Atom, to the Gods, Plan­ets and Stars, for the Divini­ties who pre­side over each Galaxy, at the core of each of these resides what is with­in you, an ensoul­ing pres­ence of Con­scious­ness, a Spir­i­tu­al Mon­ad, the Spark of the Divine.

You shall know that Each and Every part of your world, all of Spir­it and Mat­ter is endowed with some degree of Aware­ness, and that all are mov­ing for­ward, climb­ing ever high­er, along this great Hier­ar­chi­cal Rib­bon of Life-Con­scious­ness-Spir­it. That you all are here togeth­er, all of one Fam­i­ly, and are the co-cre­ators of this won­der that you have made. For in Truth this Uni­verse is yours, this Cre­ation is the Mind and Body of the One.

And you will know that between your own Sacred Space and that of any oth­er Soul before you, that there exist innu­mer­able Sacred Spaces between you and they. For Space is not emp­ty but is tru­ly a Plero­ma, filled with Ener­gy-Mat­ter, filled with Mind and Spir­it, and all of this is the Sacred Space of the One. So you must treat all of Cre­ation as Sacred. You must ask per­mis­sion to enter anoth­er’s space, you must keep your own space sacred and invi­o­late too…and as you grow you will learn to be a Self-Aware Con­scious Co-Cre­ator, and you will join with your Com­pan­ions and help to build your Ves­sels of Light, those shin­ing Shared Sacred Spaces too. 

The ques­tion is, Will you Stand for Free­dom, Will you Pro­tect and Hon­or one Anoth­er? Will you lis­ten to the Voice of the Silence that reminds you of your essen­tial one­ness with one anoth­er? Will you live as you are made to be, that you are of and for one anoth­er, abid­ing in the Sacred Space of the One Spirit…Will you Live in your truth which is To Love One Another?

May it be so…

So be it.

 

Post from Novem­ber 23, 2013:

Uranus Square Plu­to — Helio­cen­tric (Novem­ber 23, 2013) 

Your world changed.

Fifty years ago,

Things would nev­er be the same…

And you real­ized, you sensed that,

There’s some­thing hap­pen­ing here.

So,

All you Sleep­ing Souls,

Wake Up!

This is the day that Uranus and Plu­to make their one “true” align­ment of a wax­ing square, when per­ceived by Sun-Cen­tered or Helio­cen­tric Reck­on­ing. The wax­ing square marks the moment in any cycle when one is faced with a choice, and there is joy­ful oppor­tu­ni­ty and sor­row­ful dan­ger at each cor­ner you turn…The square is expe­ri­enced by most as a Cri­sis, encom­pass­ing Dan­ger and Oppor­tu­ni­ty, and what is to be faced is your chal­lenge to face down your Fear and abide in Faith, to know that you are Spir­it, an Immor­tal and Self-Lumi­nous, to answer Hate by Love, to rise and abide in a High­er Form of Being…or, to fail and fall again, to sur­ren­der to fear and fall back…and have to wait for your next oppor­tu­ni­ty to let go of Fear, and grow…

It is a choice, the most impor­tant deci­sion you will make in every sin­gle step you take, for in every moment, as you turn all those cor­ners of your life, the ques­tion is will you be Awake, will you be Present, how will you choose to live NOW…For in every day you face such moments, to choose to care or stay removed and apart, to help one anoth­er or not, each such chal­lenge and oppor­tu­ni­ty that comes to you in all these turn­ings in your life can be the next step in your becom­ing part of the solution…but this turn­ing, this time right now, this one mat­ters more than any you have faced so far…

For this is about your Spir­i­tu­al Truth, of how you rec­on­cile Free­dom and Order, and you need to find the way of Truth, to hold to the Way of Love to heal your­self and your world too…

Rough­ly Fifty years ago, Uranus and Plu­to renewed their cycle of this ever-unfold­ing offer­ing for you, so that you might again expe­ri­ence a renew­al of Self-Quick­en­ing, to rise above your per­son­al desires and fears and turn towards the Light and Love with­in you, to live as you are des­tined to be…And by so doing to also help your brave and lov­ing com­pan­ions to lift this world of shad­ows into a greater Light and Love too…

Yes, Fifty years ago your world changed, and you are now at the next Turn­ing in your life…and now you must choose…Listen to the poets of “Pub­lic Ene­my” as they sing to you of your choice. Here are the final lines in their song “He Got Game”, which many will rec­og­nize as a restate­ment, as a truth­ful tes­ta­ment held in the song from when Uranus and Plu­to last called for you to “wake up” in the 1960’s, the Anthem of Aware­ness by Buf­fa­lo Spring­field, “For What It’s Worth”:

HE GOT GAME

There’s some­thing hap­pen­ing here (Yeah yeah)

What it is ain’t exact­ly clear

There’s a man, with a gun over there (Yeah that’s right hah haha)

tellin me, I got to beware

It’s time we stop, chil­dren what’s that sound?

Every­body look what’s goin, down

(Aiyo, I don’t think they heard you Stevie

Kick it to em again one more time)

It’s time we stop, chil­dren what’s that sound?

Every­body look what’s goin, down

Haha, that’s right boy, PE in full effect boy to the year 2000 yo

Stop, look, what’s that sound

Every­body knows what’s goin down

Come on sing it

Sing it again y’all come on

Hey!

He-hey!!!

Aiyo, these are some seri­ous times that we’re livin in G

And a new world order is about to begin, y’know what I’m sayin?

Now the ques­tion is — are you ready, for the real revolution

which is the evo­lu­tion of the mind?

If you seek then you shall find that we all come from the divine

You dig what I’m sayin?

Now if you take heed to the words of wisdom

that are writ­ten on the walls of life

then uni­ver­sal­ly, we will stand and divid­ed we will fall

because love con­quers all, you under­stand what I’m sayin?

This is a call to all you sleepin souls

Wake up and take con­trol of your own cipher

And be on the look­out for the spir­it snipers

tryin to steal your light, y’know what I’m sayin?

Look with­in-side your­self, for peace

Give thanks, live life and release

You dig me? You got me?

He Got Game

Mars Opposite Uranus (December 25, 2013)

Uranus-Pluto-Mars

There’s some­thing hap­pen­ing here. What it is ain’t exact­ly clear…

Between and behind all the noise and dis­trac­tions of the every­day prob­lems in the world, there remains “the work” that will ever be your true task, with much larg­er forces, con­flicts and oppor­tu­ni­ties that will and must con­tin­ue to demand your Atten­tive Awareness…for you are here now, and you are here for a reason…

Between now and the end of the year, Mars is sweep­ing into align­ment with Uranus and then with Plu­to, and in so doing he will elic­it the Uranus/Pluto Square that is the over-arch­ing plan­e­tary theme now, for these two are the bearers/revealers of the pro­found mean­ing behind the world changes you must see all around you now.

For an age is end­ing, and a new one will rise…and while you find your­self in this present time and space, when many things will come undone, when you face seem­ing­ly sense­less strife and storms at every turn, you will look for answers, for some com­fort and reas­sur­ance that a bet­ter world still lies ahead. You will wait upon a brighter day, as you turn your gaze long­ing­ly East­ward, hop­ing to catch a glimpse of your New World dawn­ing through those beam­ing rays of your Ris­ing Sun.

And as always, through­out all Time and Space, you like your ances­tors before you will look up to these Sacred Spaces above, to seek and to find some mea­sure of order and mean­ing, some form of Con­stan­cy in those Stars that whirl above. And when you do take this time, you will begin to dis­cern the pat­terns that are there, you will hear­ken to your Mag­is­te­r­i­al Com­pan­ions who watch over you, and who will ever sing their Songs of Spir­it which are yours too. They will remind you of why you came here, of what this jour­ney is for. They will help you now to find your way back to your Truth, of how to a make a world that is filled with Laugh­ter, Light and Love.

For it is most true that the New World will not come to you, it will come because and from and through you…and so you must do the work, you must become this change you wish for, you must do it for this world that you love.

The first of these two elic­i­ta­tions, of Mars to Uranus, speaks to your ever present, yet now more strong­ly posit­ed, need to rec­on­cile your Desire for Social Togeth­er­ness with your Insis­tent Call­ing to extend your Inde­pen­dent Indi­vid­u­al­i­ty too. For it will seem at first that these can­not be rec­on­ciled, that these two will be found upon either side of you, each pulling and push­ing upon the oth­er, and that one part of you must give way or be sac­ri­ficed so that the oth­er may have its way.

But of course, if you lis­ten to your heart, if you fol­low the Intu­itive prompt­ings of your Spir­it, you will know that there is only one way to be who you are. You must embrace and com­bine your diver­si­ties, com­plex­i­ties and your dichotomies too, for this is what tru­ly makes the Indi­vid­ual Spir­it that is you. And so you know in your heart, you feel in your soul that each of these ways is part of you, and each with­out the oth­er will not work, nor will you be you.

You must be true to Uranus and to Mars, to be them both in order to ful­fill the truth that is you. You will remem­ber that the Way of Spir­it is always like this, for true life, true Spir­it is Para­dox­i­cal. That you are endowed with this Gift of Unfold­ing Aware­ness, you are in fact a won­drous Sacred Space, a Vibrant Field of Myr­i­ad Ener­gies where var­i­ous Sen­si­bil­i­ties, Val­ues, Know­ings and Truths all come togeth­er in a Mag­i­cal Com­bi­na­tion of Syn­the­sis and Uncom­mon Sense. You are here and will become by being both of any num­ber of these dualities/dichotomies that form the parts of you…and you will do this by find­ing and fol­low­ing Spir­it’s one true path, by walk­ing the Inte­gral Way.

Uranus is hold­ing forth from Aries, call­ing on one and all to strive for Authen­tic­i­ty in self-deter­mi­na­tions, to extend the space of self-real­iza­tion by free­ing Minds and Spir­its, to help you become unbowed and unbound by lim­its, fears and doubts. But if you too much force this Indi­vid­u­al­iz­ing Ener­gy, if you for­get your “oth­er half”, if by this you cause harm to any oth­er, then your “Free­dom” will turn to ash.

Mars is Singing the song of Libra now, where he strives for Jus­tice, Equal­i­ty and Fair­ness for one and for all. But if you too much force this Har­mo­niz­ing Ener­gy, if you for­get or dis­miss the spe­cial­ness that is you, if you defer your­self because of the oth­er and always put their ways and truths before your own, then you will not be able to con­tribute that unique essence that you are, and you will bring great harm to you and all whom count on you.

There is no oth­er way, you can­not be divid­ed from your­self. The only path you will find that will take you home is this Mid­dle Road of Truth. The Way of Wis­dom, the Way of the Lone­ly Ones is to embrace the glo­ri­ous­ly com­plex and yes often­times con­fus­ing and hum­bling path of being one who under­stands that you are meant to hold it all togeth­er, and refuse the “easy” path to deny or divide.

You must become a Wis­dom Walker…

One who choos­es to accept, embrace and celebrate,

And know that your dif­fer­ences and com­plex­i­ties are your strength…

They are what makes you, you.

And that you will find the way,

The Lone­ly Ones Way of Wisdom,

By choos­ing to hold it all togeth­er by your Love.

Mercury Enters Capricorn (December 24, 2013)

Mercury-in-Capricorn

In this Cos­mos you call Cre­ation, which is full of and formed by a Host of Beings endowed with vary­ing degrees of Con­scious­ness, there exists an Order­ing that forms a Hier­ar­chy of Man­i­fes­ta­tion for all of these Spir­i­tu­al Enti­ties. Each Mon­ad “Descends” from the realm Divine to realms Spir­i­tu­al, from Men­tal Planes to Worlds of Feel­ing, and that pro­gres­sion con­tin­ues “down” into ever more mate­ri­al­ized forms of Ener­gy-Mat­ter, which in your present-day Human expe­ri­ence results in the Skin-Walk­er form you require here on Earth. In all these realms you exist and have an Ener­gy-Form that is required and present on that plane, but you also exist in and upon all these planes at the same time too.

You do not “leave” the realm of Spir­it to “descend” and so “arrive” in your fleshy form here on Earth. It is more that a part of you is extend­ed into each suc­ceed­ing form so that you can exist in that realm, and then the next form is extend­ed from that one, so by this series of “self-pro­jec­tions” and “self-embod­i­ments” you can be active and par­tic­i­pate in each and every realm. But for­ev­er and always the high­est part of you will remain in the Super­nal Realms of Light, for the core of you will ever abide in “Heav­en” as a spark of the Divine, for this is who you are, a unique instance of the One True Spirit.

And so it is with Mind as well, as part of you and a great part of this Cre­ation is of “The Mind” and will always remain in this form. There are vary­ing degrees with­in each realm, and this is also true for the realms of Thought, rang­ing from the sim­plest and low­est of Thought-Forms to those which pro­vide the very bridge between and to the next realm of the Intuitive/Spiritual part of the Cos­mos. There are no “harsh” bound­aries between realms, as ener­gies move through and between all of these realms, bind­ing one and all togeth­er in the One Life of Spirit.

In each earth­ly life, you have been endowed with a cer­tain type of Men­tal­i­ty, a unique blend of Thought­ful Sen­si­bil­i­ties as indi­cat­ed by a num­ber of fac­tors in your Astro­log­i­cal Birth Chart, not the least of which is your Zodi­a­cal posi­tion of Mer­cury. From these var­i­ous indi­ca­tions you will form a par­tic­u­lar indi­vid­u­at­ed man­ner in which to per­ceive, rea­son and com­mu­ni­cate in this life.

Yet you like every­thing else also abide in what I like to call the “Liv­ing Chart of the Present”, the dynam­ic unfold­ing inter­play of posi­tions and cycles that all the plan­ets form with one anoth­er in each and every moment, and this cre­ates the Liv­ing Song of Spir­it in the Realms of Above. You and your com­pan­ions in your expe­ri­ences with one anoth­er con­tribute your own unique melody to this Super­nal Cho­rus, as you sing your own sweet Liv­ing Songs of Spir­it on Earth below. 

In this Hier­ar­chi­cal for­ma­tion of Ener­gy-Mat­ter, you are influ­enced by and need to under­stand the guid­ance that is lov­ing­ly illus­trat­ed and offered by your Plan­e­tary Com­pan­ions sweep­ing through the heav­ens above. When there is a change in their song, you need to take note, lis­ten and learn to mod­u­late your own song too.

Today Mer­cury, the Avatar of your Mind, has shift­ed and the Sen­si­bil­i­ties of your Know­ing will respond now to a dif­fer­ent melody in the Song of Spirit…and so you too should adjust, in your own spe­cial way, and try to mod­u­late your thoughts and com­mu­ni­ca­tions like­wise. No mat­ter what your own pre­dis­po­si­tion might be, you would do well to bring into your obser­va­tions and con­sid­er­a­tions a greater degree of that strong Capri­corn gift of Prac­ti­cal Sense and Responsibility.

It is time to emu­late a qual­i­ty of Mind that is focused through the Lens of Tra­di­tion, to con­sid­er that which has been proven to be true through rig­or­ous and time-test­ed use, and to know that this is worth­while and should be pre­served, hon­ored and passed on to future gen­er­a­tions. Yes, do not for­get the Expan­sive Ideals and Visions stirred by your recent sojourn in Sagit­tar­ius, but to take those now and under­stand that a Great Idea must also be prac­ti­cal, use­ful and sound.

From now until Jan­u­ary 11, you will be wise to fol­low in the foot­steps of fleet-foot­ed Mer­cury, who is Her­mes your Mes­sen­ger of the Gods, and ful­fill your own Pur­pose by endeav­or­ing to main­tain what is Good and True in Thought as has been proven over time, which will then guide you into the prop­er approach, con­duct and con­se­quence for your life. For as it has been said, the key to life is: Right Think­ing which forms Right Action which leads to Right Results…and you will accom­plish this now when you per­ceive crit­i­cal­ly, think prac­ti­cal­ly and offer your con­tri­bu­tion humbly.

Mer­cury in Capri­corn calls for you to take care…

For as you Think so shall your Life become.

You have made your present life today…

By the char­ac­ter of your thought long, long ago.

A bet­ter Future will be your prize…

By Thought­ful Mind­ful­ness in the Now.

Be a Dream-Mak­er, a Wisdom-Walker…

Think Respon­si­bly, Respect­ful­ly and Humbly…

Think as a Capri­corn now.
