Under the Influence

If you are reading this, you are likely under the influence.   I’m not speaking of alcohol or drugs, but the dynamic tensions in The Heavens between the Planet Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn.  It is a cosmic whammy to be sure, and it may drive many to imbibe for sure.  But we cannot escape its influence.  It is a struggle between crystallized form in our world and the pioneer spirit to set things in motion for change and betterment.

And what a dilemma it is!  The powers that be rarely, if ever, want to share, let alone relinquish their power.  And within us there are power places that are entrenched and perhaps in need of shaking up. 

We see in our countries the struggle between the tried (but not necessarily true), and the longing for a progressive change to make our societies more just and equitable.  Make no mistake that clashes like this are not easy and usually involve hostility, aggression, and even war.

In our personal lives we are likely at this time to be involved in a major conflict between the traditional and innovative some place in our lives.  Since life is change, I believe that the Planet Uranus in Aries will win over any resistance of Pluto in Capricorn.  Need it be at the price of violence?
 

Shouldn’t tradition mete out transition incrementally and harmoniously?  Didn’t it say in The Book of Isaiah, “Come, let us reason together?”  True.  But on our ego laden planet it rarely works this way.  Uranus is lightning bolt change, seemingly out of the blue. But it is nevertheless needed and timely.  Capricorn is the preserver of life as we know it and live it.  Something’s got to give.

If these changes within our societies and within ourselves are to go more smoothly, then we must remember that love is letting go of fear.  And we are being called upon to relinquish a hell of a lot of fear these days in order for a more peaceful way of conducting our affairs, our lives.

The Square of Uranus in Aries to Pluto in Capricorn is not proving easy.  We can feel the dynamics.  Occupy Wall Street (Uranus in Aries) against Wall Street itself (a wonderful example of Pluto in Capricorn).  Here we see the spontaneous, out of the blue action of people suddenly coming together (the ninety-nine percent) against an entrenched power base of one percent holding all the wealth.
