To be Free…

You must care for One Another.

When you Love one another…

You will be Free.

I wrote of this aspect, which is part of the Grand Car­di­nal Square that is exact in April, in my Gen­er­al Fore­cast for 2014:

Jupiter Square Uranus (Feb­ru­ary 25–26 & April 19–20) *also August 21, 2013

This aspect is the sec­ond of three in the series and will reap­pear in its final align­ment to form the Grand Car­di­nal Cross in April. I wrote about this first in August and I will write at length about the final one in April. The mes­sage of this aspect con­cerns your need to find the inte­gral path that com­bines Jupiter and Uranus, so that each will mutu­al­ly inform one anoth­er: that Jupiter in Can­cer reminds you to hold and keep to your Truths that are found­ed upon by the deep­est roots of your life, while you equal­ly hear­ken to song of Uranus in Aries, which calls for you to break out of old and out­worn thought-forms, to free your Mind and Spir­it once more.

Here is some of what I wrote about the Jupiter/Uranus/Pluto aspect in the 2013 Gen­er­al Forecast:

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.

Here is what I wrote about the Jupiter/Pluto Square in August 2013:

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). 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 Cre­ation is, a self-unfold­ing, self-becom­ing host of Indi­vid­u­als, the many who form and are 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 and 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.
