Plu\u00adto Oppos\u00ading Jupiter (Jan. 17, Jul. 8, Nov. 20)<\/strong><\/span>
In 2011 we face anoth\u00ader, per\u00adhaps our great\u00adest, chal\u00adlenge and oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty, the Oppo\u00adsi\u00adtion of Plu\u00adto to our Jupiter. Jupiter rules the prin\u00adci\u00adples, beliefs and laws of a nation. Venus is the val\u00adue \u201cbehind\u201d the law, but Jupiter is the law itself as well as oth\u00ader embod\u00adi\u00adments of what we have dis\u00adcov\u00adered to be \u201cTrue\u201d, as in Sci\u00adence, Phi\u00adlos\u00ado\u00adphy and Reli\u00adgion. Jupiter also rules how we relate to one anoth\u00ader and to the rest of the world. Essen\u00adtial\u00adly, Jupiter does this because it rules the beliefs we hold that deter\u00admine our atti\u00adtudes and actions towards one anoth\u00ader and the world.<\/p>\n

Plu\u00adto rules the pow\u00ader of trans\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtion, of death and rebirth and the great strug\u00adgle of pow\u00aders with one anoth\u00ader as they exer\u00adcise their will. The oppo\u00adsi\u00adtion of Plu\u00adto to Jupiter sig\u00adni\u00adfies a great moment in our his\u00adto\u00adry when we must make absolute\u00adly clear, (the oppo\u00adsi\u00adtion should be the moment of rev\u00ade\u00adla\u00adtion), what are the prin\u00adci\u00adples we under\u00adstand, stand upon and project out among our\u00adselves and into the world as a nation. To help us see how this might play out in 2011, let us look at Plu\u00adto\u2019s pre\u00advi\u00adous tran\u00adsits of our Jupiter.<\/p>\n

Plu\u00adto\u2019s pre\u00advi\u00adous align\u00adments to Jupiter<\/strong><\/p>\n

1827\u201329
<\/strong>The pre\u00advi\u00adous align\u00adments of Plu\u00adto with Jupiter may pro\u00advide us with some insight as to what is being demand\u00aded of us now. The first tran\u00adsit of Plu\u00adto to Jupiter was a square that last\u00aded from 1827 to 1829. Dur\u00ading this peri\u00adod a fun\u00adda\u00admen\u00adtal shift in the char\u00adac\u00adter of the Nation was expe\u00adri\u00adenced as exem\u00adpli\u00adfied by the begin\u00adning of the era of Andrew Jack\u00adson, which her\u00adald\u00aded the end of the so-called \u201cera of good feel\u00adings\u201d and the re-emer\u00adgence of par\u00adti\u00adsan pol\u00adi\u00adtics. This was in part the con\u00adse\u00adquence of the empow\u00ader\u00adment of the gen\u00ader\u00adal white\/male pop\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtion who now were giv\u00aden the right to vote direct\u00adly for the elec\u00adtors for pres\u00adi\u00addent. As a result, Jack\u00adson\u00adian pop\u00adulism stoked the fires of the bat\u00adtle lines that had been form\u00ading between the wealthy finan\u00adcial, mer\u00adchant and man\u00adu\u00adfac\u00adtur\u00ading inter\u00adests as against the vast agrar\u00adi\u00adan and labor\u00ading groups. An exam\u00adple of this, and one of Jack\u00adson\u2019s sig\u00adna\u00adture accom\u00adplish\u00adments, was to do away with the US<\/span> cen\u00adtral bank at that time, (sound famil\u00adiar Mr. Bernanke?), as he stood for the \u201ccom\u00admon man\u201d against the wealthy spe\u00adcial interests.<\/p>\n

1918\u201320
<\/strong>The next tran\u00adsit of Plu\u00adto to Jupiter was a con\u00adjunc\u00adtion from 1918 to 1920. Pres\u00adi\u00addent Woodrow Wilson\u2019s vision of what the world should be after the deba\u00adcle of World War I fell on deaf ears, both at home in Con\u00adgress, and with the world lead\u00aders who met at Ver\u00adsailles, France. Amer\u00adi\u00adcan ide\u00adal\u00adism, as embod\u00adied in Wilson\u2019s view of a new world order, the putting forth of our \u201ctruth\u201d (Jupiter), was reject\u00aded by the old guard in Europe and at home. Amer\u00adi\u00adca retreat\u00aded into itself and did not par\u00adtic\u00adi\u00adpate in the League of Nations, and, as a result, sowed, some would argue, the seeds for the next great World War.<\/p>\n

Inter\u00adnal\u00adly, the pro\u00adgres\u00adsive move\u00admen\u00adt\u2019s attempt to \u201creform\u201d Amer\u00adi\u00adca led to the enact\u00adment of moral\u00adi\u00adty by fiat as embod\u00adied in the 18th Amend\u00adment, (Prohibition).This led to the most fla\u00adgrant dis\u00adre\u00adgard of \u201claw\u201d since most Amer\u00adi\u00adcans ulti\u00admate\u00adly did not agree with that expres\u00adsion of social virtue (val\u00adue). Yet, at the same time, the forces of progress final\u00adly achieved the enfran\u00adchise\u00adment of the \u201coth\u00ader\u201d half of the US<\/span> pop\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtion with the pas\u00adsage of the 19th Amend\u00adment, (Wom\u00aden\u2019s right to vote).<\/p>\n

1973\u201374<\/strong>
The last tran\u00adsit of Plu\u00adto to Jupiter was a square from 1973\u20131974. As before, Plu\u00adto\u2019s trans\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtion\u00adal ener\u00adgies as well as its sig\u00adna\u00adture effect to bring about a great strug\u00adgle of wills played out in var\u00adi\u00adous spheres of Amer\u00adi\u00adcan life and with the World. Polit\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly this was exem\u00adpli\u00adfied by Water\u00adgate and the fall from pow\u00ader of a pres\u00adi\u00addent for the first time in our his\u00adto\u00adry. All three branch\u00ades of gov\u00adern\u00adment strug\u00adgled with what had been unleashed by a \u201csim\u00adple\u201d break-in at the head\u00adquar\u00adters of the Demo\u00adc\u00adra\u00adt\u00adic Par\u00adty in Wash\u00ading\u00adton, DC<\/span>. Social\u00adly, one of the most divi\u00adsive issues to this day was enact\u00aded into law in a Supreme Court deci\u00adsion that pro\u00adtects, as a pri\u00advate deci\u00adsion, a wom\u00adan\u2019s right to decide the ques\u00adtion of abortion.<\/p>\n

In inter\u00adna\u00adtion\u00adal mat\u00adters, seem\u00ading\u00adly, one could argue, as a some kind of karmic coun\u00adter\u00adpoint to the attempt by the US<\/span> to pro\u00admote and push its vision at Ver\u00adsailles in 1918\u201320, the strug\u00adgle in the Mid-East and the Arab-Israeli con\u00adflicts led to the Arab Oil embar\u00adgo, as OPEC<\/span> attempt\u00aded to force Amer\u00adi\u00adca and oth\u00ader West\u00adern pow\u00aders to yield to their point of view by chok\u00ading off the life-blood of what dri\u00adves the mod\u00adern world economy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

PRESENT<\/span>
2011 Plu\u00adto Oppo\u00adsi\u00adtion to Jupiter
<\/strong>So what is to be our oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty and chal\u00adlenge this year? What are we faced with as a nation inter\u00adnal\u00adly, and what is the nature of our coop\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion or strug\u00adgle with oth\u00ader will\u00adful mem\u00adbers of the world of nations? It seems that at each align\u00adment of Plu\u00adto with our Jupiter, we as a nation are chal\u00adlenged to relate to one anoth\u00ader with or through a new under\u00adstand\u00ading. Like\u00adwise, at each align\u00adment there seems to be a sim\u00adi\u00adlar demand to shift the man\u00adner in which we relate to the world around us.<\/p>\n

Inter\u00adnal\u00adly
<\/strong>With\u00adin our bor\u00adders, the fun\u00adda\u00admen\u00adtal ques\u00adtion of the bal\u00adance of pow\u00aders between the Fed\u00ader\u00adal gov\u00adern\u00adment and the States, a ques\u00adtion that has been put before us again and again, is cer\u00adtain\u00adly a key aspect of the strug\u00adgle over our prin\u00adci\u00adples now. As Venus rules our val\u00adues, Jupiter rules those val\u00adues in oper\u00ada\u00adtion, seen in our prin\u00adci\u00adples of con\u00adduct between one anoth\u00ader which we have cer\u00adti\u00adfied, agreed to and cod\u00adi\u00adfied into the Law of the land.<\/p>\n

Where\u00adas the Plu\u00adto oppo\u00adsi\u00adtion to Venus raised this ques\u00adtion in a per\u00adson\u00adal man\u00adner in 2009-10, (the strug\u00adgle over val\u00adues was per\u00adson\u00adal\u00adized in the crescen\u00addo of rhetoric that bor\u00addered on scream\u00ading \u201cFire\u201d in a crowd\u00aded the\u00adatre at times), Plu\u00adto oppos\u00ading Jupiter will now move these same ques\u00adtions to the stage of an argu\u00adment over prin\u00adci\u00adples, over \u201cthe truth\u201d, which will lead to a strug\u00adgle over our rules of con\u00adduct, over the law itself. Cer\u00adtain\u00adly, one exam\u00adple of this strug\u00adgle is the attempt to pro\u00advide some form of uni\u00adver\u00adsal med\u00adical cov\u00ader\u00adage for all Amer\u00adi\u00adcans, with the imme\u00addi\u00adate reac\u00adtion among a num\u00adber of states to chal\u00adlenge and seek to void that Fed\u00ader\u00adal statute. This con\u00adflict will ulti\u00admate\u00adly lead to a Supreme Court deci\u00adsion that will cer\u00adtain\u00adly please only part of the population.<\/p>\n

Echo\u00ading the Jack\u00adson\u00adian era, the calls to \u201creign in\u201d or \u201cdo away\u201d with the Fed\u00ader\u00adal Reserve Bank could shake the finan\u00adcial mar\u00adkets as new uncer\u00adtain\u00adties are added to the eco\u00adnom\u00adic order still recov\u00ader\u00ading from the shock of 2008-09. Yet the Fed\u00ader\u00adal Reserve chart seems to indi\u00adcate that it may have weath\u00adered that storm for now. This sto\u00adry seems more of con\u00adve\u00adnient dis\u00adtrac\u00adtion to turn atten\u00adtion away from a big\u00adger story.<\/p>\n

Veiled behind the front of pop\u00adulist fer\u00advor, pow\u00ader\u00adful cor\u00adpo\u00adra\u00adtions led by finan\u00adcial cap\u00adi\u00adtal seek to turn back any attempt to impose any sen\u00adsi\u00adble reg\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtion on \u201cthe mar\u00adket\u201d, whose fevered bub\u00adble burst\u00ading we have yet to recov\u00ader from. The calls to bring to \u201cJus\u00adtice\u201d (Jupiter) those who led us over the precipice have been met by the manip\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtion by the pow\u00ader\u00adful (Plu\u00adto) as we are all made to feel guilty (Plu\u00adto) since, \u201cwell, did\u00adn\u2019t we all behave badly?\u201d<\/p>\n

Will the oppo\u00adsi\u00adtion of Plu\u00adto to Jupiter smash through the \u201csmoke and mir\u00adrors\u201d and reveal the depths of deceit by those who have been entrust\u00aded to pre\u00adserve and pro\u00adtect our val\u00adues; or will Plu\u00adto\u2019s pow\u00ader to veil the truth by those who can and will manip\u00adu\u00adlate the sys\u00adtem lead us from this last cri\u00adsis into the next \u201cbig one\u201d in the not too dis\u00adtant future? This is one of the ques\u00adtions that must be addressed as the Unit\u00aded States strug\u00adgles to bal\u00adance Jupiter (Truth) and Plu\u00adto (Pow\u00ader). Truth is Pow\u00ader, but Pow\u00ader can cor\u00adrupt the truth. Which will it be?<\/p>\n

Exter\u00adnal\u00adly
<\/strong>Chal\u00adlenges from abroad may bring some of our inter\u00adnal strug\u00adgles into focus. Cer\u00adtain\u00adly, the pow\u00ader of the indi\u00advid\u00adual to chal\u00adlenge the larg\u00ader order, (by dig\u00adging into the secret depths (Plu\u00adto) of any sys\u00adtem), by expos\u00ading \u201cthe Truth\u201d (Jupiter), has played out this last year (and into this one) with the phe\u00adnom\u00ade\u00adnon known as Wik\u00adileaks. Although many of us have been made aware of the rev\u00ade\u00adla\u00adtions about Iraq and Afghanistan poli\u00adcies that were con\u00adtained in diplo\u00admat\u00adic and mil\u00adi\u00adtary doc\u00adu\u00adments, there are oth\u00ader rev\u00ade\u00adla\u00adtions that have been promised that expose malfea\u00adsance or cor\u00adrup\u00adtion in the eco\u00adnom\u00adic cen\u00adters of pow\u00ader. Per\u00adhaps this will not indi\u00adrect\u00adly expose some play\u00aders clos\u00ader to home.<\/p>\n

Where\u00adas in 1918\u201320 the the\u00adatre for will\u00adful strug\u00adgle played out between a ris\u00ading Amer\u00adi\u00adca and the old world of Euro\u00adpean pow\u00aders, and the 1973\u201374 bat\u00adtle of wills fea\u00adtured an Amer\u00adi\u00adca as a super\u00adpow\u00ader fac\u00ading its very real vul\u00adner\u00ada\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty over the con\u00adtrol of oil, it would appear that the \u201ctest of wills and prin\u00adci\u00adples\u201d in this peri\u00adod may fea\u00adture an Amer\u00adi\u00adca that has stum\u00adbled won\u00adder\u00ading how it might hold its own against a new pow\u00ader assert\u00ading itself in the East. We have become a debtor nation whose \u201ccon\u00adsumer\u201d soci\u00adety depends upon the will\u00ading\u00adness of our provider of goods to keep extend\u00ading us cred\u00adit. We wish to pro\u00admote our Truth (Jupiter), but there seems lit\u00adtle Pow\u00ader (Plu\u00adto) behind it. To many it seems our time for \u201cgreat\u00adness\u201d is past, and that we are in decline and that we do not under\u00adstand how or why this has happened.<\/p>\n

Our True Source of Strength and Val\u00adue<\/strong>
To begin to under\u00adstand, we must come back to the Natal or birth chart and remem\u00adber that Amer\u00adi\u00adca\u2019s great\u00adest strength, (with the two \u201cbenefics\u201d of Astrol\u00ado\u00adgy, Venus and Jupiter, Val\u00adues and Prin\u00adci\u00adples, in the 7th house of rela\u00adtion\u00adship), is to be found in our great gen\u00aderos\u00adi\u00adty of spir\u00adit towards one anoth\u00ader and the rest of the world. Our strength, our real wealth, lies in our con\u00adtin\u00adu\u00ading con\u00adtri\u00adbu\u00adtion to the evo\u00adlu\u00adtion of a greater spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal under\u00adstand\u00ading of the mys\u00adtery and pow\u00ader of freely formed rela\u00adtion\u00adships with one another.<\/p>\n

The dynam\u00adic, quick\u00aden\u00ading nature of these vol\u00adun\u00adtary rela\u00adtion\u00adships, the very spe\u00adcial \u201cfree\u201d asso\u00adci\u00ada\u00adtions that were observed by de Toc\u00adqueville in the 1830\u2019s in his \u201cDemoc\u00adra\u00adcy in Amer\u00adi\u00adca\u201d, have been a chal\u00adlenge for us through\u00adout our his\u00adto\u00adry. We seek to find a way to bal\u00adance the efforts to ful\u00adfill our selves as unique indi\u00advid\u00adu\u00adals, (to be \u201cfree\u201d), while, at the same time, we must hon\u00ador, sup\u00adport and sac\u00adri\u00adfice for one anoth\u00ader in those very asso\u00adci\u00ada\u00adtions we have with each oth\u00ader. To some who may believe in a form of \u201cabsolute lib\u00ader\u00adtar\u00adi\u00adan\u00adism\u201d, we must under\u00adstand that you can\u00adnot be alone to do what\u00adev\u00ader you want and be free. Free\u00addom is a social real\u00adi\u00adty that is cre\u00adat\u00aded through mutu\u00adal under\u00adstand\u00ading, tol\u00ader\u00adance and for\u00adgive\u00adness; it is found\u00aded upon the knowl\u00adedge that our true poten\u00adtials are dis\u00adcov\u00adered, expressed and extend\u00aded through our mutu\u00adal sup\u00adport of one another.<\/p>\n

Where two or more are gath\u00adered togeth\u00ader, acknowl\u00adedg\u00ading their unique\u00adness, yet seek\u00ading through their asso\u00adci\u00ada\u00adtion to devel\u00adop one anoth\u00ader in and through that relationship\u2026there is Free\u00addom. Not free\u00addom \u201cfrom\u201d some\u00adthing, but Free\u00addom \u201cto\u201d become what we will be. We are not human beings; we are tru\u00adly human becom\u00adings. We can become what we will become because we agree to turn to one anoth\u00ader and cre\u00adate the future\u2026together.<\/p>\n

Our Chal\u00adlenge Now
<\/strong>Plu\u00adto oppos\u00ading Jupiter asks noth\u00ading less of us than to under\u00adstand, tru\u00adly under\u00adstand and artic\u00adu\u00adlate, our shared root prin\u00adci\u00adples that we must now affirm and ask each of us to hon\u00ador and ful\u00adfill. Plu\u00adto will force this as we expe\u00adri\u00adence the exer\u00adcise (or mis-exer\u00adcise) of pow\u00ader either with\u00adin our coun\u00adtry, or between us and anoth\u00ader nation. This dra\u00adma will play out as a con\u00adfronta\u00adtion of Will or Pow\u00ader (Plu\u00adto) with Truth or Prin\u00adci\u00adples (Jupiter). It will appear \u201cout there\u201d, but the true strug\u00adgle and hope for us all rests upon each and every one of us to do the work with\u00adin ourselves.<\/p>\n

What each of us must do is look with\u00adin and find what values\/principles bind us one to anoth\u00ader; and seek, affirm and secure our foun\u00adda\u00adtions in one anoth\u00ader. Do not be dis\u00adtract\u00aded by the nois\u00ades out\u00adside; instead, lis\u00adten to your inner voice, which will always guide you to the real\u00adiza\u00adtion that you are nev\u00ader alone, and there is hope for a bet\u00adter world. That bet\u00adter world is found\u00aded upon our com\u00ading togeth\u00ader and under\u00adstand\u00ading that it is this illu\u00adsion that we are sep\u00ada\u00adrate from one anoth\u00ader, whether with\u00adin our nation or between our nation and the world, that has always been our self-limitation.<\/p>\n

The greater Truth is that we are all one in Spir\u00adit; we are sparks of the divine seek\u00ading to under\u00adstand our\u00adselves and our com\u00adpan\u00adions in this great jour\u00adney. As our found\u00ading fathers so elo\u00adquent\u00adly inscribed upon the Seal of the Unit\u00aded States, \u201cE pluribus unum\u201d\u2026 \u201cOut of many One\u201d.<\/p>\n
