The Astrology of Makemake, Uranus' Higher Octave!
free e-book download today only!
(sharing the announcement from Alan Clay of www.dwarfplanet.university, who I assisted in writing this book)
There has been such a great response to the launch of our book The Astrology of Makemake, Uranus’ Higher Octave, that we have extended the free downloads for another day. And the deal is, if you like it, pay it forward by writing a review on Amazon, posting something on social media, or by telling a friend about it.
If you are wondering what's in the book, an excerpt from the chapter on the Astrological Meaning can be found below. Please feel free to send this offer on to friends or members of your group that you feel would be interested. Just remind them that they need to act quickly to get the free deal.
Those shy of working with Amazon can order the paperback through any bookshop, either online or brick and mortar. The paperback is still "temporarily unavailable" on Amazon, which I think must be a New Moon eclipse thing. There is often something hidden with the eclipse and this time it looks like it's the paperback. It should be available next week.

The Astrology of Makemake
Makemake is a spiritual trickster who allows us to experiment with the area of life signified by his position in our chart. He drives spirit into our lives and opens us to the richness of sacred consciousness. When we are in tune with this sacred consciousness, we understand that we are each a speck in the vast universe, and yet the spirit energies can flow into us and nourish us, when we are devoted and in the natural rhythm.
He encourages us to see ourselves as an organic whole. We are not just the sum of our disparate parts, we are a living being in which the parts work together to bring us to life. And he encourages us to look at our community in the same way and understand the role we are playing in the larger organic wholes that we are part of. The first of these is our family, and then our school, work, and all the other teams of which we are a member.
The members of a team work together. Through participation and understanding the teamwork process, we learn how to be sensitive and tune in to our fellow team members. As we connect to others on an empathic level, we tune into collective consciousness and find a way to work together. When we come to see and understand how we are affected by our social context, we are able to be in the right place at the right time to play our part.
We can look at Makemake as the higher octave of Uranus, which is traditionally the higher octave of Mercury. Makemake gives Uranus’s intuitive impulses meaning and context, which transforms our understanding of his unexpected ways. And Uranus’s lateral web gives Mercury’s detail an energetic network to organize and connect his information.
Makemake is keen to learn, he shares Mercury’s curiosity, but he is looking at the bigger picture as well as the detail. He talks about freedom, expansiveness, and keen vision, and he encourages us to develop a richer awareness by taking old ideas and playing with them experimentally to liberate the active components.
We know that Uranus brings us intuitive insights, and we have to honor them for the valuable insights that they are, and act on them, or we risk whatever it is manifesting in our lives in a more Saturnian way, so that we eventually get the lesson. With Makemake we need to embrace the rich culture that is created through all these insights. There is an inherent fractal structure in the rich detail of our lives, so that any part of the structure references all other parts.
Makemake reveals this structure, which is the model that we build of our world from Uranus’s intuitive flashes. There is no real world, there are just phenomena which we interpret based on our experience. We then react, based on that interpretation, and so shape our reality through those responses.
So we create our world by how we perceive it and interact with it. Until now, this has largely been an unconscious process, but as we embrace this new energy, we begin to understand the creative power of our personal view of reality. This is the power that ‘great minds’ have to shape the consensus view.
However, when we are at inner planet consciousness, we likely have a more limited, short-term view, which encourages us to cut corners where we see that we can. At this level, Makemake can encourage us to be reckless, and our irreverence of traditional ideas can lead us to engage in double talk and be manipulative with our communication.
We might lose sight of the bigger picture and, as a result, we may not want to play by the rules or cooperate with others. We could indulge in practices such as backbiting and rivalry, which undermine our own position. Or we could try to hog the limelight, rather than humbly play our part, sabotaging the collective success.
We could also take flight to avoid the consequences of our actions or develop an ability to hide in plain sight as a coping skill. Makemake gives us the understanding of the context of each moment and, at this level, we may use that understanding to blend into the background. We become like one of those characters in television ads who are wearing clothes that are patterned like the wallpaper, so we are only seen when we move.
As we develop a more spiritual approach, however, we can find the devotional focus to understand the rich tapestry of our lives that each moment holds. This contact with the bountifulness of cosmic consciousness allows us to joyfully participate in our lives because we feel the profoundness in each experience.
The more we develop spiritually, the more Makemake’s cosmic consciousness cuts through our personal feelings to reveal the bigger perspective that we need in order to transform our understanding of ourselves. We then learn to work together and honor our relationships with what we call our ‘resources’.
At this level, we are able to alchemically break down existing ideas into their component parts and put them back together in new configurations. We understand the context behind the ideas, and this enables us to be playful in this process. As we formulate our new ideas, we become inspired to put them into reality by winnowing them down into usable applications.
And at the spiritually evolved level, we can see the big picture and integrate this with our personal devotional focus at such a deep level that it will likely be called genius. As we deepen this understanding, we experience the world as an organic whole, which allows us to participate as fully as possible.
At this level we know that we’ll get best results when we embrace our dharma with an unflinching gaze and fierce grace that leaves no detail out. Everything that we discover becomes a valuable, creative resource for our growth. We are able to see things as they are and have the power to take action in the face of any eventuality.
