Spiritual Astrology - Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto Pulses Define the 3-Fold Spiritual Field and Our Path to Liberation

by Robert Wilkinson

Today’s topic will take you some great places! The outer Triad of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto symbolize the Spiritual “pulses” that lead us all through long wave transformations, whether individualization, collective awareness, or purification ordeals. They are invisible, so they symbolize all that is invisible to our senses that lead us through circumstances educating us about what we can control, and what we cannot.

Each of these 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.

Because their transformational process works its magic on absolute levels, it is impossible for us to ignore these larger forces of transformation in our lives. Because they move so slowly, they don't go away quickly, creating long wave lessons we all must deal with. 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.

Since they operate on Transpersonal levels, they teach us the fallacy of believing "we create our reality." If Saturn is the ego's "Ring Pass Not," these Transpersonal invisible forces representing the larger spiritual Field are outside of the limiting, binding force we humans live within. 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. All of us are subject in our own way to the much larger absolute forces in play, and from our earliest childhood we know we are caught in patterns not of our making, and learn how and when to adapt to our environment the best we’re able.

Each of the Invisibles stays in a sign for many years, with the cycles growing longer with each planet outward. When these planets make conjunctions and significant aspects with each other, the entire world is impacted during those times as well as for centuries after. For example, Neptune conjuncted Pluto in the late 19th century, and these two are still in the early part of their waxing phase.

Uranus conjuncted Pluto in the 1960s, and recently finished their waxing square, creating a phase shift in how these two transpersonal forces relate to each other. Uranus conjuncted Neptune in the 1990s, and are now in the crucial semisquare of their waxing phase. As you can see, both Uranus and Neptune are in a waxing, or opening, phase with Pluto, as well as each other.

Each of these long wave cycles now opening will last for centuries. The next Uranus conjunct Pluto will be in 2221-2222, and that’s the shortest of these cycles. As each of these planets shifts from one sign to the next, it brings the next “color/tone frequency” into the larger spiritual field as the natural evolution of a much larger process of expanding spiritual awareness of “All-That-Is.”

This larger evolving spiritual field has its own independent quality regardless of where Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto occupy or are transiting in our chart. Our natal Transpersonal planets show us the larger spiritual field when we were born; successive generations and sub-generations are each born in that evolving spiritual field, with each sign naturally giving way to the next.

As I mentioned yesterday, I leave TransPluto in Her own realm, since Her orbit is about 660 years, a far vaster cycle and therefore vaster influence than any of the three we’re discussing. I believe She provides a much larger tapestry, and represents Divine Grace, and as such can have no negative or destructive manifestations. She presides over a vast collective redemptive process that is the next manifestation of our human understanding of “God.”

Because She is beyond even the three Laws, I believe all we can do to ground this greater part of the Spiritual Field is surrender to “Divine Mother” energy and bring forth as much compassion and forgiveness as possible in all our interactions. Mother wants no harm for any of Her children, and being outside the realm of Shiva/Pluto, Parvati/Percephone restores all things in the proper time of the season. Practically speaking, true forgiveness creates the space for Grace to manifest, and compassion links us to all sentient Beings across time, both in this world and greater ones.

Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto symbolize the Invisible Triad of Spirit that continually moves our personality “lights” symbolized by the 7 Sacred Planets. As I offered earlier, they symbolize the Divine Laws of Economy of Energy, Magnetic Attraction, and Synthesis. We can only master these energies of the larger spiritual field through the discipline of Saturn and the questing of Chiron as these show us how to express our visible planetary energies in the best ways possible. It’s all a grand experiment in us learning how to navigate the Spiritual Field and become it’s expression in the world in our unique way.

As we learn how to apply the great Laws, we find the Transpersonal energies of Pluto show us how to be economical in our use of energy, and the seeds of life that might provide us a fantastic bounty. The Transpersonal energies of Neptune show us how to manage our magnetism so we move through attractions and releases with grace, fluidity, and compassion. The Transpersonal energies of Uranus help us discover our uniqueness by our ability to synthesize all our actions, thoughts, and feelings into a personality that is perfect for us, and all our skills, gifts, and experiences into forms of genius.

As we learn how to discipline our body, feelings, and mind, bringing each of these into its purest, most aware and unique expression, we find we are developing a personality that allows our Higher Self to see the Way clearly. As we continue to integrate our lower self and practice purification, non-separateness, and creative genius, we allow ourselves to become adequate vehicles for our greater Spiritual purpose, which will play out via the Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto in our charts, as well as how we respond to the ongoing forces symbolized by the transiting Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.

All of this requires that we make our inner Saturn our friend, guide, and teacher. As we submit to Saturn’s power to understand all things, we gain wisdom by how we learn to shape our environment through our choices. Saturn teaches us our freedom to choose how we experience and respond to the circumstances that matter. As we elevate and perfect our responses to both pleasurable and difficult experiences, we become the grounding agents for the Uranian, Neptunian, and Plutonian energies in situations, bringing forth the best we can based in our skill.

Opening to becoming a Saturn-structured vehicle for the spiritual energies of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto allows us to navigate circumstances that once created fear and/or confusion. As we master how to bring forth various energies from the spiritual field in practical service to the greater Good, we find we have become part of “the corrective force of Nature Herself.” These topics and more are discussed in depth in Saturn: Spiritual Master, Spiritual Friend. The dance of Saturn with the outer planets helps us become masters of our destiny and find security in knowing we are living our Purpose for being on Earth.

As we learn not to take the larger transformational process personally, we lose our sense of separateness and begin to experience that our dance is one with the dance of the cosmos as reflected in the dance of the planets, both in our charts and unto themselves. So while we may not “create” the larger reality, we do “co-create” the local spiritual manifestations in our field of activity. These transform situations and lives, leading to a different future for all.

This relates to one of the tests of being human. We are here to learn to be consciously aware of the larger patterns of transformation leading us to our special Destiny and purpose, and then cooperate with our unique path to Higher Awareness by consciously shaping our responses accordingly. These will always involve the Laws of Economy of Energy, Magnetic Attraction, and Synthesis in some form.

So that we may have the widest possible effectiveness and learn all we can in the years we have here on Earth, we have to go through all the possible situations we can so we have direct experiences helping us see what works for us and what doesn’t, and how these change as a function of time and our growth. In the process we find sometimes we are bridge builders, sometimes we are renovators, and sometimes we are seed carriers, whether giving or receiving.

In the process of becoming liberated from unconscious actions and reactions, we must see 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. We must understand good seeds from bad, and regenerative forces from degenerative forces. And we must learn how to combine and recombine so we know what works well and what doesn’t, and what fits together and what doesn’t.

The dance our personality does with our Higher Self and Soul shows 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. We are Love, Wisdom, and Intelligence. These things are what Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto reveal to us if we open our eyes to their invisible blessings.

Beautiful, one of your finest. Thank you. Uranus, Neptune, Saturn are as it says in "A Treatise on Cosmic Fire", concerned only with with egos who are on the Path, and are therefore group active." These planets are synthesising, "they are the 'reaping' planets." Many on Earth are working with the group soul and drawing upon the Avater of Synthesis on the higher mental plane. Also in TCF [p.378]Sirius is influencing our entire system via these 3 planets. "Saturn being the focal point for the transmission of cosmic manas to the entire seven schemes." At the 4th gate, Saturn brings about the change and revelation that enables the "beneficent organisation" of Uranus at the 5th which permits the intitate to "escape off the wheel and then can truly live." [Esoteric Astrology p.71] It seem that many have escaped but chosen to live within the sphere of Saturn to bring in the energies of Sirius. Saturn is now in Capricorn and Master E.K.says in "Spritiual Astrology" that "In Capricorn, man is bestowed with a consciousness having its centre as the Hierarchy. Christ rose to that level and he played his role of the Saviour under the highest inflence of Saturn." What is not to love about Saturn?

Thanks, Robert. As one whose natal Pluto is now opposed by the transiting Pluto, whose Neptune opposition has completed in the last year, and whose natal Uranus has completed a journey around the chart in the last couple years.... my thanks. It's good to be reminded that no control is possible and yet one continues to learn more about the energies and how they play out in one's life.

Now that Saturn is working on it's third return...I feel the field Uranus, Neptune and Pluto have created, and an impetus to a new kind of self grounding.

Presently, I am pondering for the first time, the role of the Solar Angels in all these transitions. Care to comment?

A great post that teaches and clarifies many aspects and they can also meander into other astrological and life aspects, both for the individual and humanity.
Your book on Saturn "Saturn Spiritual Master, Spiritual Friend" is a great linking source to understand and use these energies or consciousness levels.
Many thanks Robert!
