Are you exhausted by what seem to be impossible choices? Like, end wars and lose your freedom? Or, tell the truth and lose the election? Flames of revolutionary transformation flare up again December 14th, the 6th pinnacle of the 7 intense points of friction between fiery Uranus (rebellion and freedom) and earthy Pluto (death and transformation). We’re now in the home stretch toward the apocalyptic Seventh Sign, coming March 16, 2015.
Will we heal the split in our minds, the duality of us versus them? Are we willing at last to choose love instead of fear?
Pile up enough dirt and you can extinguish any fire. In other words, the psychological weight of your old beliefs create inertia, potentially preventing you from acting on the restless sense of urgency you feel to break the chains that bind you. Inertia, willful refusal to change, produces anxiety, anger and impulsive diversions like the famous stopgap solution of “let them eat cake.”
Today both Pluto in earthy Capricorn and Uranus in fiery Aries will be at exact 90 degree angles in incompatible signs that generate internal tension (this square last occurred 1927-1935). The torch of Aries fire is archetypally carried by Warrior Mars, the aggressive freedom fighter who exists in all of us. Powerful Pluto, the mythological lord of the underworld, is in an earth sign, digging up graves of resentments, repressed memories and unexamined beliefs. These two foes have been insisting that we must make difficult reforms before we can claim our freedom.
Think of the electromagnetic energy from these two planets as oscillating waves carrying messages, and although they are have different frequencies, they want to get in sync. With both Uranus and Pluto at 15 degrees 18 seconds of their respective signs, their influence is amplified. The seeds of revelation were planted when Uranus and Pluto traveled side by side from 1962 to 1968. On August 28th, 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. lit the fire of the Civil Rights Movement by proclaiming, “I have a dream...”
How much time do you spend analyzing or regurgitating the past, the one thing you know you cannot change? Oh, you might say you’re justified because the past holds valuable lessons. Really? That might be true, if you could trust what you saw. Aren’t you relying on your subjective perceptions of what actually happened? Wouldn’t illusions be a better word?
Watch what you think, because that’s what you’ll see. Your desire forms the lens of your perception. Healing is simply the shift in your perception from fear to love.
“Love is misunderstood to be an emotion; actually, it is a state of awareness, a way of being in the world, a way of seeing oneself and others.” David R. Hawkins
December is a month of critical culminations and turning points, so here’s a cheat sheet list:
December 14th, is the 6th revolution and revelation. And, an uplifting of your spirits through the solar-powered optimism of the Sagittarius Sun shining on lucky Jupiter.
December 16th, Messenger Mercury starts delivering all your communications with staunch integrity when he joins Venus and Pluto in Capricorn. This powerhouse triggers epiphanies.
December 21st, the New Moon in Capricorn meets Mercury, Pluto and Venus for a five star lineup in this earthy sign of career success. Launch. Publish. Partner-up.
December 21st, the Capricorn Solstice marks the return of light after the longest night.
December 20th and December 24th, Venus pairs up with Pluto and flirts with Uranus on the 20th, keeping the revolutionary revealtionations alive and focused on your relationships. Mercury, who moved into Capricorn on the 16th, collides with Pluto and squares Uranus on the 24th, taking our thinking to the outer limits of truth, outside the lines of logic, way out of our comfort zone.
December 23rd, Thank God, a seriously stern Saturn leaves behind-the-scenes Scorpio and enters the truth telling sign of the zodiac, Sagittarius. Don’t even try to lie!
December 31st, we celebrate the eve of a New Year and put the past behind us, without regret, melancholia or longing. 2014 is gone, and nothing is left but a blessing.
The Force of The Phoenix is with you.
Here’s your horoscope for the week of December 14th to 20th, 2014
ARIES ☀ (March 21-April 19)
Powerful Pluto is calling you to transform in your 10th house of career ambitions. Meanwhile Uranus in your 1st house of self identity fires up your strong drive for freedom in your personal behavior. You don’t take kindly to being told what to do. Your unusual scientific and intuitive talents peak, and advance your career in some unconventional way. The underbelly is becoming obstinate or reckless. Pluto has been digging relentlessly in your unconscious mind, exhuming ghosts of authority figures past. Rebellion won’t cut it anymore. You are called to be the author of your life and to develop your intuitive abilities. You are clairvoyant, watch for unconscious telepathic information influencing your motivation. Being the first to cross the finish line is a triumph, makes you a winner for that day. Being first to say “I love you” echoes through eternity, repeatedly blessing countless thousands as it returns to you.
TAURUS ☀ (April 20-May 20)
Your 12th solar house of the collective consciousness, of dreams and visions, is where the god of lightning is dishing up surprises that are meant to free you from some limiting belief that has held you back. The 12th is know as the house that Freud built, because it is the place of deep exploration of the unconscious mind. Your psychological insights are arising in sudden aha’s, loosened by lightning and popping to the surface of your conscious mind.You can deepen your meditation and reach the inner chambers of your mind. You are likely to find a repository of secrets which won’t cause confusion if you stick to a spiritual practice that helps your “see” what you’re picking up clairvoyantly. These deep waters also hold your fears, and this is where you want closure. Meanwhile, Pluto in your 9th house of the higher mind, is transforming your whole philosophy of life. You are having profound insights about the future of humanity, giving you the capacity for spiritual leadership. For you dear Taurus, the call to a revolution is doubled because Pluto in this house gives you little tolerance for hypocrisy or injustice. As long as you don’t become a fanatic (you can get in a rut easily) you want to withdraw your support of institutions, like higher education, that aren’t worthy of your respect. Don’t worry--with Venus as your ruler you’ll rebel with grace! When you speak the language of your heart, Angels hear your softest whispers and carry them around the world to comfort others.
GEMINI ☀ (May 21-June 21)
The lightning bolts are still landing in your 11th house of sisterhood and brotherhood, where rebellions Uranus wants you to blast through some senseless traditions and to withdraw your need to have the approval of others. Rebellion for you is in the form of being unconventional, and letting your free flag of universal laws fly. You have important roles in groups that are spiritually stimulating and/or have a humanitarian purpose. The only trouble here is that you aren’t in the mood to be tied down to one relationship--unless it’s absolutely electrifying! Powerful Pluto remains in your 8th house, where everything is made intense. Hence your conflict of wanting unfettered freedom and desiring depth and intimacy. Hint: unconventional is your way out. The 8th house is the house of “karma” and reincarnation and the power to look death in the face without flinching--sort of like Luke confronting Darth Vader. You are here to learn there is no death, life is but a dream, and during these revelations you may have a profound experience that shows you just that. We must be willing to let go of the life we planned, so we can have the life waiting for us.
CANCER ☀ (June 22-July 22)
The god of lightning remains in your house of career, where things are changing rapidly. Uranus is not trying to upset you, but rather free you from some restrictive job or responsibility. Uranus will put you in an unconventional job, that has some cutting edge excitement to it. No matter what you chose, Uranus is making sure you’ll have an innovative role and/or learn an unusual technique for doing it. If you’re listening to Uranus, you won’t have a conventional bone in your body. But then of course there’s the conflict stirred by Pluto in your 7th house of partnerships. This means a relationship will (already is?) drastically altering your life. You are attracting to you people with Pluto’s characteristics--strong-willed, powerful perhaps to the point of being domineering, and someone who shares your urgent sense of justice. You yourself are embodying these traits also. You are having intense reactions to anyone whose behavior is criminal or unjust. It’s as if you can see through them, and you definitely pick up on their true motives. Grab a gavel, put on those black robes, and be honest about the fact that you’re the new Judge Judy! Its okay, you’re fair.
LEO ☀ (July 23-August 22)
Lightning has been blasting away any ideas that aren't on the cutting edge. If it isn’t progressive and innovative you don’t want to hear it. New methods of teaching are your forte right now. Uranus is offering you flashes of inspired insight into the changes that are needed in order to form a more humane society. Your optimism helps you expand your idea of what’s possible, even to the point of visualizing a kind of utopia--a world without war, crime, ignorance. As long as you don’t fall into being an “armchair philosopher” with pat answers, advanced ideas will flow out of your spirit of intellectual adventure. Pluto comes along in your 6th house and is insisting that you learn the correlation between positive thinking and good health. You’re called to transform your attitude about work. Pluto may give you an employee or co-worker who tests the actual implementation of your innovative ideas by being uncooperative or overbearing. Power plays are Pluto’s “thing,” and he usually wins due to the intensity of desire and determination to get to the bottom line truth. Nothing about your work will be superficial, you’ve done your 10,000 hours, but the conflict between Pluto and Uranus suggests that your thoroughness could dampen the sparks of your aha’s. Luckily, you Leo’s have Jupiter hitting home runs for you even when you’re face down in details. An imaginative 9 year old is still living inside you, with oodles of ideas to turn life into a game that happy children play.
VIRGO ☀ (August 23-September 22)
Your 5th house of children and creativity is where Powerful Pluto is calling for transformation. You have the intense concentration, even obsession, to create a profound work of art. You are inspired from a higher level of consciousness. Because you love intensely, this is a time in your life when love and love relationships will bring you spiritual regeneration. Pluto is infusing your creativity with depth of meaning. This is also true for matters related to romance and your children. For you, Uranus is lending a helping hand to Pluto, because he’s in your 8th house of rebirth where he’s accidentally “exalted.” Sudden epiphanies are showing you two truths: Love is the answer no matter what the question, and change is the only thing you can count on in the physical world. Imagine this dear Virgo--you don’t need to do anything except surrender to what already is. “The world is neither good nor bad nor defective, nor is it in need of help or modification because its appearance is only a projection of one’s own mind. No such world exists.” David R. Hawkins
LIBRA ☀ (September 23-October 22)
Surprises delight and turn over the apple cart in your 7th house of relationships. The god of lightning strikes with demands to change and break generational patterns of male/female roles. If you want a committed partnership, you’ll have to reel in the extreme nedd for independence that you feel with the tension between Uranus and Pluto. If left to his own shocking devices, Uranus would subject all your relationships to rapid turnover. Changes have been occurring so rapidly, they’re dizzying--for you and for your partner. The exception should be the appearance of an unusually brilliant, though quite eccentric, person who has no need to dominate or control you. None. The conflict emerges from Pluto in your 4th house of home and family insisting that you be master of the homefront, even with a domineering attitude. Hence, you can’t dish out the same unrestricted freedom you want to your mate. But the combo gives you a surprising resourcefulness, in which you look to mother nature for the answers that she holds in the myriad unconventional forms of mating she’s come up with! Imagine this dear Libra; what if the only thing you need to do to have a happy relationship, to know and understand your partner completely, is to withdraw your projections?
“The other person merely mirrors back what we are projecting onto them.” David R. Hawkins
SCORPIO ☀ (October 23-November 21)
The major tension in your world comes from Powerful Pluto, the ruler of Scorpio, who’s empowering you with a keenly penetrating mind, and the ability to understand the causes behind life experiences, both your own and those of others. You’ve got great mental resourcefulness right now, and your communications get very sharp after the 16th. You’ve formed some strong opinions from these insights that are not easy to express because they come out in such a forceful way. You’re tempted to hold them in. That’s when the god of lightning steps in with a sudden dose of inventiveness, and you find your way around any obstacle. You aren't inclined to accept (or even tolerate) a routine, because Uranus is in your 6th solar house of work. You want freedom in your job. And a mentally stimulating partner. And you, you are as radiant as a star that has no need except to shine.
SAGITTARIUS ☀ (November 22-December 21)
Having the god of lightning in your 5th house of romance and creativity is like growing a Heavenly Blue Morning Glory who greets you with a surprise unfurling in the morning and is gone by night. Your tastes have been rather unusual in art and friends. Your artistic ability is inspired by an interest in the outliers--you aren’t interested in coloring outside the box, you refuse to have a box at all. Then Powerful Pluto shows up in your 2nd house of money and insists that you make some! The conflict is in the way you use your resources--you want to sock it away in a bank, but Uranus throws in a few lightning bolt surprises and you’re distracted by the excitement. You decide to free yourself of such encumberances and give it all away! When you harness these conflicting energies your artistic creations will do well in the marketplace. “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” Viktor Frankl
CAPRICORN ☀ (December 22-January 19)
With powerful Pluto in your 1st house of self identity, you are intensely self aware right now. Your willpower is particularly strong and you have lots of initiative. But you’re not too keen on cooperating or conforming to traditional roles, so you’re tempted to go it alone--but don’t. Then the god of lightning shows up with thunderbolts in your living room, and you decide to purchase a robot to take care of everything. Actually, you’re just tired of being the rock for everyone. You want more freedom to come and go as you please. Your whole concept of how you want to live your life is changing, to be much more in line with your spiritual goals. A Course In Miracles says, “God’s Will for us is perfect happiness.” Imagine. Everyone around you shares your happiness. Problems solved. “Let go of anticipating the next moment, trying to control it, trying to hang onto the moment that just passed...Then you live in an infinite space of non-time and non-event. There is infinite peace beyond description. And you are home.” David R. Hawkins
AQUARIUS ☀ (January 20-February 18)
With Pluto, the mythic lord of the underworld, in your 12th house of the collective unconscious, the house of dreams and visions, you are capable of having profound, even clairvoyant, revelations. Your intuitive powers are so strong right now that you’re experiencing an unconscious telepathic sensitivity to others. You may feel like withdrawing into a secluded space, but be careful that it doesn't set you up to become preoccupied with your own problems. What the stars are guiding you to is an understanding of how to help improve the circumstance of those less fortunate than you. Those who for whatever reason cannot or do not help themselves. Meanwhile the god of lightning is in your house of communications surprising your mind with unusual and intuitive ideas. Here your thinking is more scientific and detached, which is in conflict with the 12th house need for deeply empathic contact. A come here-go away dilemma. Do you trust your gut intuition? Or your coolly intellectual head? Obviously the healing is in the mind-body connection. You’ve been learning that your body serves your mind, not the other way around. “Spiritual evolution occurs as the result of removing obstacles, and not actually acquiring anything new.” David R. Hawkins
PISCES ☀ (February 19-March 20)
Joy is an attribute of being in the presence of love.
Even though Shakespeare’s “neither a borrower nor a lender be” monologue was intended as spoof on a pontificating father, he may have been thinking of people who have the god of lightning in their house of money, as you do now (temporarily). You’re not interested in being very practical with your resources right now, perhaps doing some impulse buying. But at the same time, you can make money in unusual ways and through using some of your more off-beat ideas. Meanwhile, Powerful Pluto has been helping you from successful partnerships because you’re more willing than usual to cooperate with others. So your formula for success is the integration of your unusual ideas with a partner who’s willing to help you.
“Behind all of the “I can’ts” are merely “I won’ts.” The “I won’ts” mean “I am afraid to” or “I am ashamed to” or “I have too much pride to try, for fear I might fail.” David R. Hawkins
