Happy Full Moon Night to All,<\/p>\n
Uranus has reached the halfway point on its seven-year journey through Aries, so it\u2019s a good time to look at what that combination has been creating in the world\u2014and what we can look forward to more of. It\u2019s good, very good. But first, let\u2019s wrap up where that big, bad grand cardinal cross (GCC) I wrote about last time has left us.<\/p>\n
What happened with all that spring-loaded tension in the sky? Lots of big earthquakes (6.0 or higher on the Richter scale) happened, encouraged by the extra gravitational effects of the four planets involved in the GCC, but fortunately only one was big (in Iquique, Chile). Noplace exploded in disaster, no wars began or flared up, and even the Ukraine situation has been remarkably contained. Maybe the world is becoming just a bit kinder and gentler, day by day.<\/p>\n
But since then…..I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve been wondering what\u2019s up with all the crazy \u201che acted alone\u201d school shootings??? It seems like there has been one every day! Well, after two and a half months of retrograding, Mars turned direct on May 19th (meaning it has moved from a pose of internal frustration to one of external expression). Since then, large-scale violence has flared up in a few places\u2014notably, Iraq\u2014because Mars is still tensely opposing Uranus, in Libra and Aries respectively. This has been bringing up many people\u2019s interpersonal angst, and\u00a0 since Mars is still square to Pluto, there\u2019s control issues and suppressed, volcanic emotionalism tossed in.<\/p>\n
If that doesn\u2019t sound like a calm situation, you\u2019re right. It\u2019s a recipe for tragedy in a gun-loaded culture.\u00a0 For awhile, we can expect to see a few people relieving their tension by taking direct, aggressive action against their perceived enemies. This angst and tension should be easing off by mid-July\u2014although early July is looking to be action-packed on many fronts.<\/p>\n
It also bears mentioning that Pluto was going crazy last week (making nine contacts with other planets, i.e., almost all of them), so transformation of all kinds is everywhere, and difficult-to-swallow secrets are slipping out at every turn. These things have all been contributing to the stresses many of us have been feeling so acutely. It is not an easy thing to do to balance all this energy, but that\u2019s what we should be trying to do as best we can. Balance leads to healthy expression, while wild swings create problems.<\/p>\n
Remember that the planets reflect what is going on here on Earth, on both the outer and inner planes. Things that are happening in our lives and in the world are calling us to examine how we are participating in those events. What are we allowing or settling for? What are we contributing to actively?<\/p>\n
Now back to Uranus and Aries and some much more positive news!<\/p>\n
Uranus is in a fine place while it is in the sign of Aries (until spring 2018, passing\u00a0 frenzies like GCC\u2019s not withstanding). It heralds a courageous new future for the world, in many ways. It supports the unique, individual self coming forth from within each and every one of us. Aries wants to assert itself, and Uranus insists on marching to its own inner drumbeat. Everybody is feeling strong urges to come out of their (often self-imposed) closet-ed imprisonments.<\/p>\n
Much progress has been made over the last three years, bringing issues of race and sex and gender discrimination to light and creating great and stirring public debate on these subjects. Think of how far we\u2019ve come in the areas of acceptance of the LGBT community, and people seem remarkably less willing to tolerate racism and misogyny now than just a few years ago. It\u2019s as if, at a planetary level, we\u2019ve really had it with this crap! That is the courage of Aries forging the way for everyone to be free to express themselves in unique ways (Uranus).<\/p>\n
Since it\u2019s still part of that GCC formation, Uranus\u2019 energy is not coming out easily these days. \u201cFits and starts\u201d seems to apply right now, since it\u2019s coming from an underlying tension of great magnitude, one that\u2019s longing for the freedom of full and honest self-expression. This is what we\u2019re all feeling.<\/p>\n
Here are some good keywords (and keyphrases) to keep in mind for the next three years or so: individualism, sudden realizations, sweeping changes, restlessness, activities involving large groups of people, pioneering spirit, expression of genius, quick impulsive action, rebelliousness or a need to break free from limiting conditions, erratic behavior, technological inventions, and nervous system strain. And I would throw in \u201crevolution.\u201d<\/p>\n
In general, Gil-Scott Heron was right; this revolution will not be televised. It\u2019s a revolution of the heart, which I believe will win the day and the future. (It\u2019s too boring to show people helping each other\u2014where\u2019s the drama in that?) I really like this video, dated though it is. It was ahead of its time and the basic idea applies well now:<\/p>\n
http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BS3QOtbW4m0<\/a><\/p>\n It bears repeating that many people seem to be feeling pretty discombobulated lately. (Okay, all year.) We find ourselves at a confluence of sorts, in which new and old systems are flowing together and clashing\u2014confusing everyone. We are developing new technologies at an extraordinary rate, and yet some older wisdom is actually coming back into view, as if to balance. So we\u2019re looking in both directions at once, looking for something to hold onto against the roaring river as the waters rise. This is the nexus of change and it is very disorienting.<\/p>\n I encourage you to consider the words of my favorite Jackson Browne song,<\/p>\n \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 For a Dancer:<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cPerhaps a better world is drawing near<\/p>\n Just as easy it could all disappear<\/p>\n Along with whatever meaning you might have found<\/p>\n Don\u2019t let the uncertainty turn you around<\/p>\n Go and make a joyful sound.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Here\u2019s the whole song, though not via a special video:<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=78AVc2jV4Sg<\/a><\/p>\n May you contribute to Peace on and in Earth, Rich<\/i><\/p>\n <\/i>by Rich Moser, Transcendental Astrology\u00a0<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n <\/i>rcycles@transcendentalastrology.com<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 805.845.4805<\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" June 12, 2014 Happy Full Moon Night to All, Uranus has reached the halfway point on its seven-year journey through Aries, so it\u2019s a good time to look at what that combination has been creating in the world\u2014and what we can look forward to more of.
