Long Wave Evolutionary Astrology in 2012 – Past and Present “Fingers of God,” or Yods, Affecting Almost Everyone on Earth

by Robert Wilkinson

In the last article we discussed the Yod, or “Finger of God,” being made between Mercury, Jupiter, and Pluto right now. I also mentioned how most of the people alive today have one or more Yods going on triggering these “expansion through sacrifice” energies in their Neptune and Pluto in their natal charts. This article elaborates on the profound effects these are creating and why.

Between 1942 and 1995 Neptune was sextile Pluto. These sextiles create potential Yods whenever a planet transits the inverse midpoint of the planets in sextile. So there are profound changes involving “expansion through sacrifice” for those with Neptune in Libra sextile Pluto in Leo (1942-1956; Yod focus in Pisces), Neptune in Scorpio sextile Pluto in Virgo (1956-1970; Yod focus in Aries), Neptune in Sagittarius sextile Pluto in Libra (1970-1984; Yod focus in Taurus), and Neptune in Capricorn sextile Pluto in Scorpio (1984-1995; Yod focus in Gemini).

Before and after these generations Neptune was/is septile Pluto, which anchors the Grand Irrationality. Planets in septile also generate integrated configurations whenever a planet moves across their inverse midpoint, generating double triseptiles. Similar dynamics also happen with planets in quintile, binovile, and square. However, the varying special configurations is an article unto itself. Today we’re mainly exploring the Yods that many different generations are experiencing as a result of past and present transits.

The Neptune in Scorpio group from 1957-60 has a Yod going on thanks to transiting Uranus in early Aries focusing their natal Neptune sextile Pluto energy. From June 2011 through March 2012, the Neptune in Sag group born between 1970-76 had transiting Jupiter making a Yod from early Taurus. And currently, from mid-June to mid-August 2012 the Neptune in Capricorn group born between 1984-88 has transiting Jupiter as the focus of a Yod.

I explained more about how this dynamic works, and its influence on those going through a Yod to their natal Neptune and Pluto, in the article

Astrology Class - Yods and Fingers of God at Work in Transits Impacting 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013.

On a final note, those born in the late 1980s into the early 1990s will have Jupiter making a Yod off and on to their Neptune and Pluto for quite a few months. This should help that group to get focused on how to learn more, or expand into opportunities, or open to a higher and wider view of spiritual or philosophical truths between now and next Spring.

And Uranus will continue to force individualizing experiences for those born in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Both groups should take any and all health precautions, adjustments, and disciplines needed to adjust to health realities presenting themselves. Though some of these may seem to be beyond your control, you can still make productive adjustments that will yield results down the line.

Many thanks for this masterclass article! Do you think the generation born with their Uranus conjunt Pluto in Virgo (like myself) will be triggered even more now Uranus and Pluto are squaring eachother? I see a lot of heavy karma beeing released right now concerning this particular generation. It feels like a strong urge to purify and empower yourself. I would love to here your opinion on that matter!

Robert..

being squeezed alright....

On Monday, I had enough of a certain situation,in a work scenerio...games, late paychecks, witholding of work and they kept happening, everytime I spoke up about somthing, that management didn,t want brought to light. As I faced my boss, an inner voice, message was telling me to be authentic in my feelings, and express them truthfully...as I was dealing with someone who was passive-aggressive...which I now see I had also been conditioned to be. I broke through an old behaviour, expressing true feelings, with the appropriate energy that I was feeling. I am no longer working for this company....I cannot work for someone who doesn,t treat me with respect, and cannot communicate, and he could not have an employee who wasn,nt afraid to stand up for herself...

A day or so before that I encountered somewhat of the same situation, power/control issues, but from a different source (family) and stood up to that also...and expressed what I felt...anger! and this person was surprized, as I had always run in the past. I faced him...and stood my ground. The interesting thing is...this person (Father) has the same issues...overly aggressive-hiding inner weakness...and he has been taken advantage of by others. I think at a deep level I have returned to the past to work this out with him to take back my power, but through the interaction...he will be changed also. this is a crossroads for us both.

I am unable to be an "actress" anymore...It is necesarry to be EMOTIONALLY AUTHENTIC, and not cover-up how Im really feeling....thereby the waters within...are clear, calm....and I can hear my inner voice with clarity...

A tiger doesn,t smile at you, wave you over, with the pretense of attacking you....he/she growls, extends its claws, shows its fangs, and lets you know, exactly what its intentions are...

people however may hide their real feelings...

This plutonian Cancerian has a natal Yod with Pluto sextile Mercury - and yes I am born 1962 and yes I have healing powers..-)And I have worked really hard with my "karmabusiness" the last months.

Thanks for this, Robert. I've been in the dark about my Yod and it's great to have some clear info. I'm part of the late 50s Pluto sextile the Jupiter/Neptune conjunction crowd. My North Node is sandwiched in there, too. The nozzle is Mercury at 2 Aries, just barely within your 2.5 orb. Also having Neptune oppo Pluto and transiting Pluto conj natal Moon, oppo Ascendant. Which is not going as badly as I imagined..(she nervously said). I'll also go out on a limb and report that Uranus didn't really bother me that much. It even parked/Rx on my Sun/MC 22 Pisc. Am I missing something, or maybe I should take my head out from under the covers?

Robert,

Love the blend of sophisticated technical astrology with plain meaning, and especially love the musical history and links. Your writings are unique both in breadth of aspects discussed and depth of material. My natal Pluto is 29 - 3" Leo (less than a degree conjunct my IC) sextile Neptune at 29 - 50 Libra (July '57 birthday) making the third point of my yod the end of Pisces. Is this why a part of me usually feels like I am just passing through waiting until I die and then I'll understand, or put another way, that no one thing that happens in life is so important that one has to lose balance or control and act badly because you didn't get your way? I read recently elsewhere that the sensitive point (my term) for the yod nozzle is its opposite point, in my chart being 29 Virgo. I am trying to understand what is the meaning of 29 Virgo for me (in my 4th house; close to the end in Tropical Placidus) Anything else you can add to that placement; or, in general, to the concept of the quincunx energy working out through the midpoint of the sextile in one's chart? Many thanks for all your illuminations.

Hi Robert, I'll give you some extra information regarding my post above. I am an Aquarian, born in 1968. My Saturn (8 Aries) Moon (9 Aries) both in the 1st house and Venus (9 Capri) in the 10th house, as well as my Mecure (1 Pisces) in 12th and Jupiter (3 Virgo) in 6th are heavily influenced right now. For me it feels like I am coming out of an egg, it is not alway easy, but it is really feeling like releasing lot of old karma. I mean a lot is shifting now. I am though rather unpatient ;-) Anyway, your articles are a real guidance for me!! Many thanks as always...Ilse

Hello Robert and All,
Regarding group 1970-1984 (Neptune in Sagittarius sextile Pluto in Libra)what if Pluto is not in Libra but 29 Virgo R (and Neptun 3 Sagittarius. So it's still sextile with orb 4s but what with this out of sign aspect ? Does
such sextile show "productivity and natural structural soundness" also?

And my 2nd question re present Mercury-Jupiter-Pluto Yod..... what if someone (I actually) doesn't feel effect of such configuration or it's not aware of it at the moment.....and after reading all this I think I should... specially if natal Venus & progressed Mars are 9 Capricorn (7th). I'll be gratefull for any comment from your side ( or Community ).Many thanks!

PS This is my first post. I'll follow your page for cca 2 years but never commeting. Anyway, great work. Thanks for sharing/giving us your knowlidge/time/effort :-)

Hi Ilse - You're most welcome. Yes, this Ur sq Pl is testing everyone's inner relationship between Uranus and Pluto. Mine are in novile, and I'm seeing how that's going on internally during this square. At least Uranus conjunct Pluto in Virgo is getting a trine from Pluto! Your group is extraordinarily powerful once the Will/Creativity of Uranus gets in tune with the Economy/Seed power of Pluto. Uranus making a quadranovile, triseptile, quincunx, or biquintile to either Uranus in Virgo or Pluto in Virgo will produce some fairly spectacular spiritual transformations, so you have stabilization and understanding from Pluto even as you will be realizing, choosing, adjusting, and specializing during the process.

Hi Wild Horse Running - From what you've been writing lately, you seem to be doing just fine in working things through so that you are in control of the vehicle rather than the vehicle taking you places you don't want to go. You also seem to be on top of the fact that pattern is everything. As we change pattern, we change everything. As we become true to the "real" Self, then many previous problems cease to trouble us.

Hi ull - Yods, when trained correctly, do offer "healing powers." Mercury sextile Pluto has a great ability to see to the core of things. Consider this a training/harvest/preparation year. Mars tuned your Pluto up the first part of this year, and you should be in very productive mode by September. .

Hi Mary - You're welcome. You're finding out that the big bad Pluto conjunction to a planet in fact can be great for shedding superficial things and getting to the core of your Divine Power. While it can get extreme, our lives here should be lived to the fullest. Actually, transiting Uranus is very favorable to both your Saturn and Uranus, which would indicate a highly inspired time of linking the traditional with the innovative across several life sectors.

Hi evan - Thanks for your praise of the work. Actually, the Spirit/Soul usually just observes the personality crashing around until we check out and remember the True Self. You also described how your Neptune in Libra works fairly well. You should have gotten a big dose of your major life lessons around the Pisces void between April and early June 2010, again in mid-August through late October 2010, and yet again in Jan through early March 2011. Since each sign externalizes through its opposite sign, then yes, late Virgo would be when you could see how well you learned your late Pisces lessons. Your most recent testing time was late June and early July when Mars went through that zone.

Hi Natasha - Out of sign sextiles make an "off set" Yod, where the first quincunx has a different quality than the second quincunx, creating a span of degrees moving between signs. More complicated and rich "expansion through sacrifice" lessons, since they involve more than one sign energy. Sextiles are always productive, and those that link elements not usually in harmony are good mutations. And if you put your focus on allowing yourself to know what a configuration is about for you, and enter into an agreement with your Higher Self/Spirit to show you manifestations, usually you'll see them pdq. Thanks for checking in!

[Natasha]

Hi Robert,
I've tought so...that would be "more complicated" :-)
Ok, I'll try to listen your advice....but it's not so easy for me to be focused ...lately :-)Thanks a lot!

[Ilse]

Thank you Robert!

[Evan]

Thanks Robert for the insight. Definitely been there in that crash and burning personality comet of nothingness without realizing or understanding at the time. Even coined the name 'watcher' for that part of the self that seems detached observing unemotional amidst the quasi-comic quasi-tragic unfolding and that remains after. I have definitely had events and growth pressure points allowing choice to enter in the times you've outlined, especially the first two in 2010. Now the Mars transit seems to be an integration into my being of what its meant. I guess I am really seeing how it is becoming not just constant thought but absorption into my immediate acts, a part of being integrated without intervening abstraction into thought. Many thanks,

Evan
