24th June 2012, 09.12 Hrs in the U.K.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Astrologers have been giving out intimations about this square for some time, and it is now almost upon us.\u00a0 So I am gathering my thoughts together and hopefully something I write will be relevant or useful to what is going on in your life.\u00a0 Pluto and Uranus will be at 8 degrees 24 minutes of Capricorn and Aries respectively.\u00a0 This is the first pass of the square, which will recur several times between now and March 2015. \u00a0This square was prevalent during the Great Depression of the 1930s, so economically we are seeing a parallel as well as in other ways.\u00a0 It is a different time though, and the purpose of the square is to shed old forms to eventually make way for new forms.\u00a0 With that in mind, you may start to see new and higher ways of doing things, and new pathways.\u00a0 If not now, then be open to the possibility.<\/p>\n

Identifying the Square<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

First you need to identify the action of the square in your life, if it is not glaringly obvious.\u00a0 Basically two different energies in two different areas of your life have been building up a storm.<\/p>\n

Knowing your Chart<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

If you know which areas Pluto and Uranus are currently transiting, it is easier to make sense of how they are affecting you, and your nearest and dearest.<\/p>\n

Not Knowing your Chart<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

If you do not know which areas Pluto and Uranus are currently transiting, you may be able to sense which area is being affected by Pluto energy, and which area is being affected by Uranian energy.<\/p>\n

Pluto<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The area containing Pluto is the more passive but psychologically demanding area, and the area in which you will by acceptance and absorption achieve the most work over a long period of time.\u00a0 (Pluto and Capricorn the sign it is transiting are both slow and deep-seated).<\/p>\n

Uranus<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The area containing Uranus will be the ignition or trigger for events and the surprise factor, as well as the rebellion.\u00a0 It will make more noise and be more active (Uranus and Aries the sign it is transiting are both active and volatile).<\/p>\n

Degrees of Involvement<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

If you have a planet or planets at 8 degrees of a sign, you are more likely to be involved in events, and the effect of the square will be enhanced.\u00a0 You may feel some benefits to the square if Uranus or Pluto are trine one of your natal planets, or at least a mixed influence.\u00a0 An example of this is Aung San Suu Kyi whose natal Pluto at 8 degrees Leo is currently receiving a trine from Uranus in Aries, and is now touring and expressing her physical freedom.<\/p>\n

Meditation<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Meditating on the Uranus-Pluto square is very beneficial.\u00a0 Both planets can topple the existing order, and tuning in gradually through meditation helps you to understand and anticipate each twist and turn, and reveal their meanings.\u00a0 You can meditate on bringing Uranus and Pluto together in harmonious ways, seeing them working together to create change in a meaningful way with minimum suffering.\u00a0 Create a balance between them.<\/p>\n

Health<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Many of you have health issues or know someone in a long-standing health situation.\u00a0 Go within to find the causes, but use everything you need: \u00a0bring together conventional and the unconventional medicine if necessary.\u00a0 Everything plays a part, and more than one person may be of help, or a certain person will be the right one at a particular point in time (e.g. a dentist!).\u00a0 Above all, be kind to yourself.<\/p>\n

Space<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We need to co-operate but equally we all need our individual and authentic space and integrity.\u00a0 Leave space in your diary for digestion and meditation.\u00a0 Many of us are getting cranked up to achieve more and more, and working half-tired and not achieving our full potential, ironically.\u00a0 Some of us, conversely, are zonked out, on benefits, possibly feeling worthless, and could do with some work and money and a little activation delegated by those who are overworked.\u00a0 The Uranus-Pluto square is like a mechanism to shake the system in order to ultimately produce a new order, and this applies socially as well as in other fields.<\/p>\n

Resistance to Change<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Those with mainly Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces) will take to change more easily.<\/p>\n

Those with mainly Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius) may feel more innately opposed to change (though Aquarians less so, being ruled by Uranus).<\/p>\n

Apparently, you cannot put new wine in old bottles, and like many people, that is what I often try to do.<\/p>\n

Apparently, you cannot make an omelette without breaking eggs either, which is what I also try to do.<\/p>\n

I have always been in favour of evolutionary change rather than revolutionary change, feeling that it involved less suffering.<\/p>\n

However, this square is a test of the maxim \u201cWhere there is no resistance, there is no harm.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chaos and Creation<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Something which may not appear to be connected directly with this square, but which in the last year and more intensively recently, is the phenomenon of people talking to me about ownership of their ideas.\u00a0 In stories in some cases going years back, people have been saying their ideas were stolen or they do not how to achieve boundaries about the protection of their own creations.\u00a0 The book \u201cEnergetic Boundaries\u201d by Cindi Hale deals with this in a useful way.<\/p>\n

I myself have had experience of this recently, and wonder if it is to do with our Creativity being challenged by the current Chaos.\u00a0 So we might expect to see in this period issues about ownership of information.\u00a0 Julian Assange\u2019s twists and turns (currently he is seeking asylum with the Ecuador Embassy in London) seem to mirror the big squares in recent years, so in some way he may be playing out a collective karmic issue.\u00a0 Though not directly related to the issue I have highlighted here, there is a subtle link in that he was giving out information which in many cases was personal to people.\u00a0 In your own case, if it is relevant, you may want to look into copyright and patency issues at this time.<\/p>\n

It may be worth thinking about that often when ideas are seeded from the Unmanifest worlds they are seeding around the same time in several different places, and then take root where they can.<\/p>\n

Archetypes<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I have identified a gap in the market, for those able and willing to take it up.\u00a0 We have the wonderful work on Archetypes by Carl Jung.\u00a0 We have Archetype cards by Caroline Myss.\u00a0 What we could do with are Archetype models, like model soldiers, we can push around and play with in on a board representing our Psyche.<\/p>\n

Suggested Archetypes<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Knight<\/p>\n

Inner Warrior<\/p>\n

Goddess<\/p>\n

Priestess<\/p>\n

Inner Child<\/p>\n

Peacemaker<\/p>\n

Archetypes to take a back seat<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Victim<\/p>\n

Saboteur<\/p>\n

Tyrant<\/p>\n

Judge<\/p>\n

How to Play<\/em><\/strong><\/span>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

1.<\/em><\/strong>Assemble pieces if you have a set, or in your imagination.<\/em> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

2.<\/strong>We need Harry Hill or his model to bring them all to life and announce the start of the game. \u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

3. <\/em><\/strong>Shuffle the Archetypes around until they form a sensible working model of how life should be<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Do\u2019s and Don\u2019ts<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This is not a time to be trying to initiate something new, or purchasing anything new, unless it has presented itself as a necessity.\u00a0 It is a time of trying to deal with present realities.\u00a0 It is a time describable as \u201cThings fall apart, the centre cannot hold\u201d (Yeats and Chinua Achebe).\u00a0 So depending whether, to skip to Hindu terminology, you are the Shiva (Destroyer), Brahma (Creator) or Vishnu (the Preserver) you will try to deal with this in different ways and have different roles and aims.\u00a0 To take an example, the NHS: \u00a0If you are a Conservative politician (maintaining you can\u2019t make an omelette without breaking eggs) you may try to destroy the NHS, if you are an NHS worker you may try to preserve, nurture and cherish the NHS, and if you are an old-style Labour politician and upholder of the original Nanny State which created it, you may do all you can to save it.<\/p>\n

Do Exercise your Free Will<\/p>\n

[Apologies for mixing Archetypes and Hindu Gods in one blog]<\/p>\n

The Global Picture<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The global picture of the Uranus-Pluto square looks quite stark at the moment.\u00a0 As I put it in a recent blog about the intractability of three key issues (10 June):<\/p>\n

\u201cYou may have an idea of how clashing forces in your life are squaring up.\u00a0 In the world situation, it relates to the dilemmas and intractable complexity of the Euro (to bail out or not to bail out), the Syrian Question (to intervene or not to intervene) and the climate issue (climate change or climate change denial).\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

These issues could reach a peak this week.<\/p>\n

Finance<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

All have been affected by the 2008 credit crunch through the 2009 recession denial , the 2010 wobble and the 2011 double dip and now the acuteness of the 2012 Euro crisis, from the rich man counting out his money and thinking he hasn\u2019t got a big enough bonus to the single parent on the breadline counting each penny, some obviously more than others.<\/p>\n

We are on the possible brink of a huge collapse economically, with all eyes on whether or not Greece will leave the Euro, and fears of the consequences.\u00a0 For the moment, they have voted to stay in.\u00a0 Even President Obama has urged Europe\u2019s financiers to act, with the global economy balancing on this situation.<\/p>\n

Eventually, the money system may have to change altogether.<\/p>\n

Syria<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Another key cause for concern at the moment: Bashar Al Assad is intransigeant in the face of civil war and almost universal condemnation.\u00a0 The world is horrified at the suffering of the Syrian people, but Russia and China refuse to sanction any outside intervention or humanitarian relief.<\/p>\n

The Middle East in general is in turmoil.\u00a0 Foreign troops are still in Afghanistan, Iraq has never recovered from the Western intervention of 2003, and Israel and America are nervous of Iran\u2019s nuclear capability.<\/p>\n

But the most pressing situation, the one which could erupt further at the time of the Uranus-Pluto square, is the Syrian question.\u00a0 The Iran question may wait at least until the next pass of the Uranus-Pluto square in September.<\/p>\n

Climate<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The question is whether it is nobler to act to alleviate climate change, or deny that climate change exists.<\/p>\n

James Lovelock<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

James Lovelock, who formulated the Gaia theory, is one of those we automatically think of in relation to the climate, has Uranus exactly square his Nodal Axis, which is symbolic of the fact that he has done a U-turn from his original position that we must save the planet.\u00a0 He now takes the position that she can and will save herself, and never mind us.\u00a0 According to an interview in the Guardian by Leo Hickman he is relaxed about this change of mind (as befits one who has Uranus square the Nodal Axis): \u201cBut Lovelock is relaxed about how this reversal might be perceived.\u00a0 He says being allowed to change your mind and follow the evidence is one of the liberating marvels of being an independent scientist\u201d.\u00a0 He dislikes wind turbines.<\/p>\n

Other players voicing opinions on climate change include:-<\/p>\n

George Monbiot (pro-nuclear and pro-GM crops) and Nigel Lawson (climate change denier)<\/p>\n

Al Gore (in favour of saving the planet), Jonathon Porritt (against nuclear reactors) and Caroline Lucas (against nuclear power and pro-wind turbines)<\/p>\n

It is possible that Gaia may have something to say on the subject this week.<\/p>\n

Last Word<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

If in doubt, and if the going gets tough, remember you are a multidimensional being and have access to spiritual help from many sources in the Universe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
