For some of us this may look like dynamic outward action, for others this may be an intense inner journey opening immense new worlds within: no matter the method, we must also be aware that we are only one of many in our collective, with a vision as important but no more important than anyone elses dream. Jeffrey Wolf Green has been called the founder of Evolutionary Astrology because he first started to lecture on the revolutionary astrological paradigm in 1977 after receiving a dream from the spiritual master Swami Sri Yukteswar, Paramahansa Yogananda's guru. The fact that the South Node of the Moon is in Taurus means collectively, all souls on our planet are processing and synthesizing past issues connected with Taurus, including past life issues that could be buried in our unconscious. In this time of Easter, with a potent conjunction of Venus, the Sun, Uranus, and Mars all occurring in Aries (not to mention that this Aries stellium is square Capricorn Pluto and forms a yod with Jupiter in Gemini pointing toward Saturn in Scorpio), we can resurrect our true Self or Soul, our true Genius or Juno, however you want to describe it, but the soulful callings of our life purpose we can hear in the wind, which may have fallen dormant in years past, now is burning like the bush calling out to Moses, calling on us to liberate our true being from within and actualize our true Path in the World at this time. Integrating these two views (much as Jung began to do in his final years under the influence of synchronicities), contemporary astrology suggest that archetypes possess a reality that is both objective and subjective, one that informs both outer cosmos and inner human psyche, as above, so below' (p. 85-6). The Sabian Symbol for the current placement of Saturn in Scorpio is especially illuminating in this way: Scorpio 8: A calm lake bathed in moonlight, Keynote: A quiet openness to higher inspiration. The basic form thereof is not changed by the Jupiterian action, even though its outer shape may be distorted or distended as it expands. But at the same time, they also manifest themselves in fantasies and often reveal their presence only by symbolic images. When our vision of life fueled by the knowledge we are gaining from our personal experience (Jupiter) comes into conflict with the norms dictated by consensus belief systems (Capricorn where Pluto is currently transiting and the location of the South Nodes of Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto) we arrive at a crux in which we can feel judged, ashamed, and guilty or could instead rebel and individuate with self assertion in the direction of the vision being felt within. Jupiter in Leo and Uranus in Aries will again trine on June 22, 2015 at 2003. In myth, Prometheus is a Titan who initially supported Zeus (Jupiter) in his revolution against Cronus and the ruling Titans, only to become a trickster foil to the power grabbing strategies of a Zeus who grew into a tyrannical power not unlike the Cronus he had overthrown. Alice Bailey inEsoteric Astrology described Aries as the searchlight of the Logos and the Light of Life Itself . But these are nothing more than conscious representations; it would be absurd to assume that such variable representations could be inherited. From Astro-Databank. At this phase of the transiting Jupiter and Uranus cycle, we can feel passionate about a vision that has felt destined, yet also feels challenged by overwhelming obstacles. The potential of using Taurus sensory awareness to develop greater connection with Spirit and presence in the Now of the constant flux of life, also reminds me of the wisdom contained in Taoism. The opposition point of this cycle was on August 30, 2003 with Jupiter at zero degrees of Virgo and Uranus retrograde at zero degrees of Pisces. These aspects of dukkha related to self-identity are the other two types of clinging taught by the Buddha: clinging for being and for nonbeing. This is an important aspect I dont have the space or time in this blog to properly explore, but it is sometimes the idea of being empty or lacking ego that draws some to Buddhism in order to get away from their egocentric perspective; however, to the Buddha, in either case it is the minds need for certainty that shortchanges reality (p.22). Green, Jeff. In this article I am focusing on the meaning of the Jupiter and Uranus cycle in transit, meaning the aspect formed by transiting Jupiter with transiting Uranus. The long Mercury retrograde in Pisces combined with Neptune, Chiron, Mars, Venus, the Moon, and the Sun all moving through Pisces may have coincided with us discovering at least a hint, if not a definitive calling, from our Soul purpose in the world, the latent potential of a glorious mountain pine tree that could grow from the seeds of our current thoughts and desires. Things may get steamy, as this fire trine will occur within the dense atmosphere of Pluto in Capricorn and Saturn in Scorpio. In Evolutionary Astrology and other teachings, Uranus carries an energy of collective trauma that can be seen in the myth by Uranus being castrated by Saturn, while also carrying an unstoppable energy of individuation as a result of overcoming the societal conditioning of Saturn, as seen in this castration giving birth to the radiant Goddess Venus. 12 talking about this. As we open our hearts and Higher Minds, we externalize those aspects of ourself which correspond to the Christ and the Buddha. The Buddhas teachings were always direct and to the point. According to Rudhyar, the seal symbolizes a regressive step since it is a creature of the ocean clinging to the woman attempting to emerge from the deep water. 4. (1964). In popular astrology we are familiar with linking the sign of Aries with the sort of bravado that could lead one to skinny dipping in public, but the deeper astrological symbolism of the sign links it with the courage necessary to fully individuate ourselves, open ourselves to exposing our pure Soul and living our True Path in the world, despite influences of societal conditioning that would have us conform to consensus expectations of behavior rooted in the past and present. We do not fear death, we step into it and experience our freedom. On a global level, our personal epiphanies will be happening within the whole of the paradigm shifts associated with the first quarter square between Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn. Strictly speaking, however, the process of individuation is real only if the individual is aware of it and consciously makes a living connection with it. On March 28, 2013 there were several incredibly potent conjunctions in Aries: the Sun and Venus at 8 degrees of Aries, Venus and Uranus at 9 degrees of Aries, and the Sun conjunct Uranus at 9 degrees of Aries. | Mar 30, 2014 4.4 out of 5 stars 32 The fact is that each person has to do something different, something that is uniquely his own (p. 162-164). The Buddha taught the middle path because the self concept of being a somebody or a nobody are both mistakes, having a self-centered attitude is as much of a problem as the self-abnegating one (p.22). It is a time to go through death, because death is our friend in transformation- like Mahakala, we can make friends with our own personal demons and integrate ourselves into greater consciousness, as Mahakala turns demons into protection. Dane Rudhyar, An Astrological Mandala, p. 202. Tied into this symbol is a seeker who has transformed into a warrior, refusing to depend upon the past, and fighting anew the eternal Great War (p. 81). The archetype is a tendency to form such representations of a motif- representations that can vary a great deal in detail without losing their basic pattern. In his book Man and His Symbols, CarlJung criticized the connotation of the term archaic remnants created by Freud to describe dream imagery evoking ancient myths because it suggested that they were psychic unconscious elements collected by the conscious mind like a trash can. The developing vision we began to sense in 2010 was especially powerful as it also involved the ingress of Uranus in Aries. Jupiter in Leo and Uranus in Aries will again trine March 3, 2015 at 1435. 3. Many more in the grove, they replied with unsparing simplicity and none of my taste for duplicity. The tending of sheep is important in all of the Abraham faiths, since Abraham, Isaac, Moses, David, and Muhammad were all shepherds. Fascinating information courtesy Jeffrey Wolf Green's . Incarnation means embodied in flesh or in the flesh, in the meat (carne), and so connects with Taurus as being the second sign of the zodiac since in Taurus we incarnate into form the new impulse of celestial life connected with the first sign of the zodiac, Aries. This new form consolidates and settles, and once again there isharmony until the entrance of the next change! Each time we thus reach out with joy, each time we cast our view toward distances that have not yet been touched, we transform not only the present moment and the one following but alter the past within us, weave it into the pattern of our existence, and dissolve the foreign body of pain whose exact composition we ultimately do not know., Rainer Maria Rilke (from Letters on Life, p. 7). The spiritual light within the greater Soul must struggle against the ego-will that only knows how to use the powers of this material and intellectual world. Nirvana, as the late San Francisco Zen master Suzuki Roth put it, is the capacity to maintain ones composure in the face of ceaseless change. Man strives hard to achieve great things through daring adventures, but a moment comes when all that really matters is to present a calm mind upon which a supernal light may be reflected. In astrology, two of the approaches I am most drawn to are deeply connected with the Soul: Evolutionary Astrology and Esoteric Astrology. Green explained this is similar to how we do not even consciously remember every single thing that happened to us yesterday, and our long-term memory becomes even more imprecise every following day, week, year, and decade. On Wednesday, March 18, 2015 at 10:00 am Pacific Standard Time, I will be appearing on Kristin FontanasGuiding Stars radio show. Thus according to the man who coined the term archetypes, they are not in fact locked in to rigid definitions or classifications, but are indeed open to being birthed into new representations like the Esoteric Astrology interpretation of Aries, as long as they retain their basic pattern. In Jeffrey Wolf Greens Evolutionary Astrology, the purpose of experiencing disillusionment is to ultimately make it possible to align ourselves to a greater extent with the actual truth and meaning of anything. This new vision would have been felt on an instinctual level, and while it would have lacked a sense of complete clarity, we would have felt compelled to spontaneously act from it in as many directions as possible. Tarnas, Richard. The key, from the Buddhas perspective, is to find nirvana through overcoming ones own self-created obstacles to that composure. Jupiter in Libra and Uranus in Aries will come in and out of the Full phase during 2017, finally entering the Full phase for good in September 2017. Because of these factors of sameness and difference, it is difficult to summarize the infinite variations of the process of individuation. At this crucial evolutionary gate, Jupiter will be at 21 degrees of Libra, Uranus will be at 21 degrees of Aries, and Saturn will be at 21 degrees of Sagittarius. I was recently listening to a taped lecture by astrologer Alan Oken and gained a new sense of understanding for the sign of Taurus by hearing him break down the etymology of Incarnation. Rudhyar, Dane. I recently saw a talk given by astrologer Mark Jones in Seattle in which he expressed his feeling that the North Node of Neptune correlates with an evolutionary choice to re-integrate our personal and collective traumatic memories through a creative actualization in some way. The work to free ourselves from possessiveness and materiality so that through these lessons true Wisdom may emerge is very definitely at the center of the Taurean phase of the turning of the wheel. This natal interpretation of Uranus in Aries to me fits the current transit of Uranus in Aries being in square to Pluto in Capricorn, as we are all being confronted with how we can manage to integrate the ideal vision we have for our life into the current reality of the power structure, such as economic and political conditions in our surroundings. . . Oken, Alan.(1990). In world transits, the cyclical alignments of Jupiter and Uranus correlated consistently with condensed waves of celebrated milestones of creative or emancipatory activity across many fields. However, although we would have been called to pursue various strands of the new beliefs being stirred up from within, unless we were fortunate it is likely that there was a lack of structures in place at that time in which to ground and manifest the full range of what we could feel internally. This esoteric view of Mercury is similar to the Hermes of ancient myth who was capable of crossing back and forth between the thresholds of the underworld and the upperworld. The purpose behind the Gibbous re-adjustment is to analyze the structure of the surrounding social environment in order to discern how to integrate our developing vision into work or service that is needed by the greater whole. As Dane Rudhyar imagined, where the walls of consciousness are strong, the Jupiterian urge opens the gates, that caravans loaded with Uranian gifts from the farther lands may enter. While the trine between Jupiter in Leo and Uranus in Aries is happening in the next month, we will have a Mercury retrograde phase occur from the beginning of Scorpio back into the middle of Libra. Again, the realization of this uniqueness in the individual man is the goal of the process of individuation. In these ways Green equated the Uranus archetype with the concept of the individuated unconscious of the Soul developed by Carl Jung that correlates with the unique content of each Soul. It is our sense of self-certainty in either case that is the issue, because since life is always changing, if we are clinging to any sense of self too strongly we are not being fully in the moment, fully going on being (p.22). A.H. Almaas:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A._H._Almaas. It also has a frequent association with the realm and aspirations of culture, especially high culture: high principle, higher learning, breadth of knowledge, liberal education, cultured erudition, a wide and encompassing vision. This however is true only insofar as Jupiter represents a trend of development that leads in the opposite direction from that of the Saturn process. Because of the dominance of popular astrology and the use of pop astrology stereotypes, for example associating an infantile, headstrong, or selfish egotist with the sign of Aries, people can make the mistake of assuming that Aries energy is meant to come off as pushy and aggressive. The cycle between Jupiter and Uranus can help foster individuation, as their interplay connects with transformative breakthroughs that can feel unsettling at first, but ultimately liberating. Discipline means restraining the habitual movement of the mind, so that instead of blind impulse there can be clear comprehension (p. 71). In contrast to thinking of the Buddha when we think of Taurus, as a result of Venus traditionally ruling Taurus in astrology many tend to visualize the sign as a sensual Goddess enjoying her physical incarnation and all the pleasures that can come through it. In addition, with Jupiter continuing to be in Gemini and Venus moving into the beginning of Gemini at the time of the eclipse, we could experience a flood of information concerning the desires we have that are linked with past incarnations, more information than could even seem useful because of the overwhelming feeling it brings. . (illness) remained sidelined at Friday's practice, Matt Schneidman of . Thus the First Quarter square aspect between Jupiter in Cancer and Uranus in Aries, that also involved a Full opposition between Jupiter with Pluto in Capricorn, led to an examination of the beliefs we were living from and whether or not we were living from a sense of conformity to the inherited values of the society, family, friends, and associations surrounding us. In this way Aries is linked to the initial impulse to emerge in the process of Individuation developed by Carl Jung, a transformative process in which we develop an identity of our true Self through integrating different elements of our psyche into a functioning whole and holistically healing ourselves as a result. In ancient myths and spiritual texts such as the Bible, shepherds often receive divine messages, such as in the painting above by William Blake of angels appearing to shepherds. Yet these long term memories remain held by Uranus, and a memory formerly blocked can suddenly come like a bolt of Uranian lightning into our consciousness through the boundary Saturn governs with our subconscious. It may be outlined as follows: A person finds herself in a relative state ofharmony,but then a certainchange enters her life, shifting the status quo. Very few in your hand, Lord. This is a key point to ponder and realize that the Jupiter vision of life we develop is not only conditioned by familial and cultural influences, but also by significant Soul memories and the full meaning of the Uranus archetype, including the South Node of Uranus by aspect and house position. We are born into circumstances saturated with the belief systems of the adults who feed us, teach us, and take care of us. The Buddha next elaborated upon an Eightfold Path that leads to enlightenment: Right Understanding, Right Thought, Right Speech, Right Action, Right Livelihood, Right Effort, Right Mindfulness, and Right Concentration. The North Node of Uranus in Gemini therefore relates to how the projected religions, philosophies, and ethics were focused on facilitating the organization of people into collective societies that eventually turned into the nation states we have today. Mark Epstein,Going on Being: Buddhism and the Way of Change, p. 125. Without the living tree, the image of the pine is only a possibility or an abstract idea. Since the current South Node of the Moon in Taurus will be conjunct the Solar Eclipse today, all of our soul desires on a collective and individual level could be triggered. It bores, through the walls of the ego, holes, telescopes, microscopes, channels through which the flashes of intuition, the inspiration of genius, may suddenly reveal themselves to the Saturn-bound consciousness. The current Jupiter and Uranus cycle began in 2010, when Jupiter and Uranus were conjunct at the zero degree Aries point and at the end of Pisces: Jupiter and Uranus were conjunct at 018 Aries on June 8, 2010. They are without known origin; and they reproduce themselves in any time or in any part of the world- even where transmission by direct descent or cross fertilization through migration must be ruled out. sort by * Note: these are all the books on Goodreads for this author. , two of the next change p. 202 am Pacific Standard time, I will be appearing Kristin!
