In his recently revised and re-published Uranus: Freedom from the Known, Jeff Green analyzed the meaning of a natal Uranus in Ariesthat has some resonance with the current transit of Uranus through Aries: Mental trauma can occur to these individuals because of an inability to accept physically, psychologically or karmically prescribed limitations that create the effect of blocking them from achieving their inner sense of special destiny, of not being able to do anything or everything that they feel they could do. One could stress the romantic suggestions such an image evokes, but even at the level of a love relationship what is implied is a surrender of two personal egos to the inspiration of transcendent feelings which are essentially impersonal.

What is the new serial killer documentary on Netflix? InCosmos and Psyche, Richard Tarnas explained that it was in part through his research on synchroncities that Jung came to regard archetypes as expressions not only of a collective unconscious shared by all human beings but also of a larger matrix of being and meaning that informs and encompasses both the physical world and the human psyche (p. 82-3). Other astrologers have talked about the Moon or the 12th house as the karmic past. Jung believed that archetypal images and associations connect our rational world of consciousness with our world of instinct (p. 49). Jeffrey Wolf Green has emphasized that this humbling is needed in order to make adjustments to overly willful and inflated desires, a potential that is very possible when dealing with the dynamic combination of Jupiter with Uranus. An Astrological Mandala: the cycle of transformations and its 360 symbolic phases. The previous Jupiter and Uranus cycle began on February 5, 1997 at 553 Aquarius.

In the context of the Jupiter and Uranus cycle, we are not at one of its peak periods like the conjunction that occurred in 2010, or the square that began occurring a year ago and lasted through this past May. All pine trees are very much alike (otherwise we should not recognize them as pines), yet none is exactly the same as another. The First Quarter square between Jupiter in Cancer and Uranus in Aries first occurred on, The final First Quarter square formed by Jupiter and Uranus in April 2014 was extraordinary in magnitude, as it occurred as part of a Cardinal Grand Square involving Uranus in Aries, Jupiter in Cancer, Mars retrograde in Libra, and Pluto stationing retrograde in Capricorn. The tending of sheep is important in all of the Abraham faiths, since Abraham, Isaac, Moses, David, and Muhammad were all shepherds. However, going into the meaning of all the aspects that transiting Jupiter and Uranus could make to your natal placements of Jupiter and Uranus is also beyond the scope of this article. It is worth remembering that while astrologers have known about the planet Uranus for a few centuries now, in the expanse of astrologys history it has been a relatively short time of existence. Combined with Uranus, we can see how this expansion toward a greater whole and a higher order of magnitude may appear on the surface as paradoxical when linked to the shattering change wrought by Uranus that can feel like chaos or the dismantling of an old secure order or framework. It pierces through Saturn and throws upon the inside walls of the conscious ego images of the more universal and freer world which extends outside of these walls. Oken, Alan.(1990). On the Pontine Swamps (1852) by Arnold Bcklin. . . It is primarily our Saturn, our structure of consciousness, that to Green filters out these soul memories covering immense periods of time, so as not to overwhelm us. He left his princely palace life in order to follow his own Path of Spirit, a journey which took him into many turns leading within himself. So what does all of this have to do with us today? Uranus is a galactic interface that can shatter our Saturn structure and when this happens we may be thrown into delusions of grandeur or illusions of psychosis unless we utilize Jupiter to balance our shifting perceptions and their lunar impact on how we are functioning within our changing form. InSoul-Centered Astrology, Alan Oken illuminated this connection between Taurus and the Buddha: The Buddha taught that the path of detachment from desire is the vehicle for the entrance of Light; that is, the Creative Will . A.H. Almaas:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A._H._Almaas. It pierces through Saturn and throws upon the inside walls of the conscious ego images of the more universal and freer world which extends outside of these walls. Rudhyar, Dane.

The term archetypes at this point in the history of astrology is usually tossed around by writers without reflecting upon the origins of the word, which in published authorship can be traced to one Carl Jung. In Jeffrey Wolf Greens Evolutionary Astrology, Uranus is the long term memory mind of our Soul- meaning not just all of the memories from our own lifetime beyond the ones we consciously remember this moment, but all of the memories from all of the past incarnations of our Soul. Uranus: Master of Transformations.

It is the result of some basic action: a leaving behind, an emerging from a womb or matrix, here symbolized by the sea (p. 49-50). For a different perspective on Uranus, in the evolutionary astrology taught by Jeffrey Wolf Green Uranus is the long-term memory mind of our soul- meaning not just all of the memories from our own lifetime beyond the ones we consciously remember this moment, but also all of the memories from all of the past incarnations of our soul. A further interesting aspect of the current first quarter trine phase between Jupiter in Leo and Uranus in Aries, is that Jupiter in Leo is conjunct the North Node of Neptune. Yet this is the necessary urge for creation and change underlying our reality, and the change brought by Jupiter and Uranus take us beyond our previous restricted worldview into a new reality giving us goosebumps with the surge of electricity available from the new surroundings. In the Platonic view that a high esteem for justice is vital in order to manage civilization, we can see how significant the etymology of Prometheus was to their culture: the Greek pro meaning before, combined withmanthano meaning intelligence, forged together with the suffix-eus to create a symbolic meaning of forethinker orforesight. A few years later when we arrived at the crisis in action signified by the First Quarter square between Uranus in Aries with Jupiter in Cancer, we found ourselves in an extremely catalytic astrological atmosphere that also involved a First Quarter square between Pluto in Capricorn with Uranus in Aries.

In addition, Venus, Uranus, and the Sun were also conjunct Mars within an approximate orb of four degrees. Indeed, if we look at the Sabian Symbol for the North Node of the Moon, 17 degrees Scorpio, at the time of todays Solar Eclipse, we will see that we do indeed have this power of divine thought within us: Scorpio 17: A Woman, fecundated by her own spirit, is Great with child.. 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. 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. Have you had a nice conference? This idea of surrendering to the perhaps unconscious potential of the Self fits well with the current astrological time period and the acceleration of Aries energy occurring, having come after a time period with excessive astrological energy in Pisces. So what does all of this have to do with us today? Abattle ensues between the two opposing forces, which leads to a passing and adeath of the form of the situation. It carries with it the sense of the unending meeting places of interpersonal experience, convergences that are not blocked by a reactive or contracted ego (p. 30-31). This brings up the question, what is desire? Currently in 2016 we are in a Gibbous phase between Jupiter in Virgo and Uranus in Aries that also involves a Last Quarter square between Jupiter and Saturn in Sagittarius, a Full opposition between Jupiter in Virgo and Neptune in Pisces, and a Last quarter square between Neptune in Pisces and Saturn in Sagittarius. Going through a near death experience, or a ritualistic experience in which we believe we may die, helps us destroy our ego perspective that feels dependent upon society or the expectations of others to validate our authority, and helps us step into our own inner authority in an authentic manner without fear of judgment. (p.67-69), Carl Jung fromMan and His Symbols (1964). Using the number seven as a symbol for consciousness in these ways, we find that the number four is in the middle, and the number four stands for being heart-centered. Are you all awake and ready? The latent totatlity of the pine in the seed reacts to these circumstances by avoiding the stones and inclining toward the sun, with the result that the trees growth is shaped. Typically, these individuals have a superhuman complex that requires circumstantial restraint in order to realign the ego into a state of balance or equality with other individuals. While horoscopic astrology has been practiced for at least 2000 years, the techniques employed in Evolutionary Astrology . For example, if Jupiter is in a Crescent Phase to Uranus it would mean that you are bringing in a new vision this lifetime that will require you to foster support for persisting in the new vision so as to not be pulled back into the restrictions of the past. However, the basic pattern remains nonetheless. Through Jupiter and its archetype, the Soul gains a feeling of security through projecting beliefs upon Creation in order to compensate for lacking actual understanding. This would amplify the intensity of the transiting Jupiter and Uranus cycle for you, making your Jupiter under the influence of Uranus more dramatically than if Uranus was not in aspect to your natal Jupiter. The image of the Bull above in the ancient caves of Lascaux, France represents just how long the archetypal image of the Bull has been significant to humans- we are talking over 17,000 years ago most likely!

Mahakala destroys ignorance, confusion, and doubt, he is the Lord of Time and the Lord of Death,and to me is like Saturn in Scorpio in that he may seem intense and even wrathful, but in his intensity he purifies and protects. This can then lead to a crisis for the Soul, as the beliefs it has been following to gain a sense of security come into conflict with the deeply felt desires coming from within. Recently, I have felt compelled to read some of Jungs own original writing regarding archetypes and how he came to describe them. This sets up an indefensible position; we become like a fortress: a self within a mind within a body that is threatened from all sides. Dane RudhyarsAn Astrological Mandala works with the Sabian Symbols originally written about byMarc Edmund Jones, re-interpreting them as an American I-Ching in which there is a symbolic image and description for every one of the 360 degrees of the zodiac, considered as a cyclic and structured series which formalizes and reveals the archetypal meaning of 360 basic phases of human experience (Rudhyar, p.5). where the Will of God is known (p. 329-30). What do you value? The guiding hints or impulses come, not from the ego, but from the totality of the psyche: the Self. (1984). What would you do? Alan Okens Complete Astrology. This link between desire and re-incarnation is part of the answer to my question at the beginning of this article concerning the origins of our desires, and why we have them. But man certainly is able to participate consciously in his development. In contrast, the higher nature of Taurus mirrors the spiritual development of the Buddha away from attachment to matter and desire, into freedom from materialism, gaining the freedom to connect with Spirit. Rudhyar, Dane. . Todays eclipse correlating with greater awareness of spiritual forces is further shown through the Sabian Symbol of the Solar Eclipse at 20 degrees Taurus: Wisps of winglike clouds streaming across the sky, described by Dane Rudhyar as a sign that an individual who has taken a new step in his evolution should look for the Signature of divine Powers confirming his progress . What do you desire? 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. The basic form thereof is not changed by the Jupiterian action, even though its outer shape may be distorted or distended as it expands. 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. Dane Rudhyar, Uranus- Master of Transformations. Throughout this historical development, Jupiter has been associated with the principle of expansion and magnitude, providence and plenitude, liberality, elevation and ascendancy, and with the tendency to experience growth and progress, success, honor, good fortune, abundance, aggrandizement, prodigality, excess and inflation. Unrelated to astrology, in the community college class I teach recently students have been creating projects and writing exploring what they want to attract into their life, what their current purpose in life is, what they desire to have in their life, and what they value. So in this time of great Taurus energy, we can perhaps use our powerful sensory abilities to become more aware of our desires. These manifestations are what I call the archetypes. In contrast, if you are born with Jupiter in a Balsamic Phase to Uranus, it would be more about a great clearing occurring this lifetime regarding the myriad belief systems that have played significant roles in conditioning the manner in which your Soul projects beliefs. We do not know whether the pine tree is aware of its own growth, whether it enjoys and suffers the different vicissitudes that shape it. As a result, while Jupiter expands us, the contraction of Saturn in response tends to keep our growth confined to the current framework that for most has been heavily conditioned by surrounding culture. Whether we have planets in Aries or not, when we follow our instinctual inner drive to fulfill our desires, we begin to set off on our own personal path toward individuation, much like the Fool in the tarot. Jesus used his physical body to represent the ego of Man (the lamb) on the altar of sacrifice (the cross, representing the nature of the material world). Instead if we can develop a practice of mindfulness and awareness, the more we bring our attachments into awareness, the freer we become, not because we eliminate the attachments, but because we learn to identify more with awareness than with desire. Astrology is the study of the correlation between celestial movements and earthly events, and 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. Rudhyar gives this analysis of the first degree of Aries: This is the first of the 360 phases of a universal and multi-level cyclic process which aims at the actualization of a particular set of potentialities. Epstein, Mark. The symbol is A SYMBOLICAL BATTLE BETWEEN SWORDS and TORCHES,and according to Dane Rudhyar, suggests that salvation is attained through the emergent individuals readiness to face all issues as if there were only two opposed sides . 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). Uranus in Aries is strident in the face of restrictions, and so as obstacles arose as restraining influences on the vision emerging out of the new cycle between Jupiter and Uranus in the years that followed, we could have felt mental anguish, agony, or anger. In particular the following quote from theTao Te Ching translation by Stephen Mitchell (45), brings up for me the perspective we can gain from losing attachment to form so that we can truly use the form of our life in greater alignment with what is actually happening around us: As I am writing this, the Sun and all of the personal planets are in Taurus: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, and Venus is literally in the final culminating minutes of her most recent pass through Taurus.
