In Astrology we are working with Planetary cycles among other techniques, to understand better the times we are living in. The Planets in our Solar system move in a different pace so the planetary encounters are changing every year/ once in a while, depend on the planets, we will see cycles that return again and again. the Moon for example is moving fast so he will meet all the other Planets every month, but slower moving planets, like Uranus and Pluto will meet less often, especially since Pluto’s orbit is elliptic. History tells us that every time there’s a meeting point between these two important planets, history changes.
The cycle of Uranus and Pluto is in the first quarter phase, which means that they are creating a square between them, an aspect that is bringing new processes and cycles to our life and is being a catalyst for major changes in our personal life and in the history of humanity. This aspect will be around for the next 5 years with 7 exact encounters of the planets. This means that we are going to experience deep and releasing global and personal processes. we have an opportunity to rewrite our history and to go through a deep and intensive cleansing in many different levels. The question that we have to ask ourselves is are we willing to go through this powerful process and to take the risk that our lives will not be the same again. the thought about changing bringing a lot of people to feel fear and anxiety, naturally or unnaturally, it means we are being drawn out of our comfort zone to see more clearly if the life that we have are really the life that we want and need.
When we look at history, every time there was an aspect between Pluto and Uranus many important things happened. In the sixties, Uranus and Pluto were in conjunction, starting the cycle we are living today, and we saw Martin Luther King in his historical speech “I have a dream”, where he declares about his intentions to bring equality in right for black people in America. we also had in the sixties many revolutions in various states in Africa and the Prime minister of South Africa, who was also the architect of the Apartheid, was murdered. In america we had a rising wave of people who were sick of the Vietnam war and called for Love and Peace. in a different area we had the first record of the Beatles.
More important events during Uranus/Pluto aspects were:
In 1848 the Communist Manifest of Marx and Engels, and 2 days after started the European revolutions called the Spring of Nations.
In December 1901, with the opposition of Pluto in Gemini to Uranus in Sagittarius, the first trans Atlantic Radio transmission was sent.
In a less positive way, in the 30’s Hitler was rising in Germany and brought with the square aspect a collective trauma (Pluto and Uranus are also related to Traumas) from the 2WW. this was very destructive for many in the long run. Pluto was then in Cancer and Uranus in Aries too.
On another place Gandhi was fighting in a non violent way to release India from the British Empire.
Pluto in Capricorn is letting us know that it’s time to release and move everything that is not working for us anymore, if it’s old ways of thinking or old rules that o not align with universal truth. It’s a time for a deep karmic cleansing that can bring to the surface many fears and traumas from the past, combined with guilt and shame. a good example for this process is the Catholic Church and the Vatican, experiencing deep buried crimes of people in service of the church.
These fears and traumas can put us in the middle of an emotional hurricane of negativity and evil. This is our time to learn to handle with our darker sides. only walking through the valley of the shadow of death can make us stronger and able to empower others around us. we have the choice. If we take responsibility on our power and treat nature, animals , earth and other people with dignity and respect then we can heal ourselves and others.
With Pluto in Capricorn we are closing a cycle with the square from the 30’s, when Hitler and his party were rising. Pluto then was in Cancer square Uranus in Aries. Pluto in Cancer created an emotional trauma for the Jewish people and to the rest of the world in different levels. this trauma passed from generation to generation passing the emotional pain. Astrologically speaking, Cancer/Capricorn axis is connected to our family history, roots and tradition. now when Pluto is in Capricorn we have an opportunity to heal this pain and change our DNA memories. by releasing this we also have to remember that we must not do the same thing to others and create more negative Karma. It brings the Jews back to the challenge of changing and rewriting their history.
Uranus in Aries brings a need to to make a progress and to build the future with new ideas. he wants to leave all the old boring ways and start everything with more equality, new structures and ideologies and bring new life to everything. It can come as fighting for social justice, taking down old leaders and governments, using new technologies to find life on Mars (the ruler of Aries) and start a new cycle in our humanity – how to be a human is now changing form. Uranus’s job is to move forward and many times, especially when it’s in Aries, this energy can bring a luck in patience. a feeling that we need to change things now and we cannot wait or slow down for those left behind. This can create a social gap, because not everyone will evolve at the same pace, and some of the faster moving beings can completely cut themselves from their group, family etc.
Beyond changes and reforms Uranus is also about Ideologies and society. In the 30’s (Uranus in Aries square Pluto in Cancer) we had Hitler rising with new ideology. he wanted to purify the Aryan race and saw it as superior to other races. all this brought destruction and collective trauma. will history repeat itself? can we get over some superiority complexes in the western society and nurture the other, the different?
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. – Martin Luther King 1963 (Uranus in Aries)
The Uranus Pluto square can bring many changes – politically, economically, socially, new governments and new leaders. it is bringing a new spirit blowing in the world and bringing important transformation. more things that can be in the spot light are social justice and equality for all, fall of social elites and wealthy capitalists who rule the banks and leading companies, broad changes in law, economic or any system that hold the power and the influence. Europe is already rising in Greece and in Spain with demonstrations and it will effect the Euro and other coins, since the Euro natal Sun is in 1o degrees Capricorn square Spain’s natal Pluto! so world economy will be very unstable during this transit. of course we will also experience a strong resistance from those that were with the power in their hands until now. look at what is happening in Syria, but this resistance is coming from fear of the governmant, so we must not let it effect us and be a wiser consumers.
This is also a time that can bring many new inventions and discoveries. for example, looking at the CERN chart, who are looking for the God particle, we can see Pluto/Uranus aspect will affect the organization strongly and during 2013/2014 they can have a lot of breakthroughs. also historical and archaeological findings can change everything that we knew until now and put to the test traditional conditioning that we grew upon. many holy cows are going to fall to the ground and we will continue to see important events that will change the history of our planet. the changes will not happen in one day of course, so we need to have commitment and trust in the process, also in times that will be more challenging. it’s important to remember what is behind this, and to know that sometimes we need to let go of something to gain something else, more progressed and evolve.
In your personal life, where this transit affects you, changes and upgrades will have to be made with courage and a deeper and wider vision to the future. try not to resist these changes but to see how can you stand in the face of challenges and make the best out of it. it is really a time to get out of the box and the old conditioning and see things differently.
