Shifting of the planetary archetypes

According to the Pleiadians, the archetypes of several planets in our solar system shifted about 10,000 – 14,000 years ago. The best example of this archetypal shift, which many of us are able to feel deep within our subconscious, is the archetype of the planet Mars, which shifted from the sacred warrior to the war god. Other examples are the planet Venus, which received the additional archetype of jealousy. Saturn developed too much rigidity. And Chiron became the (wounded) healer planet in our solar system, a role that had previously been filled – and is still filled until this day – by Gaia, the goddess-healer planet.

It is important for us to remember this now. For as humanity is healing and is taking the critical leap in evolution as described by the Mayan calendar, we are shifting the planetary archetypes again! More importantly, we have to recognize ourselves as healers in the solar system. As we have been acting out the ‘new’ planetary archetypes since the shift 10,000 – 14,000 years ago, we have allowed the damaged energy of the other planets to flow out through us. Thus, as true Gaians (see my previous article on this topic) we have already contributed to the healing of the archetypal shift! We have worked our butts off, and we did not have a good time doing it with all the wars and suffering in our planetary field for thousands of years. Now that we are ready to make the evolutionary leap, we will move archetypes such as war, rigidity and jealousy right out of our system and thus enable them to move out of our solar system.

The archetypal shift
About 10,000 – 14,000 years ago, a great cataclysm wrecked several planets in our solar system, including our own. (See Cataclysm! Compelling Evidence of a Cosmic Catastrophe in 9500 B.C. by D.S. Allan & J.B. Delair, and Catastrophobia: The Truth Behind Earth Changes by Barbara Hand Clow.) What probably happened is that highly destructive cosmic assailants (possibly fragments from the Vela Supernova) flew into our solar system, knocking several planets and moons out of their normal orbits, rotational speed and axial tilt, either by gravitational force (close fly-by) or by direct impact. An event of this magnitude could explain the many planetary anomalies in our solar system, such as Mars’s fragmented crust, low magnetic field and slow axial rotation; Venus’s retrograde rotation, Uranus’s axis lying on its side, as well as Earth’s own tilted axis.

According to the Pleiadians, physical changes do not come without archetypal changes, and vice versa. When the planets in our solar system were damaged, which may or may not have included a wipe out of most physical and/or non-physical life forms and societal structures on their surfaces, the physical shock and shift that went through most of the planets caused an archetypal shift as well. According to the Pleiadians, the archetypal shift enabled a non-physical release of physical trauma. What this means is that the impact of the physical alterations in our solar system was partly released through archetypal drama, which is a natural way to restore the balance!

Paradoxically, our human experience with several thousands of years of violence, jealousy, greed and destruction – which are remnants of our own traumatic experience during this great cataclysm – has enabled the planetary pain in our solar system to move through and be released.

The loss of the Garden of Eden
As richly described by Barbara Hand Clow in her books The Mayan Code: Time Acceleration and Awakening the World Mind (2007) and Catastrophobia: The Truth Behind Earth Changes (2001) life on Earth before the great cataclysm can be described as the ‘Garden of Eden.’ In The Mayan Code Clow writes:

“According to anthropology, hunters and gatherers opened the first chapters of human history around one hundred thousand years ago, when life was as close to paradise as humans have ever achieved. They say this harmony began to break down when horticulture – people settling down with gardens – was adopted during the early Neolithic Age. I will explore the possibility that some people adopted horticulture, even agriculture, and possibly built maritime cities twenty thousand years ago, and that the previous harmony was lost as a result of weather and Earth changes that began over twelve thousand years ago. Earth changes are the reason archaeologists and anthropologists find few remnants of advanced human activity prior to ten thousand years ago. We don’t find many vestiges of earlier farming and even earlier cities because a great cataclysm 11,500 years ago devastated most of the planet and destroyed the remnants of a global Paleolithic civilization. This is a lost world, which some call Atlantis, and recently many new-paradigm writers have been describing it as a global maritime civilization. Regardless of a more ancient lost world, when city cultures developed five thousand years ago, the idyllic hunter-gatherer and early horticultural life (…) disappeared.” (“The Mayan Code: Time Acceleration and Awakening the World Mind,” p. 60 – Barbara Hand Clow)

Exploring the cataclysm purely from our own perspective, D.S. Allan, J.B. Delair and Barbara Hand Clow describe that the cosmic assailants got so close to our planet, that the water in the rivers, seas and oceans, and the liquid magma in the Earth’s interior began to gravitate towards the passing bodies in the sky. As a result, Earth’s crust buckled, causing volcanic eruptions, earth quakes and the upheaval and fall of masses of land. As large water basins were drained and then filled again, tsunamis raged around the planet, wiping away the settlements of the ancient global maritime civilization and killing its people. It is possible that the atmosphere became electrically supercharged and/or imploded, which may have damaged human neurological systems and caused additional trauma.

After this great planetary upheaval, Earth needed a long time to settle. As a matter of fact, some scientists say that in present time Earth is still in the process of settling from the disruptive changes that were caused by this great cataclysm. For several thousands of years life on our planet was reduced to mere survivalism, instilling a deep fear of hunger and catastrophe in the human race. Our ancient civilization (or former harmonic way of life) was lost and we were thrown back to a more limited level of consciousness and development. We developed a fear-based inner need to hoard, and over time our subconscious unprocessed trauma and deep fear of the Earth and the sky led to the development of violence and aggression. We became afraid of each other!

In order to protect ourselves, we began to build walls, cities and, eventually, armies. Our fear-based inner need to hoard developed into greed, and as we explored our ability to manipulate others by means of violence, we took the step to claim resources and living space by means of violence also. Warfare was born. Since we had become afraid of each other, we felt that we could not be safe unless the other was somehow restrained. Thus, we also began to use violence to control and dominate each other. Within a relatively short period of a few thousand years (which is short if measured against one hundred thousand years of human history) we saw the birth of warfare, patriarchy, dominance and control, destruction of –and alienation from– nature, and slavery.

Archetypal shift versus own responsibility
For years I have been a student of Barbara Hand Clow and I have explored the story of this great cataclysm as much as I could. Just as I thought I understood it to a certain degree, the Pleiadians came in with this radical shift in point of view, namely the archetypal shift of the planets. Suddenly the change from harmony to our destructive and aggressive lifestyle had not only happened because we were traumatized (or simply because we were stupid), but the planetary archetypes had shifted and that was why we got so violent.

After years of exploring the unhealthy aspects of human behaviour and learning that humans have to remember the trauma of the cataclysm in order to heal, suddenly there is this new point of view, which says that humans have been the healers of the solar system by allowing the archetypes of aggression, jealousy, greed and too much rigidity (control) to move through us. In other words: We have contributed to the healing of our solar system by playing out a big archetypal drama for 11,000 years.

I don’t know about you, but I had to sit down and contemplate the implications of that viewpoint for a while. I spent hours and hours wondering what it might mean, and I frequently bombarded the Pleiadians with questions that began with: “Hey, wait a minute, what about…?” Let me share some of the things the Pleiadians had to say:

According to the Pleiadians, it is trivial to ask whether the planetary archetypes shifted so that earthlings (humans) could move through thousands of years of drama to process their own trauma, or whether humans moved through thousands of years of drama because of this huge archetypal shift. They say that the answer is: Both! Our solar system is one big entity in the heavens, what happens to one part of it cannot be seen as separate from the rest of it. The solar system is helping and influencing us, just as we are helping and influencing the solar system. (See my post Reclaiming our role in the solar system.)

What this means is that we are still responsible for healing ourselves and for developing our consciousness so that we can make the evolutionary leap. However, it also means that our whole solar system is involved in this process (as can be seen e.g. by the astounding astrological transits of the final years of the Mayan calendar.) And, it means that our human progress in our evolution and in the healing of our wounds, influences not only the outcome for us on Earth, but for the entire solar system -- and beyond! According to the Pleiadians, our solar system is part of larger galactic systems and sub-systems, so just imagine the job we have to do!

The archetypes and the evolutionary leap
So then I said: Great, the archetypes have shifted, what does this mean for us? I don’t suppose this means that we are stuck with warfare, jealousy and too much rigidity for however long it takes for the next cosmic assailant to pass by, does it?

The Pleiadians explained that, no, we are not stuck with these archetypes. In fact, they are already shifting. Recently (on Dec 27/28, 2008) the archetype of the planet Mars unfroze and began to move back towards the Sacred Warrior. This happened during a Mars-Pluto conjunction (as viewed from Earth), which was a Pluto-Gaia opposition as viewed from Mars, and according to the Pleiadians this opposition offered Mars a tremendous potential to heal.

On Dec 27, 2008 the planetary aspects during the New Moon offered Gaia maximum support to fulfil her role as the goddess-healer for Mars. What happened during this New Moon was that Gaia’s (sensual, feminine and spiritual) energy melted Mars’s frozen crust, and then the release of the rigidity and frozen aggression of Mars moved out through Gaia in what was initially the energy of violent rape before turning into passionate lovemaking. Gaia and Mars reunited on that day, and the deep love of Gaia has been healing the heart of Mars ever since. On Earth we experienced the violent rape energy when Israel invaded Gaza. However, since then we have been seeing more and more signs of the healing of the archetype of force and power (Mars), shifting from the War God back into the Sacred Warrior. Just think of the many movements towards peace that have been initiated.

We will shift as the planets are able to shift. Likewise, by our healing as individuals and as a species, we are freeing up the planets. We are part of a larger reciprocal system of growth and development. We are Gaian healers and we are co-creating with the solar system.

Humans as Gaian healers
Now that we humans are ready to make our evolutionary leap, it is time for us to recognize the deep wounding that we have transmuted as healers of this solar system. We are the children of Gaia, who is the healer of this solar system (aided by Chiron since the cataclysm.) Our tremendous struggle with violence has contributed to the liberation of the whole solar system. We have to honour ourselves for our efforts and release any self-blame and judgment about the so-called destructive ‘nature’ of our own species. We have to recognize that it was only a process, a collective effort, a healing sojourn. As long as we believe our species to be destructive, we are limiting our evolutionary growth potential. Our only problem is that we have been traumatized and that we have been acting out earthly and planetary wounding for several thousands of years.

The time has come for the big alchemy: the transmutation of old pain and the move beyond fear, greed and anger. Now is the time to make that evolutionary leap and to move into harmony, peace and love. We all have an innate ability to do it, for the human species is innately good. We only have to do it.

So keep working on your issues. Take a good and honest look inside and clear out any residues of old fear, anger and pain. As long as we keep going, we’re getting there!
