The Planet of Uranus

Uranus - Winds of Change

Uranus is a sign for 7 years. The Planet Uranus changes signs every 7 years and brings with it change, unexpected events, and sometimes complete upheaval. Uranus tosses us outside our comfort zone to experience life "outside the box". The winds of change blow as Uranus moves our life into new and different directions, giving us experiences that we had not planned on or thought would occur in our life by any stretch of the imagination. In our logical, systematic thought process, we walk along our pathway in life, yet at other times particular events create the change of a lifetime. The Planet of Uranus is usually the messenger of such changes.

Because Uranus stays in one sign for SEVEN years, it is often the planet that is considered the testing ground of the "disciples". Often the experiences, during a SEVEN year cycle of Uranus in a particular sign, bring in the same type of challenges over and over again, regardless of what we do, and regardless of the efforts to thrust change. It is as if the events are not connected to our actions at all, but instead are occurring to see how we "respond" to the events. This is especially true in those events that are seemingly unfairly set against us. These type of events are the tell-tale sign of this SEVEN year testing ground for disciples of Truth.

Uranus in a sign for SEVEN years creates positive easy trines, or challenging side winds of squares, or power struggles of unfairness in oppositions and rags to riches (or visa versa) in conjunctions. It is all for the purpose to bring about greater understanding and spiritual evolution, individually and globally.

Uranus moved into Pisces March 10th, 2003
Uranus takes 84 years to move through all signs and comes back around to provides us great opportunities of awakened awareness and upheaval of the status quo. Viewing Uranus through the eyes of history, Uranus was in Pisces during the Roaring 20's and the time of Prohibition, January 1920 to January 1928.

Uranus moved into Pisces and on that day, whether it was good, bad, or ugly, U.S. President Bush decided to invade Iraq. This decision set Uranus into motion for a SEVEN year generation of events that would impact us all, individually and globally. Some were greatly impacted and others only moderately and others minimally.

However, there were decisions made by other people that began to impact our life that seemed to begin the year before, when Uranus turned retrograde and direct for the last time before going out of the previous sign of Aquarius and into the next sign of Pisces. These events within our home, community, state, country and international setting have occurred and impacted our life since 2003.

People with planets in Pisces, Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius were greatly impacted as the squares, oppositions and conjunctions began the SEVEN year journey, beginning in 2003 that would change our life. This was expressly so as the point of Uranus moving into Pisces also created a square with the placement of Pluto in Sagittarius, 1995 through 2008.

Doorway signs are those signs that at a challenged angle to Uranus. Typically in astrology, much is written about squares in a negative perspective. However, squares are like stairs, they allow us to make major steps upward. Squares are also needed to make major transitions from one room to another, from one way of life to another lifestyle. The true doorway is square, ultimately giving us the opportunity to make an archway out of the transition, by seeing the higher purpose of the arch through the square.

Uranus changing signs (2003) always brings in new focus and new awareness by the changes that Uranus precipitates. Uranus moved into Pisces in March 2003 and has been in the process of kicking up the dust that has been allowed to occur and go unseen during this Pisces (hidden) timeframe.

Uranus sets up and prepares for transition into Aries - March 11, 2011

Uranus was in Aries for a couple months during the summer of 2010. The changes that began to occur opened a major door to Aries energy and shift into new and different directions. Uranus backed out of Aries and will once again move into the fiery sign of Aries in March 2011, which will automatically set the square to Pluto already in Capricorn.

The shift of Uranus into Aries also creates a shift in the doorway signs, those whose life will dramatically change. These new doorway signs are those who have major planets in Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. Uranus will shift the focus away from the previous doorway signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces) and into the current doorway signs. Once Uranus moves into this square position to Pluto on March 11, 2011, there will be another major surge of energy creating significant events and changes for the Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn folks.

Jupiter enters Aries on January 22, 2011 and will be joined by Uranus on March 11, 2011

On January 22, 2011, the planet Jupiter enters. Jupiter usually stays in one sign per year, but because of the short stint in Aries during the summer months of 2010, Jupiter will stay in Aries through June 4, 2011. Jupiter then enters the earthy sign of Taurus.

Jupiter will begin to open the floodgates of Aries for the seven-year generational stay of Uranus in fiery Aries. Jupiter brings events forward to dot the stage with choices made by the expression of the True Self.

Jupiter opens the floodgates for the Uranus in Aries on January 22, 2011

On March 11, 2011, Uranus moves out of Pisces and moves into fiery Aries. With Jupiter setting the stage for Uranus in Aries, we will see a new seven-year generation of events moving our life into a new environment, a new terrain and a new series of events.

Jupiter will set the stage for events created by choices and expression of the True Self. Uranus in Aries brings major events that will set into motion an avalanche of generational happenings that will impact us all.

The most significant impact will again be focused on the doorway signs, and those whose life will be dramatically changed; Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn folks, and those who major planets within those signs. The movement of Uranus in Aries will signal Saturn in the opposite sign of Libra to begin the shot across the bow, and Pluto already in Capricorn becomes the powerhouse of transformation.

Since Uranus takes 84 years to move through all signs and complete an orbit, we can view Uranus through the eyes of history, Uranus was in Pisces during the Roaring 20's and the time of Prohibition, January 1920 to January1928. The movement of Uranus into Aries began a whole new generation of events, during it's time in Aries from January 1928 to May 1935. The delusional time of 1928 began to be revealed as Uranus entered into Aries beginning in 1928, resulting in changes that had a definite impact, moving events into a whole new direction beginning in 1928.

Saturn in opposition to Jupiter and Uranus, all squaring Pluto in Capricorn
Saturn in Libra has brought the light of accountability to the Libra focus, the industries that portend to stand for equality, fairness and justice, which highlights the Judicial Industry. The excuse of immunity that has long given the cloak of justice to those in power will be taken away as Jupiter moves into Aries, asking the questions of the Aries "true self" qualities. The spectrum of Aries is of true, innovative leadership or of the unmitigated arrogance of self-serving power. With both Jupiter and Uranus moving into Aries (opposite of Saturn in Libra), the accountability issues of equality, fairness and justice come into the spotlight in a very powerful way. The lighting of these events have a "spanish inquision" flare of displaced power used under the cloak of justice, misused within the Judicial Industry and other positions of power.

Issues within the corporate work place and other industries in which fairness and equality are to contain the human resources issues against bullying and other forms of harrassment, however, during the time that Saturn is in Libra, we will see the inequality issues being brought into a heightened view. The public service sector jobs in which harrassment and bullying are "entitled" behavior for some will begin to be reeled in. Also the sector of folks that expect others to pay their way because they are prone to non-action and have an "entitlement" attitude will also be called to come into a balance perspective.

Saturn in Libra requires accountability, requires equality, fairness and justice. The fact that Jupiter and Uranus move into Aries, opposition to Saturn, calling in the square of Pluto in Capricorn, provides the viewing of many decisions and events that have occurred, some back to 2003 (when Uranus entered Pisces) and some back even further. This provides a shift of perspective and a shift of power once the light of reality brings all into view. Saturn stays in Libra through October 2012.

Uranus in Aries sets a new pace for 2011

With Uranus moving into Aries on March 11, 2011, we will placed on a new stage that is set to the shift a generation of events. Uranus assesses situations and assists in the process to reveal the true self. Aries is the beginning of the zodiac and thus provides the seeds of self expression, motives, ethics that determine the response and "karma" of reaping the seeds that are sown. If there are issues that require adjustments or disclosures before this can happen, Uranus will bring total perspective of the inner and outer workings of situations to facilitate this revealing process. Usually Uranus asssesses and reviews the seven-year events that occurred while Uranus was moving through the previous sign (Pisces from 2003 - 2010) that determine the seeds planted and the reflected events that are now ready to reveal the appropriate harvest. Uranus in Pisces prompts many delusional events that when Uranus moves into Aries, reality hits and can hit hard.

It is the shift of Uranus into Aries that activates a new phase of our Life Journey as changes reveal the True Self.

February 2012 Highlights

February is universally a SEVEN* month (in numerology* terms). SEVEN represents new realizations and a new level of understanding, which is a primary occurrance during the SEVEN month. The SEVEN requires that we have face-to-face realizations that give us a new awareness and understanding. The typical response to the SEVEN energy is to think that we are suddenly depressed rather than realizing that we are being called to listen to the inner voice providing important guidance through being aware. To be attentive on an inner level is important during the SEVEN month as many pieces of information, guidance and awareness come into focus, which is the gift of the SEVEN month.

Transition into the FIVE year of 2012

2012 is universally a FIVE year. Change, breakthrough and freedom becomes the energy of the new year. We have finally reached the summit of the FIVE year, as the long, dark, cold climb of the last four years, since 2008, has finally graced us with the rays of light of 2012. The light pulls us forward and gives us the chance to see that the summit has awaited our arrival to grant us a view of the mid-point of our nine-year journey. We can see how high we have climbed and traverse across the summit to see the stunning view of the other side where sunshine, the rolling green hills and the roads will take us to the next phase of our journey. The FIVE year changes many things about our life and to finally get to the FIVE year of 2012 becomes the shift that renews our optimism and excitement about life.
