The USA<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

In my three pre\u00advi\u00adous post\u00adings we exam\u00adined the near past, present and future of what are known as \u201cTran\u00adsits to Tran\u00adsits\u201d, the Astro\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal Ener\u00adgy-Forms that are Uni\u00adver\u00adsal and res\u00adonate for one and for all. Now we will turn our atten\u00adtion to spe\u00adcif\u00adic charts, and the con\u00addi\u00adtions artic\u00adu\u00adlat\u00aded there by what are known as \u201cTran\u00adsits to Natal\u201d. Like last year, I will first take into con\u00adsid\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion the chart of the Unit\u00aded States of Amer\u00adi\u00adca; in the next post\u00ading, I will use the same method\u00adol\u00ado\u00adgy to look at the con\u00addi\u00adtions in Don\u00adald Trump\u2019s chart.<\/p>\n

In 2017 the USA<\/span> was under the influ\u00adence of Uranus Squar\u00ading Plu\u00adto, which posed the chal\u00adlenge of hold\u00ading togeth\u00ader in an inte\u00adgral, mutu\u00adal\u00adly sup\u00adport\u00adive way the prin\u00adci\u00adple of Freer Minds (Uranus) and Cen\u00adtered Wills (Plu\u00adto). Giv\u00aden the close oppo\u00adsi\u00adtion of the USA<\/span> Mer\u00adcury to Plu\u00adto, this extend\u00aded into a two-year theme from 2016 through 2017. We expe\u00adri\u00adenced an anx\u00adi\u00adety-filled and exhaust\u00ading bat\u00adtle over thoughts\/truths and the vio\u00adla\u00adtions (tres\u00adpass\u00ading) of Sacred Space that had been at play through 2016, and con\u00adtin\u00adued through 2017.<\/p>\n

For 2018, there are two sig\u00adnif\u00adi\u00adcant tran\u00adsits to the chart of the USA<\/span>: 1) Sat\u00adurn mov\u00ading into Capri\u00adcorn will oppose both the USA<\/span> Venus and Jupiter; and 2) Nep\u00adtune will align with the USA<\/span> Sat\u00adurn in a man\u00adner not seen since 1854\u201355.<\/p>\n

Sat\u00adurn in Capricorn<\/strong>
\nHis\u00adtor\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly, the move\u00adment of Sat\u00adurn into Capri\u00adcorn, which is the Sign oppo\u00adsite to the USA<\/span> Sun in Can\u00adcer, has seemed to elic\u00adit chal\u00adlenges and dif\u00adfi\u00adcul\u00adties. The three pre\u00advi\u00adous peri\u00adods were 1988\u20131991, 1959\u20131962 and 1929\u201332. In each of these peri\u00adods there were mar\u00adket dis\u00adrup\u00adtions which led to reces\u00adsions (and, of course, to the Great Depres\u00adsion), and which also brought about sig\u00adnif\u00adi\u00adcant shifts in the bal\u00adance of polit\u00adi\u00adcal pow\u00ader, (1992, Bill Clin\u00adton won with, \u201cIt\u2019s the econ\u00ado\u00admy, stu\u00adpid!\u201d, as the excess\u00ades of the Rea\u00adgan years caught up with Bush the elder; 1960, JFK<\/span> defeat\u00aded Nixon as the lat\u00ader peri\u00adod after the Kore\u00adan War and the Pres\u00adi\u00adden\u00adcy of Eisen\u00adhow\u00ader brought on a reces\u00adsion; and 1932, FDR<\/span> came to pow\u00ader with his New Deal after Her\u00adbert Hoover\u2019s pro\u00adgrams failed to alle\u00advi\u00adate the ago\u00adnies of the Great Depression).<\/p>\n

While no tran\u00adsit will repeat exact\u00adly as it was, (as every oth\u00ader plan\u00adet and plan\u00ade\u00adtary pat\u00adterns have moved into new posi\u00adtions), there are cer\u00adtain\u00adly res\u00ado\u00adnances and rhymes from one pas\u00adsage to anoth\u00ader. This tran\u00adsit of Sat\u00adurn over Jupiter and Venus, (the Greater and Less\u00ader Benefics in Astrol\u00ado\u00adgy), and then over the Sun in 2019, will most like\u00adly lead to sim\u00adi\u00adlar chal\u00adlenges to what was encoun\u00adtered in these pre\u00advi\u00adous peri\u00adods. We may expect to expe\u00adri\u00adence a peri\u00adod of eco\u00adnom\u00adic chal\u00adlenges lead\u00ading to polit\u00adi\u00adcal re-align\u00adments just like we have before.<\/p>\n

Nep\u00adtune Incon\u00adjunct Saturn<\/strong>
\nThe oth\u00ader major plan\u00ade\u00adtary aspect for the USA<\/span> in 2018 is brought about by the Plan\u00adet Nep\u00adtune mov\u00ading through Pisces, form\u00ading an Incon\u00adjunct (150\u00b0 aspect) to Sat\u00adurn in the USA<\/span> chart. Giv\u00aden the orbit of Nep\u00adtune is about 164 years, this exact aspect has only occurred once before, in 1854\u201355.<\/p>\n

Sat\u00adurn in Libra, and in the USA<\/span> 10th<\/sup> House is said to be emblem\u00adat\u00adic of our Foun\u00adda\u00adtion\u00adal Prin\u00adci\u00adple, which is that the USA<\/span> is a coun\u00adtry formed by a covenant of equals. We agreed in break\u00ading from a King\u00addom to form a \u201cself-gov\u00adern\u00adment\u201d. To do so our prin\u00adci\u00adples, pat\u00adterns and rules of inter\u00adre\u00adla\u00adtion\u00adship would be inscribed and pro\u00adtect\u00aded by Law, (in the USA<\/span>, the Law would be King). Our abid\u00ading prin\u00adci\u00adple would always be that we are all equal to one anoth\u00ader, and no one is above the Law.<\/p>\n

But our very foun\u00adda\u00adtion\u00adal doc\u00adu\u00adment, the Con\u00adsti\u00adtu\u00adtion, which is based upon and for\u00admu\u00adlat\u00aded into the most cher\u00adished ideals, the long-hard efforts of human spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal awak\u00aden\u00ading, also encod\u00aded some of the most per\u00adni\u00adcious, vile and anti-spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal beliefs and legal prin\u00adci\u00adples too. The most hor\u00adri\u00adble of these was the legal\u00adiza\u00adtion of slav\u00adery for a par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar racial type, and for the pur\u00adpos\u00ades of main\u00adtain\u00ading eco\u00adnom\u00adic and polit\u00adi\u00adcal pow\u00ader for slave-own\u00ading states, count\u00ading those slaves as 2\/3 of a per\u00adson for pur\u00adpos\u00ades of rep\u00adre\u00adsen\u00adta\u00adtion for those states.<\/p>\n

Dur\u00ading the pri\u00ador pas\u00adsage of Nep\u00adtune over Sat\u00adurn in 1854\u201355, the strug\u00adgle over the ques\u00adtion as to whether or not any new\u00adly admit\u00adted states would be \u201cslave or free\u201d was bring\u00ading a spiritual\/political cri\u00adsis to a cli\u00admax. The \u201cKansas-Nebras\u00adka Act\u201d was passed declar\u00ading that hence\u00adforth each ter\u00adri\u00adto\u00adry form\u00ading itself into a state would be able to choose whether to be \u201cslave\u201d or \u201cfree\u201d. It led to advo\u00adcates of both sides rush\u00ading in and bat\u00adtling one anoth\u00ader for con\u00adtrol, giv\u00ading us the hor\u00adrors of \u201cbloody Kansas\u201d and vio\u00adlent mili\u00adtia move\u00adments on both sides (as in John Brown). The polit\u00adi\u00adcal lead\u00aders of that time could not, would not, bring them\u00adselves to do the only morally\/spiritually hon\u00ador\u00adable thing to do, end Slav\u00adery. This lack of courage to do what spir\u00adit (and his\u00adto\u00adry) demand\u00aded became one of the final fail\u00adures that led inevitably to the Civ\u00adil War that followed.<\/p>\n

It is not unex\u00adpect\u00aded by those who study the great cycles of his\u00adto\u00adry, but seem\u00ading\u00adly for some quite alarm\u00ading, that the \u201cOrig\u00adi\u00adnal Sin\u201d of Amer\u00adi\u00adca, Racism<\/em><\/strong>, <\/em>(pri\u00admar\u00adi\u00adly as slav\u00adery for Africans, yet we will nev\u00ader for\u00adget the geno\u00adcide of Native Amer\u00adi\u00adcans, and the series of injus\u00adtices faced by many, many immi\u00adgrants, who came with the dream of a bet\u00adter world only to face the night\u00admare of being made scape\u00adgoats for another\u2019s sin), that this evil that is racism is once again the lead\u00ading sto\u00adry of our day. And, we are most painful\u00adly remind\u00aded of this every day by the words and deeds of the present occu\u00adpant of the Presidency.<\/p>\n

Just as in the 1850\u2019s, we now in Amer\u00adi\u00adca are being remind\u00aded that there is a cost to divid\u00ading our\u00adselves from our spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal moral cen\u00adter which is fun\u00adda\u00admen\u00adtal\u00adly found\u00aded in the Ancient Wis\u00addom and peren\u00adni\u00adal teach\u00adings, whether Spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal, Reli\u00adgious or Philo\u00adsoph\u00adi\u00adcal. That fun\u00adda\u00admen\u00adtal truth is this:<\/p>\n

That every one of us is a spark of the Divine, equal\u00adly of and made by love, here to be lov\u00ading and loved no mat\u00adter what. And to the extent that any one of us is denied their human dig\u00adni\u00adty and essen\u00adtial val\u00adue, then not one of us is tru\u00adly human or free. The objec\u00adti\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtion and dimin\u00adish\u00adment of any one per\u00adson or group dimin\u00adish\u00ades every sin\u00adgle one of us. <\/em><\/p>\n

There is no \u201cfree\u00addom\u201d for any one of us when any oth\u00ader, or so many, are not held as equal in spir\u00adit, equal as human to one and all. This Nep\u00adtune align\u00adment to Sat\u00adurn once again reminds us that the work of Spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal devel\u00adop\u00adment and Human Awak\u00aden\u00ading is ever-unfold\u00ading, and we are at anoth\u00ader crit\u00adi\u00adcal moment for our coun\u00adtry, and for our world.<\/p>\n

The ques\u00adtion is will we stand for each per\u00adson as our equal, whether by gen\u00adder, sex\u00adu\u00adal ori\u00aden\u00adta\u00adtion, eth\u00adnic and cul\u00adtur\u00adal her\u00aditage, nation\u00adal ori\u00adgin, or any oth\u00ader indi\u00advid\u00adu\u00adal\u00adiz\u00ading determinant\u2026will we abide and fol\u00adlow our great mot\u00adto that is on the Seal of the Unit\u00aded States of America:<\/p>\n

That we are made of many, we are beau\u00adti\u00adful, diverse radi\u00adant beings who are here to hold each oth\u00ader as one, so that we are indeed formed as we claim to be\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>Out of Many, we are One\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The laws of Spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal Jus\u00adtice are per\u00adfect; what you give is what you get.<\/p>\n

Let us heal our wounds for one anoth\u00ader; let us for\u00adgive but nev\u00ader forget.<\/p>\n

May we love and be loved; may we sing and laugh and cry together.<\/p>\n

Let us look one anoth\u00ader in the eye,<\/p>\n

Let us see the truth shin\u00ading there.<\/p>\n

We are one.<\/p>\n
