Hallelujah! It is finished. New day has arrived.

12/15 ~ Uranus (radical change) ~square~ Pluto (death, rebirth & transformation):  (6 of 7)

These two may need a little qualifying first.  Uranus has an 84-year cycle, comprised of 7-year increments (each Sign), breaking in to social cycles of 21 years (square) and 42 years (opposition) as well.  Pluto has a 248-year cycle, and spends 11-33 years in each Sign, which comes in waves apparently, but reminds us that "Transformation takes as long as it takes!"  Uranus is considered the *Change Agent* ~ while Pluto represents the ultimate (and permanent) transformation.  However, they operate considerably differently.  Pluto works very slowly, over long periods of time and behind the scenes, exerting its strongest influence from the hidden realms.  Uranus works with lightning speed, change in an instant, sudden illumination and life is never the same again.  They are getting together in a 90-degree angle (square), which will ultimately build something, but not before the complete destruction of that which is not worthy (ending the old way), the clearing and purifying of space for new growth (preparation) and restructuring from the ground UP (rebirthing/rebuilding).  Squares push us *out of comfort zone, in to new territory* ~ they help us *build* something stable and useful through the trials and adjustments, processes and sacrifices made, especially when they are actively engaged like this ... which is rare.  (Uranus Squares Pluto every 50-80 years.)

On a personal level, this is a revolutionary time to be alive and all life is affected one way or another when these Collective shifts happen.  Even though both of these planets are considered Collective planets, they will affect individuals with planets active in these Signs.  So this go-round is primarily affecting Cancer/Capricorn and Aries/Libra energies, though no one is exempt.  (You can look to the Signs for the themes and lessons.)  There is a tremendous pressure from the Social and Collective realms to adjust on personal and Individual levels.  This activation forces change, seemingly from outer, uncontrollable influences, but it should not be a surprise.  It usually changes something you've known needed changing, but resisted and postponed.   Essentially, Pluto reveals that which is already dead, done and over but very often we avoid these deeper, darker realms.  "Suddenly" (Uranus) there is a catalyst (activation) for change and there is no going back!  We *LIVE* during the current *Activation* which means we can set an intention to co-create.  We can set an intention for ourselves and 7 Generations to come, if we like.  Allow the old paradigms to drift in to your memory and focus on the incoming, new paradigm.  Connect with the new life and new structures rising from the ashes, like the Phoenix reborn, of all that's gone before.  It is not necessarily "good" or "bad" but it's definitely "over" so don't waste precious resources looking back.  Connect to your Aries Instincts (independence) and Libra Circle (community) and anchor your fundamentals, how you provide for your Self and your family (Cancer) as well as, how you contribute to Society (Capricorn).  If you do that to the best of your ability, you should come out of this 4+ year *PROCESS* on completely new ground, stabilized in the outer realms and more secure in your Center to navigate, come what may.  There will be two Activations in 2012, 2013 and 2014 with the 7th and final one in 2015
