Astronomical events could impact our being (CMEs, solar flares, eclipses). Astrological planetary influences, too. Astrological influences are mostly personal but there are some collective experiences. Here's my understanding of the collective experience/influences from various sources:
Galactic Center
One interesting piece of story that is unfolding in the heavens now is our system's approach to the galactic center, which is by the sign of Sagittarius, the Centaur. He is half human and half horse. This shows the split between our human nature and animal nature.
It is a time of understanding/accepting/forgiving/out-growing our animal nature (emotions, especially anger & fear... our 'survival' instinct) and becoming more human - more 'spiritual' understanding and approach to being. This is the evolution of our humanity... to be human/humanity, whatever that means to you!
There's a very interesting link to the various stars in Constellation Sagittarius like the "Gate to Heaven" but I'll share that info later.
Uranus opposition Pluto
Right now we're collectively experiencing something called a 'synodic' opposition between Uranus and Pluto. This is a time of revolutions (e.g., arab spring) and revelations.
So combining this Uranus-Pluto thing with our approach to the galactic center in the sign of Sagittarius, the Centaur... we come to the point of making choices.
Choices
We're basically being asked about our choices. Do we approach things through the more animalistic urges to be fearful, angry, etc., or do we approach things with a more spiritual/humanistic orientation?
The first choice will yield internal and external wars. Unresolved emotions, running wild with one's emotions, exaggerations of situations or grandiosity, cheating on your partner with many others, fights/discord in relationships with other self, physical violence, wars, bloody revolutions to unseat a dictator or belief systems, reactionary political movements that are created out of people's anger and frustrations, etc., etc.,.
The second choice is about being able to see things through the eyes of compassion/love and wisdom. The Centaur holds a bow and arrow. It's about being a proficient archer who aims its target towards the 'truth.' The point being, not to actually hit the eye of 'truth' but learning through the process of understanding your self (revelation) with deep concentration, stillness, and discipline. Here is the archery metaphor:
Jupiter
Jupiter, the ruling planet of Sagittarius, reminds us to be generous with self and others, be compassionate to self and other self, use a bit of humor to ease the heaviness, share with others, stay busy, learn new things, work out if you feel moody, understand self and other self, and use inner guidance system.
Caution: influence of Jupiter/Sag is that it has the capacity to expand too much (part of the 'animalistic' nature of not knowing when to stop... as the ability to pace oneself is the function of the more 'human nature').
