Days of Soul & Circumstance

This is the end of the Pluto-in-Sagittarius years. From December, 1995 through December, 2008, Pluto passes through the fiery Sign of the Archer, the Man-horse who gallops beyond the limits of the past, out of the confines of the Known. On the edge of a cliff he draws his mighty bow and fires a flaming arrow directly at the transformation of our species. The arrow is the hope of mankind for our world to be better. Its flight marks the aspirations soaring through the collective consciousness, the yearning search for a new dream to replace the broken dreams of the past. For thirteen years the World Dream has been the target of the Dark God who slays illusion in order to rebirth truth at the profoundest level.

What does this mean to each of us?  How can we deepen our dream?  What old ideas must we sacrifice for the new?

Dare yourself to be different. Break out of the confines of what everyone expects. Prove the skeptics wrong. Crack open your disguise. Recognize that nothing on earth can match the deep force of your soul's hunger to live out your truest truths. Put everything you have on the line now for the sake of change and renewal. Cast your vote for the bright hope that the future can be better than the past. Release the rising force for liberation within you that matches similar forces rising throughout the world - a need to be done with lies and deceit, and get on with the business of change, the business of love and miracle and wonder. Here in the dregs of Sagittarius a great unmasking is at hand. Wherever your dream is crumbling it's in order to open the stuck gates of evolution. Wherever the old structures are failing, it's to clear falsehood. Wherever you're most dying is where you're asked to come most alive, on fire, seized with the creative urge to rebirth this world. A radical metamorphosis is eating away at the roots of Normalcy. A new vision is pounding on the doors of the Status Quo. The Gods of Change are daring you to get innocent enough to trust what your heart has always told you about who you are and where you belong.

In December, Pluto leaves Sagittarius for the rest of our lifetimes, and enters Capricorn for the next sixteen years. Sag is a fiery sign of imagination and dream; Capricorn, an earthy sign, the most capable of mastery, hardest working of all. What fire illuminates, earth substantiates. What the imagination seizes, the willpower makes real. What Sagittarius dreams, Capricorn creates. All children born in the next sixteen years (who will have Pluto in Capricorn) have one common denominator: A New World to build and the greatest ability to build it. A whole new civilization to manifest from the ground up. These junior world-builders need all of our support and imagination, those of us born in the end times of a dying culture, to point them in the right direction. Fire burns old growth and fertilizes the new. Here in the final stages of Sag it's up to you to dream the dream that will be the foundation of the future. Never mind all the so-called experts who say it can't be done. Never mind every reason why love can't flourish and miracle can't happen. A great liberation is at hand that transcends gender, religion and ethnicity. It's time for the human being herself to come out of hiding. It's time for all mankind to cast off the shackles of being so much less than we are. These are the days of soul and circumstance, where every circumstance is designed to release some deeper response from your soul, every challenge threatening to upend your life is daring the new to be born right here in the ashes of the old. The Old Powers are crumbling. Time is accelerating. The world is changing fast. What we dream here in these latter days of Sag will be the stepping stones for the next generation. Children who come of age in coming decades will inherit the legacy of the present moment.

We've reached the verge of a peak period of human attainment. We stand poised on the verge of a whole new world. Who are you really? What are you here to do? How much longer are you going to wait?
