When we hear the words, “I Have a Dream,” as spoken by Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.,\u0412\u00a0we’re not only recollecting the life of one of the most revered civil rights leaders of the 20th century. We’re hearing the world-deep echoes of the cry for justice, a cry that has arisen\u0412\u00a0throughout the course of recorded history.\u0412\u00a0It is the call of Uranus-Pluto.<\/p>\n
In “Epochs of Revolution,” chapter four of Richard Tarnas’ landmark 2006 book, Cosmos and Psyche<\/a>, he notes throughout the history of civilization, the few years leading up to and through Uranus-Pluto alignments\u0412\u00a0there were\u0412\u00a0great leaders and movements born for social reform and revolt against injustice: Spartacus’ slave rebellion in the Roman republic 73-71 BC, Harriet Tubman’s Underground Railroad 1810-1850, Thoreau’s\u0412\u00a0essay On the Duty of Civil Disobedience<\/em>, Gandhi’s non-violent resistance to British imperialism, and the non-violent civil rights movement in America in the 1960s, led by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.<\/p>\n Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman and the Reverend King shared a common theme in their birth — they were all born during Uranus-Pluto square\u0412\u00a0close to exact or within a 10 degree orb.\u0412\u00a0 All of them met their life’s work and destiny by the time Uranus and\u0412\u00a0Pluto were in alignment.\u0412\u00a0 For Tubman and Douglass it was the rise of the abolitionist movement and the Underground Railroad from 1845-56. For King, born in 1929, it was the the 1960s.<\/p>\n All of the efforts towards social justice, particularly those led by Tubman and Gandhi, as well as the writings of Thoreau and Tolstoy,\u0412\u00a0played a part in King’s early\u0412\u00a0studies seeking to find an answer to social and economic injustice\u0412\u00a0for African-Americans in\u0412\u00a0the\u0412\u00a020th century. These individuals were a focal point for social reform in their day. It’s no wonder\u0412\u00a0King found in them\u0412\u00a0an inspiration while studying as a divinity student at Morehouse College.\u0412\u00a0King, Tubman and Gandhi\u0412\u00a0were kindred spirits. I can imagine these books and writings in King’s study. It was Uranus and Pluto giving the lecture.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Social revolution and\u0412\u00a0reformation are the very signature of Uranus-Pluto\u0412\u00a0alignments. This signature\u0412\u00a0does not produce\u0412\u00a0flash-in-the pan revolts that quickly subside and\u0412\u00a0are easily forgotten. These\u0412\u00a0are enduring movements that reverberate across thresholds of generations. We’re still watching the effect of King’s legacy, yet\u0412\u00a0from a short telescope — 40 years in time.\u0412\u00a0Imagine being the Reverend Jesse Jackson, Jr. watching the next chapter of the American civil rights movement unfold, but instead of a hotel balcony, it’s from the stage he shared with Barack Obama on that November night in Chicago. One’s heart would be flooded.<\/p>\n King’s story is now a branch of the same tree\u0412\u00a0which includes Thoreau, Tubman, Tolstoy and Gandhi,\u0412\u00a0and\u0412\u00a0extends further upward, with a President Barack Obama, another one born during\u0412\u00a0a\u0412\u00a0Uranus-Pluto alignment, the conjunction of the 1960s.<\/p>\n The American civil rights movement led by\u0412\u00a0Reverend King, with non-violent\u0412\u00a0civil disobedience or “love in action” at its core will continue long into the future.\u0412\u00a0The effects of his work are still being measured not just here in the US, but anywhere and with anyone who has taken a cue from the Reverend King to create long-needed and long-lasting change. Who knows, if\u0412\u00a0Obama assumes a second term, what\u0412\u00a0might happen for him and for us and the world\u0412\u00a0as we encounter seven Uranus-Pluto squares starting June 24, 2012,\u0412\u00a0 Sept. 19, 2012, May 20, 2013, Nov. 1, 2013, April 21, 2014, Dec. 15, 2014, and March 16, 2015. What challenges will we face and how will we face them? Will we be fearful or will we rise to meet the road ahead?<\/p>\n The call for social justice and revolution\u0412\u00a0is not about the acts of a few small disparate\u0412\u00a0bands of people.\u0412\u00a0These are\u0412\u00a0movements that bubble and come to full boil, generated in and nourished by these two planets\u0412\u00a0in\u0412\u00a0alignment. As a child of the sixties, I can attest.\u0412\u00a0When Uranus and Pluto align, it’s\u0412\u00a0a vital, provocative and immensely creative time for everyone. You will feel the revolution in the atmosphere. Social upheaval and floods of creativity\u0412\u00a0in the\u0412\u00a0history of our world’s civilization\u0412\u00a0are written with these two planets as the pen.<\/p>\n As Rosa Parks said of her famous refusal to budge on that bus in Montgomery, Alabama, “I had no idea history was being made.” We too, are on the threshold of a great movement in time and the discovery of our true potential as individuals, as a nation and as a world in transition. We don’t know what we’ll create,\u0412\u00a0whether its history or not, but these years leading up to the next cycle of Uranus-Pluto alignments will invite us to walk, step-by-step, in the path like the one walked by so many in that other Uranus-Pluto invention, the Underground Railroad, to freedom and justice for all. Let’s make that ride through steep hills and deep valleys as bold,\u0412\u00a0powerful, meaningful and as full of “love in action” as we can.<\/p>\n Yours & truly, Dear Friend and Reader: Nov. 4, 2008.\u0412\u00a0\u0412\u00a0The tears streaming\u0412\u00a0down the face of the Rev. Jesse Jackson\u0412\u00a0told the story.\u0412\u00a0That night 250,000 people at\u0412\u00a0Grant Park in Chicago watched Barack\u0412\u00a0Obama give his victory speech as the newly-elected President of the United States. In Jackson’s eyes you could see\u0412\u00a0the mirror of\u0412\u00a0 history. Jackson\u0412\u00a0was\u0412\u00a0witness to the\u0412\u00a0nation’s struggle for civil rights\u0412\u00a0that … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"generate_page_header":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[36,1788,52,909,908,911,910],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9696"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9696"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9696\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9696"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9696"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9696"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
