Revolutionary Change & Social Political Transformation
Uranus in Aries Squares Pluto in Capricorn
“A great revolution in just one single individual will help achieve a change in the destiny of a society and, further, will enable a change in the destiny of humankind.” ~Daisaku Ikeda
Uranus in Aries is making it’s final of seven exact square aspects to Pluto in Capricorn in March (exact dates below). The science of Astrology is the study and observation of planetary cycles and history has revealed that the two slow-moving outer planets—Uranus and Pluto—coincide with unprecedented planetary change and social transformation.
Many Astrologers are predicting that this current series of Uranus-Pluto squares will echo the great depression, social political upheaval, and the technological advancements that occurred during the last 1932-1934 Uranus-Pluto square cycle.
Uranus is the futuristic planet associated with liberation, radical unprecedented change, revolutions, inventions, technology, and awakening. Pluto represents evolution, destruction, deep transformation, and regeneration. Uranus is in Aries—the “take-action” warrior archetype and Pluto is in Capricorn—the sign correlating with social political structures. These potent Uranian and Plutonian archtypal themes will enccourage complacent peoples of grossly imbalanced hierarchical goverments to “wake-up” and demand revolutionary change.
On an individual level these aspects are occurring somewhere within our horoscopes. Therefore, it points to deep internal and external change and transformation in that area. This is a significant and important time to look at the outmoded structures in your life and set intentions to take action and create radical change that will serve you in the future.
Pay special attention to this final culminating aspect as it is sure to be filled with potent revelations! Take this important opportunity in our history, to awaken, rebel against, and transform anything that does not bring liberation to yourself and all sentient beings. We are all being asked to tear down outmoded structures in our personal lives so we can transform individually and therefore collectively. This final culminating aspect will prove a powerful catalyst as we dismantle the barriers that have kept us stuck and unable to move forward. Many of us dislike change and this potent energy is certainly bound to feel uncomfortable at times. For this reason, it can be helpful to remember that Uranus is futuristic in nature and creates iluuminating awareness, thereby expanding our own personal future and the future of our planet. Embrace this final cycle as an important opportunity to transform and create the necessary change for yourself and all life on our beautiful planet.

15 Degrees and 44 Minutes of Gemini
The entire transit will last six-hours and thirty- one minutes and will be visible from eastern Asia, eastern Australia, New Zealand and the western Pacific, as well as Alaska, northern Canada and almost all of Greenland.
The May 20 “Ring of Fire” Solar Eclipse was a spectacular astronomical event that left viewers in awe of our solar system’s cycles. 2012—a year chock full of Astro-symbolism—will provide mystical seekers with the rare opportunity to experience the upcoming planet of love, Venus, as she passes over the planet of light—our Central Sun.
This rare phenomenon which last occurred in 2004 hadn’t occurred prior in over 120 years. She will not transit over the Sun again until 2017. These important Venus transits come approximately every 121 years and then occur in pairs with eight years separation. They always begin around the end of May or beginning of June (Gemini) and then in November or beginning of December (Sagittarius). The first of the current pair occurred on June 8, 2004, at 17 Gemini 53. Similar to a Solar Eclipse, Venus will move across the face of the Sun and block light from the Sun to Earth whereby Venus will appear as a black spot moving across the Sun.
The timing of the current Venus Eclipse is considered important because it coincides with the ending of the Mayan Calendar. In my 2012 presentation I detail how Mayan mythology indicates that 2012 will be an evolutionary leap for all life forms within our entire solar system. This evolutionary leap is referred to by Mayan elders as “The Shift of the Ages.”
The Venus Eclipse in Gemini finds its ruler Mercury also in his ruling sign of Gemini. Mercury is the only God that was granted access to the heavenly and earthly realms, as well as the underworld. This Mercurial Greek mythology is quite mysterious when we consider that the ancient Mayans referred to the Center of our Milky Way Galaxy as their underworld and the Gateway of the Gods. The underworld in Mayan mythology was considered to be their “road to awe” because they believed that death was in fact the transition to life.
Venus was intrinsically sacred to the Mayans, and they believed she was the companion to the Sun. The Sun is worshiped in spiritual practices and is considered to be the vehicle to enlightenment. The Mayans both revered and feared Venus. They built temples aligned to key phases in her cycle whereby they calculated and watched for the return of “the bringer of light”—their Sun God Quetzalcoatl. In fact, the return of Quetzalcoatl is expected by the Mayans during 2012. Among other things, Quetzalcoatl also represents the savior of humanity and integration of opposites, and many today refer to him as the bringer of Christ consciousness.
Each of us in our own way is experiencing Quetzalcoatl’s return as we become aware of the “Christ consciousness” or light within. We are shifting our perceptions of the divine and realizing that divinity does not exist solely outside of us as something or someone to be worshiped; rather, it is eternally present within all of life and simultaneously waiting to be acknowledged and awakened. In many spiritual teachings, such as the Mayan’s, the Sun’s domain is to help awaken humanity. In fact there is now daily evidence of unprecedented change occurring on our Central Sun during this time period. As our Sun goes through this great evolutionary universal change our very DNA is being altered and we are all changing and growing spiritually.
OUR WORLD IS CHANGING AND SO ARE WE! Based on past Venus-Sun eclipses, many are presenting this transit as a harbinger of fear inducing Earth changes. My previous article on the Lunar Eclipse describes how these cosmic energies deliver opportunities to break free from past conditioning and patterns. We are innately joyful beings and our future does not have to be a recurrence of past conditioning and unconscious actions.
Venus is the planet of love, peace, harmony and balance. While transiting through the sign of Gemini we are encouraged to seek balance and bring conscious Sun-light to all our thought processes and communications. Additionally, the Sun rules the heart and therefore I feel Gregg Braden’s below quote bears repeating during this rare and special transit, “The physical world is a reflection of our love and fears. If we conquer our fears only then will we be free. Catastrophes cannot occur if we are vibrating love.”

May 16-June 26 – 23 degrees of Gemini
Venus is the only planet (besides the Sun and Moon) that doesn’t turn retrograde several times a year. Instead, Venus turns retrograde only once every 548 or so days and will be transiting somewhere in your Astrological horoscope. This marks a significant period for all individuals on Earth because it will correlate to a period of time during which you will be inclined to reexamine and reflect on the overall nature of your reality.
Relationships, commitments, and finances will likely be on your radar screen now. During the Venus retrograde period you will find yourself reassessing matters of the heart and how you are managing your resources. The intention is to become aware of dynamics and circumstances that are no longer needed for your desired future. Anything that is counterproductive to your higher purpose or heartfelt destiny should become clear during this period encouraging you to take action when Venus turns direct on June 26.
Current intimate relationships may find one or both partners questioning how they feel about the relationship and wondering if their love or commitment is authentic. This Venus retrograde occurs in the sign of Gemini and is making a beautiful aspect to Saturn in Libra—the sign of balance within partnership. This energetic dynamic will provide an opportunity to communicate and discuss what is working in your relationships and to commit, recommit, or make necessary changes where needed. This signature also applies to our social and business relationships. Gemini is a mutable and therefore a flexible sign which lends itself to practical resolution.
Venus retrograde periods can bring past lovers into our lives or those we are karmically destined to be with. This is an important time to be clear in all your communications regarding commitments and financial decisions. Those of you with Gemini planets in your horoscopes are sure to feel the effects of Aphrodite’s planet the most during this period. That said, we can all expect to find ourselves reflecting on the overall nature of our reality. What do you need or not need? How are you communicating those needs and values?

Zero Degrees – 20 Minutes of Gemini
Visible in South East Asia and the Western U.S.
Eclipses occur in pairs every six months with this “Ring of Fire” being the first Eclipse of 2012, the second of this pair occurs on June 4. A Solar Eclipse occurs when the Moon travels between the Sun and the Earth and therefore casts its shadow blocking the view of the Sun from Earth. During an Annular Solar Eclipse the Moon’s shadow blocks out part of the Sun’s light creating a ring of fiery bright sunlight that will blaze around the Moon’s circumference. In fact, “annulus” in Latin means “little ring.” At its peak, it will block out approximately 94 percent of the Sun’s light, and will last 5 minutes and 46 seconds with visibility in South East Asia as well as the Western U.S.
When a New Moon is highlighted by an Eclipse it acts in a particularly potent manner propelling us to embrace change. Eclipses work on three levels: personal, collective and ultimately, the integration of both. Where there is inner uncertainty, an Eclipse will encourage you to seek clarity. Whereby most Eclipses create a temporary shadow, this one will allow enough light to more easily unveil anything previously hidden. Therefore, pay close attention to the revelations occurring in your life during this Eclipse.
Astrologically, New Moons represent new beginnings, and this New Moon Eclipse falls in the versatile and mutable sign of duality—Gemini; where the focus is on youthfulness, flexibility and communications. This current Eclipse is also occurring under a challenging aspect with Neptune and Chiron in the sign of Pisces. What does that mean? With their purifying and healing energies, we can anticipate eventual clarity that will allow healing to occur. Additionally, this Eclipse is conjoined exactly with the fixed star Alcyone which symbolizes visions, mystical abilities and ruthless judgment. Why do I mention this? Because it relates to the powerful and overall theme of this Solar Eclipse in Gemini: remain flexible, communicate with mindfulness, use discernment, and seek clarity in all matters.
Disruptions in the Earth’s magnetic field occur during Eclipses. Therefore, regardless of where an Eclipse is visible, its influence can be felt by all of Earth’s inhabitants. Because this Eclipse occurs in Gemini, those with Gemini Suns or Gemini planets in their horoscopes will feel its affects more intensely. This first pair of Eclipses during 2012 is especially important because they will emphasize what our spiritual teachers remind us is occuring during this transformative year–a collective human awakening to “truth consciousness”.
The Mayan’s refer to this current transitional time on Earth as The Shift of the Ages. And, these upcoming Eclipses can be harbingers of ever greater transformation and change, as Eclipses often coincide with unexpected Earth events, stock market fluctuations and political upheavals. On a personal note, emotions can become intense if they’ve been denied or repressed. New and important experiences or people can suddenly come into your life, and simultaneously, others may be removed. One thing is certain, changes are prevalent during Eclipses so try to remain flexible and try not to judge anything that occurs as good or bad.
The Sun symbolizes creativity, wisdom, strength and outward expression. It is the energy that gives us the confidence to plan for our future. During a Solar Eclipse it is especially important to remember that you are a solar spiritual being destined to awaken to your inner light.
The energies of an Eclipse can be felt a couple of days before and after an Eclipse. The ancient sages believed that Eclipse were a time for meditation and learning; a special time to honor the spiritual aspects of your life. Try to keep your schedule light, remain internally focused, eat only pure foods, and do not consume alcohol. The veil between Earth and the heavens is thinner during an eclipse, allowing you to more easily connect to the eternal universal wisdom that is your divine essence.

16 degrees and 1 minute of Scorpio
May will certainly prove to be one of the most potent months in 2012. May Day was celebrated as “Global Love Day” and this current Super Scorpio Full Moon will be celebrated by millions around the world as “World Liberation Day,” and both are followed by Venus turning retrograde on the 15th and the first Solar Eclipse of 2012 on the 19th—WOW! The last two cosmic events of this month are sure to unveil dramatic financial and social political actions which I’ll write more about in my next Astro-Gram.
The Moon moves into Scorpio at 7:20 p.m. PT on Friday evening, whereby many of us will begin to experience Scorpio’s intensity–externally and internally. This lunation cycle has the potential to unexpectedly illuminate hidden agendas and encourage long overdue transformation. If this is the case for you, draw upon the powerful energy of Scorpio to transmute and transform.
Scorpio is feminine in nature and symbolizes the element of water. Its spiritual essence is symbolized by the divine shakti—energy and power—which is recognized as the many faces of the divine feminine. In the Hindu tradition the divine shakti is known as the divine mother, the universal creator, destroyer of evil and sustainer of all life. Her many faces are acknowledged as Kali, Durga, and the only female companion of Lord Shiva—Parvati. The divine union of Shiva and Parvati is symbolic of the powerful merger of equality between the sacred feminine and masculine.
Scorpio encourages us to embrace the mysteries of death and rebirth. Cycles of darkness eventually awaken us to the wisdom of enlightenment that result from going deep within. If you find yourself stuck in a defeating karmic cycle or have allowed yourself to become disempowered in any area of your life then embrace this potent “Super” Scorpio Full Moon as a powerful time to shift and heal any self-defeating behavior patterns so you can transform and give birth to new, self-empowered and liberated aspects of YOU!
