God The Mother, the Winter of the 21st Century, and a View Beyond 2012

by Robert Wilkinson

In a recent article, we began to explore the concept that each century has 4 seasons of 25 years each, and that 2012 is merely the midpoint of the Winter of the 21st century, with Spring approaching in 2025. Interestingly, that’s the year when Pluto enters Aquarius.

Each century has a unique quality, and today we'll explore some ways we can understand the larger sweep of history as we stand on the cusp of the future. First, remember that “human time” is much different than “planetary time,” as well as “galactic time.” The process of human evolution is not a short term thing, nor is the transition from one Great Age to another.

Ultimately, across the great waves of human evolution we find there are ever-vaster fields of energies, global, galactic, and beyond. The process of discovering these leads us to greater awareness of the life that’s all around us, and each successive era brings forth its own unique conception of what we call "God," which is beyond description, but not beyond experiencing.

We can get a sense of the larger cycles of evolution through our understanding of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, but now we are on the threshold of discovering there is also another, even vaster powerful force in which we live, breathe, and have our being. This vaster energy field is known as "Transpluto," or Percephone.

As I noted in the last article, I call it "Divine Mother" energy, the natural complement and mate-energy to balance the power of Pluto. While Uranus dances with Neptune, Pluto dances with Percephone.

Rudhyar believed that each of the past three centuries fulfilled the symbology of the outer planet discovered in that century. That implies this century belongs to Divine Mother. To understand these vaster tides of global development, it may be useful to reconsider some ideas I’ve been discussing for a while regarding the larger on-going evolutionary wave.

The first 25 years of this century, aka the "Winter" of the 21st century, is dominated by Pluto in the last half of Sagittarius and the entire sign of Capricorn. The midpoint of this larger season is 2012, after which we will approach the 25 years of Spring beginning with Pluto's entry into Aquarius in 2025.

In recent years we have had some very dynamic aspects going on between the Invisible Triad and Saturn, the keeper of time and sculptor of forms. This will continue for several years to come, and is indicative of the larger forces of change colliding with the inertial patterns of the old era.

This “Winter” has already been dominated by many oppositions. Saturn anchors in form whatever Spiritual awakenings are symbolized by Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Saturn was opposed Neptune 2005-2007, and opposed to Uranus from then to June 2011, except for three periods: February-August 2008, November 2009-February 2010, and October 2010-April 2011.

Long time readers will recall I termed this opposition “the Cosmic Centrifuge,” where we all were spun away from some things and people and spun toward others. We all experienced major purifications, and the centrifuge analogy accurately describes the process.

At key moments we were flung away from old patterns, with dense particulates in our lives sent to the bottom of the centrifuge while the lighter, purer, clearer life substances were left at the top to be poured off into new “life containers.” This led to us being spun again and again until all dense matter no longer relevant or useful to our evolution was taken out of the “solution of our Being.”

The period of polarization between Saturn and Uranus lasted about 3 years, and there are numerous articles in the archives explaining how that “clash of the titans” worked for each sign. Adding to the generic tension and friction were key squares from both Saturn and Uranus to Pluto, signifying the massive destabilization in our world and a radical turning point for humanity and our Earth that is reaching critical mass in 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015.

During the past 5 years Uranus has offered us a "walk with a Higher Wisdom" while giving us opportunities to show our world what we are able and ready to do. This "higher wisdom" helped us all to find what nourishes us as we closed an old cycle of manifesting our individuality or unique genius and opened to new worlds and ways when Uranus moved into Aries.

Neptune continues to bring us new emotional, social, and cultural connectedness, helping us sense how to manage these energies with intention and perspective. Over the past 12 years we have been building a vehicle that can demonstrate spiritual effectiveness in a balanced way, leading us each to a larger vision of the whole of things.

Now that Neptune has entered Pisces for many years to come, we are moving through a very elusive field. This is teaching us to trust our deeper vaster wisdom born of our experience, self-discipline, view of a greater interrelatedness in all that is, and genuine dispassion born of radical compassion for ourselves, others, and humanity as a whole. I elaborated on this Piscean energy field in a number of articles on Neptune in Pisces, so please consult the archives to learn more.

When Pluto was in late Sagittarius from mid-June through late November 2008, it squared 2006 and the 2007 Solar Eclipse points. That was a final activation that shut down old ways, opening new futures directly associated with a new Galactic pulse since Pluto was conjunct the Galactic Center during 2008-2009. This new “Galactic information” sprouted by Pluto will continue to show effects for the next 250 years.

Aspects made by Saturn to Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto these past few years helped us deconstruct old ways of viewing reality. This cleared the way for new developments, understanding, forms, and circumstances connected to whatever we began to experience related to Pluto in late Sagittarius and early Capricorn when it conjuncted the Galactic Center.

Pluto in Capricorn moved our Fiery Spirit Dharma awakened in Sagittarius into the practical forms of Capricorn. Pluto is now well into Capricorn, showing the transformational focus on globalism and obsolete governments, ways of doing business, and the challenge of how individuals dedicated to new ways of living in harmony with Nature and each other can appropriately resist authoritarian heavy-handedness. This collision is indicated by the current Uranus square Pluto that will last through early 2016.

So consider this the heart of a major transformational period, challenging old Pluto in Capricorn patterns. We’ve had our dress rehearsals before now, and this is the time of decision! Many things may not make much sense due to the Grand Irrationality, but we have to do what we can to get through this time of radical deconstruction of old Capricorn forms.

The square from Uranus to Pluto will begin to wane in 2016, as will the influence of the Grand Irrationality. After that point Neptune will again begin to sextile Pluto, providing more harmony and productivity between these two vast energy fields.

As noted earlier, Pluto will stay in Capricorn until November 2024, after which it moves into Aquarius for its stay there through January 2044. Given that 2025 moves us into the "Spring" of the 21st century, it seems that Pluto in Capricorn is revolutionizing and purifying the order of things through radical transformations that are awakening seeds of the next Era.

We can take comfort in the fact that Saturn is now entering a long term period of making quintiles and sextiles to Pluto, as well as trines and tredeciles to Neptune. This should provide some degree of stability in the forms that come forth, even if they are Scorpionic and therefore more connected to elimination of outmoded forms.

Saturn in Scorpio should provide new magnetic structures so that each of us can be attracted to duties most suited to us while finally eliminating old stuck emotional structures that no longer serve us. Once it moves into Sagittarius in 2015 and beyond, the square to Neptune will open new doors of perception, new discoveries, new truths, and new laws, with these stabilized as Saturn makes its trines to Uranus.

The trines continue as Saturn moves into Capricorn and Uranus moves into Taurus toward the end of this decade, and that’s when we will see a return to sanity, stability, and harmony. The Grand Irrationality will be over, the Spring of the 21st century will be approaching, and we shall all see a new way of life as the Age of Pisces begins to fade into the rear view mirror of history.

Though we won’t slip over the threshold into the Age of Aquarius until the second half of this century, by 2020 we will all know the power of Divine Mother to be a fact of life. This is happening as we speak, and by 2000 days from now we will know it as a new reality. Old ways of understanding God will give way to a greater sense of compassionate connection between the Earth and all Her creatures, as well as humanity’s place in the vaster scheme of Life, Light, and Love.

Wow!
thanks for composing this piece.
Even with my rudimentary understanding of astrology, you mad clear as well as inspired, the spirit logic and intentions of what is and has been going on.

I appreciate your work very much, always. As you know, the past five to six years have been exhausting for those, like me, who cling, fear and try resisting what changes must take place.

Intellectually know what is best is vastly different than giving up familiar life patterns to get there.

Your Highness

When was the last time Saturn was in Scorpio?

[Elizabeth]

WOW...awesome...I look forward to the waning of irrationality in 2016 and the calming of things toward 2020. (plus the bonus of saturn).

I'll stay in the moment, as always, but it is nice to know that these crazy times will simmer down eventually.

Thanks for putting this together, namaste

Hi Sherry and Elizabeth - Well, with all the hoohah about 2012, alleged mass ascension on the way, gigantic collisions of space people all wanting something of humanity, I figured it might be good to offer my somewhat non-glamorous take on what I see happening. Those who are on track all seem to be awakening to Divine Mother, all seem to be developing clairvoyance and clairaudience, as well as some degree of telepathy (due to less density separating us from others), and on the whole I see the whole thing developing right before our eyes as the old systems die. While transitions can be exhausting, they are also exciting!

Hi Chickie - Dec 82-Nov 85, except for late Spring through mid-Summer 1983.
