This week marks the last time Uranus will be in Pisces until 2087. It now occupies 30 Pisces, a degree of archetypes and the power to make a future real.
As this degree has been triggered several times in big ways since April 2009, we've all been dreaming our future into reality through the patterns we've held in subconsciousness and the self conscious mind since then. These patterns became dynamized in May and early June 2010 as a visible promise, truth, or growth opportunity. We got a new view of the promise, truth, or expansive pattern in late August and early September 2010, with the ship of the future setting sail in January 2011.
Uranus began its final transit of this very important last degree of the zodiac in late February 2011, and is there right now, preparing to enter Aries on March 11, 4:52 pm PST, 7:52 EST (0:52 am Greenwich March 12). As Uranus symbolizes the Transpersonal Individualizer, it shows us how to use the power of "Divine Awakening" to individuate in ways that are appropriate to our Higher Self. Simply put, Uranus wisely used brings a creative energy that revolutionizes old patterns opening the way to a more unique and authentic individuality in us.
I've written extensively about the 30th degree of Pisces in the past, so today we'll revisit some of the key elements about this degree and why it's so important. At the end of this post I'll also include a link to an article I wrote in 2007 extensively explaining the quality and power of this degree.
The reason 30 Pisces is all-important is that it's the end of the zodiacal cycle closing the 360 phases of experience. Rudhyar says it's where we visualize the ideal we would become, and over time we will see that ideal made manifest in our lives.
In his "Astrological Mandala" he says this is related to our self-transformational ability that we manifest through cultivating concentration so that we can pour our feelings and will into a visualized mental image, or "thought form." This projects that energy pattern into time as a "formula" for future developments on the mental, emotional, and physical levels of existence.
As I wrote a few weeks back, elaborating on the long term activation of this degree:
Jupiter and Uranus have done a long term dance activating this degree in extraordinary ways over the past 9 months. Uranus occupied 30 Pisces in May 2010, and Jupiter was on this degree from May 30 through June 6, 2010. This was the "awakening and expansion of the dream."Then Uranus retrograded back across 30 Pisces between mid-August and mid-September 2010. Jupiter retrograded across 30 Pisces from September 9-16. This revolutionized the dream, followed by a new look at the truth of the dream.
Jupiter then traversed 30 Pisces direct for the final time between January 16-22. That was the time to use Jupiterian energy to finish up the image, the resolve, the commitment, the intention, and the willingness to live our Higher Self as we visualized it.
This is now being electrified by Uranus making its final pass across 30 Pisces between February 21 and March 12. As noted in that article, March 9th is especially important since Mercury conjuncts Uranus at 30 Pisces, where the "Guide of Souls" meets the expansive tide of Jupiter.
As the "Guide of Souls" coordinates and weaves our life affairs together, open to ideas and understanding about your dream being individualized by Uranus. Get clear about your thought forms, get clear about your future, eliminate doubt, ambivalence, and procrastination, and let the merging of the rulers of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces come together in a large view of what has ended and what is to come.
All that we've been dreaming will be vitalized by the Sun on March 19-20, activated by Mars March 31 through April 2, and mirrored into a self-reflective reality by Venus April 20-21 as these all cross from 30 Pisces to 1 Aries. Of course, by then Uranus will have moved into Aries, so the next few weeks will definitely show through some very dynamic shifts from the old to the new!
So through March 11 (12th if you're in Europe and points east), dream your highest dream, imagine an ideal you could become, and during the times ahead, may you see your life offering you many chances to become your Highest Self. This is truly the end of the end and the beginning of the beginning!
