Uranus in Aries
Uranus
was the first planet to be discovered with the telescope
and was found accidentally by W. Herschel in England on
March 13, 1781 when Uranus was transiting the tropical sign
of Gemini. The major event at that period was the
American Revolutionary War (1775–1783). As Uranus
became a new reality so did the consciousness of democracy
that was being fought for during Uranus' discovery and that
is one reason that Uranus is associated with revolutions,
freedoms, independence and technology since a telescope was
needed to find Uranus.
Uranus demands
freedom and progress and Pluto forces reform and Saturn
represents government and authority. These three
planetary energies will be in high tension with each other
the end of July 2010. The last time these planets
were at cross purposes was 1965 and in fact what is
happening this summer is the beginning of testing the
strong beliefs that were ignited in the mid 60’s as seen
with the US Civil Rights battle, Vietnam War protests,
feminist movement, and all the violence exploding in US
cities. The political and ideological protests of the
sixties, that seemed to wane into self-serving apathy is
suddenly exploding to the surface
again.
Uranus aligns
with Pluto roughly once every 125 years on average. The
last Uranus-Pluto conjunction was the Virgo alignment of
1965-66. The next will be the 2104 in Taurus. The last
conjunction of Uranus/Pluto was in Aries, preceding the
Civil War in 1850/51 with the rise of the abolitionist
movement demanding freedom for all people. The conjunction
triggers social reform as the masses rise against the
previous belief systems. When Uranus forms its first
90-degree angle between the UranusPluto conjunction is when
the demand for social change is often reignited. The
last Uranus Pluto 90-angle was 1932/1933 during the Great
Depression that helped create the New
Deal, which brought a watershed of domestic reforms
unparalleled in U.S. history after a total collapse of the
economy. Pluto was in Cancer and Uranus was in Aries
and in 2012-2014 Uranus will be in Aries again but Pluto be
in the opposite sign of Capricorn. Cancer rules the
home and domestic issues but Capricorn focuses more on
business and world affairs so many of the effects coming up
will be more international.
Uranus entering
Aries May 27 – August 13, 2010 is only a preview of what’s
to transpire as Uranus and Pluto are in a 90-degree angle
2012 through 2014. A preview because Uranus in Aries
begins now to form the angle to Pluto in Capricorn but not
yet at its strongest point and plus restrictive Saturn is
opposing Uranus the end of July and squaring Pluto in
August. 2010. The energies for social change around
the world are definitely intensifying this June through
August but the impact is not at full strength and Saturn
will be delaying and controlling the outcome. This is
why I state that we are only going to witness the rumblings
and frustrations for social, political and corporate change
but the threshold demanding reform will peak 2012 through
2014. Pluto rules reform and major overhauls and
Saturn rules Capricorn and therefore it rules over business
and governments. The last time Pluto was reforming
government ideology was during the American Revolution and
the founding of the first democratic society. The
next couple of years is not just triggering again the angry
protestors of the 60’s but it’s awakening the sleeping
giant of social and political revolution that demanded
democracy in the 18th
Century that
began with the American Revolution and then onto the French
Revolution.
The planets and
signs rule various aspects of life and Uranus rules over
rebellion, liberation and independence along with
inventions and technology. Aries represents new
frontiers, courage, ambition, energy, impatience and
war. Uranus transits through all the signs every 84
years and Pluto’s cycle is 248 years. Uranus transit
through Aries would indicate the sudden demand for
independent action and rebellion against constraints. Pluto
is currently in Capricorn from 2008 through 2023 but the
last time was 1762 – 1778 when the US signed its
Declaration of Independence igniting the revolutionary war.
Uranus rules the middle class that was first developing in
the US because of it’s new government of democracy. The
French Revolution (1789–1799) shortly followed was a period
of radical social and political upheaval in French and
European history.
The Uranus was
in Pisces from 2003 through March 2011 except with the
Aries period May 27 to August 13, 2010. Pisces
rules the unconsciousness, the divine and our inner lives
so it’s great for healing, intuition, creativity and the
spiritual life. Uranus in Pisces would have tried to
awaken these qualities within all of us but for those who
are more shut down, unconscious or stuck in rigid belief
systems it would have been terribly threatened as their
reality was coming under attack by the prevailing
beliefs. Therefore some of us were having
inspirational breakthroughs on various levels and others
where having nervous breakdowns or becoming more fanatical
as the fight to preserve their previous way of life, as
seen among the religious terrorists attacking the freedoms
of democracy. But progress always wins, eventually,
but often with explosive resistance to
change.
Aries rules all
things new, pioneering, energy, courage and
independence. As Uranus rules over technology as well
as social reform the positive affects of Uranus in Aries
through 2019 could indicate major advancements into the new
frontiers of climate and environmental technologies,
alternative energies, and more independent wireless
computers to enhance the qualities of our lives. New ideas
could inspire and expand with great
speed.
Uranus
in Aries for your Sun sign or rising
sign.
Keep in mind
that Pluto in Capricorn will force any necessary change for
your individual development so the best thing you could do
is become more self-aware and take responsibility for your
actions or life could take responsibility for
you.
Aries:
You will rebel against any self-imposed limitations.
You could suddenly change your appearance. Marriage
or any important relationship that feels restrictive could
become disruptive as you feel a strong need to be
free. Or you may just be feeling rebellious in
general. A great period to awaken a deeper
self-awareness through the use of yoga, meditation,
astrology, psychology or any consciousness expanding
techniques.
Taurus:
Aries rules your 12th
house of the
unconscious, all things repressed or hidden; such as
secrets along with retreats, ashrams and prisons.
Uranus awakens consciousness so that during its transit of
the 12th
you
could suddenly wake up to repressed memories, or have
prophetic dreams, or receive unexpected inspirations.
This could be a roller coaster of emotions however it’s
your authentic self that is trying to surface and wake you
up. The more you allow the process the easier and more
exciting it will be for you so start learning to meditate
if you haven't yet begun.
Gemini:
Your expectations and aspirations will suddenly fall into
place or you will realize how limited your goals have been
as you strive for bigger dreams. Your friends and
affiliations will also change quite suddenly in many
cases. As your goals change so will your friendships
as seen when you attract a better paying job and you are
introduced to other more successful people or a previous
friendship becomes jealous at your advancement. As
you change your goals and aspirations you will attract
other friendships.
Cancer:
Expect radical changes in your profession. Either you
will suddenly lose a job causing the need to find another,
or an opportunity for advancement will show up out of the
blue. Sometimes it’s when you finally have your break
with the dreams you had been pursuing maybe for
years. You could be rebelling against authority
figures; such as bosses, parents or the government.
Your social status could change dramatically for the better
or worse depending on your own choices. The major theme is
excitement in your profesional life.
Leo:
Aries rules your 9th
of
higher education, media, philosophy, the law, travel and
foreign affairs. Uranus always brings in the element
of the unexpected as well as revolutionary changes.
You may decide to go back to school or travel to a foreign
country for the first time. Some of you could become
famous or infamous in the media. Many unexpected
trips are typical of this transit. This is a great
period to expand your belief systems and broaden your
outlook on life but if you are stuck in rigid bigotries
this period could be very upsetting to your
worldview.
Virgo:
The 8th
house rules
joint finances, legacies, taxes, insurance, banking and
death or endings. Uranus could suddenly change for
the good or bad your partner’s finances or your own
income. An inheritance or even a lottery win could
suddenly occur and change your finances. Divorce,
death, bankruptcies or business contracts ending are
probable as Uranus can shake-up and upset all kinds of
financial agreements. The positive beyond the
financial windfalls would be a dramatic change triggering a
rebirth or an opportunity to reinvent
yourself.
Libra:
Uranus in Aries is transiting your 7th
of
marriage, partnerships, public recognition and
contracts. Uranus wants to rebel against old
restrictions and seek freedom. If your relationships
have settled into a dull routine you could suddenly break
free or your partner could unexpectedly leave you.
Many will divorce or suddenly find a new life partner or a
business partnership. Fame or notoriety could also
suddenly change your life as public recognition would also
change how you relate to others. What you seek is a new way
of relating to others who are important to
you.
Scorpio:
Your 6th
house of work,
your daily routine and job tasks, along with service and
body maintenance will be affected with sudden changes both
good or bad. Usually a new attitude will compel a job
change unless you have been resisting finding a better
situation and then you find that you have lost your
job. You could have a sudden health event but
hopefully you can dramatically change your lifestyle habits
for the better. Uranus tends to wake us up and
therefore is more positive than not so a new job and a new
diet and exercise program fits the bill.
Sagittarius:
Uranus transiting your 5th
house sector
will usually be exciting as it highlight issues of
entertainment, games, children, creativity, speculation,
sports and romance. You will feel a strong pull to
break from any dull routines and have fun, take risks, and
express any latent creative talents. You could
unexpectedly get pregnant so keep that in mind but you may
have more interaction with children in general.
Gambling or risky speculative investments may tempt you and
as long as you have done your homework you should be okay.
Romance could strike at any moment.
Capricorn:
The 4th
sector of your
chart rules your past, family, home and your emotional
foundation. During this transit Uranus will trigger
sudden changes in family, marriage or residence. In
most cases you are well aware of the need for a major
change in your personal life and many will move during this
transit. Uranus only rebels against boredom or
restrictions and where your home or family life has become
stale or confining the Uranus transit will demand you shake
things up or break free. This is an great opportunity to
start a new life in a new city or another
country.
Aquarius:
Uranus will be entering your 3rd
house sector of
siblings, neighbors, communications, short trips, speaking
and learning, and the everyday tempo of your life, which
will be speeded up by Uranus. All intellectual
pursuits will be exciting and for some, you may suddenly
write a book, speak to groups or take a class. You
could be learning astrology or how to use new
technologies. Relationships with siblings or
neighbors could sudden change that could be inspiring or
disturbing. The main thing is that your everyday schedule
will not be dull and routine.
Pisces:
Uranus will be transiting your 2nd
of
income. Uranus indicates the unexpected so that money could
show up where you least expect it. Usually you will
become aware of new ways of creating income. Since
Uranus seeks independence you could start a side-line
business or become self-employed or begin working in sales
or where your income is based on commissions. This
usually means that your income can fluctuate but also come
in large sums; such as closing business or real estate
deals.
