Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus: Part Five
Having a hard time sitting still? Feeling scattered and barely able to stay focused? Antsy for something new and afraid of what it might be? Redefining multitasking, as one mission morphs into another and into another? Or are you hiding under the covers until the air cools off and the Instant Karma climate moves to another location? Welcome to the brave new world of the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction, in Aries, the dynamic Sign of new beginnings. The only problem is what to start and where to start it isn't at all clear - yet. Or as one Aries friend said: "It feels like nothing is the same, but the newness feels too empty to feel like anything." I pointed out that Buddhists might call this sense of emptiness the "true view." And without hesitation she replied, "This ain't nirvana, baby." WellŠthat may be true. But this conjunction does have the power to alter consciousness, personal and collective, without the aid of psychedelics.
The exact conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus is already starting to separate. But because Jupiter and Uranus are only five or six astrological minutes away from each other, technically they are still merged at the same degree, and astro-truth be told, they will travel in tandem for quite some time. And just to continue on the techno-thread for a moment, Jupiter will eventually be within three degrees of Uranus, a distance some astrologer's would say is too far to be counted. But because it's Jupiter's nature to be expansive, and because Uranus, the original Maverick, always breaks the rules, I'm thinking conventional orbs of influence are suspended while these two are united. Translation: This intense combination is going to last all summer long and well into the fall.
Jupiter/Uranus contacts are notorious for the release of stress and strain. Jupiter is generally seen as the planet of great good fortune. Uranus symbolizes sudden and startling developments, and when they combine, there is often a sense that providence is pointing toward a positive resolution. We can only hope this applies to the situation in the Gulf, which from an astrological perspective can be seen as an aggregation of several astrological signatures. First, the spill started with the fourth exact Saturn/Uranus opposition, in Pisces. The Saturn/Uranus opposition symbolizes the dissolution of stagnant structures, and it's hard to imagine another kind of event demonstrating so dramatically the cost of our stagnant energy policies. Second, Chiron, moved into Pisces on April 20, as it left a conjunction with Neptune, in Aquarius. Chiron's nickname is the Wounded Healer, and often its presence reveals the schisms between material and spiritual realities. And third because Neptune rules Pisces, the Sign of the sea, and oil is also included within its broad domain, it is possible to interpret the spill through the lens of Chiron, which ultimately seeks unification and alignment with our highest aspirations.
While it's heartbreaking to witness so much destruction and to feel so helpless to effectuate any immediate, positive change, it's also heartening to see so many people offering so many ideas about how to stop the leak. From the perspective of a Jupiter/Uranus conjunction, in Aries, perhaps the magnitude of this disaster will engender a worldwide movement dedicated to ending the stagnant pattern of our addiction to oil, as it simultaneously motivates true innovation to meet our energy needs.
