The biggest news story of the past week was India’s monumental achievement of landing Chandrayaan-3 on the surface of the Moon.
This was a big victory because the area in which it landed—the South Pole of the Moon—is believed to have water ice deposits.
So far, only four nations have achieved a soft landing on the Moon’s surface:
- The Soviet Union (Interkosmos) with Luna 9 and Luna 13 in 1966.
- United States (NASA) with Apollo 11 in 1969.
- China (CNSA) with Chang’e 3 in 2013.
- India (ISRO) with Chandrayaan-3 in 2023.
Although the fervor of the 1960s is not so apparent, it does seem the Space Race has entered a new era.
Synchronistically, in 1966, 1969, and 2013 the planets Jupiter and Uranus were in alignment. It is no coincidence that the two planets just came into alignment this June.
Jupiter is the planet of growth, success, and expansion.
Uranus is the planet of innovation, liberation, and breakthrough.
When the two planets are in alignment, we often see these recurring themes:
- Suddenly broadened horizons
- Scientific breakthroughs
- Excessive drive for change and variety
- Unexpected major disruptions
- Quantum leaps
- Peak experiences
So it makes sense that the collective consciousness during all those periods, including today, was/is being pushed in a certain direction; in the direction of technological (Uranus) achievement (Jupiter).
We can only imagine that the next country to achieve such a feat would do so during a Jupiter-Uranus alignment.
The current Jupiter-Uranus alignment will be with us until the end of 2024 summer. I have a feeling we’re going to be witnessing many more breakthroughs on the world stage, along with our own personal peak experiences.
