You may remember that Jupiter and Uranus were conjunct in Aries back in late May and the summer of 2010, coinciding with the rise of revolutionary fervor in Thailand, Krygystan, &nbsp;Israel. &nbsp;This was also the time of the first big Wikileaks.<\/p>\n<p>Aries is all about self-preservation and self-initiation, and Jupiter&#8217;s entry into Aries means that it is getting closer to a challenging face-off against Pluto in Capricorn, where power (Pluto) is compressed and channeled through governments and corporations (Capricorn). &nbsp;The writing is on the wall, and when Uranus joins Jupiter in Aries this fever of revolution and surge of protests against the establishment (Capricorn) in a call for liberation (Uranus) will continue to escalate.<\/p>\n<p>Last week it was Sudan, Jordan and Tunisia, and now it is Egypt, Lebanon and Yemen whose people are rising against the oppressive government in that country. &nbsp;This puts the United States in a difficult position &#8211; on the one hand, we supposedly stand for freedom and personal liberty, yet the regimes that we support in the middle east are repressive and corrupt. &nbsp;Still, those regimes provide some stability in a region that has the ability to erupt like a powderkeg in the upcoming Uranus\/Pluto square.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t help but think this is a good thing, even though like all difficult planetary cycles it won&#8217;t be comfortable and is certain to be accompanied by bloodshed. &nbsp;But balance must be achieved, and it&#8217;s the job of Uranus (and Jupiter, to a lesser extent) to emancipate the oppressed and when in a square to Pluto in Capricorn, to destroy (Pluto) &nbsp;the old structures (Capricorn) that are already rotted and decayed.<\/p>\n<p>Uranus enters Aries in the later part of March, but Jupiter will move ever close to a square to Pluto that culminates in mid-February. &nbsp;Jupiter brings confidence and demands to be heard &#8211; Jupiter after all was the King of all of the gods on Mt. Olympus. &nbsp;Jupiter refuses to take a back seat to the Lord of the Underworld, no matter how much destruction will ensue.<\/p>\n<p>So fasten your seatbelts folks, it&#8217;s going to be a bumpy ride for the next few months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jupiter entered Aries last week for the first time since leaving that fiery sign of war last fall and retreating back into Pisces.
