Steps needed to isolate a general solution of the complete hydromagnetic equations are outlined. In this solution, the axisymmetric magnetosphere that surrounds the central object consists of two regions. The first, around the magnetic equator, is controled by closed and dipole-like magnetic field lines wherein the plasma is in static equilibrium with the magnetic and gravitational fields. The second, around the magnetic axis, is controlled by flows along the open and monopole-like magnetic field lines. The total pressure is continuous everywhere and the solution is globally consistent. In the solar wind, for example, coronal holes can be associated with the region of open field lines and helmet streamer-type structures with the static regions of closed lines. In cosmic jets the accretion disk can be associated with the region of closed lines and the jet with the outflows along the open magnetic lines. Similar considerations may apply to the pulsar magnetosphere and bipolar flows from molecular clouds.
