Last July 9, 2011, Uranus turned retrograde within a degree and a half of Pluto. These two distant and slow moving planets stayed within 2 degrees of a square through mid-September, 2011. On June 24 the first exact square between the two takes place, forming the first of seven squares between now and March 17, 2015. The effects of these stressful points has and will continue to have an effect on some area of your chart over this period of time.
The archetype of Uranus is all about shattering outworn patterns and forms of life, making way for new ways of living. Pluto, the Great Transformer, represents the death and rebirth cycles, regeneration, and awakening. The deep shifts are just beginning to break through from the subconscious and shadow parts of our personalities and lives, calling attention in very surprising, shocking, and mysterious ways, to those areas of our lives inevitably changing. The transformative journey is beginning to manifest breaking the surface issues and behaviors open to innovative, revelatory ways. This is a long-lasting transit, that will continue the transformative journey that we are just beginning to become more aware of.
What will happen more and more is that you will notice the intuitive knowledge, psychic sensibilities, and sensory messages are growing more intense, more immediate, and more clearly urgent. We are being given new knowledge out of which we can act using discernment as we grow in wisdom, or out of which we can react, resist, or rebel in accord to the desire to hold onto outmoded ways of behaving. Worn out patterns and habits will no longer be effective tools for dealing with our life issues, problems, and for effective decision making and problem solving. We will feel like we have been stripped of our ability to defend ourselves or hold onto relationships that have been slipping away from us for quite some time now. What we had resolved to just let be, may not be content to let matters go as such. Paying attention to what we feel we are called to do and be will depend upon our being in touch with and being honest with ourselves about what the truth of our reality is all about.
Jupiter just entered Gemini on June 11. We may have felt full of new ideas and full of hope at that time. Being in an air sign, Jupiter sparks creative and innovative thinking, and provides fertile ground for a wide array of ideas, possibilities, and opportunities. On June 24, as Jupiter (in Gemini) moves into a square with Neptune (in Pisces), our intuitive and prescient understanding and communication is greatly enriched and intensified.
On May 15, Venus turned retrograde activating energy around what we value most and what we intend to nurture in our lives. On June 27, Venus stations direct in Gemini sparking our thoughts and plans in whatever manner best enables us to find fulfillment in areas of deepest value and greatest importance to us now. What is of greatest importance now is asking ourselves honestly, what is it that we most value and love? To delude ourselves about this now is a big mistake, for what has been working beneath the surface for the past four years has been the subconscious work needed to make the major shifts that are required to meet the challenges and needs of our shifting culture. Madeline L’Engle’s book, The Swiftly Tilting Planet, set in a fantasy, science fiction book for young adults, introduced us to the necessity of seeing beyond the masks, veils, and illusions that have been used to justify and rationalize whole systems and institutions used to control and use the resources of our planet. Where we have put our priorities has determined the issues that face us now. In order to save ourselves, we must learn to use our energy and project our thoughts, ideas, plans, and intentions from a more loving, peace-filled, creative, and honest heart center, and we must acknowledge and throw ourselves into submission to Divine Love and Goodness as a guiding force in using our combined energy to help heal, bring peace, create balance, and bring forth abundance in all areas of life for all people.
The Challenge of the Uranus (sudden, swift change) in a series of stressful and action-provoking squares with Pluto (steady, deep, and transformative change) is to allow ourselves to be guided by an honest understanding of what we most love and what we most need to open our hearts to as we change the way we go about solving problems, making decisions, building new relationships, strengthening and growing in our sense of community and connection. The Divine Feminine, the Shekhinah (feminine face of God) seeks harmony and rises from the ashes of the fallen structures of our lives and society...what has not worked, will fall apart and what is needed, will arise out of the intentions, love, and beauty we create in our lives.
You may find it surprising to feel, think, sense, dream about, or discover that what you thought was built on solid ground, has fallen apart. What you trusted at one point is no longer worthy of your love, and what was once the focus of your life, has disappeared. If you have not chosen the changes that are needed in your life, the change has chosen you. As we move through greater transition, we see more clearly, where we are needed, what we are called to release, and how we are meant to move forward. Focus on the love within as that is what will manifest from you, and what you choose now, will be living with you for the foreseeable future. Examine of conscience and consciousness. Discernment of purposes, intention, and love. Facing the truth of your soul and the calling of your spirit. Listening and watching for the voice of the Creator Spirit as the call comes to honor the gifts our our Divine nature and the needs of our planet all living beings.
