Astrological Repair Manual

safe and sane society.
It's important to consider the lengthy durations of these cycles that apply to the
slow yet steady transformation, elevation, and regeneration of our world. It’s only been a
little over 300 years since Uranus was discovered and humanity had a conscious symbol
for a method of getting at the ultimate truths with more to show for it than a collection of
fables and myths. And, the conscious awareness of ways and means to raise the level of
our dreams and visions and to find the proper ways to purge and regenerate society have
been available for even shorter times. Let’s give ourselves a break and stop being
pessimistic about the future. If you look closely enough at recent history and compare it
with the eons of time humans have been struggling on this earth, you’ll come away totally
amazed at the glorious potential we hold in common! I used the word
“Transpersonal” in the title of this chapter for very conscious reasons. -Personal because
humanity’s growth ultimately depends on more and more individuals getting it right.
Trans- because it means to go beyond or through or across. If our personal awareness of
life can go beyond the personal while not letting our individual views disappear; if we can
see through the merely personal to what lies beyond and is so important for a full life; if
we can get across the bridge of the personal and see that it leads to wonderful vistas of
creativity and freedom; if each of us does these things, we will be bringing what many see
as the dark forces of the unconscious into the bright light of day and using them, very
consciously, to accelerate human evolution beyond the hatreds and terrors that are still too
much with us. The Instructions has suggestions for where to go to get your own birth
chart as well as a method for beginning to interpret your chart factors. If you feel
adventurous, go there now and find the house and sign for your Uranus, Neptune, and
Pluto. Realize that this first step in using the knowledge from this Repair Manual is only
that, a first step, even though it may be one of the most important first steps you’ve ever
taken!
As you ponder the meanings of these factors in your life, don’t forget to look at
them as a three-step process of Transpersonal Awareness and also consider them as a
sequence from Pluto to Uranus and also from Uranus to Pluto—the first direction is the
one that brings large-scale social factors into your personal life and the other direction is
you injecting yourself into the flux of society's largest concerns.
If you do this exercise and end up totally confused, you can count on the fact that
your unconscious mind is very happy with your ego. In fact, without you knowing it, your
unconscious can arrange to give you dreams that help you understand, or “mysteriously”
lead you to find another individual that helps you understand. Or, you may be the type of
person who just stands there and charges against the wall till it falls down and lets you
build a bridge.
Whatever happens, we still have a ways to go till we reach the Earth and find out
what this astrology stuff is all about. I will let you in on a secret here, though: what
you’ve read so far and what you can gain from trying to interpret you own Uranus,
Neptune, and Pluto is far and away more knowledge of True Astrology than many
practicing astrologers have! Believe it...

We’ve left the three transpersonals far behind but clearly not forgotten. As we
