Here is a clip of a radio inter­view from Feb­ru­ary 2011 where I talk about the role of Uranus, Nep­tune and Plu­to as the key to under­stand­ing our Spir­i­tu­al Unfoldment:

Uranus, Nep­tune and Pluto

I will also add this clip to my page of radio clips in the right col­umn of the blog.

I received the fol­low­ing query from a client and blog read­er. I thought it might be help­ful to share it:

Q: Not sure if I’m sup­posed to be “both­er­ing” you with emails, etc. so please let me know either way! But I want­ed to ask what’s “going on” these days….it seems like every­one is run­ning into obsta­cles left and right  — emo­tion­al over­loads, work issues, tech­nol­o­gy,  etc. In my layman’s terms: What’s bang­ing around up in the heavens?

A: There are no “big” exact align­ments right now, (that would be out­er plan­et to out­er plan­et). The clos­est would be on 10/3 when Mars will Square Jupiter, which is cer­tain­ly strong. But the Sun is com­ing into Libra on Sep­tem­ber 23, (that is the Fall equinox), and will line up with Uranus and then with Plu­to between 9/25 to 9/28, (with a New Moon on the 27th as well). That means they all are form­ing what is called a “T‑Square”, a very strong and stress­ful configuration.

More impor­tant­ly, this ser­i­al align­ment is “acti­vat­ing” the Uranus/Pluto square which is “The BIG” align­ment for 2012–2015. So in that sense it is giv­ing us a pre­view of that his­toric erup­tion of ener­gies, ener­gies we are already feel­ing and will be deal­ing with for some time to come, (and I will be repeat­ed­ly writ­ing and talk­ing about).

There is much to say about this his­toric event, but sim­ply put it is call­ing for a new adjustment/alignment between Individuality/Freedom and Order/Responsibility. The last major align­ment they had, the Con­junc­tion, was the major one of the 1960’s…remember the 60’s? Then you get the idea…but this time it is MORE intense because it is a square!

Prob­a­bly it is this that you and oth­ers are feel­ing, the com­ing of that T‑Square which trig­gers the Uranus/Pluto square.

Q: So basi­cal­ly the acti­va­tion of the Uranus/Pluto square will also be felt at a per­son­al lev­el; that is not just on the eco­nom­ic and polit­i­cal fronts? I think the gen­er­al feel­ing I have and oth­ers in my life is that we are NOT in control.

A: Well, of course, we all have lim­it­ed con­trol, always. It is just that the order of things, the real­i­ty we have been mov­ing through and count­ing on con­tin­u­ing, (though it was always chang­ing), is accel­er­at­ing its pace of change now. The par­a­digm is shift­ing and a new world is being born out of the ash­es of the old…but as it does many things become uncertain.

Which is why we need so much to be remind­ed now of the eter­nal truths. It is those truths that have always guid­ed us back upon the mid­dle path, the noble path of spir­i­tu­al truth. Hence my small con­tri­bu­tion as to why I start­ed the blog now…because there is so much need now for calm reas­sur­ance and reminders as to what is most important…

Q: Thank you Bill, and yes, that is exact­ly what I find in your blog, the calm reas­sur­ance and reminder of what is important!

Mars enters Leo for almost two months, till Novem­ber 11, that’s right till 11/11/11. He is slow­ing down now, and after enter­ing Vir­go Mars will turn ret­ro­grade in Jan­u­ary and stay in Vir­go till July 2012.

While in Can­cer your desires/actions turned towards secu­ri­ty, to mov­ing more inwards; you went div­ing down to secure and pro­tect your cen­ter, your home. But now Mars moves into Fire and you must move out again and release your new­found, new­ly cen­tered self into those self-affirm­ing/­self-exclaim­ing dis­plays of cre­ativ­i­ty, lead­er­ship and love.

You need to act now with more con­fi­dence and style; courage, bold­ness and brava­do, that’s the spirit…it’s time for the lion’s roar (and the roar of the crowd applaud­ing you), that is the expe­ri­ence you seek now. But it all depends on what you learned and secured while Mars was in Cancer…

If you found that truer self at your cen­ter, then as you cre­ate oth­ers will “see” that more authen­tic self in your cre­ation; if you lead, you will turn around and see that they are fol­low­ing you; and if you love uncon­di­tion­al­ly, then you will see it being returned to you by your beloved. But remem­ber, always, you get what you give…you reap what you sow…

You want above all now to have your moti­va­tions, desires, aims, inten­tions and actions, you want them all to be respect­ed by those around you…you want and need respect. There are only 2 require­ments: Do you hold your­self in such regard, do you have self-respect? And, do you accord the oth­ers in your life the same, do you treat them as ones of the One and so with that utmost respect that they deserve as well?

Recog­ni­tion, approval, acknowl­edge­ment and respect…these are the moti­va­tors of your life now (and always). But you must give if you are to receive, give to your­self and to those before you. Are you ready, are you ready to shine?

Time to Create…Time to Lead…Time to Love.…

It is time to Roar like a Lion!

Venus is hav­ing quite a week! Hav­ing just encoun­tered Uranus, an align­ment that revealed the deep­er, inte­gral real­i­ty of rela­tion­ship and free­dom, now it is Plu­to’s turn to shape your notions of val­ue, beau­ty and love.

Plu­to rules the Will; it is your willpow­er, your self-con­trol and the prin­ci­ple means by which you estab­lish the sacred space of you. That space, your bound­ed space, estab­lish­es you as a unique soul and so defines you as dis­tinct, spe­cial, indi­vid­ual, “a one”, sep­a­rate from any oth­er being or one.

Venus is what you val­ue, with­in and around your­self which is ulti­mate­ly the val­ue we move, live and exist in known as…Love. You have your space with your val­ues, as any oth­er has their space with their values…and togeth­er you cre­ate the shared space of “We” with your shared values.

In fact, it is those very shared val­ues that are the sub­stance of your rela­tion­ship with any other…it is ulti­mate­ly, of course, Love…the love that is shared. Plu­to brings in the les­son now of Will and Love, of bound­aries and shared space. You as a one must cre­ate your space, the sacred space of you, and you must also cre­ate the shared spaces of rela­tion­ship with the oth­ers in your life.

If you attempt this too will­ful­ly, if you use Plu­to (your will) so over­much that you impose your val­ues upon anoth­er, you then vio­late their spir­i­tu­al integrity…you Tres­pass. You may “have them” in this space, you have “con­trol” (but not love) and so cre­ate a space that is not sacred at all. You “win” but you lose, you dimin­ish your­self and the other…and Kar­ma will bring you back to right this wrong some day.

If you fail to estab­lish your space, if you fail to use Plu­to to cre­ate and main­tain your sacred space and bound­aries, then you may find that the oth­er impos­es their will and val­ues upon you. You do not par­tic­i­pate equal­ly in the cre­ation of the space of “we” and so, again, their Tres­pass brings about the loss of self, for them and you.

To get this right…ah that’s the goal! It is The Dream of all of the ones of the One…It is your des­tiny, it is your Jour­ney in Life-Con­scious-Spir­it. From an unself-con­scious spark of the Divine to a full blown Self-Con­scious Illu­mi­nat­ed One…Oh yes, you will be…That.

Of course, you have a long, long way to go…and, yet you have already come very far…No one can say how much longer you must jour­ney till you will get it right, but you will…and then you will walk on…

For you are one of the ones of the One…With Will and Love you are becom­ing the becoming…Always, now and forever…

…and always with Love.

It’s all about…Balance…To find your way, to walk the noble path, the path that takes you between the extremes of Hot/Cold, Dark/Light, Loud/Quiet, Soft/Hard…and I and Thou!

Venus, the plan­et of Beau­ty and Love, is danc­ing delight­ful­ly, hav­ing just arrived in her own sign of Libra, the sign devot­ed to rela­tion­ship. Uranus, the plan­et of Free­dom and Indi­vid­u­a­tion, is in Aries the sign which is oppo­site to Libra, the sign most devot­ed to self-affirmation.

The dilem­ma posed by Venus oppo­site Uranus now is: How do you bal­ance your need to be freer, to be your­self more tru­ly, with your need to adjust and accom­mo­date to each and every oth­er per­son in your life?

It would seem that the more you give to any oth­er in your rela­tion­ships, the less free­dom you have for your­self; and the more you assert your free­dom to be your­self, the less you will have to offer to your relationships.

But, of course, spir­i­tu­al­ly, this is not true at all. That spe­cious jux­ta­po­si­tion is a false dichoto­my between free­dom and rela­tion­ship. Actu­al­ly, truth­ful­ly, the issue is between healthy and less healthy forms of rela­tion­ship; the oppor­tu­ni­ty is offered here to see rela­tion­ship as it must tru­ly be.

If you believe that you are “per­fect­ly free” when you are per­fect­ly alone, then you are liv­ing in denial of the most fun­da­men­tal real­i­ty, that we all are ones of the One. In fact, you are not free at all when you assert this; you are just alone, plain and sim­ple, and there is no free­dom at all in that, (nor can it be, it is just your illusion).

Free­dom is a social expe­ri­ence that is found­ed upon the rela­tion­ship of two or more souls who under­stand, believe in and sup­port one anoth­er as they each attempt to become the becom­ing. Free­dom is the expe­ri­ence of each under­stand­ing who the oth­er is and cel­e­brat­ing “that”, encour­ag­ing “that”, and cre­at­ing a space for each of them to become more of “that”. True free­dom, Spir­i­tu­al Free­dom, is not free­dom “from” but free­dom “to be”, to be self-becom­ing, to become That.

Cel­e­brate this oppo­si­tion of Venus and Uranus which reminds you that your true self can only become by unfold­ing itself in a space with oth­ers. Free­dom through rela­tion­ship is Free­dom because it cel­e­brates your indi­vid­u­al­i­ty while it hon­ors the truth that you are one of the ones of The One.

You are the self-becom­ing, you are that…and you are nev­er alone.
