Change Reflected Through Astrology and the Planets

The 3 outer Planets

The 3 outer planets of our Solar System are referred to as the transpersonal planets. They symbolize archetypal forces of nature, which rock the collective unconscious of all humanity.

All three outer planets are working to dissolve the collective false ego. Neptune works by gradually dissolving, like the action of the sea against the rocks. Uranus is the lightning bolt from out of the blue that shatters old structures, and Pluto is the cyclical process of birth, death and rebirth.

How the 3 outer planets are preparing the way for the Aquarian age

Uranus and Neptune are doing a dance in which each is resident in the others sign during the current period of the build up to the official start of The Aquarian age in 2012.

Uranus

Uranus the shatterer of the illusion of ego, the separate I, (based as we have seen on wrong identification of the consciousness with the mind/body mechanism) strikes like a bolt of lightning from out of the blue, breaking up all forms and structures not founded on the truth of Universal Oneness, the Unified Field of Consciousness.

Uranus transiting Pisces shatters all Piscean illusions, the web of deception and lies of the old hierarchical order, rooted in the myth of Separation from Source, allowing disempowerment and thus manipulation of the individual. Much of this manipulation has been maintained by fostering the illusion of an external God, creating a split between spirit and matter, God and devil etc. in which the body and its functions are deemed inherently sinful, i.e. sexual guilt.

From the Aquarian perspective sex is understood as a function of the body/mind mechanism, a biological program to ensure the continuation of the human race. It is neither good nor bad and sinful. Everything in creation is a manifestation of the One Consciousness in its universal play. All is spiritual. Matter is simply consciousness vibrating at a slower rate. Modern science now corroborates this theory and the findings of quantum physics merge with what the mystics have said for centuries.

Neptune

Neptune's transit by sign distinguishes each successive generation by trends and fashions.

Neptune in Aquarius right now gives birth to a generation of souls who are truly Aquarian and will go on to establish the new wave as they come into power in 20 years or so.

The Neptune in Libra generation born in the 40s and 50s were the flower power hippies and the motto was peace and love. They were followed by the Neptune in Scorpio generation who gave us skinheads modelled on Black Jamaican rude boy culture, which evolved into punk and the death fixation of goths. Neptune in Sagittarius gave us the yuppies and fast cars and jet set lifestyle, and Neptune in conservative Capricorn explains why the children of ex hippies wanted to become accountants. And now souls are coming in on the Neptune-in-Aquarius vibration, ensuring they will be way showers setting the vibrational tone for the next 2000-year period.

Pluto

Pluto, Lord of the Underworld oversees the cyclical process of death and rebirth. We are on the cusp of the death of the old age and the birth of the new age. Everyone knows that both death and birth can be painful. Pluto in Capricorn represents the total destruction of the old order and the political, religious, social and economic infrastructure. It is no coincidence that when Pluto went into Capricorn the financial institutions crashed, landing us with the present economic crisis.

Don't expect an early resolution to the global economic crisis. It is simply part of the death of the old order to prepare the way for the new.

Pluto in Capricorn is a 30-year cycle with at least 10 years of the destructive phase of the cycle to clear the board of the outworn forms and structures and expose the greed and corruption of the old order before the rebirth really kicks in. (Note that greed is based on the fear of not having enough and the fear of old age and death, which is a result of illusion of separation, the idea of being disconnected from Source)

Pluto is ruthless. Anything that is not rooted in the Truth of Infinite Oneness and the Aquarian creed of truth, justice, unity and equality of all humanity without regard to race, tribe etc. It has to go.

Open your eyes and you can see evidence of the incoming Aquarian ray everywhere.

America's new president Obama for example, embodies the Aquarian spirit of multiculturalism, transcending boundaries of race, creed etc. It is interesting that he is the last president of the old age and has the task to prepare the way in the four year build up to 2012.

Just as Pluto went into Capricorn the world witnessed a president of African descent standing on the steps of the White House, which was built by African slaves, a fitting conclusion to the old cycle. An institution born of fear and greed such as slavery, once sanctioned by the old political and religious orders of the Piscean Age, could never survive the Aquarian frequency of absolute equality and justice based on recognition of the underlying Oneness and Unity of all life.

Obama may be, as some claim, just another puppet of the old order (Wall Street), but his election is just the beginning of a breakthrough in awareness. CHANGE is the keyword for Pluto and Obama's motto is after all "change we can believe in". We all know it's going to take a lot longer than 4 years, but rest assured that the seeds of the next 2000-year cycle are being sown right now.
