I REALLY like the potential that this trine between Jupiter and Pluto represents. Jupiter is the planet dealing with
expansion, growth, optimism, long distance messages, travel, and higher learning while Pluto deals with
transformation, actualization, purging, release, power, and truth. From
July 2011 through March 2012 Jupiter and Pluto form a pleasant and flowing trine (120') with each other from the earth signs of Taurus and Capricorn, respectively, that is sure to feature a relatively
subtle release from
old power structures toward the
expansion of truth and wisdom to the masses in some way. You may experience this in your own life as an
expanding sense of self-confidence and empowerment in your ability to make choices and to direct your activities in a way that
aligns with your highest truth in the world.
Sound too good to be true? Well, its all in what you make of it. But starting with the
first of three trines between Jupiter and Pluto on July 7, 2011 you will have
roughly 9 months to
take advantage of this potential for your own life. Below are the three (3) exact dates that Jupiter and Pluto form a trine with each other over this period.

We have to look back at the
beginning of this latest Jupiter/Pluto cycle to get an idea of just what might be ready to
find new ground for you in your life. The beginning of this latest cycle occurred in
December 2007 when these two planets made their
once in 13 years conjunction in the late degrees of Sagittarius. See my article regarding last year's
Jupiter/Pluto square for more details on the timing of the planetary cycles for these two planets since December 2007:
Since the sextile and trine aspects are
not included in the timeline from my previous article, I have listed all of the
major aspects between Jupiter and Pluto since their last conjunction along with their
general time frames of influence (1' orb) below:
Jupiter conjunct Pluto - Early-Mid December 2007 (Sagittarius)
Jupiter sextile Pluto - Late January-Early February 2010 (Pisces/Capricorn)
Jupiter square Pluto - July 2010-February 2011 (Aries/Capricorn)
Jupiter trine Pluto - July 2011-March 2012 (Taurus/Capricorn)
Generally speaking, the
conjunction in December 2007 represented the '
seed planting' phase for this energy. What
ambitions and other forms of
self-empowerment were you unwittingly '
testing out' during that time period? The
sextile in early 2010 was a period of '
opportunity' to expand our potential on some level related to whatever we started in December 2007. Did you
take subtle steps toward any opportunities that winter? The
square which started last summer (2010) and just recently ended in late February of this year was a time of '
taking action' with regards to our new found ambitions and
new sense of self. Finally, this
trine period, which is initiating over the next week, will give us a 9-month opportunity to '
experience' the growth that
we have created for ourselves. We will see what all of this '
culminates' to when Jupiter
opposes Pluto from
August 2013 through April 2014 (see
previous article for details on the energy of the opposition).
What I find even more interesting about this Jupiter/Pluto trine is that the asteroid
Chiron is also forming
sextile aspects (60') to
BOTH planets as it lies
directly between Jupiter and Pluto in the sign of Pisces for the first of the three trines between them (See chart above). Chiron initiated a sextile with Jupiter earlier this month which will last
through February 2012. Chiron's sextile to Pluto initiated in late June and will last
through January 2015! However, this
first week of July 2011 is the
ONLY time during any of the periods mentioned where
ALL THREE planetary bodies (Jupiter, Pluto, & Chiron) will be within 1' orb of each other.
The last of the three trines between Jupiter and Pluto features a
retrograde Mars completing a '
grand trine' with this configuration from the sign of
Virgo. Considering this last aspect occurs just hours before my next Solar Return (i.e. birthday) in March 2012, I am excited about the prospects! But, in any case, this Jupiter/Pluto trine certainly
isn't occurring in a vacuum as other planetary bodies will be involved in what '
evolves' with this transit.
Adding Chiron to the equation for this trine between Jupiter and Pluto adds a layer of '
revealing' and '
healing' to this new found
growth into our truth.
Exposure and vulnerability are sure to be a part of this overall energy over the
next 1 to 3 years. This goes for our own lives as well as the world at large. To me, Chiron in Pisces adds a layer of
potential healing on a
massive scale. Considering that Jupiter in Taurus deals with the
expansion of information/resources and Pluto in Capricorn deals with the total
destruction/transformation of existing power structures, I wanted to use a real-world example of a
large-scale potential to spread tangible information to a massive audience with the potential of healing.
I realized that I didn't need to look much beyond my own Midtown Sacramento, CA neighborhood for just such an example! On
July 17, 2011 (and
through November 16, 2011), Dr. Dennis Godby (Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine), his two sons, and his nephew will be
running from San Francisco, CA to Bridgeport, CT to raise awareness about
alternative health options that are available through
natural medicine. The event is being referred to as "
The Run" and its goal is to highlight the need to put '
health back in American health care'. As Dr. Godby states:
“We live in a nation where the only widely acceptable approach to medicine is 
pharmaceutical-based, and focused on treatment of advanced disease. We need to go beyond treating disease, and even beyond preventing disease. We need to move toward real health, which means so much more than just preventing really bad things from happening...”While these ideas are
not new, perhaps it is finally '
time' for such knowledge to become more widespread and to fall more into the
mainstream acceptance field. Currently, existing health care structures like Medicare are up for review/questioning and its just possible that an effort to
spread tangible information/resources over a long distance (Jupiter in Taurus) with the intention of
revealing outworn pharmaceutical-driven systems in need of reform (Pluto in Capricorn) so that people on a
massive scale have a chance to actually
heal from their ailments (Chiron in Pisces) could be '
just what the doctor ordered'...or just what the Naturopathic Doctor ordered for this time period :).
I am curious as to whether December 2007 was a significant '
seed planting' time for this endeavor. As a patient of Dr. Godby's, I know for certain that the Jupiter/Pluto square time period from
July 2010 through early March 2011 WAS a time of work and
taking action toward the
development of this large event. I am also curious to know whether early 2010 (Jupiter/Pluto sextile in late Feb/early March) featured a time that the
wheels started to roll with regards to developing the event. In any case, this current time period is the
PERFECT ENERGY to unleash the
information and awareness for which the "The Run" has intended. I expect that this event will be
LARGER in terms of
influence and outreach than Dr. Godby has envisioned thus far. But I am sure he will be a little
too focused on his feet hitting the pavement over the next several months to notice any impact until he is finished in November! Good luck to Dr. Godby and his sons/nephew!
Whatever comes out of this effort will likely
not bear its fruits until the period from
August 2013 through April 2014 when Jupiter
opposes Pluto. There is always a lag time between
information and implementation, so perhaps it will take a couple of years before
new health care systems are created that support the
intentions of natural medicine and the awareness that this event will bring to the masses. Guess we will have to wait and see!
With regards to natural medicine in general, I ran across this published article from December 2007 on the function of
ginger in inhibiting cell growth in ovarian cancer:
http://www.biomedcentral.com/1472-6882/7/44/abstractWhile it may be
2-3 years before the Jupiter/Pluto opposition that will
bear the fruits and
implementation of seeds like this that were planted around December 2007, rest assured that 2011 will be a
BIG year with regards to
pushing the envelope and unveiling the TRUTH about health/healing and the strangle-hold that
pharmaceutical companies have had over the health care industry and on YOUR health in recent decades! Its time we ALL grow in this awareness.
For more information on "The Run" and when it may be coming to a city near you, please check out the following website:
Also, if you live in the Sacramento area, there is a
Health Festival to Celebrate Natural Medicine on
Friday, July 22 at Fremont Park (corner of 16th/Q). The runners will also be
crossing the Sacramento River and entering Sacramento over the Tower Bridge on
Thursday, July 21 if you want to witness it from the Capitol. The Friday event will also be part of the welcome party for the runners. If you are a local vendor with health related products and/or services, there may still be room to get on the vendor list!
