<\/dt>\nThe symbolic implications of Venus, Uranus and Saturn participating to form a yod at this particular time are clear. It is time for you to participate in redefining the established order.<\/p>\n
Saturn represents (among other things) the established order in which you live, which is not necessarily a bad thing. After all, as part of the established order you are defined and sustained.<\/p>\n
A human being by him- or herself is a hurtin’ unit alone in the wilderness. It is through forming communities that we have survived to prosper on Earth. It is also through community that we have taken on the obligation to return the favors our planet has so generously and tolerantly bestowed on humanity.<\/p>\n
The Earth is an undeniably feminine entity from which life and nourishment emerges. Yet, relatively recently in the history of our species, something has gone awry with how the established order in which you exist relates to all forms of the feminine upon which your existence ultimately depends.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Over the most recent handful of millennium (which is only a small part of the time our kind has demonstrably persevered under the sky), human communities have increasingly been organized around principles hostile to and exploitative of the Earth and feminine.<\/p>\n
Then, during the previous time Pluto was traversing Capricorn (in the latter part of the 18th Century), there was a glimmer of hope, both on Earth and in the sky.<\/p>\n
On Earth, there initiated an age of revolution, when people acted in community in the Americas and Europe, undertaking to shape the established order as well as being shaped by it — a process that spread around the world and continues to this day.<\/p>\n
During this revolutionary age (in 1781), Uranus was discovered, demonstrating that there was, literally and figuratively, more to the order of our existence than previously thought.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The re-shaping of the established order was, alas, imperfect. For the most part, slavery was re-enfranchised, and women were dis-enfranchised as the resources of the world were increasingly exploited by a concurrent age of industrialization. Appropriately, Uranus also symbolizes unfinished business as well as revolution.<\/p>\n
With the discovery of Neptune (what some astrologers refer to as a higher octave of the ideals and values Venus represents) in the 19th Century, and its subsequent prompt ingress to Pisces, people acted in community to resolve the unfinished business left by the age of revolution. In the USA, slaves were emancipated, and a long struggle to win voting rights for women in the community of their nation was initiated.\u00a0Once again, the struggle spread throughout the world, and continues to this day.<\/p>\n
Then, with the discovery of Pluto in the 20th Century, an insidious effort began to foment industrialization and undermine revolution as the basis of what fascists called a new order. It was a huge deception, employing Neptune’s negative side, unfortunately also continuing to this day.<\/p>\n
Now, Pluto is back in Capricorn for the first time since the revolutionary era, and Neptune is back in Pisces, as if to review where we are now and reveal the interpretation of next Monday’s yod.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At this very moment of the 21st Century, we are compelled to examine what form of existence people in community have wrought in the present as emblematic of Saturn as it is now. We are also required to look back into the pre-historic past when communities were first formed around the values Venus represents. Finally we must simultaneously ask ourselves whether future human communities will reflect either the unfinished business or unlimited possibilities contained in Uranus’ interpretation. \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
We are compelled to examine retrograde Saturn as symbolically representing the established order, which literally moved backwards with last Monday’s Supreme Court decision disenfranchising women from control over their own bodies, and implicitly granting industry the right to exploit the feminine (which includes the Earth itself) with impunity.<\/p>\n
We are required to look back at the vast expanse of human history before the recent era characterized by open exploitation of women and the Earth. A history conveniently erased by the current established order, but nonetheless when people undeniably lived in communities, and when Venus represented the simple equivalency of beauty and truth as the prime directive of existence on Earth.<\/p>\n
We need to ask ourselves if we are willing to have the skies above our planet close like a vault rather than continue to open into infinite potential.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And you, like or not, are part of it. There are no sidelines to stand on. In this moment of your existence you are involved in a titanic struggle that covers the Earth and extends into the sky. At this time it is for you to choose what side of the yod you are on.<\/p>\n
Will you embody the equivalence of truth and beauty in support of unlimited possibilities for all of humanity, which the sextile from Venus to Uranus represents?<\/p>\n
Will you elect, while election is still yours to have, to put pressure on the established order (as symbolized by the quincunx aspects included in Monday’s yod: simultaneous separations of 150 degrees from both Venus and Uranus to Saturn) to define itself by the will of all of its communities? Or will just one highly exclusive community defined by the concentration of industrial wealth prevail?<\/p>\n
If you do nothing, or otherwise support the established order’s current inertia, you will almost certainly not be a voting partner in their exclusive community.<\/p>\n
If you don’t act in community, just as Venus and Uranus are moving to act in sextile, those who follow you will very probably live alone in, and have their very existence defined by, confinement in an industrial wilderness.<\/p>\n
If you\u00a0you permit the progress of recent centuries to be rolled back while humanity’s true nature and obligations to Earth are simultaneously concealed, the result will almost certainly contribute to the legacy of your life.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow and this weekend, the USA remembers the beginning of its unfinished business. No matter where you are, however, it will be your business too.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Next Monday, when Venus, Saturn and Uranus form a “Y” in the sky, billions in the industrialized world will go back to work. As you do, or even if you don’t go back to work yourself, please contemplate how your life’s work also entails something bigger. Indeed, there may be nothing bigger than working to assure the “Y” in the sky does not ultimately presage a desolate and despairing “Why?” in the throats of people who will follow and remember you.<\/p>\n
