Part 2 \u2013 Where<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Astro\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly, 2018 will be like many years. We will have three peri\u00adods of Mer\u00adcury in Ret\u00adro\u00adgrade, (March 22\u2014April 15, July 25\u2014August 18, Novem\u00adber 16\u2014December 6), and Mars will turn Ret\u00adro\u00adgrade too, (June 26\u2014August 27). There will be New Moons and Full Moons and many of the oth\u00ader typ\u00adi\u00adcal phe\u00adnom\u00ade\u00adna that form the warp and weave of Ener\u00adgy-Forms that thrill through your world year after year.<\/p>\n

But there are some sig\u00adnif\u00adi\u00adcant changes com\u00ading to you in 2018. As the last year end\u00aded, Sat\u00adurn entered Capri\u00adcorn, (until Decem\u00adber 2020). And, anoth\u00ader major Sign shift lies ahead in 2018; Uranus will enter Tau\u00adrus in May and remain there until 2026. We are mov\u00ading into a new mod\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtion of ener\u00adgies, (both plan\u00ade\u00adtary moves will shift the bal\u00adance of ener\u00adgy, from Fire Signs to Earth Signs), and the dom\u00adi\u00adnant sen\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adties and themes in your life will change accordingly.<\/p>\n

These two Sign shifts will com\u00adbine with a crit\u00adi\u00adcal phase in anoth\u00ader plan\u00ade\u00adtary pair\u00ading of out\u00ader plan\u00adets, (Uranus Semi\u00adsquare Nep\u00adtune). This Plan\u00ade\u00adtary Pair artic\u00adu\u00adlates the ever-shift\u00ading inte\u00adgral evo\u00adlu\u00adtion and bal\u00adance between Indi\u00advid\u00adu\u00adal\u00adiz\u00ading Ener\u00adgies (Uranus), and Com\u00admu\u00adnal\u00adiz\u00ading Ener\u00adgies (Nep\u00adtune). It is here, through these star\u00adry Avatars, it is here you will see play out our Spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal Jour\u00adney in the weaving\/warping of our Greater Aware\u00adness; it is here that the sto\u00adry of your awak\u00aden\u00ading will unfold in the dynam\u00adic inter\u00adplay (and often\u00adtimes strug\u00adgle) between Mind and Intu\u00adition, between Rea\u00adson and Faith, between Sci\u00adence and Religion.<\/p>\n

Yes, what lies ahead for you is quite a \u201cseis\u00admic shift\u201d in The Cir\u00adcle of the Liv\u00ading Ones, (The Zodi\u00adac), that form and inform your life here on Earth. The Winds of Spir\u00adit are blow\u00ading now, the Plan\u00ade\u00adtary Tides are sweep\u00ading away the old, as they bring glad tid\u00adings of a New Age to you and your world.<\/p>\n

Sat\u00adurn in Capri\u00adcorn \u2013 The Test of Responsibility<\/strong>
\nI have already writ\u00adten a piece on this shift of Sat\u00adurn into Capri\u00adcorn, and I would refer you to that blog entry for a deep\u00ader analy\u00adsis of this most impor\u00adtant pas\u00adsage here: Sat\u00adurn in Capri\u00adcorn<\/a><\/strong><\/em>. But I did not then note the sig\u00adnif\u00adi\u00adcance of Sat\u00adurn (or any plan\u00adet) mov\u00ading from a Fire Sign into an Earth Sign. Where\u00adas you are to expe\u00adri\u00adence the Ideals and Inspi\u00adra\u00adtions of Spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal Truths when plan\u00adets move through Fire Signs, it is in the ele\u00adment of Earth that you bring these Shin\u00ading Truths into the man\u00adi\u00adfest\u00aded forms of your world. As Sat\u00adurn now, (and Uranus soon), move into Earth, it is time to make real what you know and hold to be dear and true; for after all that is thought, writ\u00adten and spo\u00adken, you are here to be this Truth, you are here to make the Dream of Spir\u00adit shine in all that you make and do.<\/p>\n

But from a more Mun\u00addane or World\u00adly per\u00adspec\u00adtive, Sat\u00adurn in Capri\u00adcorn has been asso\u00adci\u00adat\u00aded with chal\u00adleng\u00ading peri\u00adods in US<\/span> His\u00adto\u00adry, (this is prob\u00ada\u00adbly because the USA<\/span> is a Can\u00adcer, the oppo\u00adsite Sign to Capri\u00adcorn), and more espe\u00adcial\u00adly because both Venus and Jupiter, the less\u00ader and greater benefics, are in Can\u00adcer too. The last three times Sat\u00adurn went through Capri\u00adcorn, (1988\u201391, 1959\u20131962 and 1929\u201332), the USA<\/span> expe\u00adri\u00adenced eco\u00adnom\u00adic and finan\u00adcial chal\u00adlenges. Reces\u00adsions and worse led to cul\u00adtur\u00adal and polit\u00adi\u00adcal upheavals, remind\u00ading us once again that what dri\u00adves all mar\u00adkets is the one thing com\u00admon to all of them, human nature. Though many fac\u00adtors must be inte\u00adgrat\u00aded to under\u00adstand the ups and downs of eco\u00adnom\u00adic life, it all comes down to Faith and Fear. Now the past is no cer\u00adtain indi\u00adca\u00adtor of our future, pat\u00adterns nev\u00ader repeat exact\u00adly, but they do car\u00adry remark\u00adable res\u00ado\u00adnances, and so it would be wise or pru\u00addent to pre\u00adpare for some chal\u00adleng\u00ading times ahead.<\/p>\n

Uranus in Tau\u00adrus \u2013 Trans\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtion of Value<\/strong>
\nUranus in Tau\u00adrus, (2018\u20132026) will bring star\u00adtling trans\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtions to the realm of Val\u00adues. The pre\u00advi\u00adous times for Uranus in Tau\u00adrus were 1935\u20131942, 1851\u201359 and 1768\u201375. Those peri\u00adods were char\u00adac\u00adter\u00adized by upheavals and rapid changes in Soci\u00adety and Cul\u00adture, and brought about new order\u00adings of Eco\u00adnom\u00adic and Polit\u00adi\u00adcal struc\u00adtures. These Uran\u00adian shocks and turn\u00adings break old iden\u00adti\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtions, lead\u00ading to rev\u00ado\u00adlu\u00adtion\u00adary break\u00adthroughs in Ideas and Tech\u00adnol\u00ado\u00adgy, in Soci\u00adety and Cul\u00adture. Uranus leads us beyond our self-cre\u00adat\u00aded Sat\u00adurn\u00adian bound\u00adaries, and in Tau\u00adrus it cre\u00adates a new Fab\u00adric of Mean\u00ading. Uranus in Tau\u00adrus will ush\u00ader in a new Val\u00adue Hier\u00adar\u00adchy, and a so new kind of Human too. The self-lim\u00adit\u00ading attach\u00adments to out\u00adworn ways and val\u00adues are bro\u00adken, and a new way of being emerges.<\/p>\n

Uranus &<\/span> Nep\u00adtune \u2013 Indi\u00advid\u00adu\u00adal\u00adi\u00adty vs Community
\n<\/strong>The more con\u00adse\u00adquen\u00adtial (yet more hid\u00adden or obscure) ener\u00adgy-form of 2018 is the next sig\u00adnif\u00adi\u00adcant cycle moment in the rela\u00adtion\u00adship between Uranus and Nep\u00adtune. The inter\u00adplay of Uranus and Nep\u00adtune artic\u00adu\u00adlate the dynam\u00adic and inte\u00adgral devel\u00adop\u00adment of Indi\u00advid\u00adu\u00adal\u00adi\u00adty ver\u00adsus Com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adty. Their rela\u00adtion\u00adship inspires our spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal jour\u00adney and reminds us to hold togeth\u00ader the devel\u00adop\u00adment of ever Freer Minds with a com\u00admen\u00adsu\u00adrate deep\u00aden\u00ading of our Uncon\u00addi\u00adtion\u00adal Love. Their cycle from Con\u00adjunc\u00adtion to Con\u00adjunc\u00adtion is about 170 years and the last one hap\u00adpened in 1993. The most recent pre\u00advi\u00adous con\u00adjunc\u00adtions were 1821 and 1650, and each time a new order\u00ading of the inte\u00adgral rela\u00adtion\u00adship between the Indi\u00advid\u00adual and their Com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adty was articulated.<\/p>\n

When either of these ener\u00adgy-forms becomes imbal\u00adanced with the oth\u00ader, we either move towards extreme forms of inde\u00adpen\u00addence, (and break our bonds of fel\u00adlow\u00adship), or we bind our\u00adselves into indi\u00advid\u00adu\u00adal\u00adi\u00adty-deny\u00ading forms of com\u00admu\u00adnal\u00adism, (and break the integri\u00adty of each mem\u00adber of the group). There is a need for Life, for Spir\u00adit to find itself by being One and True, but it also can only do this by being part of some\u00adthing greater, of belong\u00ading and being formed by some\u00adthing larg\u00ader too. We all want to be One of a Kind; but we also can only find our Mean\u00adings and Val\u00adues by being part of some Kind.<\/p>\n

The release of a new order\u00ading of these two prin\u00adci\u00adples in 1993 has now reached a crit\u00adi\u00adcal moment, (the sim\u00adi\u00adlar peri\u00adod before was 1845\u201347). Clear\u00adly, through\u00adout the world the ten\u00adsion between Free\u00addom and Com\u00admu\u00adnal life-ways is rip\u00adping cul\u00adtures into ever more frag\u00adment\u00aded sub-cul\u00adtures and group\u00adings; the Cen\u00adtripetal force of Free\u00addom has become severe\u00adly unbal\u00adanced in its inte\u00adgral rela\u00adtion\u00adship with the Cen\u00adtrifu\u00adgal force of Love. Each is seem\u00ading\u00adly devolv\u00ading into a warped ver\u00adsion of its high\u00ader nature. Free\u00addom becomes ripped from shared affec\u00adtions, becom\u00ading self\u00adish and nihilis\u00adtic; Love becomes bound\u00aded by fear of the unfa\u00admil\u00adiar, affec\u00adtions nar\u00adrow and retreat inward\u00adly to anachro\u00adnis\u00adtic anchors of \u201cblood and soil\u201d. The spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal\u00adly true com\u00admu\u00adnal foun\u00adda\u00adtions founder and break, the Cen\u00adter that is Love can\u00adnot hold, and soci\u00adeties devolve into dis\u00adas\u00adso\u00adci\u00adat\u00aded groups, made of tribes formed upon fear.<\/p>\n

But just as in the same cyclic moment of the 1840\u2019s, new notions and pat\u00adterns are emerg\u00ading for us now, and there is hope that the bonds formed by our affec\u00adtions for one another\u2019s restored and shared core val\u00adues will equal\u00adly be matched by our sup\u00adport for one another\u2019s essen\u00adtial need to be a unique expres\u00adsion of those shared affec\u00adtions and values.<\/p>\n

There is much to give one hope, but there is need on the part of one and all to re-estab\u00adlish trust in one anoth\u00ader; we need to build our greater faith on kind\u00adli\u00adness and lov\u00ading deeds. These small and greater acts of indi\u00advid\u00adu\u00adals and their com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adties are hap\u00adpen\u00ading all around us too\u2026and we must do every\u00adthing we can to hold our\u00adselves to our ori\u00adgins and orig\u00adi\u00adnal intent, to hon\u00ador and remem\u00adber the com\u00adpact we have formed freely, and as inscribed upon the Great Seal of our nation\u00adal motto:<\/p>\n

E Pluribus Unum\u2014Out of Many One<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

As the great dra\u00adma of \u201cLight and Shad\u00adows\u201d unfolds in this trou\u00adbled time of an Age that is End\u00ading, when you feel the need to re-cen\u00adter your\u00adself and one anoth\u00ader, remem\u00adber the Great Invo\u00adca\u00adtion and be assured that you are not alone and the Dawn of and New Age is all around you too:<\/p>\n

THE<\/span> GREAT<\/span> INVOCATION<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

From the point of light with\u00adin the Mind of God<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let Light stream forth into our minds<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let LIGHT<\/span> descend on Earth.<\/strong><\/p>\n

From the point of love with\u00adin the Heart of God<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let Love stream forth into our hearts<\/strong><\/p>\n

May LOVE<\/span> increase on Earth.<\/strong><\/p>\n

From the cen\u00adter where the Will of God is known<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let pur\u00adpose guide our wills<\/strong><\/p>\n

The PURPOSE<\/span> which the mas\u00adters know and serve.<\/strong><\/p>\n

From the cen\u00adter which we call Humanity<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let the Plan of Love and Light work out<\/strong><\/p>\n

And may it seal the door<\/strong><\/p>\n

where evil dwells.<\/strong><\/p>\n
