Into the Mystic

Uranus turns retrograde on July 5th, 2010 @ 0°35′ Aries.

Retrograde Uranus will remain at Aries Point until August 14th then backtrack into Pisces where direct station occurs on December 5th @ 26°40′ Pisces. On March 11th, 2011 Uranus reenters Aries and remains in the Sign of the Ram until 2019.

We are now at the end of our Uranus in Pisces experience and Uranus will not be revisiting Pisces for another 84 years.

Uranus first covered the degree’s of this retrograde phase in direct motion between March 19th and July 5th, 2010. This period was one of heightened activity due to Uranus being in the completion stages of a seven-year residency within Pisces and also due to the ongoing opposition with Saturn(which only occurs every 28+ years). Not to be overlooked has also been Uranus’s role in the continuing T-Squares and Grand Crosses of 2010.

These powerful configurations, in which Uranus has been a participant, have been changing our existence by catalyzing us to release outgrown forms and ways of Being while placing us within new forms and archetypes that are a better suited and more productive platform to preform effectively within the current climate of Humanities evolution.

Due to Uranus (and Jupiter!) straddling Pisces and Aries, this upcoming period will be a time of continuing major completions, even while new forms and ways continue to come forth.

The activity of the many past months has been one of seeming instability for we truly have been rocking between the extremes of old and new (saturn-uranus), responsibility and freedom(saturn-uranus) and endings and beginnings(pisces-aries) in both literal and archetypal forms.

While much has been wrapped up in our individual lives in relation to Uranus/Pisces and their relevance within our personal charts we will have one last sweep of Pisces and possibly more completions to attend to from late August of this year until March of 2011 as Uranus finishes his Piscean journey.

Retrogrades are a time of review, a period during which the energies related to the retrograde planet are inner directed and afford us a different perspective on that which has unfolded previously during the direct motion of said retrograde planet.

Uranus is the wild-card planet and is represented by keywords such as sudden, unexpected, lightening-bolt and awakening while Aries, a fire sign, is the space of new beginnings and individuality. When Uranus and Aries unite the wild-card planet can very much behave as the wild-child!

With a capacity to demonstrate as willful, rebellious, ostentatious and impetuous the combination of Uranus-Aries is not necessarily comfortable for those that prefer stability through repetition and ‘proper’ demeanor and yet it is exactly these ‘wild and free’ energies that breath new life and excitement into our existence and prevent stagnation.

This is evolution, for without the energies of Aries following after Pisces, we truly would meet The End. Yet in the wondrous Multi-Verse in which we exist there is NO END; merely cycles of endings and beginnings that spiral into ever-expanding levels of Being.

While Uranus remains in Aries the qualities described in the preceding paragraph are being directed within. These next weeks may be trying for some if they do not allow these inner-directed Uranian energies a proper channel for expression. Trying to stifle these energies is fool-hardy as is allowing them to rampantly dominate one’s actions.

Saturn in opposition to Uranus shall continue to lend assistance in stabilizing our inner Uranian energy provided we honor the role of Saturn and do not polarize with Uranus and go full-out wild-child. 🙂

These next weeks offer us the opportunity for any inner revamping necessary to align one’s self to the external manifestations that will be a part of our lives long-term when Uranus reenters Aries next spring (though as early as January of 2011 when Jupiter reenters Aries will find us taking our first steps back into this territory in very real ways).

Since the last week of May we have had a sneak peak of our forthcoming new endeavors and initiatives related to Aries and Uranus. Reflection and assessment now on what has been recently appearing anew in your life will better enable you to either get comfortable with your “new” future that is no longer all that distant and/or to tweak anything that you feel is in need of adjustment.

Uranus while in retrograde can also catalyze spontaneous awakenings. These weeks may see an increase in awakenings in self and others and it is good to remember that those experiencing a consciousness leap can often demonstrate seemingly odd behaviors and express unusual perceptions. This is quite normal in the ‘land of awakenings’ and is best met with tolerance, patience and non-interference as much as is possible for this allows the other to integrate with much more ease than if they are met with disapproval in any form.

************

When Uranus resumes residency within Pisces from mid-August until mid-March we will have a period of more endings and completions to contend with.

The sneak peak we have been having during this time that Uranus is at Aries Point has been showing us what we can expect to be living by March of 2011 and will likely necessitate more completions of anything that cannot continue to be a part of our experience as we step fully into our new situations/conditions next Spring.

The next weeks that Uranus remains stationed at Aries Point will make it quite clear as to what will not jive with where we are headed to the beginning of next year. There will be much clarity provided on what will and won’t fit harmonically into our new lifestyles when Saturn reenters Libra the last week of July and the 5th and final meeting of the Uranus-Saturn opposition occurs for this cycle.

Enjoy the power of Uranus to rock you out of that which has become stagnant yet be cautious to not be so rebellious as to discard anything that is still of merit!
