Unit\u00aded States \u2014 Which chart?<\/strong>
The analy\u00adsis of the Unit\u00aded States requires that we stip\u00adu\u00adlate first which chart we are using. I have found that Dane Rud\u00adh\u00adyar\u2019s ver\u00adsion of the Sib\u00adley chart works well for me. It is set for July 4, 1776 at 5:14 pm in Philadel\u00adphia, PA<\/span> and has 13\u00b0 of Sagit\u00adtar\u00adius ris\u00ading. I will not endeav\u00ador here to give a \u201cread\u00ading\u201d on the char\u00adac\u00adter and chal\u00adlenges of the Unit\u00aded States as revealed in this chart, per\u00adhaps I will do some\u00adthing like that in a post\u00ading lat\u00ader this year. Here I want to focus upon the rel\u00ade\u00advant tran\u00adsits that explain what the US<\/span> is faced with in the com\u00ading year (and beyond). Often, to help illus\u00adtrate that, we will look back at oth\u00ader sim\u00adi\u00adlar times and align\u00adments to give us some rel\u00ade\u00advant frames of reference.<\/p>\n

\"USA\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

Unit\u00aded States \u2014 2011 a look back first<\/strong>
An analy\u00adsis of what lies before the US<\/span> in this year imme\u00addi\u00adate\u00adly rais\u00ades the ques\u00adtion as to what have we just come through. After all, the expe\u00adri\u00adence of any enti\u00adty can\u00adnot be neat\u00adly divid\u00aded up by our notion of when a year begins and ends. More\u00adover, as many of you know, the align\u00adments in a chart may be in effect for much longer than one year as well. So, before we begin to look ahead we must look back. What have we just come through? What were we being asked as a nation to address? And, yes, what can we expect in the year ahead?<\/p>\n

(2009\u20132010) Plu\u00adto Oppos\u00ading Venus <\/strong>
Sev\u00ader\u00adal major tran\u00adsits were in effect for the Unit\u00aded States in 2010. One of these, Plu\u00adto in Oppo\u00adsi\u00adtion to Venus actu\u00adal\u00adly hap\u00adpened in 2009 and 2010. Plu\u00adto rules death and rebirth; it smash\u00ades apart what has out\u00adlived its time so that the rebuild\u00ading can take place. Venus rules val\u00adue, the notion of what is wor\u00adthy whether that be in terms of self-worth (or nation-worth) as well as out\u00adward phys\u00adi\u00adcal val\u00adues like in tan\u00adgi\u00adble assets. So, this align\u00adment of Plu\u00adto to Venus brought about a fun\u00adda\u00admen\u00adtal tear\u00ading down of the old assump\u00adtions about US<\/span> val\u00adue and our real val\u00adues as embod\u00adied in our prop\u00ader\u00adties and busi\u00adness\u00ades. More\u00adover, Plu\u00adto rules the will and pow\u00ader\u00adful forces arrayed for and against one anoth\u00ader. Plu\u00adto oppos\u00ading Venus indi\u00adcat\u00aded a great strug\u00adgle over ques\u00adtions about, and the nature of, what are the val\u00adues of Amer\u00adi\u00adca. Well this sounds famil\u00adiar does\u00adn\u2019t it? We cer\u00adtain\u00adly went through a re-eval\u00adu\u00ada\u00adtion or our phys\u00adi\u00adcal assets, (land, stocks, bonds, com\u00adpa\u00adnies), as well as strug\u00adgled over the def\u00adi\u00adn\u00adi\u00adtion of exact\u00adly what is to be most val\u00adued about America.<\/p>\n

The last time Plu\u00adto went over Amer\u00adi\u00adca\u2019s Venus was 1972\u201373. The term \u201cStagfla\u00adtion\u201d was coined to describe a coun\u00adtry bur\u00addened by debts from the Viet\u00adnam War, while at the same time the Arab Oil embar\u00adgo stoked the fires of unimag\u00adined infla\u00adtion. Mean\u00adwhile, in the polit\u00adi\u00adcal are\u00adna, there was an inci\u00addent called \u201cWater\u00adgate\u201d that shook the foun\u00adda\u00adtions of and threat\u00adened the bal\u00adance of pow\u00ader between the Exec\u00adu\u00adtive, Leg\u00adisla\u00adtive and Judi\u00adcial branches.<\/p>\n

And, so too in this time, there have been major eco\u00adnom\u00adic shocks, as well as calls for a fun\u00adda\u00admen\u00adtal rearrange\u00adment of the bal\u00adance of pow\u00ader between the states and the fed\u00ader\u00adal gov\u00adern\u00adment. Cycles repeat, but the sub\u00adstance of what our chal\u00adlenge is and the char\u00adac\u00adters that play across the stage of his\u00adto\u00adry change.<\/p>\n

(2009\u20132010) Sat\u00adurn Square Venus <\/strong>
While Plu\u00adto was oppos\u00ading Venus, Sat\u00adurn was at the same time Squar\u00ading Venus, (This was one of the Tran\u00adsits to Tran\u00adsits we looked at ear\u00adli\u00ader, of Sat\u00adurn Squar\u00ading Plu\u00adto, so that means what\u00adev\u00ader Plu\u00adto was affect\u00ading in any chart, so too would Sat\u00adurn). Sat\u00adurn last made this same square to Venus in 1980\u201381, a time of a severe down\u00adturn in the US<\/span> econ\u00ado\u00admy. With Venus rul\u00ading val\u00adue, beau\u00adty and love, the Unit\u00aded States was just not feel\u00ading very \u201clov\u00adable\u201d in 2009-10! Our sense of our worth, of our val\u00adue was dimin\u00adished. Real\u00adly, it was a time to reassess the whole ques\u00adtion of where does our val\u00adue as a nation come from, what do we have, what do we cre\u00adate, and how do we con\u00adsume val\u00adue? Cer\u00adtain\u00adly many, if not all of us, indi\u00advid\u00adu\u00adal\u00adly and as a whole, have had to reassess our val\u00adues at this time.<\/p>\n

2011<\/strong><\/span>
Uranus Squares Venus (Apr. 18, Oct. 7, Feb. 28, 2012)<\/strong>
Well this is a whole New Year indeed! Excite\u00adment and stim\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtion is acti\u00advat\u00ading the plan\u00adet of val\u00adue this year. It is frothy, dare we say bub\u00adbly, and the last time Uranus made this pass, 1927\u201328, it was a heady time.\u2026but we were head\u00ading for a fall that few could imag\u00adine then. Will his\u00adto\u00adry repeat itself, no\u2026 Nev\u00ader! But we have to watch out; we must look back to see what chal\u00adlenges were encoun\u00adtered and oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adties missed, and real\u00adize we will face new chal\u00adlenges and oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adties that are appro\u00adpri\u00adate to our moment in time.<\/p>\n

Last time<\/strong>
The late 20\u2019s were a time of inven\u00adtive\u00adness and social exper\u00adi\u00admen\u00adta\u00adtion. Bound\u00adaries were being bro\u00adken, records were being set. Our imag\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtive bound\u00adaries were blown out\u00adward by the courage dis\u00adplayed, (and tech\u00adnol\u00ado\u00adgy used), in \u201cThe Spir\u00adit of St. Louis\u201d, as Lind\u00adbergh con\u00adnect\u00aded the new and old worlds. There was an influ\u00adence that was ener\u00adgiz\u00ading new rela\u00adtion\u00adships both between one anoth\u00ader, and in our nation\u2019s rela\u00adtion\u00adships with oth\u00ader nations. Amer\u00adi\u00adca was seen as the most \u201cpros\u00adper\u00adous\u201d of nations, we were the ris\u00ading star in the world and the way ahead looked glo\u00adri\u00adous. What we failed to see, what we failed to con\u00adfront, was that the very nature of what we con\u00adsid\u00adered to be valu\u00adable, how we made and mea\u00adsured val\u00adue, was in des\u00adper\u00adate need of trans\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtion. The oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty was there and was missed and so we fell back\u2026<\/p>\n

2011 The US<\/span> and Venus\/Uranus, Our val\u00adue and pur\u00adpose.
<\/strong>In 2011 we face a sim\u00adi\u00adlar chal\u00adlenge and oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty. The chal\u00adlenge with Venus and Uranus is met when we raise to a new lev\u00adel our expe\u00adri\u00adence of val\u00adue in our rela\u00adtion\u00adships with one anoth\u00ader, and with the world. The US<\/span> has its Venus, (and Jupiter and Sun), in the 7th house, the house of rela\u00adtion\u00adship. Our val\u00adues and self-worth (Venus), our prin\u00adci\u00adples, gen\u00aderos\u00adi\u00adty and good for\u00adtune (Jupiter) and our very being and pur\u00adpose (Sun), is revealed, real\u00adized and shared by the nature and qual\u00adi\u00adty of our rela\u00adtion\u00adships to one anoth\u00ader and with the world.<\/p>\n

A New Order<\/strong>
The found\u00ading fathers hint\u00aded at this, (and much more), when they put forth as the mot\u00adto of our coun\u00adtry, and which is inscribed on the Great Seal of The Unit\u00aded States, \u201cNovus Ordo Seclo\u00adrum\u201d which means \u201cA New Order for the Cen\u00adturies\u201d. They under\u00adstood that what they were cre\u00adat\u00ading was some\u00adthing new, some\u00adthing hereto\u00adfore unfa\u00admil\u00adiar because it rep\u00adre\u00adsent\u00aded a break with the past. Here, in this nation, we would come togeth\u00ader and freely deter\u00admine our rela\u00adtion\u00adships with one anoth\u00ader. We would sur\u00adren\u00adder all title and priv\u00adi\u00adleges, and stand as equals to one anoth\u00ader and be sub\u00adject to no King, or Prince, or Clan or Class, but to what we had all agreed upon as our com\u00adpact with one anoth\u00ader. This sacred com\u00adpact is sealed and pro\u00adtect\u00aded by the one and only true ruler in Amer\u00adi\u00adca, the Rule of Law, (which is why the US<\/span> has Sat\u00adurn (order), in Libra (scales of jus\u00adtice) in our 10th house (author\u00adi\u00adty). In the Unit\u00aded States, the law is King, no one is above the law.<\/p>\n

Embod\u00adied in our \u201cLaw\u201d are the val\u00adues that we have so far evolved to in our con\u00adduct with one anoth\u00ader. Those val\u00adues are made into rules which we have agreed upon, so that we know how we are expect\u00aded to con\u00adduct our\u00adselves with regard to one anoth\u00ader. In oth\u00ader words, we have estab\u00adlished these laws as the crys\u00adtal\u00adlized form of val\u00adues with and between one another.<\/p>\n

But unlike some, who believe that those orig\u00adi\u00adnal laws, our first rules, the Con\u00adsti\u00adtu\u00adtion, to be a fin\u00adished piece and not to be altered, most of us find that the sto\u00adry of human ful\u00adfill\u00adment is an unfold\u00ading one that is far from over. And, so, we must keep improv\u00ading upon and adding to our val\u00adues and our rules. The Found\u00ading Fathers knew this work was not fin\u00adished or done with them. They sought to go beyond what had been, yet they could not reach or agree beyond a cer\u00adtain under\u00adstand\u00ading. They strug\u00adgled over issues and did not over\u00adcome some of their own chal\u00adlenges, and so left it to oth\u00ader gen\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtions to face the glar\u00ading injus\u00adtices embod\u00adied in our first set of \u201crules\u201d. How could it be otherwise?<\/p>\n

Our Chal\u00adlenge, Our Oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty
<\/strong>In 2011 the chal\u00adlenge we face is to exam\u00adine to what extent we are ready, will\u00ading and able to ful\u00adfill and incor\u00adpo\u00adrate the mes\u00adsage of Uranus into Venus. Uranus in Aries is shap\u00ading our Venus in Can\u00adcer by chal\u00adleng\u00ading us to con\u00adduct our\u00adselves at the next nec\u00ades\u00adsary lev\u00adel of indi\u00advid\u00adual ful\u00adfill\u00adment and social inte\u00adgra\u00adtion. There are always forces, (and dis\u00adtrac\u00adtions), pulling us apart and draw\u00ading us together.<\/p>\n

Venus in Can\u00adcer speaks from the Truth that we must hon\u00ador where we have come from; we must remain and find val\u00adue in our com\u00admon her\u00aditage and so secure and bind our\u00adselves one to anoth\u00ader. Uranus in Aries is chal\u00adleng\u00ading Venus as to exact\u00adly what con\u00adsti\u00adtutes \u201croots\u201d or \u201cher\u00aditage\u201d or \u201csecu\u00adri\u00adty\u201d.<\/p>\n

There is a con\u00adstant ten\u00adsion between our nation\u2019s desire to return to a sim\u00adpler time, to our root val\u00adues (Venus), and the inces\u00adsant force of spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal (and tech\u00adni\u00adcal) advance\u00adment dri\u00adving us for\u00adward into new expres\u00adsions of val\u00adue (Uranus). The answer is to be found in hon\u00ador\u00ading the spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal essence of our roots, our com\u00admon her\u00aditage and val\u00adue that binds us one to anoth\u00ader, (but not being bound to the mere let\u00adter or the law or form of that val\u00adue), while at the same time inte\u00adgrat\u00ading into those val\u00adues a new under\u00adstand\u00ading of the mes\u00adsage of Uranus in Aries which hon\u00adors, affirms and asserts the essen\u00adtial dig\u00adni\u00adty of the indi\u00advid\u00adual with\u00adin the group order, (with\u00adout going so far in assert\u00ading \u201cindi\u00advid\u00adu\u00adal\u00adism\u201d that we break our social con\u00adtract with one another).<\/p>\n

Of course, to many who have seen the abus\u00ades of pow\u00ader, and the manip\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtion of the law to serve the pow\u00ader\u00adful and not defend the weak\u00adest of us, to many the hope that we can restore let alone move for\u00adward the dream of Amer\u00adi\u00adca and its essen\u00adtial val\u00adue or worth seems dis\u00adtant at best. Just as in the late 1920\u2019s, we too now find our\u00adselves at a moment in his\u00adto\u00adry where the great\u00adest inequities exist in the dis\u00adtri\u00adb\u00adu\u00adtion of the wealth in Amer\u00adi\u00adca, a val\u00adue that we all have cre\u00adat\u00aded with and through one another.<\/p>\n

Nature, (and Spir\u00adit), move what\u00adev\u00ader ordered sys\u00adtem from a state of imbal\u00adance to bal\u00adance. It seems most sys\u00adtems have \u201cmech\u00ada\u00adnisms\u201d inte\u00adgral to their nature that bring about a re-bal\u00adanc\u00ading even\u00adtu\u00adal\u00adly. In our social order we must find our way back to \u201cnor\u00admal\u201d by being coura\u00adgeous enough to face what we have wrought and bring us back and for\u00adward to a bet\u00adter world, before the forces in and around us bring about a more painful, because \u201cforced\u201d, adjustment.<\/p>\n

Time to Act
<\/strong>We have a choice.\u2026but not for long. For there are more align\u00adments hap\u00adpen\u00ading in the world gen\u00ader\u00adal\u00adly, (those Tran\u00adsits to Tran\u00adsits) and to our coun\u00adtry specif\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly (Tran\u00adsits to Natal), that are to meet us this year and in the next many years to come. We have a des\u00adtiny, but we must under\u00adstand, decide and act as those brave men (and women) act\u00aded in their hour of deci\u00adsion in 1776.<\/p>\n

First, we must face what is here before us now; there is more that we must under\u00adstand about the forces bring\u00ading about the changes we will grow through in 2011. So let us turn our atten\u00adtion to the great\u00adest of these in the next post\u00ading, the align\u00adment of Plu\u00adto with Jupiter. Then we will look at some oth\u00ader less\u00ader, though no less impor\u00adtant, align\u00adments for 2011.<\/p>\n
