An impatient revolution … Jupiter square Uranus

Leave a comment

Today is a day of impatiently wanting to change the world!!

Jupiter has hit exact square with Uranus, again sparking off the energy of the Uranus-Pluto Square that is defining our times.  With this particular aspect, we get the boundless enthusiasm of Jupiter in its pursuit of meaning and higher ideals, coming up against the anarchic force of Uranus seeking freedom and sweeping away anything that is blocking its path.  It is impetus for change, no doubt, but there might just be a wee bit of impatience in the process.  Likely as not, the feeling of wanting to shift has been building for the last week or so, and this aspect brings opportunity and push to make stuff happen.  These are energies not to waste … now is the time to make change. The caution with Jupiter square Uranus is about being over-confident, mistaking arrogance for genius and letting the enthusiasm go in an undirected path.  And with Mercury still in its last few days of retrograde, it is useful to take a moment and a deep breath before pushing the send button.  But push it anyway! Who knows what’s on the other side?!

A New Year’s Evolution

Leave a comment

… if Christmas was unconventional, then this New Year marks a massive opportunity for evolution!

On the first of January, Mars moves into Square with Pluto, again reinforcing the ‘evolve or evaporate’ power of the Pluto-Uranus Square.  At the same time, New Year’s Day is a New Moon day, which sees both the Sun and Moon conjunct (in the same place as) Pluto and Mercury.  The energy is powerful, intense, dramatic and dynamic.  The opportunity for change is palpable.  But with these combinations, it is a day to be aware of the potential for destruction, and to go gently rather than forcefully.

New Moon Year 2014

Mars is the assertive planet and Pluto is the transformative one, so when these two join in a 90 degree (Square) configuration, the desire to assert self and the need for transformation can be pulling us in different directions.  There tends to be lots of energy with this transit, and it can be quite ruthless and destructive if we’re not in tune with our underlying ego drives.  This might manifest outwardly as arguments or struggles with others, or inwardly as self-destruction.  Uranus is still involved, so the energy is radical and where it manifests is unpredictable.  And remember that everyone will be feeling this to some degree, so there are likely to be people out there who are upset, angry, irritated and hell-bent on causing hassles without knowing where the drive is coming from … be aware and take care.

What the New Year energy demands of us is that we get real with what is really driving us at heart, and act with consciousness.  The day is activating the ‘evolve or evaporate’ energy of the Pluto-Uranus square, which is marking the whole 2012-2015 period, and is a time for upheaval and radical transformation of personal, social nad cultural norms and values. So the chance for change is positive, and the drive to evolve is necessary, it is just that this New Year the shake-up might feel a bit challenging!

New Year ’s Day is also a New Moon, and it is a potent one with the Moon-Sun-Pluto-Mercury conjunction.  A powerful day for setting new intentions.

My mantra for New Year’s Day … breathe, feel, relax, release … and then act!

Doing Christmas differently

There is nothing conventional about the astral energy of this Christmas … and maybe that creates an opportunity to do it differently this time around.

Mars is in Libra at the moment, which would usually be quite a calm experience of the assertive, aggressive, driven energy of Mars; Libra being the sign of balance and moderation.  But on Wednesday evening (AEST), the fiery planet is exactly opposite Uranus (the unconventional planet), creating irritability and tension, and adding to the challenges that Christmas expectations already bring.  When Mars is opposite Uranus there is a tendency for impatient, impulsive, reactive ego expressions, with each of us striving to break free of what we experience as inhibiting restrictions.  So, anything that is seen as conventional or traditional (hmm, sounds like Christmas!!), if it feels like it is stifling our individuality, it will create tension and difference.  So, if you ever wanted to do Christmas differently, this is the year to break from tradition.

Keep in mind though, that with Venus retrograde, we are all being overly subjective in our relating at the moment, and lacking in our usual capacity to see the other’s perspective.  So, asserting unconventional (Uranus) ego (Mars) energy is likely to ruffle feathers.

Complicating all this, Mars in Libra is activating the “evolve or evaporate’ energy of the Pluto-Uranus square.  if you’ve been reading my earlier posts on this (see here https://uranusrising.com/2013/05/21/pluto-square-uranus-21st-march-2013/ ), the whole period for 2012-2015 is a time for upheaval of norms and for radical transformations.  Mars getting in on the act over the next couple of weeks gives massive impetus to this change, but its Mars, so it might not be gentle.

Remember that everyone on the planet is doing this same stuff together, so break traditions where they need to be broken, but keep in mind that everyone else is also feeling the tension, so take extra care to do it with kindness.
