The Sun's archetype.

      The Sun's archetype represents the energy that enables everything else to exist. 
      It is the fundamental energy of Being. It is the Jungian Libido-the force that drives all psychological functions. Just as the physical sun is the life giver to all of the solar system ,so the symbolic archetypical Sun is the basic energy of which all other human archetypes are specialised reflections.
      The Sun represents light,consciousness,day and is the ultimate expression of Yang.It is energising principle of all motion.
      As male/yang the Sun is the archetype of will,power and desire but not necessarily sexual desire( sexual desire is part of the Martian archetype). It has a sense of 'wanting to'.It represents the energy that exerts itself upon and influence whatever may exist.
      The Sun does not simply accept but always seeks to change and improve.Above all it seeks room for greater expression of it's self.It seeks to shine in it's own unique way.
      The Sun gives us integrity as a being.
      It is the will to exist.Yet will meet outside forces that will seek to destroy its expression or change it into something that is not. 
      How many of us actually 'know' what our Sun is?
      How many of us folks truly allow our Sun to 'Shine'?How many of us have been swayed by outside forces to become something that we are not?(like a bonsai tree..twisted this way and that at the behest of our ancestors, teachers, authority figures,gods)
     
      The Sun is the archetypical hero bringing order to chaos through imposing his will.He undergoes a series of trials and challenges on his journey against the power of darkness,to prove his strength and worthiness.At sunset,like the Sun, he descends into darkness to wrestle with the monsters that lurk there.After proving his worth and right he ascends triumphantly into the morning.
     This isn't just a poetic story,this is a journey we  all need to  go through but currently we are unconscious of it's archetype and therefore does become manifest.
    The Sun is a ruler so represents kings and queens,presidents, governments, and employers.
    The Sun also represents the physical body and its energy.A Sun that shines will have  more physical energy and a more robust, healthy body. Obviously the converse will give a person a weaker physical body and less physical energy in life.  
    The Sun needs to be the centre of attention within the group to provide the energy so others can live and act, yet it also seeks acknowledgement of this.
     As the astronomical sun is the centre of the solar system providing energy for the other planets so by using this analogy we can begin to see how vital it is for us to get to know and understand our own personal archetypical Sun and its shining influence on our other planetary archetypes.
    The negative side to the Sun archetype is arrogance, boastful, an over estimation of their own worth.
     Another aspect of the Sun's maleness is the Father.This could be the yang energy in the mother parenting the child or the child's experience of the father though not necessarily the actual father.
    As a component of the Father archetype the Sun can represent all authority figures.It also represents the shaper of the will of the child,particularly to be a free independent 'Shining' being in it's own right.
    
     Let us now look at the astronomical Sun...the beautiful shining orb in our skies that gives life force to all of existence and without which life would not exist.(as a by line..try a sun meditation by getting in touch with the entity/soul that is the sun).

     The Astronomical sun is a star, perfectly spherical consisting of hot plasma interwoven with magnetic fields.
     It's mass accounts for 99.86% of the known solar system.
     It's chemical composition is 75%hydrogen and approximately 23% helium,(remember this is similar to Jupiter's composition.) the remainder is oxygen,carbon, neon and iron with trace elements.
     The sun's energy is created by the nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium.
     Currently there are a number of notable anomalies in the Sun's behaviour  that cannot be explained.
     The first crucial anomaly is the sun is cooling and getting dimmer.Yet massively contradictory to this observation is that all the planets in the solar system are getting warmer,including ours.
    Even the furthest most planet Pluto is getting warmer.How can this be? Also Pluto's atmospheric pressure has risen by 300%.!
    Secondly, the solar winds speed has dropped by 3% and its temperature by 13% and its density by 20%.Again,scientific evidence that a reduced amount of energy available in the solar system.
   
    WHERE IS THE ENERGY COMING FROM TO ACHIEVE THIS WARMING OF THE PLANETS IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM? 


   Also the gas giants Saturn and Jupiter are giving of more energy than they are receiving(over unity). Why?
     Mercury has a magnetic field and the presence of ice on a supposedly dead planet.
     Mars has global warming and huge storms and polar ice cap melting.
    Venus 2500% increase in aural brightness. Substantial increase in global atmospheric changes in 30 years.
    Saturn's 'spokes' were present in 1980/81,but by 2003 they had disappeared.Increased x-rays from the equator.
    Uranus was a cloudless blue globe in 1986 but by 1996 there were profound changes in its atmosphere with many clouds visible.
    Neptune's Great Dark Spot disappeared in from the southern hemisphere in 1994 only to re-appear in the northern hemisphere by 1995. 40% increase in atmospheric brightness.
    Pluto furthest from the sun has 300% increase in atmospheric pressure.
    Non of these observations are from fringe science and I suspect things are much worse.
    These are all very big changes within our solar system and currently there is no working scientific model that can explain this.
   The next article will draw together everything and bring in the pseudoscientific  theory of hyper-dimensional physics,mayan calendar predictions and Nibiru and my own personal insight and repeated vision. 

Jupiter's archetype

      Before I begin this article I will be linking it  up with the archetype of the Sun and then I will bring the two together, followed by an article on the transformation of the Sun and Jupiter and what it means to the individual and the collective human species.So hang on in there! it's a work in progress and will make sense.
      Jupiter's planetary archetype has traditionally been regarded as the great benefic signifying good luck, achievement and success and has always been associated with positive results in every endeavour.(santa claus..ho,ho,ho is a good caricature, full of largesse geniality and abundance.)
     In most cases it is a genuinely constructive influence.
     The shadow side of Jupiter is excesses,waste, sloppiness and arrogance(imagine if you will..a dark santa...dressed in a dark blood red costume consumed with excesses,grandiose ideas and arrogance..Hitler showed this arrogant expanded grandiosity at its most extreme.)
    Jupiter's energies are expansive... and this is the key.                                                        
It expands on ......whatever it transits or touches.
    It expands the sphere of action and experience in which the individual lives and moves.
      In my experience this brings about a sense of glowing achievement,a sense of expansive warmth,a gentle sense of powerfulness, a sense of 'fullness',abundance and a togetherness with everyone.
      The early expression of the Jovian archetype is the child expanding its horizons into the outside world,away from its parents.This is the love of freedom,exploration, growing, learning, travel,increasing her scope of her action and experience out in the world.Yet this also gives rise to excessive growth,waste and sloppiness. In the desire to grow and expand ,the need to handle details and deal with the minor aspects of living get overlooked and are arrogantly deemed unworthy of our attention.This is all part of teenager's journey! 
      Jupiter is also to do with the Father,specifically in his role to encourage the child to expand and go out,into the world.He also has a role in helping to integrate these experiences.This integrative part also gives us a sense of being part of something bigger than ourselves..the cosmos, the universe..god
      So Jupiter encourages the child to overcome the challenges that he/she is facing and to assimilate them.
       
      Yet there is always a limitation to expansion and this is imposed by two forces. 1)That every living entity has a self imposed boundary.(Saturn's archetype)
     2)The outside world can only support so much growth.(Saturn's archetype met from the outside).It needs time to integrate the experiences from that growth.Jupiter again!!


    Let us look at the Astronomy of Jupiter.
The Planet Jupiter is a gas giant with a rocky core of heavy elements.The gas consists mainly of hydrogen with a quarter of its mass being helium. Similar to the sun.It's mass is one thousandth of our sun but two and half times the mass of all the planets in our solar system combined.So it's big.

     Jupiter has 66 satellites of these 50 are less than 10k across.The four largest moons are Io,Europa,Ganymede and Callisto.The moon Ganymede is larger than Mercury giving rise to an oddity of a planet sized moon orbiting a planet.
     The inner 3 moons orbit Jupiter in a 4:2:1 resonance.Meaning Io's orbits Jupiter once to Europa's twice to Ganymede's  four times.The moons receive tidal heating due to Jupiter's gravity field.
     All the moons have water,carbon dioxide and oxygen present.
      So what I'm saying is that the 3 moons are warm and active, have water, oxygen and carbon dioxide and have  balanced orbits around  Jupiter. 
      I feel these moons have the 'right' conditions for life and for it to evolve,if the could only have a Sun to give them more light and warmth. And this is what I'm building up to.
