Dear Friend and Reader:<\/p>\n

The last time there was a Jupiter-Uranus conjunction on the Aries Point — in the summer of 1969, in Libra (precisely opposite the Aries Point), we watched the stunning display of technology as NASA put men on the Moon. Everyone has seen those shaky videos of Buzz and Neil taking those first delicate steps on the surface of another planet.<\/p>\n

Neil Armstrong steps down the ladder of The Eagle to take his first steps on the Moon, in the summer of 1969 -- when there was Jupiter-Uranus conjunction on the Aries Point.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Now in the summer of 2010, which I have suggested is the anti-Sixties, we have another scene depicted on remote video<\/strong><\/a>, this time at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, only we are watching helplessly as mankind has reached the edge of its technological capability. Jose Arguelles was right: we have reached the edge of technology. We have created a problem that we cannot solve. Even if we solve it by August, there will still be many times the Exxon Valdez<\/em> dumped into the Gulf of Mexico, the Loop Current and the Gulf Stream.<\/p>\n

If we look around we will see many examples of the edge of technology: medical science can diagnose better than it can cure or prevent. We can create millions of tons of plastics that make us sick and that we don’t know how to dispose of. We have amazing cars that are not sustainable.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction is inventive, and in Aries it’s self-inventive. There is the promise of some breakthrough in technology, though we may not see it for a while. And on the Aries Point there is a collective dimension, where we reinvent ourselves and become something new, participating co-creatively with one another’s reality: or that, at least, is what the astrology says.<\/p>\n

One of the great conjunctions of our lifetimes happens Tuesday. After that, the next step is up to us.<\/p>\n
