Articles on Uranus and 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…

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.

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?

Here is the Music Video:

He Got Game

Uranus Square Plu­to (April 21, 2014) 

THE GRAND CARDINAL CROSS OF 2014

Uranus Square Plu­to (April 21 & Decem­ber 15) *also March 15, 2015

Two times in 2014 this ongo­ing Song of Spir­it will form up exact­ly, as Uranus and Plu­to con­tin­ue their Square Dance (though of course giv­en the very small amount of move­ment that they have and will make in any year, this align­ment could be said to have begun as ear­ly as when Plu­to entered Capri­corn in 2008 and will cer­tain­ly be felt for sev­er­al years beyond 2015). The April align­ment is the fifth out of sev­en such exact con­tacts, and is of the great­est sig­nif­i­cance as it forms the crit­i­cal ele­ment of the Grand Cross of April. The sec­ond square in Decem­ber will not seem as potent, but it most cer­tain­ly is.
