Square Two of the Fool's Tower: Manifesting Our Future



Square Two- Manifesting Our Future
9-18-2012 (Uranus Square Pluto in the 7th Degree of Aries and Capricorn) @ 5:34 pm

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 7th Degree of Aries

The Sabian Symbol for the 7th degree of Aries is ‘a man comes forward, flushed with the successful and simultaneous expression of himself in two separate realms.’  Here we see Uranus acting as the Shaman, who is adept at traveling between both ordinary and non-ordinary reality.  The ability to shape-shift between states of consciousness helps us to positively influence change in both the physical and spiritual realms.  Just as in the first square in June, Uranus in Aries highlights an out-of-the-box way of focusing potentials into reality.  I had previously mentioned that Uranus in Aries shows a pioneering connection between quantum physics and metaphysics…where we are learning to embrace both and understand it wholly as Quantum Metaphysics.  Just as the fields of Astrology and Astronomy are limited when separated, we become limited in our understanding of how the universe works when we only observe in one realm.  Quantum exploration is leading us closer and closer to understanding how a person can be in two realms at once while journeying in a shamanic state of consciousness, or astral travel through dreams. 
On a personal level, this degree suggests that the ‘change we wish to see in the world’ can be achieved by taking it to a spiritual level to find the root of what we are dealing with on the physical level.  Each of us has our own part in influencing this transformation, but whatever it is that is being brought into your awareness at this time…a healing is taking place to prepare us for the best expression of our future.  Some will be inclined to fight against it…that is the shadow nature of the square energy.  But the positive nature of the square gives rise to taking an active role in making things happen.

Pluto in the 7th Degree of Capricorn

The Sabian Symbol for the 7th degree of Capricorn is ‘A highly sophisticated magic ritual is displayed with the central figure as a heavily veiled prophet of power.’  Here we see Pluto acting as the Guide.  In the tarot, The High Priestess acts as a guide beyond the veil of mystery and through to the spiritual realm.  The spiritual significance of a veil is one that is often misunderstood in our society.  Many see a veil as an indicator that whatever is being covered needs to be hidden or protected from outside influences.  However, the opposite is true…a veil is meant to protect the outside world from the power behind it.  The same is true for women (and sometimes men) who wear a veil because of their spiritual belief, though we have come to see it as a means to control or limit their power to express themselves openly.  But that power is there within and beyond the veil whether it is shrouded or not.  It does not diminish, it only becomes more concentrated.  Symbolically, Pluto has also been veiled with its recent 'demotion', but in the misunderstood way that our society currently upholds.  Pluto has influenced a lot of havoc since its discovery in 1930...when mobs, gangsters, and criminals were in the spotlight.  But if we take the spotlight off of the shadow of society, put a veil over it to hide it from the public eye, does it diminish its potency or does it only get stronger in secrecy?  Many of us seek transparency, and wish to 'lift the veil'  from the shadow organizations that are currently pulling the strings on our planet...whether it be the banksters, the corporations, or other powerful criminals that are getting away with mass-destructive and shady deals from behind-the-scenes.  So how can we unveil this mystery before it causes even more damage to our earth?  Again, we take it to the spiritual level and use our own hidden power to repair the damage.  The Shaman/Guide is a powerful healer archetype, stalking the shadows in search of the fragments of our collective soul that have been lost over time.  Soul loss is not only a cause of many problems for individuals, but also for our society as a whole.  Pluto guides us toward recognizing our shadows and welcoming back what we've lost or what has been taken from us.
In the Fool’s Journey through the major arcana of the tarot, the High Priestess introduces the Fool to the veil between worlds…where one can peer through to understand deeper, esoteric wisdom.  Secrets are revealed under this influence, and considered in silent reflection.  Self-knowledge as well as instinctual and supernatural knowledge are coming into awareness at this time so that we are better prepared to understand the influx of symbolic information that only continues to accelerate our group awakening and transformation.  This image evokes a balance of shadow and illumination, and relying upon your own personal power by listening to your inner voice.  At this stage of the six squares, we find ourselves on the threshold of gnosis…and if we are ready to experience the power beyond our usually limited view, our spirit guides are there to illuminate the unknown.

Love and Gratitude,
