Uranus: The Disruptor

The personal unconscious holds the whole store of our life memories & is directly connected to the Akashic record where we can find the threads that take us into our soul journey back to Source. Often, the energy of Uranus will appear to disrupt but actually, it is what Rumi referred to when he penned the line, “the wound is where the light enters you…” Later on, Ralph Waldo Emerson penned the words, “There is a crack in everything god has made…” and in modern times, Leonard Cohen reworked this concept when he sang, “the crack is where the light gets in…”

My fellow astrologer, Sharon Wisemyn, refers to Uranus as “freedom disguised as loss…” In all cases, we see that the bridge into the light must traverse a potential peril, a chasm, a crack, a loss, or a deficit. It truly is a condition of this human existence.

The vast store of experience that Uranus can unlock within our psyches is the bridge between us, as finite individuals and infinite spirit. It is through the individuation process that Uranus transits trigger that we might suddenly glimpse our true potential and that to which we are all aspiring, something far beyond anything that is contained in three-dimensional time.

The orbit of Uranus is 84 years & he spends 7 years in each of the 12 signs. We live our life within one full orbit of Uranus, more or less.

We have all been experiencing the rumbles and cracks as Uranus has been transiting Taurus. The Earth herself is groaning under the weight of accumulated errors that our species has been making on an organic level. Nature, ultimately, will not be mocked. There is a difference between ‘working with’ and ‘working against’ Natural Law. This 7-year-long transit will continue through 2024.

Locate where Taurus is in your own chart & monitor what sort of disruptions & eruptions occur and whether they lead you into the light of freedom. As with all energetic processes, we, the individuals, are the variable in the equation of life.

Neptune: The Divine Connection

The place where we are connected collectively is demonstrated by Neptune. What is this spiritual presence that some feel, that some refuse to feel, that some are searching for, that some have lost? Are we merely ‘dust’? Is there a consciousness that supersedes this current one? Is there a God and if so, what is the nature of this God? If God is dead, is there a way to resurrect this God? Can we live without God? All of these types of questions are in the realm of Neptune. Neptune is the place where we first stop after crossing the Uranian bridge between the finite and the infinite.

Neptune’s orbit is 165 years long and he transits each sign for about 14 years. He defines, along with Pluto and to some degree, Uranus the generational groups of humanity. We are currently at the end of what has felt like a VERY long period of Neptune in Pisces. The confusion & lack of direction that many feel is simply because, while Neptune has been transiting Pisces, we have all, in our ways, been searching for the DIVINE and that presence in our lives has been unclear, shadowed, hidden from a clear-eyed view. It takes hard work to solidify and hold firm to a spiritual certainty and in many cases, we have lost the will to do the work.

January 1, 2024:                                Neptune @ 25* PIS 4”

July 2, 2024:                                        Neptune SRx @ 29*PIS 55”

December 7, 2024:                          Neptune SD @ 27* PIS 7”

December 31, 2024:                        Neptune @ 27*PIS 17”

As with all of the transits, personalize it.  Locate Pisces in your chart and then become still & consider his presence in that part of your life. If Neptune is touching one of your personals, this is a time of deep surrender for you. As the saying goes…”resistance is futile…”

 

Pluto: The Transformer

Pluto is now completing his transit of Capricorn and ready to get to work via Aquarian Energy. What will be transformed, uncovered, revealed, destroyed, or even transmuted over the next 2 decades? Will humanity get back on track? Find a new path? Create LOVE? Alter the way we are connected? For better? For worse? All valid and pressing questions all of us must explore.

The 2-decade transit of Pluto in Aquarius is now fully launched. No more excuses. Either we meet the challenge of our times or…

There are 4 eclipses in 2024 as follows:

March 25, 2024, at 3:00 AM, at 5° Libra 07′                    (LUNAR)

April 8, 2024, at 2:21 PM, at 19° Aries 24′                       (SOLAR/TOTAL)

Sept. 17, 2024, at 10:34 PM, at 25° Pisces 41′                (LUNAR)

October 2, 2024, at 2:49 PM, at 10° Libra 04′                (SOLAR)

Eclipses can co-relate to inflection points where something is irrevocably changed. This could lead to greater awareness or an experience of adjustment that ultimately results in growth. Something may suddenly enter into one’s reality or something may suddenly disappear from one’s reality. To work with this powerful energetic shift, analyze where in your chart any of the above eclipses fall and then create a list of possible keywords that represent the area of life that is involved in the eclipse event. As Neptune finishes the Pisces transit we must all learn the true meaning of SURRENDER. This is not surrendering in a victimized and vanquished fashion but rather a surrender to a greater force, surrender to a cosmic order, surrender to the divine, trusting that the power of good will ultimately prevail over the forces of evil.

This concludes the 2024 overview. As you live the year & the energy of life surrounds you, move with it. Take the time to pause & consider whether you are ready to act or ready to pause; move forward or retreat; respond or stay silent. There will always be stumbles but the way to grow is to take the time and reflect on the situations as they unfold. You are the variable in the equation of life and learning.

 

 

 

Say a prayer for the suffering children. they are under our care, these innocents, and we are responsible for the world they are inheriting. Pray that we leave them an inheritance of peace and security, not of war and chaos.
