The one you have been waiting for is here...
The signature alignment of the decade, (which you can read about here), the ongoing Uranus-Pluto square from 2012 through 2015, (which really became self-evident as Pluto moved into Capricorn in 2008, and lasting well beyond the last Uranus-Pluto square of March 2015), this emissary of the "end of an age and the birth of a new" receives a quickening caress from the Lord of Truth, as mighty Jupiter forms an opposition to Pluto and then a square to Uranus.
For the next two weeks you will pass through this bend in time, a distillation of the greater spiritual interregnum in which you now abide. It is a moment where the forces shaping your world will tilt at the windmills of the old, as emergent new energy-forms spring forth from within. It is a time in which those perennial and ancient truths are resurgently resplendent, their light piercing through and exposing the fetishes of worn-out and hollow dogmas, and the veil between what "was, is and will be", that scrim between you and the Greater Reality, will lift a little more to remind and reveal that you are what you have always been and will ever be, the Maker of your Destiny...
I wrote of this in my 2013 General Forecast:
The Great Cardinal T-Square, Uranus, Pluto and Jupiter August 7-21, 2013
In the month of August, coming between the two exact alignments of Uranus and Pluto in 2013, Jupiter will bring to bear a message from the Foundation-Source, the ever-renewing wellspring of life that flows from the sign of Cancer. Jupiter rules the Principles, Truths and Beliefs that give and form the meanings of your life journey, that form the steady guide for your self-unfoldment and purposeful growth. Jupiter is offering this spiritual message from the heart, from the source, from the roots of your life. For as you struggle to find your way between Uranus and Pluto, between Freedom and Order, between self-assertion and self-sacrifice, you will need this cooling, calming and refreshing reminder of what you stand upon, from whence you have come and what holds you true to one another.
Jupiter in Cancer serves to restore and renew your feelings of security that originate in your most intimate and profound experience that you are connected or part of something greater than just yourself. As you grow and develop, in life after life, you will find your own true center by being and belonging with one another. It will usually begin in your affections and bonds experienced in your immediate family group, and it will slowly and increasingly extend itself in any life, (and over many lifetimes, in life after life), into your ever-unfolding expansion of consciousness and spiritual connectedness.
This sense of belonging, of rootedness and security, expands from your immediate family outward to your village, and then perhaps it may move out further to a local area of several communities. Then it continues to grow outward even further in your belonging to some grouping perhaps grounded in your identity with an ethnic group, and then perhaps into some greater grouping of many ethnicities. Eventually you find an even larger sense of identity and meaning within an ever more complex culture and society, until you finally experience your profound familiarity with all who journey in the family known as "human".
This fundamental spiritual truth of connectedness will finally blossom forth, as you reach the "promised land", the profound spiritual epiphany of understanding that all life is one, all beings are one with one another, that everything in this cosmos is a spark of the one Great Spirit in whom we live and love and find our true being.
As Jupiter forms its Square and Opposition, it will bring to bear these influences upon the dynamic struggle of Uranus and Pluto. The challenge for every person and for all groupings of people will be to hold to the highest levels of inspiration that Jupiter can provide here, reminding one and all of their common bonds and interests, eliciting a desire for greater inclusiveness and generating greater considerations for the well-being of one another. If they can do this, then the struggles of Uranus with Pluto can be modulated and even mitigated by finding that deeper center where all can join together, founded upon these shared feelings of belonging.
With Jupiter's influence the fervent drive for freedom by Uranus can be soothed, with a gentle reminder that as much as you must assert and be freer yourself you must equally acknowledge your need to care for one another too. The Plutonian drive to create, maintain and extend your own sacred space must be equally balanced by the consideration you show for the sacred space of one and all.
But there is also the very real possibility of individuals and groups reacting in a more parochial way to this challenge, and out of fear-formed echoes of their past be steered by the emotional ties of Jupiter in Cancer to react in more exclusive or defensive ways. They will act more narrowly, and identify with whom they belong, whether family, tribe or culture by building walls not bridges and so create an even greater gulf between "us versus them". Then this opportunity for growth and self-transcendence could be lost in those ego-driven fears that have echoed throughout other historical periods faced with similar demands for self-transformation.
The challenge will be laid down, either to rise up to a higher understanding and conduct with one another, to make some mutual sacrifice and unite...or to face the divide within and between us by refusing to join in a greater whole, to give into fear and so increase those separations from one another. And this fear-based failing would most certainly quicken the descent to a more difficult destiny for one and all. The choice will be there, and each must decide...but there is hope...
Yes, it is from Jupiter's meanings as modulated by the Sign of Cancer that you can find the first of three offerings to help you navigate the year ahead. But there is much to be hoped for here, because Jupiter is but one part of a gift of inspiration and meaning that comes within a three-fold blessing from your Starry companions this year. For what Jupiter is anchoring and carrying forward to you in August is the meaning and message of the other great alignment this year, and which will most thankfully still be in force during Jupiter's August alignments with Uranus and Pluto...it is the radiant beauty of the year, the Grand Trine in Water of Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune.
So as the next two weeks unfold for you, (and for these many months and even years to come), you will find that within yourself and in the world about you there stands revealed more clearly the greater questions of this time...That as you consider what is for you more Truthful and Loving and Just, you will find your renewal in a remembering...
That as you reach within, down deeper inside to the roots of you (and thereby most wonderfully and mysteriously out into your Universe too), that there will be found in your Heart and Soul those Sacred Seeds of Spiritual Truth.
The answers to life's greatest challenges are there, held within your heart by your Higher Self, and these Intuitional-Knowings propel and inform your journey, they remind you from whence you came, of how and why you must journey...and where you will bring yourself one fine day...
...and you will smile, you will smile and laugh (and cry too), for it was The Way, it is the only way...For every Spark of the Divine must learn, through trial and error, through Action and Reaction, each and every must come to know and understand, and by their own effort achieve that Greater Awareness, to know and to choose what is Good...
To become a Self-Mastered Maker in this precious human time of your Spiritual Journey, to be fulfilled before the end of days...
Returning then with all the other Angels and Prodigals,
Bearing their Gifts of The Spirit, for The Spirit...
Back home to the Divine, one with the One...
That.
