Okay. Take a deep breath, because this one is a doosy.
First, there’s the Libra 7 Sun opposite Uranus Retrograde in Aries, which was exact yesterday October 3rd, 2013 at 7:12a PDT. The Libra 7 Sun has a lot of people examining their one-on-one relationships of all kinds and wondering, “What is this relationship/partnership doing for me? How is this helping me be who I need to be in the world?” Uranus in Aries has us looking at our individual expression, and as it moves in retrograde motion, we are being asked to ourselves and what it is we really want for ourselves and our lives and whether or not our unique expressions are being supported by the communities we participate in. These Sun and Uranus energies actually balance each other out, as this opposition helps use our relationships as reflections of our perspectives and approaches to relating to the rest of humanity. We can find our places and roles in the big picture of humanity through this opposition.
But then there’s Pluto in Capricorn, which is now squaring both the Sun and Uranus in a Cardinal T-Square configuration. This makes things VERY complicated.
Pluto in Capricorn is here to clear out whatever structures and institutions don’t produce results or achieve their desired goals. Pluto, the ruler of Scorpio, is about power and influence and it deals in extremes. Its all-or-nothing behavior makes for some very interesting dynamics when we are trying to balance our individual self-expressions with our community needs. As the structures that tend to define our roles, places, and status in society are being eliminated so that newer, better structures and institutions can be built in their places, we are being challenged to make our own way through these major if not catastrophic changes. The world is transforming, and we are being asked to transform along with it.
Therein lies the rub. For those of us who are resistant to change, this is a very demanding and stressful time. But just when you thought this couldn’t get worse…
…there is the New Moon in Libra later today, October 4th at 5:34p PDT. This whole dynamic becomes excruciatingly intense as our emotions get into the mix. Be ready for some serious wailing and gnashing of teeth as people desperately holding onto what used to be start getting their ultimate reality check:
Things are never going to be the same again.
This is “The Perfect Storm” – this is the one that starts taking down all the outgrown and outdated ways, and takes it all down for real. The damage that has been done is done. There is no going back; there is no taking it back. There is nothing that can be said or done to make it go back to the way it was. This is it. This is change-or-die time.
The sad thing is that so much of the pain and suffering that people experience right now can be transformed by admitting the difficult truths at hand – by admitting that the goals were not achieved, that the results were not what were expected or desired, or that the big payoff isn’t coming. There is much salvation to be had in admitting one’s own mistakes and missteps in actions and judgments.
In doing so, will things go back to the way they were? No. But will you be able to move forward from the reality of where you are now with clarity and honesty and hopefully integrity? Maybe. It’s up to you.
- How much are you willing to own up to and take responsibility for?
- How many of your goals and ambitions are you realizing are outdated and needing to be cleared away or transformed?
- And how much of your pride and ego-driven agenda(s) are you willing to give up to allow things to move forward?
This could be a wonderful time to create or define new parameters for relationships of all kinds. Boundaries can be re-drawn. Structures can finally be cleared for something new to be built. There is so much potential for healing so many people and so much in the world on such a deep and profound level. There is an amazing new dawn possible and under this incredibly dynamic energy, it gets to come when you decide to let it come.
Later in the day is better for making these connections, however. As the Cardinal T- square + New Moon effect really kicks in, there could be a major tension release…and even if it doesn’t seem positive in the moment, it may actually be a positive one in the long run. The partnerships that emerge from the rubble out of this frame of time will be mindful of the changes happening in each individual party/person, both of you as one, and how you each and both navigate these major changes happening in the world. You may also want to take note of the Mercury-Neptune trine that is phasing out this day as well – if you’ve been very open and honest and candid with each other in developing this connection, this could be the beginning of very beautiful new partnerships and a very beautiful new world.
It all depends on what you’re willing to admit to, own up to, and take responsibility for letting go of, and take initiative in changing. You call your shots. You get to decide just how quickly this change is going happen. Just remember – you don’t get to decide alone and you don’t get to decide for others.
Each member of humanity now gets to decide for themselves.
Thank you for reading and sharing Signs and Numbers. Until next post…
