They do not \u201ccause\u201d our devel\u00adop\u00adment but serve  to elic\u00adit, quick\u00aden and sup\u00adport our spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal unfold\u00adment and evo\u00adlu\u00adtion,  which would even\u00adtu\u00adal\u00adly unfold since all of \u201cThat\u201d, our poten\u00adtial to  become, is con\u00adtained with\u00adin our monadic self, but it would devel\u00adop at a  much slow\u00ader pace. They are tru\u00adly <em>Gifts of the Spir\u00adit<\/em>, lift\u00ading  us up upon that steep\u00ader, truer path of ful\u00adfill\u00adment. Uranus is said to  rule high\u00ader Mind, Nep\u00adtune to rule high\u00ader Love and Plu\u00adto to rule high\u00ader  Will. Togeth\u00ader they are said to rep\u00adre\u00adsent the 3 aspects of the Divine  work\u00ading in our world; The Mind, The Love and The Will of the Divine for  our Solar System.<\/p>\n<p>This is why the cycle align\u00adments of Uranus and Plu\u00adto gov\u00adern the  cre\u00adative, dynam\u00adic and cathar\u00adtic inter\u00adsec\u00adtions of Mind and Will. It is  Uranus\u2019 role to be the instru\u00adment for the release of new idea forms,  (Seed Ideas), that quick\u00aden the devel\u00adop\u00adment of thought in our world. At  its most basic, yet equal\u00adly most pro\u00adfound lev\u00adel, the entire\u00adty of  cre\u00adation can be seen as pure con\u00adscious\u00adness. That means that the  hier\u00adar\u00adchies of all forms of exis\u00adtence in this cos\u00admos, from the small\u00adest  to the great\u00adest, are the count\u00adless instances of the uni\u00adverse com\u00ading to  con\u00adscious\u00adly know itself (\u201cI am <span class=\"caps\">THAT<\/span>, I am!\u201d). But Mind alone is not&nbsp;all\u2026<\/p>\n<p>It is Plu\u00adto\u2019s role to be the instru\u00adment of form\u00ading the bound\u00adaries in  our Space, the spaces of Space with\u00adin which each Mon\u00adad unfolds and  devel\u00adops; Plu\u00adto rules the pow\u00ader of the Will which is the pow\u00ader to shape  and re-shape (or trans\u00adform) Space itself. From the high\u00adest to the  low\u00adest, each mon\u00adad, each spark of the Divine, unfolds and devel\u00adops  with\u00adin its space with\u00adin Space, yet each mon\u00adad will always be  fun\u00adda\u00admen\u00adtal\u00adly part of each and every oth\u00ader mon\u00adad because they have all  come from and con\u00adtin\u00adue their exis\u00adtence in and through the&nbsp;One.<\/p>\n<p>The pro\u00adgres\u00adsive devel\u00adop\u00adment of each and every mon\u00adad or spir\u00adit, from  the low\u00adest forms of exis\u00adtence to forms beyond our present capac\u00adi\u00adty to  com\u00adpre\u00adhend, requires the bend\u00ading and trans\u00adform\u00ading of the spaces of Space  for each mon\u00adad to devel\u00adop with\u00adin. This devel\u00adop\u00adment of Space, and of the  bound\u00adaries between each and every mon\u00adad\u2019s sacred space of self, is  gov\u00aderned by the&nbsp;Will.<\/p>\n<p>Plu\u00adto for us rules this for\u00adma\u00adtion and trans\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtion by the will; and  in this cycle with Uranus, Plu\u00adto reveals the trans\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtion\u00adal pow\u00ader of  the release of new ideas and new forms of think\u00ading upon exist\u00ading  struc\u00adtures or spaces.<\/p>\n<p>This is their dynam\u00adic inter\u00adplay: New ideas lead to new spaces and  rela\u00adtion\u00adships for spir\u00adit to devel\u00adop through; but those bound\u00aded spaces  even\u00adtu\u00adal\u00adly begin to prove lim\u00adit\u00ading to the fur\u00adther devel\u00adop\u00adment of spir\u00adit;  and so new idea forms are released to estab\u00adlish new for\u00adma\u00adtions of space  and rela\u00adtion\u00adships; and so all mon\u00adads, includ\u00ading us, can con\u00adtin\u00adue their  unfold\u00adment through Life-Consciousness-Spirit.<\/p>\n<p>So let us turn to the ques\u00adtion of our time, to see what has been  revealed and required by this cycle in the lat\u00adest series of align\u00adments  of Uranus and Plu\u00adto, and what might be in store for us in the next  sev\u00ader\u00adal&nbsp;years\u2026<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>The Uranus\/Pluto Cycle<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>To under\u00adstand what is before us we must remem\u00adber, remem\u00adber that we  have been mov\u00ading through a series of cycles, and turn\u00ading points with\u00adin  cycles, for a very long time indeed.

Much as in  their pre\u00advi\u00adous con\u00adjunc\u00adtions of 1710 in Leo and 1850\u201351 in Aries, this  encounter of Mind and Will brought about a trans\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtion of  thought-forms and spa\u00adtial rela\u00adtion\u00adships or bound\u00adaries. Cer\u00adtain\u00adly any\u00adone  present dur\u00ading the 1960\u2019s or look\u00ading back upon that peri\u00adod can note the  extra\u00ador\u00addi\u00adnary degree to which change erupt\u00aded across the planet.<\/p>\n<p>Uranus rul\u00ading Mind (as well as Inde\u00adpen\u00addence, Free\u00addom and  Inven\u00adtive\u00adness) when com\u00adbined with and cat\u00adalyzed by Plu\u00adto rul\u00ading Will (as  well as Trans\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtion, Con\u00adtrol and Rebirth) togeth\u00ader quick\u00adened  devel\u00adop\u00adments in our world in almost every are\u00adna. Tech\u00adno\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal advances  then gave birth to our wired world of today along with med\u00adical  dis\u00adcov\u00ader\u00adies that have now pushed us to the edge of the pow\u00ader to cre\u00adate  life itself. Per\u00adson\u00adal, social and glob\u00adal trans\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtions erupt\u00aded  through\u00adout the social sphere as waves of social progress were released  for Civ\u00adil Rights, Wom\u00aden\u2019s Rights, the Free Speech <span class=\"amp\">&amp;<\/span> Peace Move\u00adments  and many, many others.<\/p>\n<p>But the com\u00adbi\u00adna\u00adtion of Uranus and Plu\u00adto releas\u00ades ener\u00adgies which form  reac\u00adtions that are not uni\u00addi\u00adrec\u00adtion\u00adal; as much as new Ideas and new  Spaces emerge at such a time they do so with\u00adin, and often in reac\u00adtion  to, the exist\u00ading par\u00ada\u00addigms of thought and struc\u00adture. The emer\u00adgent spir\u00adit  of \u201cthe New\u201d chal\u00adlenges the entrenched spir\u00adit of \u201cthe old ways\u201d, and so  a strug\u00adgle is waged in all spheres. Whether the forces for change  bub\u00adble up from below, or are imposed from above, equal\u00adly the push back  or resis\u00adtance to change can come from either realm.<\/p>\n<p>As much as the new ideas cre\u00adate new spaces and new forms of  rela\u00adtion\u00adships, the old order will seek to exert its Free\u00addom (Uranus) and  use exist\u00ading pow\u00ader (Will\/Pluto) to resist and turn back the tides of  change. This too is part of the dynam\u00adic, spi\u00adral evo\u00adlu\u00adtion of Spir\u00adit,  part of the \u201cthe plan\u201d so to speak, for as much as there may be  tremen\u00addous gains in doing away with the \u201cold order\u201d, there is much that  would be lost and should be pre\u00adserved as well. And equal\u00adly, the mere  emer\u00adgence of new ways of think\u00ading does not in fact mean that it is  always \u201cbet\u00adter\u201d.

A wan\u00ading square is a  time for \u201cdecon\u00adstruc\u00adtion\u201d; it is a time for a cri\u00adsis of con\u00adscious\u00adness  that expos\u00ades the ideas that must be chal\u00adlenged, test\u00aded and tran\u00adscend\u00aded  so that bet\u00adter spaces for spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal growth may develop.<\/p>\n<p>This time we are expe\u00adri\u00adenc\u00ading a wax\u00ading square, so this is a cri\u00adsis of  for\u00adma\u00adtion, a time to make a choice about what to be cen\u00adtered upon, a  time to estab\u00adlish deep\u00ader, truer foun\u00adda\u00adtions\u2026 it is a time for action.

What is put before us, or bet\u00adter, what  we have put before our\u00adselves is a cross\u00adroads which demands that we  choose one path or anoth\u00ader.

By exam\u00adin\u00ading each plan\u00adet\u2019s func\u00adtion as focused  through the sign they are in will guide us to the deep\u00ader mean\u00ading of this  moment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Two Themes: &nbsp;Uranus in Aries <span class=\"amp\">&amp;<\/span> Plu\u00adto in Capricorn&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Uranus in&nbsp;Aries<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Uranus is squar\u00ading Plu\u00adto from the sign of Aries, so we must  under\u00adstand what the mes\u00adsage of Uranus in Aries means. The gen\u00ader\u00adal theme  for Uranus in Aries is that this is a time for the resur\u00adgence of  Indi\u00advid\u00adu\u00adal\u00adism, Ide\u00adal\u00adism and Inven\u00adtions. Uranus here acts a cat\u00ada\u00adlyst for  cre\u00adativ\u00adi\u00adty in the sci\u00adences, arts and social orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtions. Tru\u00adly it is a  time that we expe\u00adri\u00adence the re-emer\u00adgence of new forms of true  Lead\u00ader\u00adship as this time calls out for trail-blaz\u00aders in all walks of&nbsp;life.<\/p>\n<p>Though the past can\u00adnot be a per\u00adfect pre\u00addic\u00adtor of the future, it still  can pro\u00advide some out\u00adline as to the effects of this expe\u00adri\u00adence. The last  two times for Uranus in Aries were 1843\u20131851 and 1927\u20131935. In the  1840\u2019s the <span class=\"caps\">US<\/span> was trans\u00adformed as indi\u00advid\u00adu\u00adals and fam\u00adi\u00adlies joined  togeth\u00ader in a great pil\u00adgrim\u00adage across the coun\u00adtry to the Cal\u00adi\u00adfor\u00adnia and  Ore\u00adgon ter\u00adri\u00adto\u00adries, which was then great\u00adly stim\u00adu\u00adlat\u00aded by the gold rush  that began in 1848. The coun\u00adtry was being bound togeth\u00ader through the  pro\u00adlif\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion of rail\u00adroads and the inven\u00adtion of the tele\u00adgraph. The  feel\u00ading of a spe\u00adcial pur\u00adpose seized many with the claim of a \u201cMan\u00adi\u00adfest  Destiny\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In the late 1920\u2019s into the 30\u2019s Uranus in Aries accom\u00adpa\u00adnied the  dev\u00adas\u00adta\u00adtion wrought by the Great Depres\u00adsion; Uranus helped to bring to a  soci\u00adety and a cul\u00adture (that need\u00aded it) a whole range of inven\u00adtive  spirit\u00aded\u00adness, which led to rev\u00ado\u00adlu\u00adtions in tech\u00adnolo\u00adgies, indus\u00adtry and in  social orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtions and gov\u00adern\u00adment. Again, bold lead\u00ader\u00adship was need\u00aded  and rose to meet the challenge.<\/p>\n<p>For us now, we can and should hope that as Uranus moves through Aries  from 2010\u201319 that we too will wit\u00adness the present pauci\u00adty of lead\u00ader\u00adship  giv\u00ading way to true lead\u00aders who inspire us as our cri\u00adsis unfolds.  Cer\u00adtain\u00adly we have already seen numer\u00adous exam\u00adples of new forms of  leading\/organizing emerg\u00ading in this time. The dra\u00admat\u00adic evi\u00addence of the  inter\u00adsec\u00adtion of new forms of con\u00adnect\u00ading and the desire for greater  indi\u00advid\u00adual free\u00addoms have been made man\u00adi\u00adfest around the world, from  across the Mid\u00addle East, through Europe (includ\u00ading Rus\u00adsia now), and on to  Amer\u00adi\u00adca with the Tea Par\u00adty on one side and Occu\u00adpy Wall Street on the  oth\u00ader, and fur\u00adther on across to the rum\u00adblings now com\u00ading out of  China\u2026all across the globe there is a quick\u00aden\u00ading of the Spirit\u2026and  much of that we should know is because Uranus is again in Aries\u2026But of  course, there is some\u00adthing more, much more at work on us and in our  world at this&nbsp;time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Plu\u00adto in Capricorn<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Plu\u00adto is form\u00ading its square with Uranus from the sign of Capri\u00adcorn,  and so just as with Uranus we must seek to under\u00adstand the expe\u00adri\u00adence of  what Plu\u00adto in Capri\u00adcorn brings. Plu\u00adto rules the Will, the pow\u00ader to shape  and re-shape spaces, it rules the pow\u00ader of con\u00adtrol; it brings this  influ\u00adence to bear in Capri\u00adcorn by either serv\u00ading to main\u00adtain or  trans\u00adform the hier\u00adar\u00adchi\u00adcal worlds of cul\u00adture, soci\u00adety and institutions.<\/p>\n<p>It would seem by look\u00ading at the his\u00adtor\u00adi\u00adcal record that when\u00adev\u00ader Plu\u00adto  moves through Capri\u00adcorn there is a pro\u00adfound trans\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtion, a death and  a rebirth, of the cul\u00adtur\u00adal, eco\u00adnom\u00adic and polit\u00adi\u00adcal&nbsp;order.<\/p>\n<p>When Plu\u00adto moves through Capri\u00adcorn, which is about every 247 years or  so, the insti\u00adtu\u00adtions and hier\u00adar\u00adchies of a his\u00adtor\u00adi\u00adcal peri\u00adod have  reached a turn\u00ading point where their space and exer\u00adcise of pow\u00ader has  start\u00aded to fall apart, pri\u00admar\u00adi\u00adly because new spaces and new pow\u00aders are  emerg\u00ading. Often this end of an era and the birth of a new, this shift of  spir\u00adit, forces the old order, in the attempt to pre\u00adserve that sys\u00adtem,  to go to ever greater extremes in the exer\u00adcise of its power\u2026but  inevitably the emer\u00adgence of these new forms of orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtion and pow\u00ader  bring about its trans\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtion or demise.<\/p>\n<p>We can obtain some idea of the his\u00adtor\u00adi\u00adcal pow\u00ader of this pas\u00adsage by  look\u00ading back at the two most recent times Plu\u00adto was in Capri\u00adcorn,  1515\u20131532 and 1762\u20131778. In the ear\u00adly 1500\u2019s the Euro\u00adpean world was in  the throes of one of its most his\u00adtoric changes in over 1,000 years, the  one church, the Catholic Church, which had been weak\u00adened by scan\u00addal  inter\u00adnal\u00adly as much as it was chal\u00adlenged by the new\u00adly avail\u00adable print\u00aded  bible exter\u00adnal\u00adly, was bro\u00adken apart by the Ref\u00ador\u00adma\u00adtion. The attempt by  the Catholic King\u00addoms to main\u00adtain their pow\u00ader led to dev\u00adas\u00adtat\u00ading wars  between them and those who broke away to form Protes\u00adtant realms. The old  order, with its feu\u00addal sys\u00adtem based on land\u00aded pow\u00ader and the one  Catholic Church was giv\u00ading way to the rise of absolute mon\u00adarchs  accom\u00adpa\u00adnied by a new eco\u00adnom\u00adic order empow\u00ader\u00ading a grow\u00ading mer\u00adcan\u00adtile&nbsp;class.<\/p>\n<p>In the 1700\u2019s colo\u00adnial enter\u00adpris\u00ades of Eng\u00adland in Amer\u00adi\u00adca, the grow\u00ading  imbal\u00adances between gov\u00aderned and gov\u00ader\u00adnor were becom\u00ading increas\u00ading\u00adly  unten\u00adable. New forms of free asso\u00adci\u00ada\u00adtions were spread\u00ading in the New  World, seed\u00aded by new ideas about the nature of Pow\u00ader (Will) and Space  (New Lands) as well as a new, more dynam\u00adic eco\u00adnom\u00adic way of life. The old  order attempt\u00aded to rein\u00adforce its con\u00adtrol over the colonies which led to  protests, which led to fur\u00adther repres\u00adsion, and even greater protests  until a clash between Monar\u00adchy and indi\u00advid\u00adu\u00adals in free asso\u00adci\u00ada\u00adtions led  to the estab\u00adlish\u00adment of a tru\u00adly new form of gov\u00adern\u00adment that became the  mod\u00adel for our cul\u00adtur\u00adal, eco\u00adnom\u00adic and polit\u00adi\u00adcal world\u2026 and that mod\u00adel,  that arrange\u00adment of Pow\u00ader and Space is what is now com\u00ading to its&nbsp;end\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Three years ago, in 2008, Plu\u00adto began its next jour\u00adney through  Capri\u00adcorn and it will remain there now till 2024.

What we have are 3 major influ\u00adences that are  com\u00adbined and cat\u00adalyzed togeth\u00ader by the sec\u00adond of the three: 1) Uranus  in Aries which we have not expe\u00adri\u00adenced for 75 years, 2) The Uranus\/Pluto  wax\u00ading square which we have not expe\u00adri\u00adenced for 135 years and 3) (the  \u201cbig one\u201d) Plu\u00adto in Capri\u00adcorn which we have not expe\u00adri\u00adenced for 247&nbsp;years.<\/p>\n<p>As before the avatars of Mind (Uranus) and Will (Plu\u00adto), the car\u00adri\u00aders  of Seed Ideas and Sacred Space have come to a turn\u00ading point. As in  those pre\u00advi\u00adous eras with Plu\u00adto in Capri\u00adcorn, we find with\u00adin our\u00adselves  and in all sec\u00adtors of our cul\u00adture and soci\u00adety, that there exists an  over\u00adwhelm\u00ading sense that the world is not \u201cright\u201d. In realms both  Tem\u00adpo\u00adral and Sec\u00adu\u00adlar, the dis\u00adcon\u00adnec\u00adtion between elites and the gen\u00ader\u00adal  pop\u00adu\u00adlace has widened, and that the yawn\u00ading gulf between lead\u00aders and led  is grow\u00ading ever greater. In fact the feel\u00ading amongst many is that  lead\u00ader\u00adship, true lead\u00ader\u00adship has some\u00adhow \u201cleft the planet\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Whether with\u00adin any one coun\u00adtry or around the world, the inces\u00adsant,  increas\u00ading expe\u00adri\u00adence of dis\u00adap\u00adpoint\u00adment is felt by almost all\u2026that  every struc\u00adture, insti\u00adtu\u00adtion, stan\u00addard or val\u00adue has become com\u00adpro\u00admised;  whether that loss of cred\u00adi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty or virtue is encoun\u00adtered in Reli\u00adgion,  or Edu\u00adca\u00adtion, or Gov\u00adern\u00adment, or in the sim\u00adple promise of a bet\u00adter world  for one\u2019s chil\u00addren and their children\u2026all of it seems with\u00adout  hope\u2026and there is a great longing\u2026<\/p>\n<p>And so it is pre\u00adcise\u00adly in times such as this, when a great empti\u00adness  and loss of hope begins to take hold in the world\u2026it is pre\u00adcise\u00adly at  such a time that Spir\u00adit answers\u2026It moves into our emp\u00adty spaces and  trou\u00adbled minds\u2026It lifts up our hearts and awak\u00adens the spir\u00adit with\u00adin  and reminds us all that we can change\u2026and then, as if by \u201cmag\u00adic\u201d, we  do change and renew our world.
