Jupiter-Uranus Square

A call to action, and for the betterment of all!

This pair of planets first connected in August of 2013, and remain connected through early summer, via the “call to action” type of contact (aspect in astrology speak).  Uranus shakes things up, often through rebellion in numbers, with the intent of liberation from oppression. Globally this message has been heard in Syria and now recently in Ukraine.  Jupiter keywords include improvement, expansion, the courts and the legal system and foreign lands. One can easily see these themes playing out in the global picture, and most likely in countries we don’t even hear about in the news. In fact, Jupiter rules journalism and broadcasting, and social media has played a huge role is social movements worldwide. Closer to home there are headlines featuring equal rights for the gay and lesbian communities, as well as a growing movement to protect the food supply from giants like Monsanto. (Cancer rules food, and this is the sign Jupiter now occupies)

Uranus in Aries: May 27th 2010 to May 15th 2018

More than any outer planet, Uranus sets trends that reflect cultural tastes and styles. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, so a “first” is expected to arrive within the next five years. Independence and doing it alone are trademarks of Aries, which also has the reputation of acting on impulse. Consequently we could jump into things at a moments’ notice, the proverbial “jump before you look”, and then end up wishing we had thought better of it.

Uranus in Aries SPEEDS life up, and faster with each passing year! Have you noticed how fast the holiday season came and went? Did you notice how fast you made decisions regarding gifts and/or entertaining? Or perhaps you made plans and then had to change them, and perhaps again after that? This is Uranus in Aries which is all about NOW, and not a moment later. This bodes well for “living in the now” but no forethought after now can mean headaches later.

Uranus in Aries has a short fuse and little patience. When confronted with a stumbling block our reaction may be swift and anger can get the best of us. Frustration can also trigger explosive reactions, which leave as quickly as they came. Aries reactions never linger, as fast as they come they are gone, and sensitive types may have a harder time recovering from a heated exchange (which may not have been targeted at them in the first place).

Uranus in Aries reminds us of the importance of physical activity, which releases negative pent up emotions in a more productive way. If channeled through exercise and activities, we are likely to see more competitiveness within ourselves emerging. Nothing motivates you more than beating your own negative expectations. The flip side of the coin can be winning at all costs, with an inflated ego that wants what it wants when it wants it!

Uranus in Aries affects the head (in general) and disorders may become more pronounced as a result. Microwaves are everywhere now, and the impact they have upon our minds may be forth coming. Specific mention is made relative to how developing minds that are exposed to way too much stimulation, leading to disorders like attention deficit disorder. Other age related mental conditions like Alzheimer’s are likely to be connected to dietary and/or environmental factors.

Uranus in Aries brings about conditions that are HOT, perhaps through storms and/or fires. Climate itself will continue to set records, as witnessed two weeks prior to the 2013 holiday period. Accidents are also likely, as witnessed with the tsunami that affected Japan (2011). Aries energy prompts this description: “if it (event) does not kill you in the first five minutes you’ll have a hell of a story to tell afterwards”. Aries energy goes into autopilot mode when events occur; thinking is left behind in order the address the most urgent needs first. To plan ahead for an Aries event is senseless, because you won’t see it coming (in most cases).

Finally, Uranus in Aries signals new beginnings for everyone! Beginnings will vary person to person, but they will take place. For this reason consider what you can do to help facilitate the process. It’s time to release an old pattern/situation and to move on

wards from it. Be fearless and brave, not reckless and stupid. The choice is yours: be reactive or be proactive.

Leo Full Moon Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine’s Day! The Full Moon on the 14th brings added drama and a desire to DO something for the sake of love. The question is: what should you do? The answer depends on your situation, and stable situations get a rush of energy to move forward, whereas weaker “ties” (to one another) are likely to find this period difficult. Expect to see things change quickly on the day by day level, and where ever possible have a sit down chat and clear the air. Express lovingly with your words and they will fall on open ears. Avoid making mountains over molehills, and above all else, don’t let your ego to get the best of you!

What message is the Sun sending you?

The Sun (think HUGE spotlight) is at the "direct degree" of Mercury on March 1st, giving us insights on information and/or pending decisions that are unfolding now. Yesterday, today and tomorrow are days to pay attention to, and what comes at you is not likely to end up as expected. I have a personal story unfolding...what about you? Please share!
