To Freer Minds…and Sacred Spaces

This align­ment re-illu­mi­nates, elic­its and is the con­sum­ma­tion (for now) of
the Uranus square Plu­to on Sep­tem­ber 19 and the Mer­cury align­ment to
Uranus/Pluto on Sep­tem­ber 20. As it coin­cides with the Full Moon
tonight, it is par­tic­u­lar­ly aus­pi­cious, beautiful…and potent. 

But of course you need to know, what does it mean for you?

The Sun is in Libra now, oppo­site to Uranus in Aries and square to Pluto
in Capri­corn. Those are three of the four signs that open each sea­son and form
what is called the “Car­di­nal Cross”. These Gate­way signs are about
your unfolding/evolving expe­ri­ence of your con­scious­ness and iden­ti­ty. Aries is
your Pres­ence, your pre­sen­ta­tion of “you”, your Per­sona. Libra is
your Rela­tion­ship, your expe­ri­ence of you in and through the oth­er, your
Part­ner. Capri­corn is your Respon­si­bil­i­ty, your expe­ri­ence of your “Flow­er­ing”
as you ful­fill your des­tiny in the world around you, your Duty. Can­cer is your
Foun­da­tion, your expe­ri­ence of secu­ri­ty through hon­or­ing the roots of your life,
your Cen­ter. These four realms are your expe­ri­ence of ori­en­ta­tion in time and
space, the fun­da­men­tal four-part ques­tion of life: “Who am I, Who are You,
Where do I come From, Where am I going?”

The on-going align­ment of Uranus in Aries to Plu­to in Capri­corn is bringing
about a World­wide or Glob­al “Iden­ti­ty Event” (or some would say
“Cri­sis”). There is great oppor­tu­ni­ty at moments like this, a por­tal has
opened to greater Spir­i­tu­al Awak­en­ing and participation…and, of course, there
is dan­ger too. The oppor­tu­ni­ty comes from meet­ing the chal­lenge thrown down by
these Lords of Trans­for­ma­tion so that you expe­ri­ence a Quick­en­ing of Spir­it, so
that you move that much fur­ther (and faster) along your path of des­tiny. The
dan­ger (always, always) comes from fear, from you hold­ing back, from a retreat
into the old pat­terns that will no longer meet the needs of the present let
alone for your future…

Let’s take a look at this dou­ble alignment.…

What does the Sun oppo­site to Uranus ask of you? The Sun is your pure
poten­tial, your ever-unfold­ing becoming…Your “being­ness in waiting”
that has moved out upon the “waters” and made itself man­i­fest into
var­i­ous forms of self-real­iza­tion: per­son­al and social, fam­i­ly and career…you
have made for your­self forms of man­i­fes­ta­tion that ful­fill you…but by being
def­i­nite they lim­it you too. 

Uranus is sug­gest­ing, pulling even demand­ing that you look within
your­self again at your poten­tial, and then cast your gaze upon what you have
wrought and asks quite sim­ply, “Is this you? Are you being the you that is
most true to what you now know of your­self?” Uranus reminds you that you
must con­tin­u­ous­ly seek to be open to new ideas and forms of self-realization
because both you and your world are chang­ing, becom­ing some­thing more than you
or it were…and so you must free your­self from what for­mer­ly ful­filled but now
would deny the greater you that you can become.

The Sun in Libra holds now to the prin­ci­ple of relat­ed­ness, that the
con­cern for the well-being of the part­ner and even more of that
“thing” between the self and the oth­er, the rela­tion­ship, must come
first now. But Uranus reminds you that for this to tru­ly work each par­ty to the
rela­tion­ship must be true to them­selves as well as accord that free­dom of
self-real­iza­tion to the oth­er too. For in that way your rela­tion­ship may
con­tin­ue to become that sacred space of mutu­al self-ful­fill­ment in and through
one another…For tru­ly Spir­i­tu­al rela­tion­ships can only be found­ed with­in a space of Free­dom wherein
both can be free to be them­selves in and through your relationship. 

Mean­while Plu­to brings anoth­er shap­ing force to bear. The Lord of Will
and Bound­aries reminds you that the jour­ney of self-unfold­ment takes place within
an ever-expand­ing realm of sacred spaces of self-real­iza­tion for each and every
con­scious­ness. The Sun in Libra lives for and extols the virtue and necessity
of build­ing the shared sacred spaces you call “We”…But this might
make one over-eager to form a rela­tion­ship, or to attempt to make it “work”
(work for who?). 

But to cre­ate those shared sacred spaces you must have first come from
your own well-wrought per­son­al sacred space where Respon­si­bil­i­ty and Duty pre­vail, where you
stand and ful­fill your­self with­in a hier­ar­chy of many rela­tion­ships that you
have cre­at­ed will­ing­ly with one another. 

The pow­er of the Will, to create
sacred Space must be exer­cised with the great­est care…you can­not force
anoth­er into rela­tion­ship, you can­not make any­one like or love you…for if you
do this you are tres­pass­ing upon the sacred space of anoth­er, and this is not
sacred at all, this is not love
what­so­ev­er. This is just fear and your only path for­ward is to real­ize that all you need is to employ your will so as to exer­cise Self-Control.

Uranus and Plu­to are pulling and push­ing upon the Sun in Libra…

And you find your­self faced with your own “Iden­ti­ty Crisis”…

You are remind­ed that your jour­ney through rela­tion­ship requires that
you…

Ever open your mind to a Greater Understanding…

So that you can co-cre­ate your shared Sacred Spaces.

There you will expe­ri­ence the great­est of mysteries…

Where I and Thou…becomes the We.
