The Missing Kyron/ Chiron

15 Tuesday Jun 2010

Crime, Horary, real life astrology

In Portland, Oregon a little boy, 7-year-old Kyron Horman, walked out of his elementary school’s end-of-year science fair and vanished. Let’s look at the chart for the time he was last seen, June 4th at approximately 8:45 AM. We’re asking, “Where is Kyron?”

I don’t mean to be glib doing this while the case is still so fresh, but the moment I heard his name, I believed there must be something to be learned through a chart of the disappearance. The Ascendant is 27 Cancer 09, just inside the proscription that the matter is already decided–not much room for change, only discovery. Kyron is represented by the 7th, which is empty and ruled by Saturn–and this matches at least a part of his personality, as he’s been described as a shy, quiet boy. Saturn is in the 3rd at 27 Virgo 51, suggesting that he’s local, close to where he was last seen, though if we renumber the Houses according to Kyron’s point-of-view, the 7th becomes the 1st, and the 3rd is the 9th, perhaps suggesting he is still on the grounds of the school, though it’s possible he’s actually far away, a victim of abduction (9th). The Moon, though, is in Kyron’s renumbered 3rd, bringing us back to the local, and the school, and it’s in obscuring Pisces.

His significator is in Virgo, the element suggesting that he is near the Earth, possibly on the floor, basement, or even underground, and Virgo itself suggests he may be hidden in an enclosure (a closet, trunk, or drawer) or in the library or near or behind bookcases or the offices, or the storage area of the kitchens–or in a tended garden area on the grounds, while the renumbered 3rd has a Pisces cusp, suggesting a damp area, or even underwater–a pond, behind pipes, near water heaters–but that’s not exactly tell-tale in Oregon. But in going back to the prominence of the 3rd, both in the original chart and in the renumbered chart, we must consider that he could’ve been removed from the scene in a car–and who knows, perhaps returned later.

Mercury is dispositor of Saturn, and it only makes two aspects, one an applying trine to Saturn, and one an applying conjunction to Sedna, perhaps suggesting he’s immediately ‘in the blind spot,’ but will eventually be found. Also interesting is that the Sun/ Earth axis is touching no bodies–extraordinary considering how many I use–but one, Zeus, and this ‘lit up’ implies the involvement of desire-Will and perhaps sexual aggression–so possibly a crime where opportunity met predation in a particularly unsavory way. We also see that the Vertex, a point of Fate, is, with one minute variation, conjunct the Earth, suggesting Fate, which we can perhaps define as something inevitable, had a controlling hand in this material outcome.

And what of Kyron’s namesake? Can it tell us anything? Chiron was at 00 Pisces 58 stationary on the way to retrograde, in Kyron’s renumbered 2nd. The 2nd is the House of Lost Things–is this simply an indicator that the boy is lost, after all, with no hope of recovery? Stationary might even suggest he’ll never be found. I hope not, I hope I’m wrong; with each hour that passes, though, it becomes less and less likely he’ll be found safe. Chiron was, in the end, a noble creature who, both in order to end his own suffering and to rescue another, gave up his life–I’m afraid the outcome for this case will lack those redeeming features.

15 June 2010: Beware the Ides of June!

Grand Cross, J Lee Lehman, Jude Cowell, Moon in Leo, My Daily Astrology Diary

No, not really–it just seems a little scary because there are a number of tremendous energies converging and shooting their rays at each other and offering themselves to us–if we can only tap in. The 3 AM hour PDT of the 15th brings the Leo Moon to the midpoint of the Mars/ Juno sextile (emotional illumination of the empowering move–we see, or intuit, exactly what to do); the Moon is also square Pallas (conflict between what we know to be wise and what we feel is right) and quincunx Pluto (the emotions may lead us in a destructive direction–adjust away from negative results). All this makes for a confusing time: we know what we can do to empower ourselves, we know what’s smart, but the emotions insist on a different perspective. It can be a rough call, but we really must stick with what’s wise, if we want to go forward with no regrets.

Noonish the Moon sextiles Mercury, allowing some relief as we get it all out. By 3:30 PM PDT the Moon quincunxes the North Node and sextiles Zeus, and perhaps we feel we’ve shared a little too much–innocent words may come back to bite us, via someone else’s ambitious machinations. So maybe the Ides are something to beware of!

The Leo Moon moves on, making no more major contact through the 15th, but there are many configurations active–just two things I want to mention: Grand Cross of Saturn opposed Uranus/ Jupiter–oye! This again–square with Pluto/ Ceres opposed Juno. I’m expecting these energies to perform specifically in response to the 14th’s especially fortuitous and revealing vibe, likely by bringing to consciousness precisely what material changes are possible, and pointing us in the direction of using (or acquiring) the power to do it. And the other thing: Chiron and Mars, still in opposition, may make some hesitate out of fear of hurt–the potential right now is for healing, instead, as long as we remain attuned to the info coming at us.

14 June 2010: Feasibility of a Dream

≈ Comments Off on 14 June 2010: Feasibility of a Dream

Tags

astrology, Finger of God, Jo Madeleine Moore, Matthew Currie, Moon in Cancer, Moon in Leo, My Daily Astrology Diary, the Magazine, Venus in Leo

First thing, let’s talk about the Finger of God made by Venus late in Cancer sextile Saturn, both quincunx Neptune. This prompts some dreaming, and shows us the way to make it happen. Take notes and tuck them away–you’ll go through some emotional revelations for the day that will give you perspective, and by late evening PDT you’ll have a full picture on whether making this dream a reality is really something both feasible and desirable at a personal level.

Venus slips into Leo (1:50 AM PDT) and breathes a sigh of relief; she loves to coddle, nurture those she loves, and relate emotionally–but oh, to be in a sign where Venus can think about herself, that’s heaven! The Cancer Moon trails behind, and the mood may be a little lonely–I was just following love, it was here a minute ago–and the Moon looks around and finds nothing with which to commune. Finally the 7-8 AM hour PDT sees the Moon sextile Sedna, quickly followed by a quincunx to Earth, and our unsureness about how we feel makes us question our circumstances. Rather than being too concerned with the literal situation, we might want to ask ourselves if our material surroundings are really nurturing for us–the answer will be information we can use.

But let’s take a moment for Venus. At 00 she trines the Jupiter/ Uranus conjunction and a quincunx to Chiron. Today may light up our Venus opportunities, showing us how and where to expand, bring forward our originality, and perhaps to create a relationship with the group. The reward available to us with the Jupiter/ Uranus meeting may be a combination of matters of the Houses these rule in the natal chart, plus an infusion of energy to the House where Venus is now; the only adjustment we’ll need to make will be taking the time not to hurt ourselves or others, and with some luck, we may be offered a way to actually heal what hurts. Examination of the possibilities ahead of time will help us see them when they show themselves; we’ll know these are important and so put our time and attention to expanding their effect as much as possible.

By the 5 PM hour PDT the Moon makes her final aspects while in Cancer: a Finger of God with a base of Ceres and Neptune. In this instance we could get one of several combinations finding an outlet through the emotions, or that can be dealt with through the intuition: nature may co-operate with imagination to create something moving; negotiation could work it out with ideals and allow emotional expression that may have been stopped up before; the maternal may indulge in fantasy that allows some emotional succor; something along these lines will come forward, then go in an unanticipated direction, as the Moon enters the Void, at 6:40 PM PDT.

The Moon enters Leo at 8:54 PM PDT on the 14th, and immediately conjuncts Venus, trines Uranus/ Jupiter, and quincunxes Chiron. This likely allows the emotional reactions to the day’s Venusian revelations to come forward. We’ll see how we feel about what’s offered, and what needs to change; we’ll understand just how possible that ideal, dream, or fantasy we considered is, and we can take out those notes we took, and go forward.

12 June 2010: the Gemini New Moon

11 Friday Jun 2010

Posted by juliedemboski in astrology, current events in the sky, New Moon

astrology, Moon, Moon in Gemini, New Moon, Sabian Symbols, the Magazine

The New Moon occurs at 4:14 AM PDT June 12th at 21 Gemini 23. Using our strict two degree rule, the Sun/ Earth axis of the Gemini New Moon makes a couple of minor aspects–but as we know, these are telling of the meaning picture we can expect for the coming Lunar month. First let’s look at the Sabian symbol for this New Moon: ‘Dancing Couples in a Harvest Festival’ http://www.cafeastrology.com/sabiansymbols_degreemeanings.html Gemini is the place for a twosome, alright, but for twins, related pairs, and the image brings to mind dancing partners, mated pairs, which implies opposites–and that signals we should pay direct attention to both what the Sun/ Moon aspects and what this pair’s opposite, the Earth, touches by aspect (normally we would concentrate New Moon attention on the conjunction and its aspects only).

The aspects directly involved with the New Moon picture are these: the Sun/ Moon forms a Fist of God here in Seattle with the Midheaven and Pallas. Since the Midheaven differs at any one moment by location, we must take this as specific to the North/ South axis along which a number of high profile enterprises lie, and see it as the possibility of the inception of something very public that involves commerce or guidance in some form, or perhaps an adjustment involving these (the sesquiquadrates)–and if we take guidance to suggest something like a search engine, then perhaps we’re looking at an announcement involving Bing (Microsoft) or Google, the Mountain View, California location of which shares the same Midheaven aspect, or if we emphasize commerce we may see something from Amazon (Seattle) or PayPal, which again shares a MC aspect at its San Jose, California location–or this could involve the major food producing valleys of California, since Pallas is involved with food as a commodity (and Ceres is in her own configuration at this time–see discussion of this, along with a lot more, in ‘What You Won’t See on the Blog’ in ECLIPSE http://dogandsunflower.wordpress.com/new-eclipse-spring-2010/).  All these are possibilities that could affect many or all of us in some way, but for all individuals, one leg of the configuration is defnitely in force: the sesquiquadrate of the Sun/ Moon to Pallas.

This Sun/ Moon/ Pallas contact suggests the need over the coming Lunar month to modify or otherwise adjust to what’s wise or, secondarily, what’s necessary to conduct ‘business,’ which in the end is just the exchange of one thing deemed worthy for another–and the New Moon nature implies this may be a ‘first time’ for this accomodation. The Sabian of couples dancing does suggest entities working together, and the fact that the dance (interaction) is at a harvest festival says that this is a celebration, of sorts, where parties enjoy reaping their rewards. So, perhaps this is the beginning of a personal harvest of some kind, one that requires some adjustment, possibly simply of one’s attitude or communications (Gemini Air) but that pays off, nonetheless.

We musn’t forget the Earth in our analysis; it shows a quincunx to Sedna (or ‘Sedan,’ as I keep typing it!). What is it about our material position that we just won’t be able to see? We can look to the Sabians again for assistance: ‘A Chinese Laundry’ Whew! What could that mean? And why a ‘Chinese Laundry’? Do they hold some kind of ancient Chinese secret? 🙂

No–at least, the Chinese haven’t, as a people, shared anything like this with me, but what this suggests is the kind of industrious and needed labor that those newly arrived to a place are prone to take up–and that implies that the new venture, occurence, or life direction we see with the New Moon may necessitate that we humbly supply what’s useful and needed–that we, figuratively or otherwise, be willing to ‘start at the bottom’ in order to succeed–and this may be the thing we don’t see, when examining the New Moon picture.

Aren’t you tired of me pushing my new magazine? I’m a little embarrassed, frankly, but I’ll say it again: if you enjoy what you find here at the blog, you’ll love ECLIPSE  Take it home for a pittance (a pittance that supports my work and is truly appreciated) and find in-depth articles (and sometimes topics) you’ll see nowhere else, as well as forecast information available only in the mag–Get it! http://dogandsunflower.wordpress.com/new-eclipse-spring-2010/

10 June 2010: Back to the Womb

Dark of the Moon, Moon in Taurus, My Daily Astrology Diary

Ahhh! Dark of the Moon! Roll around in it; don’t worry, you’ll get used to the feeling of weightlessness, the disorientation, the dream-like distance of objects, people, even your own thoughts. So it’s a Taurus Moon that’s now invisible and beyond our ken, and we’re in this lovely, dark warm, slightly moist, cozy womb, and since it’s Taurus, we’re likely surrounded by warm soft blankets and throws, fuzzy slippers, and lots of good things to eat–mmm, why would we ever leave? Well, it’s a womb, for goodness sake, can’t stay here forever, and besides, once the Moon hits Gemini, we’re going to want to have a chat–and there’s just no inviting friends into the figurative uti for a sit-down. The point is, in the time between just chillaxin’ and the gabfest, there are a few things that might sneak up on us, so busy will we be sorting out all the green m & ms, crocheting booties, sipping hot chocolate, and napping with the kitty. Such vigorous lack of engagement may leave us open to . . . well, let’s see:

Mars/ Vesta opposed Neptune/ Chiron=this can make us feel that our actions, or our egos, are sacred–and when confronted with genuine hurt we are causing, or injury to others’ imaginations or creative product that stems from us, or when we are challenged to bring our skills to serve our ideals, we may lash out, hurt, or deceive the individual who’s actually just requiring us to put down our pretensions and be our best Self–don’t let this be you!

Mercury quincunx Ceres=powerful words and thoughts may glance right off us; if we can stay as attentive as is reasonable and possible, we will spot these messages as they occur, and we will gain mo-jo as a result.

Saturn quincunx Neptune=reality and fantasy collide; or, rather, they can’t occupy the same point in space and time, and that means trouble. The remedy here is simple, and a rule to live by: be willing to see reality for what it is, to embrace fantasy, but never to confuse the two.

Juno trine Chiron and square Uranus/ Jupiter, all at 00 degrees=empowerment comes from being able to face our hurts without flinching, and at the same time recognizing that compliance with certain societal requirements are necessary for support of our empowerment efforts–we can’t go it alone, and pointless rebellion or overdoing will undermine our search for relevance.

And it may go without saying, but if you have natal placements at 00 of any sign, watch that body!

Thoughts on 29 May 2010: The Serious Beauty of Nature

Moon in Capricorn, My Weekend Astro Diary, NORWAC, real life astrology

Well, I almost went to NORWAC http://www.astrologyetal.com/NORWAC/index.htm; a couple of weeks ago I was totally up for it. I was ready to contact some people, buy tickets, and socialize. It certainly would’ve been great to hear, and perhaps meet, so many people I admire, and surely there’s a lot I could’ve learned. But then I hesitated, and when I hesitate I assume that it’s some part of me that knows better, that is telling me there’s something more suited to me–and though I’m enjoying the Twitter reporting, I’m really glad I didn’t go, as my day here at home has been wonderful, and all I really did was sleep in (dreaming about teeny tiny babies the size of eensy, shiny, white-curled shells, a human spiral) and then sit in the dining room where we have a big pine table and big windows that face the gardens, where I’ve watched the smallest hummingbird I’ve ever seen, a small, black-headed finch that lives somewhere in this corner of the yard–I see him all the time, and he even goes around there when I’m there, too–and the big black crows that love to bring bread to the stone bird bath and leave soggy bits in their wake. For me all this, the choosing of what seems illogical and even unproductive, over the logical and expected, is an example of how, even though there was something before me that seemed absolutely right (going to a professional conference), following my instincts was personally the ‘right’ thing to do. I try to follow my prompts every time they come forward, and I hope you will, too–it’s one of the most useful and Soul-supporting skills I ever developed.

Maybe my morning’s experience is just symptomatic of the Capricorn Moon’s contact to Ceres, offering me a chance to connect with Mother Nature. This contact, at 2:30 PMish PDT and lasting about two hours total, also brings a trine to Vesta, suggesting to me that this was my time of worship–and that others too have a chance to meld with what’s sacred to them, to enjoy home, or sex, or deep communion–not a bad way to kick off the weekend at all!

The evening Pacific time belongs to Pluto. In Capricorn this might bring forward intense but enjoyable times, as the emotional outlook of Moon conjunct Pluto is balanced by the Cap energy. Some serious (in the best sense) progress can be made in whatever area the conjunction occurs for you. A quincunx to the Sun 3 AMish PDT on the 30th (and see excerpts from ECLIPSE, below) suggests that the evening’s events will ask for some emotional reckoning via a reality check.

Starting around 8 AM PDT we have, in quick succession, the Moon square Zeus, conjunct the North Node and opposed Venus, then trine Mercury. This sets a tone of perhaps being presented with the obstacle to our ambition (or at least, being presented with how thwarted ambitions and desires make us feel), an emotional bellwether that gives a glimpse into the direction we’re headed, and just precisely what this may cost us if we continue (or bring us as a reward), and finally we may receive information or communicate ourselves concerning the life path, our options, and what we want. Could be a seminal moment in terms of re-defining ourselves to more readily express true intents and purpose. The rest of the day is dominated by this emotional scenario; use the knowledge that’s come forward, and the intuitions that have been offered, to make the most of things.

It’s not too late! Get your forecast for June and July, including commentary on the coming eclipses, in ECLIPSE! http://dogandsunflower.wordpress.com/new-eclipse-spring-2010/ Every purchase supports this blog and my work–Thank You!

Sagittarius Full Moon 27 May 2010: Cupid’s Arrow

27 Thursday May 2010

Posted by juliedemboski in astrology, current events in the sky, Full Moon

≈ 2 Comments

Tags

Cupid, Eros, Full Moon, Sagttarius Full Moon

Earth and Moon conjunct at 4:06 PM PDT on the 27th at 6 Sagittarius 32, and once again *sigh* there’s none of the close aspecting (major aspects within 2 degrees) that makes for a sharp Full Moon picture; we’re thrown back on the Sabian symbol for imagery, ‘Cupid Knocks at the Door of a Human Heart’ http://www.cafeastrology.com/sabiansymbols_degreemeanings.html This is evocative of Love, with a Big ‘L,’ that comes a callin’–for hasn’t the Roman version of Eros changed his image from a big, strapping, virile young man, doing his mother’s bidding, screwing up (by infecting himself with his own ‘poisoned’ arrow), and falling in love with the most beautiful mortal around, into a cherub whose angelic demeanor and tiny, heart-shaped arrows take the beginning of love from a compelling erotic impulse to a cartoon of harmless infatuation? Do I think the Romans ruined Eros when they turned him into an aggressive, banner-wearing infant? You bet I do.

Though, to be fair, I think Cupid’s sanitization happened well after Roman times, the damage began early with the separation of the erotic (which is the attachment of the desire nature to a person or thing–literally, their objectification as a sexual outlet) and the romantic impulse of attraction, which is a nebulous ‘specialness’ we project on another, and we’re still suffering the price, with the erotic impulse seen as both x-rated and completely separate from the romantic one in popular culture. So what does the Sabian for this Full Moon imply? It suggests that a romantic impulse, which is really an impulse to acceptance and openness, is being offered to each one of us. Considering that this is a Full Moon, the realization may be about love that’s been available to us all along and which is now culminating in our ability to perceive and receive it.

Moon in Scorpio, My Daily Astrology Diary

With Vesta quincunx Uranus and Jupiter, and all but Jupiter at 29 degrees, we’re having our values (Vesta) challenged–not directly, but obliquely, as we receive demands disguised as gifts, and others seek to alleviate their own stress (those 29 degree placements). If ever there was a time when one individual or group sought to use another (not necessarily in a demeaning or inappropriate way, but definitely in a way that petitions for your time or energy, piggybacks on your efforts, or seeks to trade on your name) it’s now. Don’t adjust what’s sacred to you out of guilt or a wish to accomodate–you have a right to say no, to keep your energy for yourself–it’s your choice, and neither option is superior, morally, spiritually, or otherwise. The transiting Scorpio Moon hits Pallas noon-ish today PDT and we can follow emotions to the wisdom they contain.

An opposition to Mercury 3-4 ish just suggests we keep our mouths shut, to keep the peace (do I hear protests? Some should consider that others knowing your every thought is not the gift you might think it is! Just sayin’–and this from a blogger! )  🙂

8 PM PDT brings the Moon semi-sextile to Zeus and sextile the North Node. Some may feel a tad threatened (or be threatening) without really knowing why–limit reactivity and you limit any chance of fallout.

The Moon’s transit through Scorpio is always one of those times when people are more than usually prone to act from the subconscious–so careful observation can help clue you in to what they’re really after (or in need of), and can help you see the message behind the contact.

24-25 May 2010: The Hitch in Our Giddy-Up

23 Sunday May 2010

Posted by juliedemboski in astrology, current events in the sky

≈ 2 Comments

Tags

Moon in Libra, Moon in Scorpio, My Daily Astrology Diary

Around 8 AM PDT the Libra Moon aspects both Sedna (by quincunx) and Juno (by trine), and that makes for an unusual influence: we are feeling emotionally empowered, and that means sure of ourselves, especially regarding our relationships and our aesthetics (Libra), but we may find we must adjust our feelings to accommodate something we are sensing but not able to pinpoint (Sedna). This can make for confusion and an unsettling fear of commitment; we want to be definitive, say ‘yes,’ but something is bothering us, and it’s no where in sight. Know that the uneasiness is seated in our fear of being blindsided; it makes us alert, but the only people who might find an actual hitch in their giddy-up are those with natal placements at 21 degrees–if these receive a hard aspect from the Moon (placements at 21 of the Cardinals), Juno (21 of the Mutables), or Sedna (21 of the Fixed signs), then you can look to this natal energy or where it’s placed for the ‘hidden’ source of your uneasiness.

The Moon sextiles Mars around 11 AM PDT and we have the energy to attack whatever we get in our sights–it’s our job to make sure that’s a goal and not a helpless bystander, much less a partner or mate–Libra inclines us to channel the energy toward those with whom we have a co-operative relationship (or those from whom we think we should get co-operation). We can get caught up in the ‘who’ of things and miss the impetus for action; try not to.

Before 8 PM PDT the Moon quincunxes Jupiter, making us aware of how we must adjust emotionally to the social scene, and then the Moon trines Neptune, inclining some to a perfect experience, allowing fantasy and imagination to reign, and bringing ideal situations before us; a scant few will find themselves deluded, fooled, or outright lied to. Again, the Libra Moon makes us hyper-aware of the others in our lives, and we can either let Neptune bring out the best or the worst in us and our relationships.

10-ish the Moon sextiles Vesta and quincunxes Uranus, and we may respond by modifying our wilder or more  impetuous inclinations in order to respect something we find sacred–it’s an opportunity to walk our talk, and we should take it. Void begins at 11:09 PM PDT. The Moon enters Scorpio at 11:17 PM PDT, and immediately trines Chiron in Pisces, suggesting this will be a healing influence for those open to it; for a few it will be interpreted as a good time to play the martyr or wounded one–easy to sort the positive individuals from the not so.

3:30-ish AM PDT on the 25th brings a sextile to Ceres, followed by a 6 AM quincunx to the Sun, and an 8 AM sextile to Pluto. This series of aspects sends the emotional outlook into a tailspin, as we try to do the right thing and yet find we not only must adjust our attitudes (unfairly, it seems) but that no matter what our choices are, they have consequences that are equal parts destructive and transformative. By 10 AM the Moon trines Venus and we get the pay off, emotional (Water signs) or otherwise–and what a long strange trip it’s been.

See the latest issue of ECLIPSE here http://dogandsunflower.wordpress.com/new-eclipse-spring-2010/ coordinated (with this blog and Twitter aspect influence Tweets) to bring the final piece to the forecast and current energies puzzle, ECLIPSE also offers in-depth articles on astrological theory and practice–only $2.95 every three months supports this new, exciting venture!

Uranus into Aries: What Does the Group Want?

21 Friday May 2010

Posted by juliedemboski in astrology, current events in the sky

≈ 2 Comments

Aries, Uranus, Uranus into Aries

As Uranus passed through Pisces, we spent a lot of time concentrating on how the individuality could serve the Collective; in fact, it became heresy to put too much emphasis on the Self. Statements of ‘I want’ were politically correct only when a want for the larger picture was included as well: “I want to be the next Lady Gaga, and cure world hunger, too!” Nothing wrong with that, just that we all began to sound like we were in the running for Miss America, with a lot of pressure to allow a sincere wish to help be almost our only public display of desire. At this time I’d like to blame it on Uranus in Pisces, naturally making the group/ Collective loom large in our consciousness. Higher Mind (Uranus) made us extremely aware of our interconnectedness (Pisces), and this was absolutely a positive evolutionary step–so what’s the next step, as Uranus enters Aries, the theoretical ‘beginning’ of the zodiac–and of course, hits the Aries Point, which has taken on almost mythical significance as a point of  extreme effect?

While Uranus was in Pisces, big goals and big canvasses were the style–we couldn’t just donate school supplies to the local elementary school, we had to gather money and supplies city-wide, then box them up and send them to Afghanistan–again, nothing wrong with this at all, but it’s precisely this kind of response to need, the kind and quality of innovation and progressive thought in solving problems, that I think will undergo a blanket change. With Uranus in Aries, the likely response may be that individual efforts will express a one-pointed group Will, and the effect will be that everyone must identify by their group and then assert their desires.

At first glance this seems terrible; the last thing we need is segregation by interests, financial status, nationality, or any of the other ugly ‘have and have not, are and are not’ strategies that have been employed in the past (and that are currently being peddled once again by Tea Partiers, among others). Yes, there is this regressive version of Self-motivated Uranian energy that will pop up–not everyone will lift themselves out of the mud, unfortunately–but I think the evolved version will actually be quite productive, introducing the idea of the citizen-soldier with the ability to lead the group as the identity of each member, not just as the identity of one or two.

This also might incorporate the idea of banding together without the kind of exclusivity that was popular during Uranus through Capricorn, where we judged judged judged other groups and drew strict boundaries according to some hardline Capricorn values. After the immense widening of our idea of the Collective of which we are a part and to and for which we are responsible in Uranus through Pisces, we come to this new stance as strong individuals who have forged our identity and can now act for and with the group without the need to close the clubhouse doors to keep out the riff-raff. Instead we are equipped to see to causes and forward the group agenda with the consciousness of Pisces as a backdrop, so that the individual Will works in tandem with the best interests of the whole–and the group identity simply becomes a loose affiliation of those with common interests who are equipped to aid each other, rather than a tight-knit circle that can’t see beyond their own noses.

Well, that’s what I think.
