A
forthcoming conference (Jan. 15) in Paris aiming to explore ways to restart
long-stalled Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts has placed leaders from the two
sides at odds. At least 72 countries are due to attend the conference on Sunday
in the French capital in an effort to lay an international framework for a
two-state solution between the Palestinians and Israel. But while the
Palestinian side has welcomed the French initiative, the Israelis rejected it
and refused to play any role in the meeting. http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/01/israel-palestinians-squabble-paris-conference-170112182139506.html
The Paris conference takes place just after the Jan. 12 Full
Moon. A chart for the Full Moon at Paris has the luminaries aligned with the
meridian and forming a Grand Cross with Jupiter-Uranus-Pluto. Evolutionary
astrologer Rose Marcus’ explanation of the Uranus-Pluto dynamics is relevant in
our present context.
Just as the rock that
forms over great lengths of time, by the time the evolutionary journey has
advanced to Capricorn’s third quarter position around the zodiacal wheel, the
conditioning patterns and the realities it has created have crystallized to
such a degree that consciousness is primarily resistant and largely
impenetrable. At this latter stage of the twelve-fold cycle, preservation is
paramount for the Capricorn archetype. Considering that which has been
established has required great labor over a great length of time, Capricorn
will place substantial value (angularity to Libra) onto what it has built, and
therefore it is heavily invested in maintaining itself.
When the cardinal
Capricorn archetype is animated by transit, a new level of preservation is
ignited, which results in intensified action directed to re-secure control.
Capricorn’s first impulse is to resist, mistrust, or reject anything new. New
initiatives (instigated by the angularity of Aries creative impulse) can be
initially assessed as confronting, threatening, and even hostile to the
structures and status quo that have been previously established.
The natural friction
between Pluto’s transformative process and Capricorn’s barricading impulse
facilitates an energy exchange between the two. When that which Capricorn has
held in check, (i.e. that which it has regulated, contained, guarded,
inhibited, suppressed, or resisted) is released, it is done with great force.
It can be radically so when extreme Uranus in Aries squares destructive Pluto
in Capricorn. This duo is most formidable, eruptive, disruptive, and explosive
of all planetary combinations.
Marking an essential
restructuring phase for the collective soul and for individual evolution too,
Pluto’s transit through Capricorn brings the conditioned consciousness and all
of its manifestations to a maturation peak. Pluto’s transformative mandate will
serve to create a progressively reordered state of existence itself. Countries,
borders, and geography will be significantly and forever altered; so too, the
political, economic, cultural, and societal standards that regulate common
everyday life.
How an individual or a
collective will respond to its evolution is in direct correlation to its state
of consciousness and the workings of its free will. When consciousness is
fearfully anchored, (Capricorn resisting Aries) the foundation is fragile and
insecure, therefore the new is met with struggle. When consciousness is
securely anchored, (Aries resourcing from Capricorn) the past becomes a solid
foundation to build from and the new becomes the supportive and revitalizing
tool of progress and positive evolutionary advance. http://rosemarcus.com/astrolink/pluto-in-capricorn/
With Jupiter-Uranus, the resonances of expansive and
mobilizing Jupiter and those of forward-orientated Uranus can synthesize quite
well and produce a fulfilling and beneficent outcome. They stimulate optimism
and faith in the future and opportunity for development and expansion. It is
therefore likely that we may see a breakthrough in the long running
Israel-Palestine problem.
