5. Jupiter-Uranus
years are the year of the superstar, where a musician or group of musicians
enjoy incredible popular success only to quickly recede into the cultural
background. In this case Uranus is stimulating the Jupiterian proclivity for
tremendous expansion, growth, and sucess.
6. Pieces
of enormous controversy are written which offend at the time of their release
but are later canonized as classics.
7.Overwhelming success is achieved: all-time best-selling recordings
are released at this time. Popular artists achieve inconceivable success.
8. Musical
pieces and collaborations are set on a grand scale at these times. The archetypal
combinations involved are reciprocal, that is, they act upon each other in
equal force, and, here we see Uranus amplifying Jupiter. We have seen that
Jupiter acts to amplify and enlarge the Uranus archetype. However, Uranus
also acts upon Jupiter, stimulating and energizing Jupiter's tendency toward
pomp, ceremony, grandiosity, excess, and optimism.
Since archetypes are
always found in relation to one another, it is impossible to discern what
an archetype feels, sounds, or looks like in its essence. However, by looking
at times where Uranus has been in angular aspect–and thus inflected by–another
planet, we can discern certain patterns that appear to be associated with
Uranus's archetype. By distilling these patterns, it is important to acknowledge
that there is a recognizable "sound"–an identifible sensibility–associated
with the archetype of Uranus which might be classified as intrinsic to the
archetype itself.
Before exploring this
"sound," however, it is important to first delineate Uranus's primary cultural
and individual function.
