The Fool's Tower: Seven Cardinal Squares of Uranus and Pluto (2012-2015)
You may not remember the Cardinal Crosses of the past two
years, unless you are chronicling the cosmic energies as I am, but you can
probably recall the stress, the activation and reactions, the shifts in global
identity, and the drastic changes in our individual lives that were initiated
in 2010 and reoccurred throughout last year at different intervals. These tumultuous changes below coincide
with the cosmic dance of Uranus and Pluto above. What we went through in the past two years was only a
precursor to the energy that is shifting our consciousness now. Beginning June 23rd of this
year, Uranus and Pluto exact their first square (90 degree aspect of action or
stress) of a series of seven that we’ll experience throughout the next few years
(the next is in September of this year).
Square One- Attunement to the Visionary Archetype
6-23-2012 (Uranus Square Pluto in the 9th Degree
of Aries and Capricorn) @ 11:52pm
Uranus and Pluto are two of the three Generational Outer
Planets that allude to the collective experience of our global community. These planets take much longer to move
through our solar system, and so their energies have an enduring effect when
triggered by alignment. Though I
am writing this series as they approach each exact square alignment, the
powerful effects can be felt months before and after (as they gradually
approach and recede from the alignment).
Uranus in the 9th Degree of Aries
Uranus is the planet of Group Awakening; the Innovator of
the Cosmos. This planet, which
rotates sideways on its axis, carries the energies of eccentricity, oddities,
surprises, spontaneity and rebellion.
In Aries, Uranus is the innovative pioneer of new
technologies and ways of thinking.
Aries is the Mars-ruled sign of the leader: confident, initiating, direct, bold, impulsive, and active. This combination suggests that our
collective mind is focused on putting inventive thought into action, which shows
that we are now awakened into the Age of Aquarius and no longer adhering to the
dream of the passing Age of Pisces.
The Age of Aquarius (ruled by forward-thinking Uranus) suggests the
novel ideas of right human relations, humanitarianism, and the unification of
group consciousness. The
separations and dualities of the past are falling away to make way for the idea
of One Earth illuminated with equality.
The Sabian Symbol for the 9th degree of Aries is
‘a crystal gazer’. Here we see
Uranus acting as the Visionary…’a seer of truth, a light to illuminate, to move
in unison with society and not just assimilate’ (an excerpt from my 2005 poem,
‘Voice’). Imagine the ingenious
power of a brilliant quantum physicist tapping into the spiritual realm of the
Mystic and gaining extraordinary insight on all levels of consciousness…and
focusing potentials into reality.
Decades ago, it would be more difficult to imagine the symbiotic
relationship of science and spirituality working in tandem as they once did
long before our time, but it is hardly a far-fetched idea today. Now we have this very thing becoming
more and more prevalent. It’s
about time too, since the separation of the two has proven very limiting in
both fields of study. The point,
though, is that it’s no longer just being studied…the focus of potentials into
reality is being acted upon as we have grown to understand and utilize the laws
of attraction. We live now with
the awareness that it’s no longer good enough to just dream about the life we
want to live…we wake up from that dream and we take an active role in
initiating our visions through focused manifestation.
Pluto in the 9th Degree of Capricorn
Pluto is the planet of Group Alteration; the Transformer of
the Cosmos. This planet, which
lurks on the outskirts of our solar system and has even been considered
‘demoted’ by some, carries the energies of hidden power, drastic change,
suppressed shadows, destruction and regeneration.
In Capricorn, Pluto is the powerful authority of traditional
structures and ambitious, accumulative success. Capricorn is the Saturn-ruled sign of the executive: serious, successful, responsible,
mature, authoritative, and conservative.
This combination suggests that the transformation of our collective experience
is shaking up our traditional ways of building upon old structures, and
shifting away from the misuse of power by the few that currently wield it and
into the hands of those who should actually have the responsibility of
restructuring our planet, which is everyone… together as one regenerative
organism.
The Sabian Symbol for the 9th degree of Capricorn
is ‘An angel playing a harp’.
Here we see Pluto acting as the Angel of Harmony…‘When we
finally outgrow turning friends into foes, and we show that we know how to go
with the flow…
We are one, we are everything, help us sing in Harmony’ (an
excerpt from my 2012 poem, ‘Harmony Happens’). Imagine the transformative power of a divine messenger
tuning the strings of a harp into divine accordance. It is musical alchemy, attuning any instrument (in our case,
Earth herself) to divine harmony.
If the tension (representing the square energy) is too tight and high
strung, it becomes stretched (resulting in discordance) or breaks (resulting in
fashioning a new cord to restring it).
If the tension loosens and becomes slack, it becomes dull (again
resulting in discordance). It is a
small window of opportunity where Harmony shines through, and Pluto is working
diligently to get us there. Are
our symbolic strings connecting our earthly existence to the Divine still able
to make beautiful music? Or are
they being discarded and replaced with new ones during these 6 squares of
Uranus and Pluto? There is now,
and for the next few years, a drive to arrive successfully (Pluto in Capricorn)
at a peaceful resolution, as harmony is the relationship of tensions in
agreement.
The Fool’s Tower
~Fool’s
Tower~
by Felina Lune Kavi
Freed
from old burdens,
bindings
break down.
False
ideas and bad patterns fall,
bricks
and all, to the ground.
What
was this prison I built tall and stately?
Who
was I then, and who am I lately?
Ruins
of humans where nature once grew…
Learn
from the past and create something new.
There is no need to get self-righteous about how we have
individually helped redefine our roles as humans on this planet. And there is no need to get
disheartened by how little we’ve actually accomplished on our own paths
either. We are all, together,
approaching the Fool’s Tower in our collective journey now, no matter what
level we’re on in our individual paths to enlightenment. We, as a human race, are the Fool…not
so much foolish as in making careless mistakes (though there have been many of
those cluttering the trail we’ve been progressively blazing), but foolish in
the choice of our own adventures and infinite possibilities. We all begin with everything we need to
become anything we want, but our wide-eyed wonderment sometimes doesn’t allow
us to look at the ground that guides us along the path…and we often fall. This has been a child-like state that
our human race has been in thus far (regardless of all of our years and
accomplishments, we are still just a blip in cosmic time as far as the
existence of our planet goes). In
this state, we are not only naïve but also tend to get overly optimistic. Bigger, better, faster, stronger is not
always the wisest solution to progress.
So now we have collectively come to the Tower that we, as
Fools, constructed upon our path…where we have previously seen no need to move
beyond. It is a structure that
humankind has made with our own mental ingenuity and physical effort, back when
our focus was to make a mark on our world and prove our dominion over all of
life. Within this tower, arrogant
humans still live…convinced of their rightness…but many of us have come out of
this tower to look at it from the ground, convinced it will soon crumble and
fall. Some of us still feel the
dedication to uphold this tower, and re-enter it day after day to keep working
within it or on it. Some of us
have chosen to drop out of this system, camp on the ground below, and
demonstrate how it has failed us and how we need to rebuild from ground zero in
order to make progress along our path as human beings.
This Fool’s Tower represents our race as alone, singular,
and superior…but we are not. This
realization is like a bolt of lightning slashing down from the heavens upon
these old structures, outdated institutions, false beliefs, social conventions
and traditions that have failed us for lack of insight into the discordance
they would cause our world.
And, by divine intervention, the Tower is struck down to
ruins with only rocks and rubble remaining. Though many of us see it coming, we are still surprised,
stunned, and shaken to the core…watching it all happen in fear and
disbelief. Seeing it crumbled before
us, though, awakens a clarity of vision...our inner eyes have opened. The lies of humanity are being
destroyed and what remains are the foundations of truth. Upon these foundations, we can rebuild
ourselves in accordance with all of nature.
Love and Gratitude,
