Will Uranus In Pisces Be Our Nation's Spiritual Wake Up Call? by Cheryl Hopkins From March through December 2003, Uranus will make its transition from Aquarius into Pisces. In The Astrology of Transformation, Dane Rudhyar says trans- Saturnian planets "… operate through changes occurring in the society or culture as a whole."1 If a planet’s transition period is the pre-show for the next sign, then what opportunities for personal and spiritual growth as a nation will this next act bring? How might it assist individual processes? As a nation, we face several major hurdles: war; terrorism; damaged diplomatic relationships; an ailing economy; effective national security; an ailing healthcare system. Uranus in Aquarius was part of this unfolding. Planets symbolize principles and with other planets, probable outcomes. Uranus and Neptune in Aquarius and Pluto in Sagittarius has been the generational blend ripping through the veils so we can see what is needed for spiritual well being and how to get there. Which Way Will We Go? Uranus in Pisces will impact humanitarian and social values, mainstream healthcare, our metaphysical understanding, institutions, film and music, and oceans and the seas – to name just a few things. He will bring innovations, improvements and upheaval. As this is a mutable water sign, a higher comfortable level with knowing we don’t know what is going on may be a good thing. More of us will seek our bliss, be spiritual vagabonds and go with the flow. Personal feelings and intuition will be valued more than before. This will have effects that are both desirable and undesirable. That it would validate emotional and spiritual intelligence is promising. Our civilization does tend to worship the intellect. Adherence to religious beliefs does not imply spiritual awareness. Rebalancing these areas individually evolves our nation’s growth. The downside will involve the appearance of more wolves in sheep’s clothing and snake oil salesmen selling dreams. Attention and willingness to look beneath the surface of what arises for what it can show about self to self, is vital. But can we be unafraid of what is seen?  The Uranus into Pisces Ingress chart is erected for the White House in Washington, DC. Effects are already evident. How interesting is it that the U.S. became involved in a war after Uranus entered, what has been called, the spiritual sign in the zodiac? This transit will be the time of spiritual truths going mainstream. The first being, that with Source we co-create our life and our nation. There is practical logic then in seeing relationships as mirrors for what can’t readily be seen in self, as part of this process. The major contacts between the Ingress chart and the Gemini rising U.S. chart confirm that’s what this is all about. Pisces Sun placed in 8th house of transformation and rebirth is the focal point of a mutable t-square involving Pluto in Sagittarius and Saturn conjunct Moon in Gemini. The country’s identity and future plans are being overhauled big time. The chief executive mirrors this. We face karmic opportunities to purify the understanding of what is the right use of power and authority. Clarity regarding equality and value of all human’s worth without condition is in there, too. This mutable planetary picture has Virgo in 2nd house as the open end. Suggesting the way to handle volatile energy is with perseverance and flexibility versus needing to be right. Also, basing self-worth on discerning one’s abilities without demeaning another’s. The Ingress Sun, Pluto and Saturn, Moon conjunction straddle Mars and square Neptune in the Gemini rising U.S. chart forming a mutable grand cross. The appetite for war in the name of freedom won’t be short-termed. Cooperative and consistent allied support is a memory for now. The conditions and sense of security of the people will stay in long-term flux. Are our leaders insuring national well-being and security for the future with their choices? Will we become wiser struggling through this energetic chrysalis? Or create more destruction in our rebirth? We are choosing right now. In the Ingress chart, 12th house Jupiter in Leo shows we have stores of grace assisting our growing process. During this time we can envision our nation as always free and prosperous and make it so. That will spawn all forms of prosperity through the principle of like attracting like energy. Or we can be self-centered cloaked in false pride. Jupiter opposes the Neptune-Venus conjunction in Aquarius. At higher expression that conjunction marries elevated personal value with detached compassion. However, the opposition brings awareness at how extensive our religious, political and judicial leadership has violated public trust for their gain. This is echoed in aspects to the U.S. chart. Cherished beliefs about honor and institutions will be in question, disillusioning the public. Chiron in Capricorn in the Ingress chart opposes U.S. 2nd house Cancer sun and Mercury. He also squares U.S. Chiron and Saturn forming two cardinal grand crosses. The Ingress Moon, Saturn conjunction straddles U.S. Mars in Gemini joining the grand trine with Aquarius Moon and Saturn in Libra. Frustration at being inhibited in achieving goals is a vital teaching. Is authority and thinking advancing a harmonious future vision or pushing arrogant self- protection? In giving over our responsibility to our leaders to create the country and future we desire, we may get what we won’t take responsibility for personally. Uranus in Pisces squares north and south nodes in the Ingress chart. Our awakening will not be easy. Yet, in aspect to the U.S. chart, the North Node conjuncts the Ascendant, indicating we have created this time to be one of spiritual awakening to a new vision of what America can be. Our difficulty is seeing and accepting the challenges as both karmic lessons and spiritual teachings needed to do so. The Dark Before Dawn The future is not bleak. In working through our creations consciously, on an individual and national scale, new awareness and uses for our power can be found. In "Conscious Evolution" Barbara Marx Hubbard quotes Dee Ward Hock the founder of Visa, "We are at that very point in time when a 400 year old age is dying and another is struggling to be born – a shifting of culture, science, society and institutions enormously greater than the world has ever experienced. Ahead, the possibility of the regeneration of individuality, liberty, community and ethics such as the world has never known, and a harmony with nature, with one another, and with the divine intelligence such as the world never dreamed." 3 America is the great experiment designed to answer the question, "Can we all just get along?" History shows in civilizations known and speculated about we have to start all over when we forget that is the main reason we are here. Uranus is at the end of its trek through the zodiac. What happens now creates the new cycle in Aries starting March 2011. Will Uranus in Pisces, Neptune in Aquarius and Pluto in Sagittarius be the preview for what Dane Rudhyar says is, "…the ‘spirit of the time’ relentlessly pushing toward a truly new state of human existence, a state in which society and all collective factors are meant to be only instruments making it possible for human beings to take as their most fundamental and valuable goal fulfillment as individuals?"4 Imagine a society built on individuals consciously self-actualizing. Centered in a spiritually based sense of personal worth and responsibility. What couldn’t that nation do, be or create that can just be imagined now? May we all be blessed in the great finding out. 1 Dane Rudhyar, The Astrology Of Transformation, Wheaton, ILL, A Quest book by The Theosophical Publishing House, 1980, pg 72 3 Barbara Marx Hubbard, Conscious Evolution, Novato, CA, New World Library 1998, pg. 98 4 Dane Rudhyar, The Astrology Of Transformation, pg 74 |
