and Our Reflection Upon Mother Earth

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 of the
seven exact square alignments, the powerful effects can be felt months before
and after (as they gradually approach and recede from the alignment).
On this 7th and final
square during this cycle, Uranus urges us to return to the lessons of the Full Blood Moon Eclipse of last October which was in the same degree. As an eclipse’s effects last for half a
year (until the next eclipse begins a new lesson), this month and the next are
essentially the climax of that eclipse energy. To find hints of similarity during this stage of our
journey, consider what in your life has been your emotional focus since that
eclipse last year. Has it come to
a crisis point as we have drawn nearer to this current planetary square? A total transformation is in store for
each of us and for the world at large, and these dynamic planets are urging us
to take action.
This is when Human Nature
and Mother Nature respond as one unit of symbiotic cells to each other as well
as to the Universe as a whole.
These pulses of crises throughout this past three years, enduring the
lessons brought on by 7 intense planetary squares, have been urging us to take
action in how we should operate as a celestial organism together. Body, Mind, and Spirit together
experienced the void left in the wounds of collective and individual soul
loss. Now is the time to retrieve
the soul parts hidden under past regrets and misfortunes.
Though we may look outside
to the distant celestial bodies that can help us predict our timing from our
perspective, our Earth is the best indicator of how to respond to who we are
and what we should do with our lives.
Now is the time to listen.
Now is the time to hear her and follow her lead.
Young or old, male or
female…in our rainbow of colors and many forms of love…we are the children of
Mother Earth. The separations of
percentages and statistics, the shackles of time and money, and the judgments
of entitlement and deprivation are human constructs built on insecure foundations.
We’ve been witness to the fall of the tower of man in our lifetime, and we are
here to pick up the pieces. Who is
to blame is not important. We all
had a hand in it. This cycle of
the Fool’s Journey is ours to experience together, and we are meant to come out
of the ruins more alive than ever.
We are to see with fresh
eyes the lies and deceit and fears of our past that brought us to this point in
our journey. We do not forget as
we turn away from it, but we must forgive. After all, what comes next in our journey is a glimmer of
hope…shining a light in the distance during our moment of despair. What was lost may appear to be just out
of reach, but it is there.
The next step in our
collective evolution after the fall of the Tower is symbolized by the Star in
the Major Arcana of the Tarot. The
image is often characterized by a woman kneeling between land and water,
pouring from two chalices under the light of a very bright star. In this part of the Fool’s Journey, the
Fool stands amongst the rubble where the Tower once stood. He hoped to find direction on this
spiritual journey; a path to his spiritual self. Instead he just learned that most of his life was a lie and
now he feels lost. Looking for
some kind of guide, he gazes into the night sky. A bright star shines down on a beautiful woman with two
chalices of water. She is emptying
one into a pool of water and the other onto the ground. She tells him she is refilling the pool
so that those who are thirsty can drink and she is watering the earth so that
more food will grow for those who are hungry. She offers him water and food…both of which heal his wounded
spirit.
Restored, he looks back to
the bright star. The woman tells
him to keep it in sight on his journey.
It will guide him to his destination no matter how distant it is.
Ruled by Aquarius, this card
is a sign of hope for the future and reminds us that there will always be help
to offer us sustenance in bleak times.
It tells us we can rebuild on stronger foundations this time…not on
power and greed, but on hope for future generations. The message here is that creating a better tomorrow won’t
happen overnight. It will take
time and care, but we must not lose sight of it. Now is a time of healing…a need for the collective soul
retrieval after trauma and loss.
This is a time to revive and move forward…away from that which no longer
serves us and toward that which makes our future on this planet possible.
Uranus in the 16th Degree of Aries: Nature Spirits Dancing in the Setting
Sunlight
The Sunset is often a symbol of
personal fulfillment. In such times, we may be able to establish a
life-giving contact with natural forces. Such forces are active any time
growth processes take place, but our individualized minds are usually too
focused on working for consciously set goals to be able to realize the presence
of invisible forces in operation.
Still, these forces of nature act as
guiding, balancing, and harmonizing factors in all life. It is when our
own individualized energy becomes less dominant (symbolically, at sunset), or
the body is weakened by illness, fasting, sensory deprivation…or even set aside
in meditation, altered states of consciousness, or sleep…that it becomes easier
to perceive these ‘nature spirits’ and to give them forms that symbolize the
character of their activity.
The Sunset also indicates the end of
a long day’s labors. In this time, these forces of nature want to take
over…while we rest, relax, and step back from all emotionally-charged
concerns. These nature spirits, then, examine just what is needed and
dance in order to shift and balance our vibrational realities into harmony,
healing, and healthy function.
As this cycle of Uranus-Pluto squares
comes to a close, Uranus in this degree is an invitation to open our minds to
the possibility of approaching life in a holistic and nonrational, intuitive
manner. It reminds us that we have help when we need it…often from
unexpected places or unseen forces.
Pluto in the 16th degree of Capricorn: School Grounds Filled with Boys and
Girls in Gymnasium Suits
There is a need to get active…to get
the physical body in shape for the future that is to come. At the same time, we must enjoy it…it
must be fun if we are to keep at it.
Many of us have been neglecting this part of our lives…placing greater
importance on so many other things that we may attribute to ‘adult
responsibilities’. But when we are
truly honest with ourselves, we know that keeping our bodies healthy is of
greater importance than most other things we tend to focus on in our daily
routines. Physical health spirals
out to improve our emotional, mental, and spiritual health as well. When we are physically unhealthy…it is
much more difficult to reach a balance with all other aspects of our
well-being.
Spontaneous enthusiasm and the joy of
being alive can regenerate, revive, and bring about carefree contact with
like-minded people. Proactive
excitement for the future makes living in the now that much more enjoyable. This
symbol also highlights children in uniform…where everyone is on a level playing
field. It reminds us that we are
one of many who are making an effort to reach the same goal. It also reminds us that no matter how
‘adult’ we have become…we are all children, and we must revive some of that
youthful exuberance to get the ball rolling.
Pluto here encourages us to put forth
the effort needed in order to reach our goals toward positive
transformations. This is a time to
rebuild, and we will need to be physically able to endure the long haul so that
our children, and our children’s children, can reap the rewards of our endeavors.
Love and Gratitude,
