Mahakala is always depicted with five skulls, the five skulls standing for the transmutation of desires into wisdom. Such a change brings on the tensions of thestruggle between the past and the unfolding future, between the urge for things to stay the same and the inevitability of transformation. This influx of new images and insights, Oken elaborated, is due to the fact that Uranus individuates and is the place of the unexpected where you do not follow the norm. This new initiation of energy that is prone to reenacting past patterns at the same time, can be found in the first Sabian Symbol of Aries in the form of the seal who is embracing the woman who has emerged from the sea. The fact is that each person has to do something different, something that is uniquely his own (p. 162-164). The North Node of Uranus in Gemini therefore relates to how the projected religions, philosophies, and ethics were focused on facilitating the organization of people into collective societies that eventually turned into the nation states we have today. Tarnas emphasized that planetary archetypes must be formulated not as literal concretely definable entities but rather as dynamic potentialities and essences of meaning that cannot be localized or restricted to a specific dimension, and so archetypes should be evoked instead of defined, and are better conveyed through a wide range of examples that collectively illustrate and suggest the enduring intangible essense that is variously inflected through the archetypes diverse embodiments (p. 89). Actual dates: Jupiter in Cancer was square Uranus in Aries on August 21, 2013 at 1204 with Uranus retrograde. Evolutionary Astrology defined by Steven Forrest and Jeffrey Wolf Green. Maggie's general openness and inclusiveness towards other astrologers. During this phase we will explore the full meaning of the Jupiter and Uranus cycle that began in 2010, and as relationships will be essential for us to discover this meaning, it will also be necessary at times to withdraw from the social sphere in order to reconnect with our inner vision. As Neptune in Pisces dissolves old structures of thought, and we enter into the crisis of consciousness signified by the Last Quarter square between Jupiter in Virgo and Saturn in Sagittarius, we will experience a humbling process of needing to admit what we do not know and open ourselves to new understanding. We can again bring the Buddha into our discussion of these times of Taurus because part of his spiritual awakening involved knowledge of his many previous incarnations, bringing the awareness that we all have a soul we have been re-incarnating in many different forms in many different lifetimes or incarnations. Jupiter in Leo and Uranus in Aries will again trine March 3, 2015 at 1435. This past April, the astrology world was abuzz with warnings regarding the Cardinal Cross that formed with squares between Pluto, Uranus, Jupiter, and Mars, and while many chaotic and traumatic events occurred at that time, events continued to develop with greater severity as Mars crossed into Scorpio and across the scythe of Saturn. Jeffrey Wolf Green Jeffrey Wolf Green has been called the founder of Evolutionary Astrology because he first started to lecture on the revolutionary astrological paradigm in 1977 after receiving a dream from the spiritual master Swami Sri Yukteswar, Paramahansa Yogananda's guru. Fittingly for this Taurus eclipse season, the two main signs of the 4th Ray are Taurus and Scorpio- Taurus, the sign of being in form, beauty and art, and the creation of the various forms of life and the ultimate release of consciousness from them that constitutes the lessons of daily living (Oken, p.120), and Scorpio, the archetype of transcending attachment to form, ruled by Pluto on our ego level because of bringing about the death process of our desire nature. Indeed, if we look at the Sabian Symbol for the North Node of the Moon, 17 degrees Scorpio, at the time of todays Solar Eclipse, we will see that we do indeed have this power of divine thought within us: Scorpio 17: A Woman, fecundated by her own spirit, is Great with child.. interact with one another in society. What this consensus reality looks like is constantly shifting in modern times, with each new generation ascending with all of its myriad fractals of individuation occurring inside. In ancient myths and spiritual texts such as the Bible, shepherds often receive divine messages, such as in the painting above by William Blake of angels appearing to shepherds. The combination of Saturn in trine to Uranus, as Jupiter opposes Uranus, brings the potential to liberate our personal vision from the restraints of our past framework, healing our past issues in the process. not only endure as timeless universals but are also co-creatively enacted and recursively affected through human participation (p.86).

Dane Rudhyar, An Astrological Mandala, p. 196. The fact that Prometheus ultimately stole the fire that Zeus was attempting to withhold in order to empower humanity with this flaming resource, can be seen in the emancipatory archetypal force generated by the Jupiter and Uranus cycle. The conjunction of the two planets occurs approximately every fourteen years. Again, inMan and His Symbols, Marie Louise von Franz uses the pine tree seed as an apt metaphor for this individuating process: .in order to bring the individuation process into reality, one must surrender consciously to the power of the unconscious, instead of thinking in terms of what one should do, or of what is generally thought right, or of what usually happens. Rudhyar viewed Jupiter as the soulful function of our purpose within the form of our Saturn structure. Thus a two-fold operation: the piercing through then the projection of images. The term archetypes at this point in the history of astrology is usually tossed around by writers without reflecting upon the origins of the word, which in published authorship can be traced to one Carl Jung. A helpful meditation for these upcoming times can be found in this translation of theTao Te Ching by Stephen Mitchell (63): Times of eclipses are usually never easy, but when exactly is life easy for humans on our planet these days? Two days later on March 20 we will experience a Solar Eclipse at 29-30 of Pisces and then later in the day will celebrate the Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere, the Fall Equinox if you are in the Southern Hemisphere. Plume. So what does all of this have to do with us today?

If you want to help yourself and assist other in conscious evolution, rather than simply waiting for it to happen, this book is the essential map for that journey! At this phase of the transiting Jupiter and Uranus cycle, we can feel passionate about a vision that has felt destined, yet also feels challenged by overwhelming obstacles. Aldus. The path to nirvana means working with ones own reactions to the change that surrounds us, to the change that we are. Are you all awake and ready? We are born into cultures and societies sprung from centuries of religious and philosophical traditions and conflicts. It is our sense of self-certainty in either case that is the issue, because since life is always changing, if we are clinging to any sense of self too strongly we are not being fully in the moment, fully going on being (p.22). . Rudhyar gives this analysis of the first degree of Aries: This is the first of the 360 phases of a universal and multi-level cyclic process which aims at the actualization of a particular set of potentialities. Walked in for the first time the day of his Saturn return. Oken, Alan. Ibis. In popular astrology we are familiar with linking the sign of Aries with the sort of bravado that could lead one to skinny dipping in public, but the deeper astrological symbolism of the sign links it with the courage necessary to fully individuate ourselves, open ourselves to exposing our pure Soul and living our True Path in the world, despite influences of societal conditioning that would have us conform to consensus expectations of behavior rooted in the past and present. The t-square between Jupiter in Virgo with Saturn in Sagittarius and Neptune in Pisces will create disillusionment that fosters a vital reorientation of vision being developed within the cycle of Uranus and Jupiter. Leading up to December 15, 2014, we will experience a ripening of the sixth out of the seven exact squares between Uranus and Pluto (look to twelve to thirteen degrees of the cardinal signs in your chart to see how you can be dramatically impacted by this transit). . Green explained this is similar to how we do not even consciously remember every single thing that happened to us yesterday, and our long term memory becomes even more imprecise every following day, week, year, and decade. Along these same lines, Green has written that the South Node of Jupiter being in Capricorn correlates with the cosmologies that were developed in the transition to these agricultural societies (note: there are some born in the past century who have their geocentric South Node of Jupiter at the final degree of Sagittarius- this still signifies the development of belief systems coinciding with the transition from nomadic groupings into agricultural communities). Marie Louise von Franz, fromMan and His Symbols. And of course, since Taurus is the sign of the bull, we also associate Taurus energy as being embodied by a bull who can be fully engrossed in the presence of the moment in its natural setting, again soaking in the physical delights of its physical form: Taurus is all about being in our body and feeling the sensations of our world upon our flesh. Dove of the Inner Eye by Morris Graves (1941). Richard Tarnas gave a brilliant synopsis of Jupiters meaning in the context of its more ancient use in astrology inCosmos and Psyche: As with the other planets known to the ancients, the archetypal significance of the planet Jupiter seems to have been established in the earliest origins of the classical astrological tradition. Health, mind & body. In BotticellismasterworkThe Birth of Venus we can sense the initiatory impulse of Aries: a Goddess arising out of an oceanic expanse, naked and primal, radiant and yet revealing an inclination to slightly cover up her exposed beauty. Jupiter: Organizer of Functions. These can perhaps become more manageable to think of grouped into three categories: Right View (encompassing Understanding and Thought), Right Relationship (consisting of Speech, Action, and Livelihood), and Right Meditation (Effort, Mindfulness, and Concentration).. Alan Oken in hisComplete Astrology brilliantly analyzes this connection between Jesus and lambs with the individuating purpose of Aries individuals: In the Christian ethic, Christ was known as the Lamb of God. The crucifixion was symbolic of the ancient sacrificial rites in which a lamb or a ram was offered to the Deity. When asked why he would not reveal other facts about reality, he gave the following reply: Because, friends, there is no profit in them; because they are not helpful to holiness; because they do not lead from disgust to cessation and peace; because they do not lead from knowledge to wisdom and nirvana. Scorpio is the polarity to Taurus, and the location of our collective focus of evolutionary growth in the form of the North Node of the Moon, as well as the current location of Saturn, the great karmic master of our three dimensional reality here. The image of The Birth of Venus is reflected in the Sabian Symbol for the very first degree of the zodiac, the first degree of Aries: A woman just risen from the sea who is embraced by a seal, and represents the Emergence of new forms and of the potentiality of consciousness (Rudyar, p.49). This Taurus energy is even more intense today as later we will experience a Solar Eclipse in Taurus, with the Sun and Moon within a few degrees of the South Node of the Moon in Taurus. Other astrologers have talked about the Moon or the 12th house as the karmic past. In Evolutionary Astrology taught by Jeffrey Wolf Green, the cardinal archetypes like Aries have an energy of two steps forward, one step back. It pierces through Saturn and throws upon the inside walls of the conscious ego images of the more universal and freer world which extends outside of these walls. Both Jupiter and Uranus were retrograde at this time. Cosmos and Psyche. He must give of his own life-energy so that Mankind may be recharged by the force of life which the Ram embodies (p. 60). (2014). The Jeffrey Wolf Green School of Evolutionary Astrology was founded by Jeffrey's daughter Deva Green to carry. In addition, Venus, Uranus, and the Sun were also conjunct Mars within an approximate orb of four degrees. As most of us know, Jeffrey Wolf Green pioneered the understanding and use of all the Planetary Nodes in the birth chart as they relate to the ongoing evolut. Yet those memories are still there held by Uranus, and a memory we had forgotten can suddenly come like a bolt of Uranian lightning into our consciousness. Now, three months later, they are finally conjunct once again, conjunct the South Node of the Moon at the same time as a Solar Eclipse conjunct the South Node of the Moon!

Rudhyar, Dane. Like the many leaves of the simsapa grove, his knowledge far exceeded the handful of his teachings. But this creatively active aspect of the psychic nucleus can come into play only when the ego gets rid of all purposive and wishful aims and tries to get to a deeper, more basic form of existence. In contrast, the higher nature of Taurus mirrors the spiritual development of the Buddha away from attachment to matter and desire, into freedom from materialism, gaining the freedom to connect with Spirit. A few years later when we arrived at the crisis in action signified by the First Quarter square between Uranus in Aries with Jupiter in Cancer, we found ourselves in an extremely catalytic astrological atmosphere that also involved a First Quarter square between Pluto in Capricorn with Uranus in Aries. About the author Jeffrey Wolf Green has been called the founder of Evolutionary Astrology because he first started to lecture on the revolutionary astrological paradigm in 1977 after receiving a dream from the spiritual master Swami Sri Yukteswar, Paramahansa Yogananda's guru. (p.55-56). Many of us as we mature and experience life come to the realization that we do not align with the belief system that our surrounding elders have preached to us and judged us by. However, this is exactly why the strong impulse to be of Aries is so important, to propel us forward into birthing our true selves into the world through actualizing new choices more aligned with our true desires, a sense of self that is not limited by past negative thought patterns or restrictive habits of behavior, and that carries the courage necessary to break free from outside expectations. This brings up the question, what is desire? For one, it means that for ages human beings have been developing belief systems around trying to control and regulate, in a Capricorn manner, the interactions of humans within societies. In particular the following quote from theTao Te Ching translation by Stephen Mitchell (45), brings up for me the perspective we can gain from losing attachment to form so that we can truly use the form of our life in greater alignment with what is actually happening around us: As I am writing this, the Sun and all of the personal planets are in Taurus: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, and Venus is literally in the final culminating minutes of her most recent pass through Taurus. The image of the Buddha above may not be the first one that comes to mind when you think of Taurus, the sign of the bull, until you begin to consider how his teachings connect with the conflicts we encounter in our physical incarnation in a body, and the suffering we cause ourselves through the crystallized patterns of thoughts and emotions we view our world from. Uranus being the higher octave of Mercury, and Uranus being in Aries and being triggered by numerous intense transits recently, it would seem we are in a period of time in which new archetypal ideas could be entering our collective consciousness. Keynote: A total reliance upon the dictates of the God-within. Rudhyars conception of Uranus imploding our Saturn structure is foundational to the meaning of the Jupiter and Uranus cycle in Evolutionary Astrology, as these Uranian impulses allow Jupiter to expand our sense of meaning and vision beyond the former constraints of Saturn. Dane RudhyarsAn Astrological Mandala works with the Sabian Symbols originally written about byMarc Edmund Jones, re-interpreting them as an American I-Ching in which there is a symbolic image and description for every one of the 360 degrees of the zodiac, considered as a cyclic and structured series which formalizes and reveals the archetypal meaning of 360 basic phases of human experience (Rudhyar, p.5). The spiritual light within the greater Soul must struggle against the ego-will that only knows how to use the powers of this material and intellectual world. This reveals the potency of the inward way, the surrender of the ego to a transcendent Force which can create throughthe person vivid manifestations of the Will of God. To quote one of my favorite wise womyn on planet earth, master herbalist Carol Trasatto, this balm of calm could be quite helpful in these intense days ahead. This is a worthy idea, and one of the possible meanings found within this fiery vastness. Moreover, Oken cites the fact that many believe that Moses, the leader of the Exodus, was born under the sign of Aries (p.59). Why do we desire and value what we do? And so a trinity of fire unfolds before us, with an individuating force beckoning creative actualization. This attempt to control or manage what cannot be changed interferes with our going on being. These archetypes are reflected in the astrological symbols of Uranus, Aquarius, and the eleventh . So even though the strong Taurus energy in this time period could potentially correspond with us falling into even more of a comfort zone than normal, we can use the deep rooted centering of Taurus to help us be present to the transformations occurring around us with our full being. Since this stellium conjunction also happened to be in orb of a square to Pluto in Capricorn, and also happened to form a yod with Jupiter in Gemini pointing to Saturn in Scorpio, the week of Easter this year has been fertile with fateful astrological energy.

It is a as if something is looking at me, something that I do not see but that sees me- perhaps that Great Man in the heart, who tells me his opinions about me by means of dreams. 2. It is primarily our Saturn, our structure of consciousness, that to Green filters out these soul memories covering immense periods of time, so as not to overwhelm us. One of the central tenets of Jeffrey Wolf Greens work is that through the Jupiter and Neptune archetypes humans can create any illusion or delusion that they want to believe in. Meat! Now, with Mars in Sagittarius and approaching a grand fire trine with Jupiter in Leo and Uranus in Aries, it is time to reclaim our sense of will from wherever we have realized we lost it or gave it away to someone or something else. When our vision of life fueled by the knowledge we are gaining from our personal experience (Jupiter) comes into conflict with the norms dictated by consensus belief systems (Capricorn where Pluto is currently transiting and the location of the South Nodes of Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto) we arrive at a crux in which we can feel judged, ashamed, and guilty or could instead rebel and individuate with self assertion in the direction of the vision being felt within.
