Some think history repeats itself; some think that it is a progress. Sometimes it involves transformation. Astrologers believe that we are undergoing the second last of seven fateful revolutionary celestial events, which have been jarring the world's destiny from 2012 to 2015. Specialists in this esoteric field refer to a so-called 'square' between mighty planets
Pluto (underworld, reforged power, control, epiphanies and metamorphoses) and
Uranus (invention, innovation, sudden change, surprises), which occurred on 15 December 2014.
Skyscript describes Pluto's symbolic energy as follows:
Sometimes considered a 'higher octave' of Mars, Pluto is similarly
powerful and penetrating, but on an unconscious and psychological level.
It gradually permeates the subconscious with its drives, leaving the
conscious unaware until suddenly and explosively it emerges in an
instinctive response that brings sweeping and often devastating change
in the psyche and way of living. It can thus be a force for great
personal good or ill. It evokes the principles of resurrection and
determination, which when positively expressed bring resolution; when
negatively expressed, coercion.
Pluto governs the conversion of apparent lost causes into successful
projects, but at times the receding of objectives when their point of
realisation seems imminent; cycles of death and rebirth; disregard for
vested interests; extremes of good and bad (including luck); the
frustration and annihilation of plans; idealistic socially motivated
organisations; ideas ahead of their time; the inspiration to put an end
to failing conditions; involvement in organised groups and movements
desirous of social reconstruction, which may include altruistic interest
groups, political parties and think tanks, professional associations
and trade unions, and also gangs and underground organisations; the
negation and transformation of conditions; non-recognition of the
legitimacy or impositions of officially established authorities;
righteous indignation on behalf of social causes; and the voluntary
relinquishment of worldly interests in order to advance spiritual
development, or of home, country or fortune for marriage. It manifests
in writers and dramatists who seek to inculcate reformist doctrines into
their literary works. It is compulsive, intense, and sometimes
manipulative.
Skyscript describes the significations of Uranus as follows:
Seen sometimes as a 'higher octave' of Mercury, Uranus enables
communication without the conventional mechanism of speech and physical
conduction methods. It is therefore associated with radio waves,
electromagnetic radiation and electricity, and nuclear radiation. It
evokes originality, which when positively expressed manifests as
inventiveness; when negatively expressed, as deviance.
Uranus confers contempt for conventional conceptions of morality;
distaste at being controlled and at arbitrary forms of outside
authority; executive ability; flashes of intuition; perspicacious and
reliable insight into others' personal motivations; interest in the
principles of religion and science, and in scientific investigation of
material phenomena; an inclination to part with customs; and mechanical
ability that favours engineering. It is aloof; altruistic; cool;
critical; crushingly assertive; conscious of personal authority and
power; directed by inner impulses; eccentric; erratic; firm-opinioned;
frequently fatalistic regarding personal destiny; heroic; iconoclastic;
illuminating; imaginative; impersonal; impulsive; ingenious; insistent
upon independence; innovative; inventive of new ideas, methods, moral
codes and occupations; liberating; moved by new circumstances; off-hand;
organising; peculiar; positive; persevering when faced with obstacles
to surmount; power-conscious; promoting; prone to sudden changes of mind
and view; prophetic; revolutionary; romantic; self-centred;
self-reliant; spasmodic; spontaneous; unbendingly willful; unsentimental;
variable; and violently reactive against potential privations of
freedom of thought and action; but when restricted, potentially
anarchistic; bohemian; eccentric; fanatical; and invective and sarcastic
without provocation.
Uranus signifies everything anomalous or unconventional; and the sudden
smashing and transformation of outdated established Saturnian structures
and restrictions. It also signifies bereavements, blind impulses,
catastrophes, changes (especially sudden changes), constructive and
mechanical ability, enemies, estrangements, exiles, people in power or
authority, public affairs, romances, sudden events, sorrows, suicides,
tragedies, and uncertain fortunes.

Astrologers believe that the same aspect - a conflict between power and innovation - affected other revolutions in history:
Latin American independence in the 1820s; the
1848 revolutions; the
Boxer Rebellion in China at the turn of the 19th-to-20th centuries; the
first airplane flight of 1903; the founding of the
Bolshevik Party, 1903; the
Theory of Relativity of 1905; the
first IBM computers of 1965; the
social revolutions of the 1960s. It also appeared during the 1929 financial crash.
The astrological aspects are the same today as they were during the onset of World War II. However, the conflict now takes place in the realm of money and material consciousness, and governments are related insofar as their power hierarchies and economic systems are concerned.
FemCentral considers the 2012-2015 Pluto-Uranus squares to be a World War III of finances, economic systems, our whole way of understanding money, materialism, and from that - our encrypted consciousness of the dividing line between the material and immaterial, which can involve religion:
Uranus was last in Aries from 1928-1935. This was the time of the Great
Depression. Hitler. Rumblings of World War. During that period, Pluto
was also square Uranus, as it is now. However, at that time, Pluto was
in the sign of Cancer. It is currently in the sign opposite Cancer,
which is Capricorn. ... I’m not predicting World War III. Yes, Uranus is in the same place it
was in World War II, and it’s square Pluto, as it was then. But, Pluto
was in emotional Cancer at that time. Now, it’s in the sign of
tradition. Establishment. Money. This is what people are rebelling
against. This is what will change.
From
Astroquest Astrology:
I
would suggest that by the time Pluto leaves Capricorn in 2022 we will
have witnessed an entire change in our understanding of what it
is that defines us and what it is that we hold dear and give 'value' to
in life. This is the time when decadent regimes collapse and new
ruthless regimes rise from the ashes. In the business world, many
upheavals take place, as new business strategies replace the old
economic models and business practices.
Uranus another outer planet, impersonal and inevitable in Aries will in 2012 be moving in and out of a square with Pluto, triggering many changes on a global level. ... Uranus
and Pluto last squared each other in 1929 and we all know what happened
in Wall St. then. Interestingly Uranus was also in Aries while Pluto was
in Cancer, the sign opposite Capricorn
where it is now. The Great Depression of the 30's had its biggest
impact on families (Cancer) the concerns this time round are about
governments defaulting and perhaps more banks collapsing (Capricorn).
Interesting times!
There is a 2012 book on how the square pertains to the early teens of the 21st century:
Uranus Square Pluto by Wendy Stacey. You can see the financial crash of 2008 further related to the square at
Astroquest Astrology,
here.
Tarot.com comments on the 2012-2015 series of squares:
Some large institutions may fail, while other big corporate interests
may consolidate and increase their power. We may witness political
uprisings and social and religious revolutions. It could, in fact, mark an evolutionary leap
for our entire species in terms of social and technological
advancements.
Universal Life Tools speaks similarly of this revolutionary aspect:
PLUTO in CAPRICORN is about inspiring
major transformations in the hierarchical structures of governments,
corporations & all those in places of power. ... ‘Pluto holds the vibration of transformation and evolution and
Capricorn is about rolling your sleeves up and getting down to work… and
together they influence the very foundations of governments, financial
institutions, medicine, education… structures are/will break down in
order to be rebuilt through evolutionary change’.
URANUS in ARIES is about rebellion
against old paradigms and revolutionary change. ... ‘Uranus is the shake up planet governing revolution and evolutionary change…. exhilarating people to rebel against old fear based paradigms’.
When both PLUTO in Capricorn and URANUS
in Aries square each other (sit at 90 degrees of each other on a 360
degrees astrological wheel ...) we are feeling an
intense desire to rebel, revolt and not sit back and take it anymore.
We are so dissatisfied with the lies, deceit and propaganda, we just
want to jump ship and start a new. Yet at the same time, we know from a
higher consciousness that running away is futile, as we need to work
pro-actively to dismantle & tear-down and then rebuild, restructure
and transform from the ground up.
In Addition to the Pluto/Uranus Square, on the 15/16 December 2014 Uranus is in opposition (180 degrees) to the MOON in LIBRA, and hence Pluto in Capricorn is SQUARING the MOON in LIBRA which together creates a Cardinal T Square. ... [T]he 15/16 December 2014 Cardinal T-Square will potentially create
much emotional volatility and a strong impetus to break free from the
perceive limiting restrictions of our social, political, hierarchical
structures. It may feel like a volcano is building inside of your as
the intensity of the T-Square peaks on the 15/16 Dec.
If you can hang in there and focus/build this intensity within, as we
then come into the Summer/Winter Solstice on 21/22 December as the Sun
moves into Capricorn, combined with Uranus moving direct in our
celestial skies, this will be the most effective time to channel these
newfound inspirations from the T-Square and implement authentic steps
in your life for personal and evolutionary change.
Wisdom of Astrology comments on the personal impact on individuals
here, claiming that this 6th square and the December solstice will call on people to find balance in this conflict. We have to change, but what does that mean, exactly? The astrological predictions are fanciful and symbolic ways of describing the social, political and economic processes of change as well as individual experiences of those processes. We are confronted with the question: are we puppets fated by the universe, or agents of our destinies? How we transform ourselves will begin with a challenge to the financial system, and end with a personal exploration of the transition from the material and immaterial. This marks a realignment of priorities and approaches to material problems.
Wisdom of Astrology argues that the end outcome of these speculations must involve an individual adoption of responsibility, a broad atomization of leadership:
This is the challenge of our times—to open to our
own brilliance and re-create the world. We have to become conscious
co-creators of life—we have to consciously evolve ourselves and our society to
the next stage of human awareness. Facing what’s going on can’t make us
so depressed that we give up and opt out. That’s what patriarchy hopes
we’ll do. That’s a failure to evolve, because the next step for humanity
is conscious community in the Age of Aquarius. We have to be living examples of
those principles for the future good of our world.
... We have to face what’s happening in our world—face our
collective choices of war and fear and of giving over power to our ‘new
kings’—the corporations and banks. If we withdraw our support from those
corporate entities as much as possible, they will die out from lack of life.
To live our spiritual values means that we have to
become social activists and live out our beliefs. And so we become
leaders in our own small way. That is the Aquarian ideal, you know—everyone at the
Round Table is equal, free and responsible for the collective welfare.
