PLUTO SQUARE URANUS: ISRAEL - GERMANY - RUSSIA - FRANCE - AUSTRALIA - CHINA - USA

PLUTO SQUARE URANUS...Uranus is the Awakener, the planet of freedom trying to shatter - in order to liberate - all the conditioning patterns in our lives, all those familiar (secure) structural definitions of inner and outer reality.  To move into our future we must be free from our past...the key is to realize and acknowledge the conditioning patterns that have shaped and defined our reality, to liberate ourselves from that which has been suppressed.

Pluto is the Transformer, the planet of initiation that moves us from past, present, into future, the planetary symbol of an evolutionary process...the prime mover.  To accomplish its goals of evolution, Pluto produces emotional shocks for the purpose of removing from our lives some life situation or behavioral pattern...by making us aware of some external or internal source of limitation blocking further growth...and by creating situations in which we become aware of new capabilities that have heretofore been dormant.

Pluto square Uranus promotes changes to cause the elimination of all emotional, intellectual, physical and spiritual attachments that prevent or block growth.  The evolutionary intent of this aspect is to eliminate all conditioning attachments that bind the individual to the past so that the soul may be free.

Pluto in Capricorn will form an exact square to Uranus in Aries in June 2012, September 2012, May 2013, November 2013, April 2014, December 2014 and March 2015.  The orb of influence is five degrees, which commences on March 24, 2012.

June 24, 2012 @ 8:15 GMT - exact square...it is to be noted that Pluto is retrograde, therefore, will accelerate the evolutionary process.

ISRAEL: The square occurs in Israel's cadent houses - Pluto retrograde in 3rd and Uranus in 6th house.  The outgoing, initiating energy of the angular houses is as a concentrated force held in the succedent houses, that circulate and move toward a new expression in the next angular house as conditions change in the cadent houses.  So for Israel the evolutionary intent is for the citizens to make the required changes and eliminate the conditioning energy involved with their neighbors by confronting the limitations of intellectual structures, to examine the nature of personal opinions and the basis for same (Pluto transiting the 3rd house) coupled with a need to cleanse, purify, and heal their Soul (Uranus transiting the 6th house) that is blocking their spirituality and soul growth.

GERMANY: The square for Germany occurs in cadent houses - Pluto retrograde in 6th and Uranus in 9th house, making the evolutionary intent for German citizens to eliminate conditioning energy connected to activity divorced from supporting the self and self-expression) by inducing a period of time for personal improvement via deep inner self-analysis, i.e., self-criticism, in order to facilitate the cleansing, purifying and healing of the Soul (Pluto transiting the 6th house - known in ancient times as the house of slavery) while clearing the detritus of religious dogma (Uranus in 9th) that limits their soul growth.

RUSSIA: For Russia the square is angular...retrograde Pluto in the 4th house and Uranus in the 7th house, giving an evolutionary intent to promote a metamorphosis of the inner emotional structure by eliminating and changing all old emotional patterns and minimizing external dependencies so that a new chapter can begin for the country, all of which will be tied to a 7th house Uranian need to become liberated by learning to accept the inherent differences that exist between all peoples.

FRANCE 5TH REPUBLIC and AUSTRALIA: The square for both France and Australia occurs in Cadent houses...transiting retrograde Pluto in the 9th house and Uranus in the 12th house.  The evolutionary intent is a process that promotes a cycle of intensified growth that demands confrontation of the limitations of existing philosophical principles and convictions.  Liberation occurs for the people of these countries by examining the causes or bases of the fear of losing control and of the fear of being overwhelmed by undefined forces.

CHINA: Retrograde Pluto is transiting the 12th house - a cadent house - in China's horoscope, squaring Uranus in the 2nd - a succedent house.  The evolutionary archetype is the need of the people to acknowledge and deal with reality in order to promote a conscious awareness of their natural spiritual identity.  A purging and elimination may be necessary to free the people to move forward.  This will be tied to the instinct to survive (Uranus in 2nd), which necessitates becoming aware of available resources and what is needed to survive.  Liberation occurs by breaking free of the current value system or resource use, which means to establish values, to change what is valued, to use and establish resources in new ways that allow for individual and species survival.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: The square for America occurs in angular houses...retrograde Pluto in the 1st house and Uranus in the 4th house, giving the evolutionary theme of initiating new actions that reflect that a new cycle in evolutionary development is beginning.  This may require a break from the past, or it may require breaking with certain dimensions that are linked with an old response, approach or attitude from the past.  Liberation occurs as the people rebel against the conditioning energy of their society, as they break up the crystalized structures foisted upon them.  Liberation occurs with stabilization, the whole point of Uranus being to recover one's essential nature. 

JAPAN UPDATE DECEMBER 2011

Click on chart to enlarge, then click again.

Transiting Pluto, planet of things nuclear, is and has been expressing through Japan's 8th house of death, purging and purifying.  Pluto is now less than 3* from its square of 11th house Venus in Aries, its detriment, where it is hindered from its natural expression.

The 11th house is one of circumstantial developments, due to the trend of affairs, not according to plan and expectation.  It rules large-scale events, universal in scope, unconventional and departing from the norm.  It is the end-of-the-matter-4th house after the 8th house of death.  It is now being activated by the transit of Pluto in the square relationship with Venus. 

Reports of Fukushima reactor #4 Fuel Pool state collapse is imminent, that it already has a collapsed wall and that earthquake movement of any significance will collapse the spent Fuel Pool, rendering east central Japan uninhabitable.

Whether these reports are accurate we nevertheless must take into consideration the planetary aspects.  On February 26, 2012, transiting Pluto will make the exact square to Venus, while transiting Neptune will conjoin the chart ruler, retrograde Mercury, and square its own 12th house position...as transiting Uranus forms a sextile to natal 12th house Pluto, the latter two planets being at odds with one another with a natal sesqui-square aspect, the action of which is to break up existing conditions rather suddenly.

Whatever happens early in the new year will be followed in springtime by the Pluto/Uranus square as it comes into a five degree orb of influence at the end of March 2012.  Pluto in the 8th house instills an evolutionary process that promotes a necessary death of all old and outmoded patterns of behavior; it releases and purges cumulative negative karma. It brings a country low by destruction so that it can either achieve regeneration or wipe the slate clean.

The eastern portion of the horoscope runs from the 10th to the 3rd houses.  Note that Venus is placed in the eastern section of the chart.

DECEMBER FULL MOON LUNAR ECLIPSE - USA

Click on chart to enlarge, then click again.

DATA:  December 10, 2011 @ 9:37 a.m. - Washington, D.C.

An eclipse in the element air (Moon in Gemini) indicates focus on trade, the marketplace, transport, and all forms of communication because the energy of Gemini is that of movement, versatility and variability.  The Moon itself rules markets...the 5th house governs the ruin of credit (8th house of debt from the 10th of credit).

As an aside, this Full Moon Lunar Eclipse takes place on the same day that Uranus goes into direct motion...in the 2nd house of wealth...so we should in the not too distant future be observing  further destruction of the country's wealth.

Saturn, Neptune and Uranus, as co-rulers of the 1st house, govern the general state of the nation and the people in particular in this chart.  Saturn opposing Jupiter expresses a conflicting business environment.  Neptune trine Saturn and sextile Jupiter induces a smokescreen overall, a sort of cartoon surrealism but on occasion receiving surprising flashes of insight that has the possibility that people may develop an ever-clearer reality-conception.  The 29th degree of Aquarius is an heroic degree, yet at the worst case can induce a destiny with frightful ordeals.  We are being challenged to not only walk a fine line, but to maintain our integrity as we do so.  Uranus trine retrograde Mercury in the 10th house speaks to the need of government to consider new ideas that would cause them to approach old problems from a new perspective...or the energies could be misused by the country's leader for purposes of travel to distant places (Mercury in Sagittarius), extravagance in the face of dire events occurring at home base being one of his greatest talents...fiddling while the country burns...in a civilization going, going, Gone With The Wind.  The latest travel plans of the president as issued by the White House indicate the playboy-in-chief will travel to Honolulu, Hawaii on December 17, 2011 and not return to the nation's capitol until January 2, 2012...and so we can count on the planetary energies being frittered away rather than being put to good use.

In the USA horoscope, the influence of this Full Moon Eclipse:  the country's natal Mars is activated as the eclipse comes within 3* 13' of a conjunction in the 7th house of War, Mars itself being the planet of war, as signified by its aggressive urges.  We, therefore, may expect some sort of conflict that can include domestic terrorists - as defined by our corrupt government as those of us who store food for more than 7 days or who own a gun - as Mars rules Aries on the USA 4th house cusp...hearth and home.

On the road of life one mile-stone more!
In the book of life one leaf turned o'er!
Like a red seal is the setting sun
On the good and the evil men have done,--
Naught can to-day restore!

USA: BUILDING A BARTER SYSTEM

In "Money & Debt, A Solution To The Global Crisis," author Thomas H. Greco, Jr., stresses that the world has changed and local community interaction is the key to future prosperity in today's unraveling economy.  Greco goes on to say reduction of our independence on banks and the fiat system is necessary and to do so, we must organize private exchange systems that can be networked together.

What could be more perfect than for communities across the United States to begin to build a barter system on the day that Jupiter turns direct in motion!  Talk it up over Christmas dinner, get into discussions about the looming financial catastrophe and the means by which your families can survive it...because the iceberg is dead ahead.

Barter is ruled by JUPITER - URANUS - VENUS

Jupiter turns direct in motion on Dec. 25, 2011 @ 0* Taurus 22'...Merry Christmas!  Jupiter will trine USA Venus @ 3* Cancer 06' on Feb. 4, 2012, presenting an opportunity to set up a barter network from the day of direct motion on Dec. 25, 2011 up to Feb. 4, 2012.  Uranus turns direct on Dec. 10, 2012 @ 0* Aries 38' and will be applying to a square of USA Venus into Feb. 2012.  Squares are a determinant to action, put the energies to good use.

Barter systems are not anything new, but they usually appear after economic collapse occurs, when people are less able to produce a viable method of obtaining the goods and foods they require.  The wiser course of action is to begin building barter networks now so as to minimize the effects of an economic/financial crisis and to maintain your independence from a system in its death spiral.  

To begin:  Make a list of your talents and items to be traded.  If you can sew, offer to make clothing items or to hem slacks.  If you can construct things, offer to trade repair work.  If you have a vehicle, offer transportation for medical care, etc.

Next:  Create a flyer listing your talents and possessions to be traded and circulate them in your community...in your church, at the supermarket, in your local library.

It is never too late to become proficient in a skill.  Seek an elder who has the knowledge that you seek or search the internet for ideas, for how-to lessons or go to your library and search reference books or have intra-library loan order the books required.

Most of all, be at peace while the world is in transition, for the upheaval is a blessing in disguise.

NEW MOON SOLAR ECLIPSE NOVEMBER 2011 - USA

Click on chart to enlarge, then click again.

VIRGO RISES...ruler Mercury is retrograde in Sagittarius in the 3rd house, along with the New Moon Eclipse, which is square Mars in Virgo, highlighting the functioning of our minds on a normal, day-to-day level, the purpose being the need to deal with everyday existence...the square of Mars suggesting tremendous stress in doing so.  As the 1st house rules the people and its ruler is retrograde, it describes the citizens as being in unhealthy circumstances.

Focus of the eclipse is on 3rd house matters; with the square to Mars we are looking at a clamp down on freedoms via the transit system and all methods of communications, as the public will be dealing with a petty scheming and plotting mentality.

Sagittarius is on the 4th house cusp (ruling real estate, agriculture, weather) and will be highly influenced by this eclipse, which is adrift in the Scorpio-ruled 3rd house...a warning to take what you hear from the media with a grain of salt.  Jupiter, ruler of the Sagittarius eclipse, is retrograde in Taurus in the 8th house, in inconjunct aspect to it.  Jupiter rules journalists and reporters, who will be putting a spin on things monetary going forward.  Take heed and be your own counsel.

A negative Sagittarius influence alludes to a tendency to venture outward, to seek beyond the self.  It induces a lack of purpose and shallowness of mind in how daily living is approached.  Original thinking in large concepts tends to morph into that which is trite.  The message of this Solar Eclipse is to know where you stand in the scheme of things, for unless a person can know themselves, all else that may be learned in life would be of no use.  It is the inner person that is most important, that provides that which is necessary for life.  Rather than make the mistake of an outward journey, one must look within.

The lunation trine retrograde Uranus in the 7th house brings with it a sudden turn of events involving dealings with the public in general that will cause those involved to rebel against D.C. dictates.  More than likely the OWS movement and exciting new ideas that bring a fresh perspective.

Grand Trine in Earth signs: Jupiter in Taurus, associated with bankers, Mars in Virgo, associated with natural resources, and Pluto in Capricorn, associated with business.  Earth signs find their expression in the material realm, enjoying organization and security.  I read this for America as criminal action (Mars in 12th house) by the banking industry (retrograde Jupiter in 8th house) which will reap tremendous rewards for the chosen few (grand trine) as oligarchy digs its roots deeper in our very foundations (Pluto in Capricorn in 4th house).

Mars, also adrift in the Leo-ruled 12th house, is separating from an opposition to Neptune in the 6th house, indicating unemployment data has been skewed.  This planetary combination is indicative of a toxic type aggression, a seething anger waiting to be unleashed that could manifest in unconstitutional police action against the populace. 

Come away, O human child,

To the waters and the wild with a fairy, hand in hand,

For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.

  - William Butler Yeats -

NOVEMBER 10, 2011 FULL MOON USA

Click on chart to enlarge, then click again.

Data:  November 10, 2011 @ 3:17 p.m. - Washington, D.C.

The November Full Moon for the USA straddles the cusps of the money houses...what a surprise, lol...while the financial planet, Jupiter, retrogrades in Taurus insisting that folks get a grip on their sense of values.  The Full Moon brings to fruition what the New Moon promised, as I wrote:  " The focus of this New Moon is debt, taxes, entitlements and welfare."  Cancer on the 4th house cusp highlights homelessness wrought by financial criminality that to this day goes unpunished.

Aries Rises, ruler Mars on the last degree of Leo, conjoined the Fixed Star Regulus, separating from an opposition to Neptune, which stationed direct in motion on November 9th, warning that the crisis cannot be averted...and while Regulus is often a blessing, under the influence of an opposition to Neptune and inconjunct to retrograde Uranus, both in the 12th house, material poverty and outward misery may well be the outcome.  Although everyone will be touched in some manner, those who have followed their intuition and lived prudently, preparing for difficult times while the unwary have lived it up need not share their suffering.  Open your hearts and share the largesse you have accumulated towards those who are innocent due to harsh life circumstances, for you are your brother's keeper.

Lives of great men all remind us

  We can make our lives sublime,

And, departing, leave behind us

  Footprints on the sands of time;

Footprints, that perhaps another,

  Sailing o'er life's solemn main,

A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,

  Seeing, shall take heart again.

NEW MADRID SEISMIC ZONE - NOVEMBER 2011

Click on chart to enlarge then click again.

Dutchsince has this date reported spotting plumes at the New Madrid region...he states:  "The last time plumes appeared, in California/Nevada, a 6.0 happened to the south of the area within two weeks of the plumes venting from the ground...visit his site at
http://tinyurl.com/3q56ghm

 Taking a look at planetary activity, transiting Jupiter conjoined natal Moon = plumes...transiting Pluto (volcanoes, earthquakes) is in the 4th house (foundations) trine natal Moon in Taurus along with transiting Jupiter and approaching a square to natal Uranus in Libra.

As the Pluto/Uranus square tends toward massive alterations, we may very well be watching the precursor to a seismic event at the New Madrid region.

If you live east of the NMSZ and your supplier of cat food ships from the west side of the zone...stock up now.
 

"I put down my book, The Meaning of Zen, and see the cat smiling into her fur as she delicately combs it with her rough pink tongue.
Cat, I would lend you this book to study but it appears you have already read it.
She looks up and gives me her full gaze.
Don't be ridiculous, she purrs, I wrote it.
