The Hands of the Cosmic Clock

Four postulates about the astrology

1. There is no astrological causation on human events. The geocentric planetary placements in the tropical zodiac, and their cyclical angular configurations relative to zodiacal asterisms and other planets, do not determine collective or personal outcomes on planet Earth.
   
2. Astrology is an archetypal language recognizing the multidimensionality, intra-dimensional variability, and polyvalence of astrological archetypes, thus underscoring their inherent indeterminism.
   
3. The geocentric planetary placements in the tropical zodiac, and their cyclical angular configurations relative to zodiacal asterisms and other planets, may be poetically construed as a rich archetypal and metaphoric language providing meaning to human events.
   
4. According to Jung’s synchronicity principle, planetary cycles may be narrated in an archetypal language conveying meaningful non-causal associations (meaningful coincidences) correlated with human events.

---

These four postulates about the psychological science of astrology do present different, yet somewhat overlapping perspectives. They are not entirely orthogonal, meaning they are not completely independent or unrelated to each other. Let’s analyze their relationships:

1. Postulate 1 (No Astrological Causation): This postulate fundamentally contradicts the premise of astrology having any meaningful connection to human events, standing as a distinctly skeptical perspective.
2. Postulate 2 (Astrology as Archetypal Language) and Postulate 3 (Astrology as Metaphoric Language): These two postulates can arguably be merged into one broader concept. Both view astrology as a symbolic language that provides meaning to human events through its archetypal representations. The main difference lies in the emphasis: Postulate 2 focuses on the multidimensionality and variability of astrological archetypes, while Postulate 3 emphasizes the poetic interpretation of these symbols.
3. Postulate 4 (Jung’s Synchronicity Principle): This postulate introduces the concept of synchronicity, which is a unique perspective, but it also aligns with the notion of astrology as a symbolic language (Postulates 2 and 3). It could be seen as a specific application or interpretation of this symbolic language.

In order to achieve conceptual orthogonality, we could potentially merge Postulates 2, 3, and 4 into a single postulate that views astrology as a symbolic language that provides meaning to human events, with inherent multidimensionality, variability, and potential for revealing synchronistic connections. This leaves us with two orthogonal (yin-yang) postulates: one rejecting any astrological influence and one viewing astrology as a rich, symbolic framework for understanding human experience.

Astrological Archetypes and the Cosmic Clock: An Examination Through Four Postulates

Introduction:

Astrology, often seen as a pseudoscience, has been a part of human culture for centuries. Its archetypal language provides a rich narrative that helps us navigate life’s complexities. This first section of the essay explores the astrological archetypes of outer, slow-moving planets (Pluto, Neptune, Uranus (Prometheus), Saturn, and Jupiter) as hands of a cosmic clock through the lens of four postulates about the psychological science of astrology.

Astrological Archetypes and Their Roles:

The outer planets, often referred to as “transpersonal planets,” represent collective unconscious forces. Pluto symbolizes transformation and regeneration, Neptune represents dreams and illusions, Uranus (Prometheus) signifies individuality and revolution, Saturn embodies structure and discipline, and Jupiter denotes expansion and abundance¹.

Postulate One: Lack of Astrological Influence on Human Events:

From the perspective of the first postulate, these planetary archetypes do not have a direct, causal impact on human events or personal outcomes. In this view, the significance of the synodic cycle of Pluto and Uranus since the 1960s, a period marked by intense cultural and societal upheaval, would be seen as coincidental rather than causally related to the planetary movements².

Postulates Two and Three: Astrology as an Archetypal and Metaphoric Language:

The second and third postulates offer a different perspective, suggesting that the geocentric planetary placements in the tropical zodiac can be construed as a rich archetypal and metaphoric language providing meaning to human events. From this viewpoint, the synodic cycle of Pluto and Uranus can be interpreted as a symbolic narrative of transformative (Pluto) and revolutionary (Uranus) energies, reflecting the societal changes and cultural shifts of the 1960s³.

Postulate Four: Jung’s Synchronicity Principle:

The fourth postulate, based on Carl Jung’s synchronicity principle, posits that planetary cycles may be narrated in an archetypal language conveying meaningful non-causal associations correlated with human events. In this view, the Pluto-Uranus synodic cycle could be seen as synchronistically aligned with the cultural and societal upheaval of the 1960s, providing a meaningful narrative of these historical events⁴.

Conclusion:

The four postulates provide diverse perspectives on the psychological science of astrology, each offering unique insights into the interpretation of astrological archetypes and their correlation with human events. While they differ in their views on the direct influence of celestial bodies on human affairs, they all recognize the value of astrology as a symbolic language that can provide unique insights into the human experience.

Astrological Archetypes of Outer Planets: The Hands of the Cosmic Clock

Introduction:

Astrology, often dismissed as pseudoscience, has been an integral part of human culture for centuries. Its archetypal language provides a rich tapestry of meanings that help us navigate the complexities of human life. This section explores the astrological archetypes of the outer, slow-moving planets (Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, and Jupiter) and interprets them as hands of a cosmic clock.

Planetary Archetypes and Their Roles:

As already mentioned, the outer planets, often referred to as “transpersonal planets,” represent collective unconscious forces. Pluto symbolizes transformation and regeneration, Neptune represents dreams and illusions, Uranus signifies individuality and revolution, Saturn embodies structure and discipline, and Jupiter denotes expansion and abundance¹²³.

The Significance of the Synodic Cycle of Pluto and Uranus:

The synodic cycle of Pluto and Uranus since the 1960s has been marked by periods of intense cultural and societal upheaval. These two planets represent transformation (Pluto) and revolution (Uranus). Their interactions have coincided with major shifts in societal norms and values, such as the civil rights movement, the sexual revolution, and significant technological advancements⁴.

The Looming Constitutional Crisis in the USA:

In the context of the upcoming 2024 US presidential election, the progression of these outer planets could indicate a potential constitutional crisis. The USA’s birth chart, based on the Gemini-rising chart for the Declaration of Independence, shows Pluto in Capricorn, indicating a period of deconstruction and transformation of structures of power⁵. As Pluto moves into Aquarius, this could signify major breakthroughs and radical changes in societal structures, potentially leading to a constitutional crisis.

Pluto’s Return and Transition from Capricorn to Aquarius:

Pluto’s 248-year cycle coincides with its return to the same position it held during the USA’s birth. This “Pluto Return” signifies a time of deep transformation and upheaval. As Pluto moves from Capricorn to Aquarius, we can expect radical changes, breakthroughs, and perhaps even a reformation of societal structures⁵⁶.

Outer Planets Changing Tropical Signs Around 2025:

The transition of most outer planets into new tropical signs around 2025 suggests a period of significant global change. Each planet’s shift into a new sign brings a shift in collective focus and challenges, potentially leading to major societal transformations⁷.

The 20-Year Synodic Cycle of Jupiter and Saturn:

The 20-year synodic cycle of Jupiter and Saturn has been associated with notable historical events since the US civil war in the 1860s. Jupiter represents growth and expansion, while Saturn signifies structure and limitation. Their cycle reflects societal growth (Jupiter) within the bounds of societal structures (Saturn). Key events in these cycles have corresponded with periods of tension and release in societal structures⁸.

Conclusion:

Astrology provides an archetypal language that can offer valuable insights into human events and collective experiences. The movements of the outer planets, seen as the hands of a cosmic clock, could reflect the ebb and flow of societal transformations over time. As we approach critical astrological junctures, we can anticipate significant shifts in our collective trajectory.

The Cultural Significance of the 1960s and the Uranus-Pluto Conjunction

Introduction:

The 1960s was a decade marked by significant cultural and societal shifts, from the explosion of popular music to the Civil Rights Movement. This section explores the cultural significance of events in the 1960s and their correlation with the Uranus-Pluto conjunction, a significant astrological event that occurred during the same period.

Cultural Significance of Events in the 1960s:

The 1960s was a decade of vibrant colors, drug use, free love, and artistic expression¹. Events such as the first televised presidential debate, the Bay of Pigs incident, and the Cuban missile crisis defined the political landscape². The era also saw the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the Civil Rights Movement led by Martin Luther King Jr., and the escalation of the Vietnam War³⁴.

Astrological Significance of the Uranus-Pluto Conjunction:

In astrology, the conjunction of Uranus (symbolic of individuality and revolution) and Pluto (representing transformation and regeneration) is considered a time of intense change and upheaval⁵. The synodic cycle of these two planets in the 1960s coincided with significant societal changes.

Correlation Between the Cultural Events and the Uranus-Pluto Conjunction:

Viewed through the lens of astrological symbolism, the conjunction of Uranus and Pluto can be seen as a reflection of the transformative and revolutionary energies of the 1960s. The Civil Rights Movement, for instance, embodied the revolutionary spirit of Uranus and the transformative power of Pluto. Similarly, the explosion of popular music and the counterculture movement could be seen as expressions of the disruptive Uranian energy and the transformative Plutonian force.

Conclusion:

While there is no empirical evidence to suggest a causal relationship between planetary movements and human events, the correlation between the cultural shifts of the 1960s and the Uranus-Pluto conjunction provides a compelling narrative. It underscores the value of astrology as a symbolic language that can offer unique insights into the collective human experience.

The Astrological Archetypes and the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election: An Examination of Uranus and Pluto Movements

Introduction:

The Uranus-Pluto cycle in astrology has been associated with periods of significant societal change and upheaval. This section explores the potential correlation between the movements of these planets, particularly their aspects in 2015 and 2025, and the projected constitutional crisis in the United States for the November 5, 2024 presidential election, using the Sagittarius-rising chart for the Declaration of Independence¹. In this birth chart, Sagittarius, symbolizing exploration and the quest for truth, might indicate the nation’s ongoing journey toward realizing its democratic ideals. The placement of Pluto in the second house of values and resources could suggest the potential for a deep transformation in these areas, as well as the corruption of power through vested interests.

Astrological Archetypes and Their Roles:

Uranus symbolizes revolution and individuality, while Pluto represents transformation and regeneration². Their conjunction in the 1960s coincided with a period of intense cultural and societal upheaval³.

The Uranus-Pluto Cycle and the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election:

The opening square between Uranus and Pluto in 2015 marked a period of tension and conflict, which could be interpreted as a precursor to the looming constitutional crisis⁴. As this aspect eases into a trine in 2025, it could suggest possible resolutions or transformations arising from this crisis. This resolutions may result in either the rise of fascism (imposed “peace”), or the renovation of the democratic ideal of true and lasting peace through goodwill and right human relations, in preparation for the externalization of the planetary spiritual Hierarchy and the physical reappearance of the World Teacher.

Astrology does not predict; it only indicates opportunities for transformative processes that may unfold right or wrong. Thus, the need to train humanity in the right use of its free will, as suggested in the principles of a hierarchical democracy.

The Natal USA Chart and Its Implications:

In the Sagittarius-rising chart for the Declaration of Independence, considered the birth chart of the United States, Uranus is in Gemini in the seventh house, indicating a revolutionary spirit in relationships with other nations⁵. On the other hand, Pluto in Capricorn in the second house suggests a positive or negative transformative force in terms of values and resources⁶.

The transits of Pluto and Uranus conjunct with their placements in the natal USA chart around the time of the 2024 election may intensify these themes. These transits could indicate a deep transformation (Pluto) in the nation’s values and resources and a revolution (Uranus) in its relationships with other nations, possibly reflecting the constitutional crisis.

Conclusion:

While there is no empirical evidence to suggest a causal relationship between planetary movements and human events, the correlation between the Uranus-Pluto cycle and the potential constitutional crisis around the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election provides a compelling narrative. It underscores the value of astrology as a symbolic language that can offer unique insights into collective human experiences.

Astrological Cycles, Civil Unrest and the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election: A Correlative Study

Introduction:

Astrology has long been used to interpret societal shifts and changes. This last section of the essay explores the correlation between the 20-year synodic cycle of Jupiter and Saturn since the U.S. civil war in the 1860s, Steve Bannon’s thesis of an imminent next civil war in the USA, and the looming constitutional crisis for the November 5, 2024 presidential election. The Sagittarius-rising chart for the Declaration of Independence, considered the birth chart of the United States¹, will be used as reference.

Jupiter and Saturn Synodic Cycle:

The Jupiter-Saturn cycle, occurring approximately every 20 years, is often associated with socio-political change². Since the U.S. Civil War in the 1860s, this cycle has coincided with significant shifts in American society and politics³.

Steve Bannon’s Thesis of an Imminent Civil War:

Steve Bannon, a key figure in the Trump administration, has proposed the thesis of an imminent next civil war in the U.S., known as the “Fourth Turning.” He suggests that the country is on the verge of a crisis that could culminate in civil strife⁴.

Correlation with the Looming Constitutional Crisis:

The upcoming 2024 presidential election has been predicted to potentially trigger a constitutional crisis. Considering Bannon’s thesis and the current Jupiter-Saturn cycle, these astrological movements could symbolize the escalation of tensions leading up to this event⁵.

The Sagittarius-rising Chart and Its Implications:

In the Sagittarius-rising chart for the Declaration of Independence, Jupiter is in Cancer in the eighth house, indicating a nation’s growth through transformation and shared resources⁶. Saturn, in Libra in the tenth house, suggests a country’s structure and authority is balanced through justice⁷. The Jupiter-Saturn cycle, in relation to their placements in the U.S. birth chart, could suggest a period of significant transformation and rebalancing in the nation’s socio-political landscape.

Conclusion:

While astrology does not provide empirical evidence for causality, the correlation between the Jupiter-Saturn cycle, Bannon’s thesis, and the potential constitutional crisis offers a compelling narrative. It underscores astrology’s potential to provide unique insights into collective experiences, suggesting that the upcoming astrological shifts might correlate with significant socio-political changes in the U.S.

The Uranus Neptune Pluto Triangle of 2024–2027

The mini triangle configuration is also called a transiting midpoint which is something that happens two or three times each century, so they’re quite rare. They usually have either Uranus or Pluto at the midpoint between the other two planets, while Neptune midpoints happen only once every 500 years. The last time Neptune was at the midpoint was in 1504!
