Spiritual Astrology - Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto Pulses Define the Spiritual Field - How Does It Work?

by Robert Wilkinson

The outer Triad of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto lead us all through long wave transformations. They are invisible, so they symbolize all we do not sense, but lead us through circumstances that teach us what we can control, and what we cannot.

They symbolize vaster tides of evolution, whether creative ideas and movements, larger connections between nations, races, and life systems, or the changes that destroy old ideas and eras, making the way open for newer creative ideas and movements. They eternally create, preserve, and destroy, demonstrating the Three Divine Laws in our Solar System of Economy of Energy, Magnetic Attraction, and Synthesis.

They work so absolutely it is impossible to ignore these larger forces of transformation in our lives. Because they move so slowly, they don't go away quickly. Because they work such long range effects, we are forced to take a different view of time, and what we can and cannot accomplish in any given moment given the larger circumstances.

They teach us the limitations of believing "we create our reality." If Saturn is the ego's "Ring Pass Not," these Transpersonal invisible forces are outside of that limiting, binding force. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto teach us that ego does not control anything outside its own limitations.

The outer Triad represent vast systems that were already in place before we were born. They symbolize those great Beings and movements that set powerful forces into motion across decades and centuries. Within these much larger absolute forces in play, most of us have to learn from a very early age how and when to adapt to our environments.

The challenge for we who would grow toward our higher purpose is to learn to shape our environment, to whatever degree we are able, by our choices in how we experience that circumstance, and how we respond to that circumstance. We can creatively shape our responses to people and the possibilities and difficulties of life. How we respond to life shapes our character and therefore our "destiny."

So we did not create the larger reality, but we do create our response to that reality as we encounter it. And yes, to some degree that co-creates a different future for ourselves. That's the true test of being human. To be able to perceive the larger patterns of transformation leading us to our special Destiny, our purpose, and consciously shape our responses accordingly. As we learn self-discipline of our creature, the Higher Self begins to see the Way clearly.

Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto symbolize the Invisible Triad of Spirit. These show us how to be economical in our use of energy, and the seeds of life that might provide us a fantastic bounty. They show us who and what we are attracted to, and why, as well as when the magnetism just isn't right between us and a person, idea, or situation. And they show us how to put it all together in a larger vision that allows us to remember we're forever free to explore the True, the Good, and the Beautiful. These things are what Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto bring us if we open our eyes to their invisible blessings.

In future Spiritual Astrology articles I'll explore what's up when the Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are direct or retrograde in motion, and what that means for us transformationally. We'll also check out some degree paths and patterns, aspects, and other relevant things about these invisible Spiritual forces that work upon us all.

Nice one Robert. Very timely, I think, for many of us. Many of us seem to be reaching a point where the thoughts you've written above will become very relevant to our individual and also collective journey.

[Nicolas]

Not only nice but peaceful too. The way enlightment comes showing its gentler phase.

[Radha Kunke]

Robert... at what point are these transpersonals able to show us "what's the point of it all?" ? The answers to BIG question "WHY"?

[caliban]

oh no, there's a point to it all, and I was just getting over that.

[Robert]

Hi Zephyr - Yes, I truly am seeing that the growth of humanity is vast, where we're learning to master "invisible energies." We must grow beyond the obvious into the subtle frequencies, since that's part of the powers to be developed as humanity evolves.

Hi Nicolas - Well sometimes it's a bit jarring, and often annihilates the past in a heartbeat. We can find some degree of peace by accepting what I term the Three Truths in Human Life, which I'll reprint soon. Then we can ride the long wave tides of change and transformation that the Outer Invisibles symbolize.

Hi Radha - Big question indeed. This is the first time I will have spelled this out in many years, and I will be doing some classes on this exact process beginning in 2012. It is where the Transpersonal elements of Astrology intersect with "the Spiritual Path" as it is known to every legit approach to anything truly "spiritual." The point of it all, the "why" we are here going through these short and long wave changes, is so we can consciously embrace the process of a series of Spiritual "Initiations." A simplified way of putting it would be first, personality integration; second, move consciously out of lower ego control into Spiritual Ego (Higher Self) in charge; third, move beyond the lesser fetters of a) delusion of self, b) doubt, c) superstition, all while getting a grip on the desire mind and working through past karmas to get clean; fourth, overcoming all tendencies to sustained toxic anger or hatred and attachment to sensations for their own sake, while eliminating ALL personal karmas by embracing, totally and completely to the core of our Being, the fusing of the heart and mind and allowing our Dharma to come forth, transfiguring our Consciousness and lives forever after. There are even higher fetters that the Arhats and Paramahansas must overcome, but that's another subject for another day. And ultimately, it is all to serve humanity as selflessly, lovingly, wisely, and intelligently as possible, as a unit of Light/Life within the greater Divine Love, Wisdom, and Intelligence. As we live the Wisdom, walk the Way, and embrace the Community, we fulfill the purpose of human existence, shattering the "heresy of separateness" forever, since from one angle, we are never separate from the Wisdom, the Way, and the Community. It is only when we are limited by the 5 senses and the lower mind that we are lost. The point is not to be limited by form, and understand that consciousness is everything, and that is never separate from anything else.

Hi caliban - Well, first we have to see that there is no point to our usual frames of reference before we can see that there is only the NOW, and we are Eternal. Then we get to figure out which Rays we are mastering to serve the greater good in each moment we live.

[caliban]

Rays, huh? Was happy to find some info in the archives as a place to start to consider "rays".
