Green explained this is similar to how we do not even consciously remember every single thing that happened to us yesterday, and our long term memory becomes even more imprecise every following day, week, year, and decade. I have immersed myself in the study of his work for many years now and have received personal instruction and teaching from him. This influx of new images and insights, Oken elaborated, is due to the fact that Uranus individuates and is the place of the unexpected where you do not follow the norm. Deva Green Evolutionary Astrology Home I am the daughter of world renowned astrologer Jeffrey Wolf Green who is the founder of Evolutionary Astrology. Today we will be focusing upon the archetype within human consciousness of individuation, deconditioning, liberation, and freedom from the known. But these are nothing more than conscious representations; it would be absurd to assume that such variable representations could be inherited. You may have noticed others, including astrologers, asking you these questions recently as we have been experiencing an incredibly intense time period of Taurus energy these past couple of weeks, but especially now. There are, for instance, many representations of the motif of the hostile brethren, but the motif itself remains the same. Green has written that the South Node of Uranus in Sagittarius correlates with the time period in which humans were nomadic, whereas the North Node of Uranus being in Gemini correlates with the philosophies humans created while transitioning into agricultural communities. Llewellyn. Todays eclipse correlating with greater awareness of spiritual forces is further shown through the Sabian Symbol of the Solar Eclipse at 20 degrees Taurus: Wisps of winglike clouds streaming across the sky, described by Dane Rudhyar as a sign that an individual who has taken a new step in his evolution should look for the Signature of divine Powers confirming his progress . Mitchell, Stephen (1988). Jeffrey Wolf Green in his system of Evolutionary Astrology connected the meaning of the South Nodes of both Uranus and Jupiter with the collective trauma that occurred in the transition of humans from being a nomadic, tribal people into the formation of agricultural civilizations. Both Jupiter and Uranus were retrograde at this time. This meaning is in contrast to the twin of Prometheus named Epimetheus, who was associated withhindsightand being anafter thinker because he tended to think about events after the fact, or lacked the ability to successfully strategize action beforehand. Dove of the Inner Eye by Morris Graves (1941). The astrology of the moment suggests we can be gaining a lot of information into the root causes of our current wounds this lifetime, no matter your beliefs concerning past lives, with the potential to notice how our perception of reality and our attachment to forms could be causing our suffering. Tarnas, Richard. In his Complete Astrology, Alan Oken noted that the symbol of Aries, the ram, was always the sacficial animal in ancient works such as the Golden Fleece and Moses. In contrast to the hedonism of his youth, he went to the extremity of abandoning all sensory delight into a lifestyle of ascetism, learning in the process that a Middle Way was the True Path. This can then lead to a crisis for the Soul, as the beliefs it has been following to gain a sense of security come into conflict with the deeply felt desires coming from within. Strictly speaking, however, the process of individuation is real only if the individual is aware of it and consciously makes a living connection with it. It brings up the question of whether or not learning more about how we have been wounded can even be useful. Similar to the symbol of the cross, the six pointed star meets in the middle, in the heart. In astrology, the age of 29 is significant for being the time of the first Saturn return, a transit that embodies the karmic meaning of this turning point in the Buddhas life. Alan Oken expanded on this idea in his Soul Centered Astrologyby claiming that this initiating focus of Aries makes it thebirthplace of ideas, according to the Ancient Wisdom Teachings, as all of manifestation has its beginnings as Divine Ideas (p. 162). Jump to . The first phase may manifest in many ways; perhaps through slow stages of progressive thinning out of the Saturnian shells so that these become finally like translucent window-panes through which the consciousness centered within the shells may behold vistas of the beyond. The Buddha taught the middle path because the self concept of being a somebody or a nobody are both mistakes, having a self-centered attitude is as much of a problem as the self-abnegating one (p.22). Health, mind & body. This attempt to control or manage what cannot be changed interferes with our going on being. Yet these long term memories remain held by Uranus, and a memory formerly blocked can suddenly come like a bolt of Uranian lightning into our consciousness through the boundary Saturn governs with our subconscious. For example, you may have been born with Jupiter in Aries in the same degrees where Uranus is currently transiting. Where do our desires and values come from? He must give of his own life-energy so that Mankind may be recharged by the force of life which the Ram embodies (p. 60). For some of us this may look like dynamic outward action, for others this may be an intense inner journey opening immense new worlds within: no matter the method, we must also be aware that we are only one of many in our collective, with a vision as important but no more important than anyone elses dream. The term archetype is often misunderstood as meaning certain definite mythological images or motifs. Just as the cross meets in the middle, the heart. . Ibis. Each time we thus reach out with joy, each time we cast our view toward distances that have not yet been touched, we transform not only the present moment and the one following but alter the past within us, weave it into the pattern of our existence, and dissolve the foreign body of pain whose exact composition we ultimately do not know., Rainer Maria Rilke (from Letters on Life, p. 7). Gary became President of the local astrology group in 1976, and they held a mini-conference in 1977. The connection to Venus can be felt in the sensuality of our flesh merging with the flesh of our lover, the scent of our lovers sweat, the taste of their skin. The long Mercury retrograde in Pisces combined with Neptune, Chiron, Mars, Venus, the Moon, and the Sun all moving through Pisces may have coincided with us discovering at least a hint, if not a definitive calling, from our Soul purpose in the world, the latent potential of a glorious mountain pine tree that could grow from the seeds of our current thoughts and desires. Things may get steamy, as this fire trine will occur within the dense atmosphere of Pluto in Capricorn and Saturn in Scorpio. Once we step into belief in the possibility of us having a soul, a soul that has had previous incarnations on this planet, we step into the possibility that we could be impacted somewhere in our psyche by events from even as long ago as when this bull above was painted on the wall of a cave. Since the full evolutionary arc of Uranus as revealed by its natal position as well as nodal positions in the chart also illuminates where we have experienced trauma, it follows that past trauma plays a significant role in shaping our Jupiter vision of life until we are able to process it and activate the freedom from the known aspect of Uranus developed in Evolutionary Astrology. (1984). Since this stellium conjunction also happened to be in orb of a square to Pluto in Capricorn, and also happened to form a yod with Jupiter in Gemini pointing to Saturn in Scorpio, the week of Easter this year has been fertile with fateful astrological energy. . Actual dates: Jupiter in Cancer was square Uranus in Aries on August 21, 2013 at 1204 with Uranus retrograde. In Jeffrey Wolf Greens Evolutionary Astrology, the purpose of experiencing disillusionment is to ultimately make it possible to align ourselves to a greater extent with the actual truth and meaning of anything. Alice Bailey, Esoteric Astrology, p. 380. It is fascinating that both of these astrological approaches have a channeled background: the Evolutionary Astrology paradigm as taught by Jeffrey Wolf Green originally came to Jeff in a dream, in Sanskrit from Sri Yuketswar, the guru of Yogananda; in comparison, the Esoteric Astrology material was channeled by Alice Bailey from the Tibetan Master D.K., and is currently being taught and made popular by Alan Oken and his work in astrology. Uranus being the higher octave of Mercury, and Uranus being in Aries and being triggered by numerous intense transits recently, it would seem we are in a period of time in which new archetypal ideas could be entering our collective consciousness. The term archetypes at this point in the history of astrology is usually tossed around by writers without reflecting upon the origins of the word, which in published authorship can be traced to one Carl Jung. We can further link this concept of being in the flesh to our thoughts and emotions, and indeed the sign of Taurus is connected to not only our physical form and sensuality, but also the crystallized form of our thoughts and feelings that make up the value system we live from. Linked with specific qualities of the corresponding mythic figures- the Greek deity Zeus, the king of the Olympian gods, the Babylonian Marduk, the Roman Jupiter- it received as well certain symbolic amplifications that emerged in the various contributing traditions: Platonic, Hermetic, Arabic, and Renaissance. When our vision of life fueled by the knowledge we are gaining from our personal experience (Jupiter) comes into conflict with the norms dictated by consensus belief systems (Capricorn where Pluto is currently transiting and the location of the South Nodes of Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto) we arrive at a crux in which we can feel judged, ashamed, and guilty or could instead rebel and individuate with self assertion in the direction of the vision being felt within. Rudhyars description of the Buddha in this Sabian Symbol is also a timely image for the current South Node of the moon because it brings a sense of an active warrior energy to the traditional image of a calm, peaceful Buddha- this is because we will need to actively move beyond our ties to past patterns of desire into greater freedom and a new life of meaning amid the flux of changes that will most likely occur in this time period of eclipses. Green's life experience is practically as wide as his vision. (1973). In this way Aries is linked to the initial impulse to emerge in the process of Individuation developed by Carl Jung, a transformative process in which we develop an identity of our true Self through integrating different elements of our psyche into a functioning whole and holistically healing ourselves as a result. Rudhyar emphasized that Jupiter cannot be interpreted separately from its relationship with Saturn, as Jupiter receives, manages, and initiates within the boundaries of Saturn. A.H. Almaas:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A._H._Almaas. The tending of sheep is important in all of the Abraham faiths, since Abraham, Isaac, Moses, David, and Muhammad were all shepherds. Have you had a nice conference? The work of Dane Rudhyar in astrology, who was also influenced by the work of Carl Jung, created a foundational understanding that Jeffrey Wolf Green built upon with his system of Evolutionary Astrology. For example, the image above is one of the most significant catalytic events in myth: Zeus desiring to possess the beautiful Europa, so transforming himself into a bull to lure her away, and carry her off to the land that became Europe. Like the many leaves of the simsapa grove, his knowledge far exceeded the handful of his teachings. Is this not the rhythm and movement of Scorpio? This is the shadow side of Taurus, and we can have karmic consequences for our possessiveness. As a result, the creative tension that is always part of the First Quarter phase would have been amplified, with old patterns of thought enticing us to remain in the status quo while simultaneously our developing vision would have sparked desire to establish new forms through which to enter into a liberated unknown. Unrelated to astrology, in the community college class I teach recently students have been creating projects and writing exploring what they want to attract into their life, what their current purpose in life is, what they desire to have in their life, and what they value. To quote one of my favorite wise womyn on planet earth, master herbalist Carol Trasatto, this balm of calm could be quite helpful in these intense days ahead. When Jupiter and Uranus come together in their cycle it can not only give one courage to pursue their ideal, it can also correlate to times in which ones perception is opened to receiving a message showing how the ideal will be achieved. In Evolutionary Astrology taught by Jeffrey Wolf Green, the cardinal archetypes like Aries have an energy of two steps forward, one step back. There is only a single, urgent task: to attach oneself someplace to nature, to that which is strong, striving and bright with unreserved readiness, and then to move forward in ones efforts without any calculation or guile, even when engaged in the most trivial and mundane activities. A few years later when we arrived at the crisis in action signified by the First Quarter square between Uranus in Aries with Jupiter in Cancer, we found ourselves in an extremely catalytic astrological atmosphere that also involved a First Quarter square between Pluto in Capricorn with Uranus in Aries. The fact the Buddha grew up in such a materialistic state mirrors the lower nature of Taurus, the side of Taurus that has a desire for material possessions that can never be satiated; the more it possesses, the more it continues to desire more materialism. Rudhyar, Dane. So what does all of this have to do with us today? As we have all collectively through ages experienced great trauma in past incarnations, this also serves a purpose of protecting us, yet there can also be a phenomenon wherein parts of us freeze as a result of unprocessed and unresolved traumatic soul memories. The individuation process is more than a coming to terms between the inborn germ of wholeness and the outer acts of fate. As we open our hearts and Higher Minds, we externalize those aspects of ourself which correspond to the Christ and the Buddha. It carries with it the sense of the unending meeting places of interpersonal experience, convergences that are not blocked by a reactive or contracted ego (p. 30-31). As a result of Pluto correlating with our soul desires, Green teaches that it also correlates with our deepest sense of security, meaning that by connecting with the sources of our soul desires, we can maintain a sense of self-consistency and security- so we tend to have a hard time moving beyond our desires as they are connected with our soul, our previous incarnations, and our comfort zone.
