Uranus sextile Mars....

Astrology Karma and Relationships

Part One

Ignition: Uranus sextile Mars trine Jupiter - Sudden expression of individuality - Sudden clear insights or to electrical fires.....

Enamored: Moon in Leo trine Venus in Sagittarius - Sharing love generously

Healing the parental wound: Saturn trine Chiron (Part Two)

This morning as am writing the last astro blog for 2012, I realised that 2012 will really go out in a 'Bang' at least on the surface. In the background a tireless, focused and compulsive striving is at work with the continued sextile between Pluto in Capricorn and Saturn in Scorpio. (more on that in 2013!)

Though the more I look at the current chart the more complex the 'over and under' currents appear. 

On the surface what we have been experiencing for the past couple of days with the waning of the full moon and Mars' entry into Aquarius are heightened mental activity, feelings of restlessness, irritability and intensifying emotions. Particularly with the Moon in Leo opposing Mars in Aquarius as well as forming a trine to electric Uranus in Aries and a sextile to expansive Jupiter in Gemini create a highly energetic cocktail. 

For NYE the cherry on the cake will be a close trine between Moon in Leo and Venus in Sagittarius. From my experience when Moon is in Leo the mood is high, demonstrative and people are generally far more outgoing and inclined to celebrate in style (Leo) - ad Venus to the mix and one really wants to plunge into glad rags and have the credit cards ready to wine, dine and splash out. Of course the festive season always entices to splash out, yet this NYE compared to last has a distinct air of buoyancy, more gaiety, lightness and generosity of feeling. This is due to  personal planets such as the Moon, Venus, Mars and Jupiter being in Fire and Air signs. (Last year they were mostly in Water & Earth signs. which made the mood 'heavier' and more sober)

As a result of this flam-buoyancy some of you might even pop the question or declare their love when they have not even intended to do so initially. The highly charged ambiance (Mars in Aquarius sextile Uranus in Aries) might simply trigger sudden bursts of boldness. 

Less desirable aspects of the current transits are rash realisations of subjectively seeming cunning plans, in other words: Sudden very stupid ideas that can possibly turn into disaster.

With Mars in Aquarius trining Jupiter in Gemini and  sextiling Uranus in Aries one has to be particularly careful with regards to sudden electrical fires that come out of no-where or are due to hasty or negligent work (Uranus in Aries and Mars in Aquarius and/or Jupiter in Gemini). Also, be particularly careful with fireworks this year! (Of course one always has to be careful!) Just be double sure that you rig your home display in a focused manner. Also, before you go out for dinner or a party make sure that you have switched everything off (cheap fairy lights!) or blow everything out from candles to incense.... Whilst writing this, I heard of already 2 fires, one that sparked off in the Pyrenees in the snow in the middle of no-where for no apparent reason! The second one was ignited in Toulon (South of France) in a mental institution by in-patients, as a result 2 patients lost their lives!   

The above transit ought be particularly respected by people who have the Moon, Mars, the Sun, Jupiter and Uranus between 1 to 8 degrees Gemini, Libra, Aquarius, Aries, Leo, Sagittarius - people born with the Moon, Mars, the Sun, Jupiter and Uranus 4 to 10 degrees in Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces will experience this aspect as rather more stressful and irritating than the Air and Fire Signs. 

Again, individuals born with the Moon, Mars, the Sun, Jupiter and Uranus 4 to 10 degrees Scorpio, Capricorn & Pisces have a lot of other heavier transits going that could aggravate the buoyancy of the above transits.

On a deeper level the aspect between Mars in Aquarius and Uranus in Aries gives us all a chance to vibrate on a higher level particularly on the mental plane. If you can focus on sudden ideas, flashes or even inventions, try and seize them, write them down even if they seem outlandish. The inversion of the rulers (Mars ruling Aries and Uranus ruling Aquarius) ought to give you glimpses into the future or future inventions. This aspect is like an electric current tapping into things to come. Make use of the mental images you get!

Moon in Leo trine Venus in Sagittarius is a great aid in opening our hearts in an unconditional way. The Moon carries deeply remembered emotion that is unconditionally without further ado expressed honestly by Venus in Sagittarius. This aspect can trigger the truest form of 'burning young love' - almost like Romeo and Juliet.....So if you want declare an honest feeling, this aspect is a great booster....

Healing the parental / authority wound: Saturn trine Chiron (Part Two)

I will write more extensively about this important aspect between Saturn and Chiron in the new year! This aspect is particularly important and easier for the Water and Earth signs. The above aspect has enormous healing potential for those who have 'soul-wounds' with regards to parents in this life or a past life as well as wounds that stem from abuse by authority figures in this or a past life.

Until then, I wish you a very happy NEW YEAR!

Uranus going direct in Mid-December 2012 - a vibrational change! with overtones of June 2010!

Almost at the same time as Mercury comes out of the shadow zone after its retrograde journey on December 15th - Uranus is finally turning direct again on December 13th 2012.
​
I am sure you all will remember 2010, when Uranus left introvert Pisces for the first time in the end of May 2010. Since Uranus' vibration is so poignant, we all felt it's imminent departure from Pisces already in the end of April 2010 or even earlier as most of us were probably very discontent within a certain framework and felt that the moment of liberation from old Neptunian / Piscien structures were at hand. As soon as Uranus moved that 1st degree into Aries things were taking an almost terrifying pace.

At the time I felt as if I were all over sudden on a very scary yet liberating fairground ride. I very much remember my own life completely changing at the end of May 2010 almost at the exact entry date of Uranus into Aries, which was on the 27th of May 2010. Uranus swept away in one big electrifying flick of his wrist redundant structures. Something I hoped and longed for for years literally happened within days. Since Uranus and Jupiter made both a conjunction to a most sensitive point in my chart, namely the 4th house cusp, my home-life took on a completely new form of freedom and individual choice. I remember feeling completely energised as well as suddenly vibrating on a much higher octave. Additionally, people that were really very unusual, marginal and off-norm graced my home; another typical manifestation of a strong Uranus transit....

From December 13th on wards we all should fasten our seat-belts as this will be a very interesting ride indeed!

Now Uranus will move forward again since it went into the inner or quiet zone of its retrograde journey it started on July 13th this year. During the past 4 months we rather felt things bubble, ruminate, push to the surface like a volcano ready to erupt - ideas were flying about in our heads without finding a way out as yet... Some of you might have felt very discontent in a particular life situation, be it in your job, relationship or home. Or some of you were preparing to launch a new business, product or other 'NEW' thing. So for the best part of this year some of you were gradually building from within (Uranus retrograde) a
tremendous momentum that will finally find its 'outer' expression with incredible swiftness when Uranus will go direct.


Here is a little taster of what is to come:

First of, Uranus in his forward motion will electrify everything it touches as well as destroy all that is redundant. Above all Uranus vibrates on a very high frequency, hence we all experience this as a quickening - a gathering of speed. Also, Uranus won't now retrograde back into spiritual and passive Pisces, but rather start its slow yet 'devastating' (this I mean in a positive and negative way) journey through Aries, the fiery pioneer with a will of his own.
On a global level we are starting a new era, and karmically humanity as a whole has to learn from it's past errors that originated from when Uranus was in the same position in 1845 and 1929. Then Uranus was spear-heading the inventions of the industrial revolution that in the end started the depletion process of our natural resources as well as pollution. It reeked havoc in 1929 within the financial world, and after a complete collapse of the world's monetary system a new order was established that prevails to this day. At the same time the automotive as well as aircraft industry took a giant leap forward. Since its discovery in 1781 every time Uranus entered Aries new inventions as well as unforeseen consequences were the order of the day. What will Uranus' journey through Aries bring in the dawn of this century? We shall discover. In the meanwhile let's see what is happening on a more personal level.

​
Transits from end of December 2012 - Early 2013:

At present Uranus is in early Aries (4 degrees) and as Venus will move on December 17th into firy Sagittarius sparks will fly in a big way as massive Jupiter is still retrograde in early Gemini (9 degrees) and possible hurt and ultimately growth can about with Chiron in Pisces (5 degrees) !

The flowing aspect of trine between Venus and Uranus coupled with the stressful Venus opposition to Jupiter as well as Venus in a very tense square aspect to Chiron, the wounded healer lasting about 10 days can have a tremendous influence on how we approach love and relationships.

During this brief planetary interchange a lot of very sudden and intense relationships might form often with very marginal people who we would never really go for. But be aware that these very brief contacts will not always last as they reflect sudden breaking-off-from-the-norm urges (Uranus) that often prepare for bigger and longer lasting life-changes.

Another less desirable side-effect of this transit are possible extra-relationship flings (not long term affairs) that really shake things up. 'Uranian behaviour' can cause through one action tremendous amount of chaos and upheavel that will leave a lot of collatoral damage in its wake. So, if you have this sudden urge ask yourself if you are truly happy within your current relationship, and how you could solve this in the best possible way before you run headlong into something that you might later regret. Sadly to say, a lot of hurt might come about with the Venus square Chiron transit. This aspect is really in keeping with the whole Uranus-Madness as we will feel that sudden events are coming out of no-where and will bring about a lot of hurt - the hurt and pain will appear to come from the 'left-field'. Also, because Chiron is in Piscies a long with the aspect occurring with Venus will feel like 'sacrificial'. As if we would need to sacrifice something in the name of love (Venus), so all involved can grow emotionally.

This transit happens to coincide with the usual pre-christmas 'festive-be-merry-madness' and as a result could push people to act recklessly on a sexual level. Without wanting to unduly scare people, I just would like to point out that from experience a transit like this can also over-stimulate people who already have problems within the sexual domain. Just be more than usual alert who fixes or pays you a drink. Additionally, make sure you go home with friends or pre-book a cab. As long as you act responsibly without hurting others and yourself, you can fully appreciate the very up-beat atmosphere that will reign.

Just be aware of these tendencies:
Venus-Uranus = reckless behaviour/infidelity/unprotected sex/unforeseen events with regards to love and relationships
Venus-Jupiter = excessive behaviour/too much shopping/drink/food/sex/general over-indulgence
Venus-Chiron = pain/hurt and ultimately growth resulting from the emotional injury

So how will this particular transit affect us:

The above applies particularly for all those having personal planets, such as the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter or Venus itself within any early degree (1 - 8 degrees) of any of the 3 fire signs Aries, Leo & Sagittarius. The same goes for all those who have any planet particularly Venus again in an early degree (1 - 8 degrees) of any of these signs: Libra, Aquarius & Gemini. For all those with Saturn within an early degree it is a little bit of a different story, which I will elaborate on in a separate article as this placement has to be treated at a greater length.

For those who have Pluto and or Uranus within an early degree of any of the mentioned signs this will be a much different story. People born between late 1970 to 1973 will have Uranus and Pluto in early Libra and this particular alignment will be much heavier, and be a sort of repeat of early summer 2012.

The stressful square between Venus and Chiron for people born particularly from 1970 to 1973 will ad to the onset of the Uranus / Pluto opposing to transiting Uranus in 4 degrees Aries. It is needless to say that most of you born during this time will have felt the Chiron square alone without Venus on the horizon. For at least  1 year already very painful and deep-reaching changes have been taking place, and it might feel right now that one crisis is following the next. There is light at the end of the tunnel (I know, as I went through this myself!) though with Venus in this stressful aspect a lot of relationship / love pain might suddenly come to the surface, often these can be old wounds from this or another life that are re-opened.
There might be break-ups or losses triggered by this very potent aspect. I know that for those who are right in the middle of a crisis-stacking-event it might not sound very helpful, but believe me that few months down the line you will look back and see how much this has altered your life in a positive way, and you might say to yourself: "....Gosh! how could I have ever endured this horrible relationship, job or living arrangement for so long..." The message in the bottle is that even if things are horrible at present, this will be a very intense learning curve that will liberate of a lot of heavy chains  and you will come out on the other end much lighter, stronger and wiser.

My suggestion for this particular transit is not to loose your head and heart, this is easier said than done, but try if you can to use your head a lot more than usual, attempt to almost sever your heart and pain from your 'brain'. A simple exercise that helped a lot when I went through a tremendous crisis of the heart last year was to constantly imagine blue colours - this was to simply activate the crown or 'head' chakras and lead energy away from the already over-laden heart charkra. Steer away from all green and red colours for a while (green is the colour of the heart chakra and red is the colour of your base chakra which has to do with 'raw' sex, anger, rage and pure life-force). The latter are often completely over-stimulated in a time of crisis and suffering. During the crisis it is good to sometimes let the head speak to gain perspective and some distance....later when you start healing you can venture back into energising your heart and base chakras...
So, wear a lot of blue, imagine a lot of blue, stop touching your heart constantly with your hand in a moment of pain as it only energises the heart chakra - instead touch your head in a sweeping-away-motion - this will make you feel more top heavy and lighter on the heart....

The powerful karmic learning curve - the 'Yod' or 'Finger of God' between Pluto in Capricorn (8 degrees), Saturn in Scorpio (8 degrees) and Jupiter in Gemini (9 degrees). The 'Yod' is made of an exact sextile between Saturn and Pluto as well as an in-conjunct (150 degrees) aspect to both planets by Jupiter. The 'Yod' or 'Finger of God' I consider within karmic astrology as a major accelerated learning aspect and souls born during this transit will have a very powerful task on this planet. The karmic  charge originates from abuse/mis-use of power within a solid/rigid structure (Pluto in Capricorn) as well as possible sexual or other forms of abuse by father-figures (Saturn on Scorpio) in the name of ideology or philosophy and religion.

Spontaneously, I have to think of children that have been abused in catholic convents (Capricorn) behind closed doors (Scorpio). The Monks or 'Fathers' or 'Mother Superiors' were able to freely wield their power (Pluto) having the adopted status of parent and educator (Saturn). All this was done under the all encompassing banner of religion (Jupiter) and freely preached superficially (Gemini) to the unsuspecting populace...
So what do we all have to learn from this powerful Yod? Robert Wilkinson in his Aquarius Papers (http://www.aquariuspapers.com) gives in my eyes a very spot-on evaluation of this transit: "The major influence in this Lunation is the extremely powerful Yod, or “Finger of God,” created by Saturn sextile Pluto with both quincunx Jupiter. This shows major “expansion through sacrifice” energies, squeezing us all wherever this configuration falls in our charts. Expect some fairly dramatic adjustments that will help you master certain life trajectories. We can redirect momentum in multiple life areas, and can “pull out of nosedives” and “right ourselves gracefully.”

During this brief planetary interchange a lot of very sudden and intense relationships might form often with very marginal people who we would never really go for. But be aware that these very brief contacts will not always last as they reflect sudden breaking-off-from-the-norm urges (Uranus) that often prepare for bigger and longer lasting life-changes.

Another less desirable side-effect of this transit are possible extra-relationship flings (not long term affairs) that really shake things up. 'Uranian behaviour' can cause through one action tremendous amount of chaos and upheavel that will leave a lot of collatoral damage in its wake. So, if you have this sudden urge ask yourself if you are truly happy within your current relationship, and how you could solve this in the best possible way before you run headlong into something that you might later regret. Sadly to say, a lot of hurt might come about with the Venus square Chiron transit. This aspect is really in keeping with the whole Uranus-Madness as we will feel that sudden events are coming out of no-where and will bring about a lot of hurt - the hurt and pain will appear to come from the 'left-field'. Also, because Chiron is in Piscies a long with the aspect occurring with Venus will feel like 'sacrificial'. As if we would need to sacrifice something in the name of love (Venus), so all involved can grow emotionally.

This transit happens to coincide with the usual pre-christmas 'festive-be-merry-madness' and as a result could push people to act recklessly on a sexual level. Without wanting to unduly scare people, I just would like to point out that from experience a transit like this can also over-stimulate people who already have problems within the sexual domain. Just be more than usual alert who fixes or pays you a drink. Additionally, make sure you go home with friends or pre-book a cab. As long as you act responsibly without hurting others and yourself, you can fully appreciate the very up-beat atmosphere that will reign.

Just be aware of these tendencies:
Venus-Uranus = reckless behaviour/infidelity/unprotected sex/unforeseen events with regards to love and relationships
Venus-Jupiter = excessive behaviour/too much shopping/drink/food/sex/general over-indulgence
Venus-Chiron = pain/hurt and ultimately growth resulting from the emotional injury

So how will this particular transit affect us:

The above applies particularly for all those having personal planets, such as the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter or Venus itself within any early degree (1 - 8 degrees) of any of the 3 fire signs Aries, Leo & Sagittarius. The same goes for all those who have any planet particularly Venus again in an early degree (1 - 8 degrees) of any of these signs: Libra, Aquarius & Gemini. For all those with Saturn within an early degree it is a little bit of a different story, which I will elaborate on in a separate article as this placement has to be treated at a greater length.

For those who have Pluto and or Uranus within an early degree of any of the mentioned signs this will be a much different story. People born between late 1970 to 1973 will have Uranus and Pluto in early Libra and this particular alignment will be much heavier, and be a sort of repeat of early summer 2012.

The stressful square between Venus and Chiron for people born particularly from 1970 to 1973 will ad to the onset of the Uranus / Pluto opposing to transiting Uranus in 4 degrees Aries. It is needless to say that most of you born during this time will have felt the Chiron square alone without Venus on the horizon. For at least  1 year already very painful and deep-reaching changes have been taking place, and it might feel right now that one crisis is following the next. There is light at the end of the tunnel (I know, as I went through this myself!) though with Venus in this stressful aspect a lot of relationship / love pain might suddenly come to the surface, often these can be old wounds from this or another life that are re-opened.
There might be break-ups or losses triggered by this very potent aspect. I know that for those who are right in the middle of a crisis-stacking-event it might not sound very helpful, but believe me that few months down the line you will look back and see how much this has altered your life in a positive way, and you might say to yourself: "....Gosh! how could I have ever endured this horrible relationship, job or living arrangement for so long..." The message in the bottle is that even if things are horrible at present, this will be a very intense learning curve that will liberate of a lot of heavy chains  and you will come out on the other end much lighter, stronger and wiser.

My suggestion for this particular transit is not to loose your head and heart, this is easier said than done, but try if you can to use your head a lot more than usual, attempt to almost sever your heart and pain from your 'brain'. A simple exercise that helped a lot when I went through a tremendous crisis of the heart last year was to constantly imagine blue colours - this was to simply activate the crown or 'head' chakras and lead energy away from the already over-laden heart charkra. Steer away from all green and red colours for a while (green is the colour of the heart chakra and red is the colour of your base chakra which has to do with 'raw' sex, anger, rage and pure life-force). The latter are often completely over-stimulated in a time of crisis and suffering. During the crisis it is good to sometimes let the head speak to gain perspective and some distance....later when you start healing you can venture back into energising your heart and base chakras...
So, wear a lot of blue, imagine a lot of blue, stop touching your heart constantly with your hand in a moment of pain as it only energises the heart chakra - instead touch your head in a sweeping-away-motion - this will make you feel more top heavy and lighter on the heart....

The powerful karmic learning curve - the 'Yod' or 'Finger of God' between Pluto in Capricorn (8 degrees), Saturn in Scorpio (8 degrees) and Jupiter in Gemini (9 degrees). The 'Yod' is made of an exact sextile between Saturn and Pluto as well as an in-conjunct (150 degrees) aspect to both planets by Jupiter. The 'Yod' or 'Finger of God' I consider within karmic astrology as a major accelerated learning aspect and souls born during this transit will have a very powerful task on this planet. The karmic  charge originates from abuse/mis-use of power within a solid/rigid structure (Pluto in Capricorn) as well as possible sexual or other forms of abuse by father-figures (Saturn on Scorpio) in the name of ideology or philosophy and religion.

Spontaneously, I have to think of children that have been abused in catholic convents (Capricorn) behind closed doors (Scorpio). The Monks or 'Fathers' or 'Mother Superiors' were able to freely wield their power (Pluto) having the adopted status of parent and educator (Saturn). All this was done under the all encompassing banner of religion (Jupiter) and freely preached superficially (Gemini) to the unsuspecting populace...
So what do we all have to learn from this powerful Yod? Robert Wilkinson in his Aquarius Papers (http://www.aquariuspapers.com) gives in my eyes a very spot-on evaluation of this transit: "The major influence in this Lunation is the extremely powerful Yod, or “Finger of God,” created by Saturn sextile Pluto with both quincunx Jupiter. This shows major “expansion through sacrifice” energies, squeezing us all wherever this configuration falls in our charts. Expect some fairly dramatic adjustments that will help you master certain life trajectories. We can redirect momentum in multiple life areas, and can “pull out of nosedives” and “right ourselves gracefully.”

Uranus going direct in Mid-December 2012 - a vibrational change! with overtones of June 2010!

Almost at the same time as Mercury comes out of the shadow zone after its retrograde journey on December 15th - Uranus is finally turning direct again on December 13th 2012.
​
I am sure you all will remember 2010, when Uranus left introvert Pisces for the first time in the end of May 2010. Since Uranus' vibration is so poignant, we all felt it's imminent departure from Pisces already in the end of April 2010 or even earlier as most of us were probably very discontent within a certain framework and felt that the moment of liberation from old Neptunian / Piscien structures were at hand. As soon as Uranus moved that 1st degree into Aries things were taking an almost terrifying pace.

At the time I felt as if I were all over sudden on a very scary yet liberating fairground ride. I very much remember my own life completely changing at the end of May 2010 almost at the exact entry date of Uranus into Aries, which was on the 27th of May 2010. Uranus swept away in one big electrifying flick of his wrist redundant structures. Something I hoped and longed for for years literally happened within days. Since Uranus and Jupiter made both a conjunction to a most sensitive point in my chart, namely the 4th house cusp, my home-life took on a completely new form of freedom and individual choice. I remember feeling completely energised as well as suddenly vibrating on a much higher octave. Additionally, people that were really very unusual, marginal and off-norm graced my home; another typical manifestation of a strong Uranus transit....

From December 13th on wards we all should fasten our seat-belts as this will be a very interesting ride indeed!

Now Uranus will move forward again since it went into the inner or quiet zone of its retrograde journey it started on July 13th this year. During the past 4 months we rather felt things bubble, ruminate, push to the surface like a volcano ready to erupt - ideas were flying about in our heads without finding a way out as yet... Some of you might have felt very discontent in a particular life situation, be it in your job, relationship or home. Or some of you were preparing to launch a new business, product or other 'NEW' thing. So for the best part of this year some of you were gradually building from within (Uranus retrograde) a
tremendous momentum that will finally find its 'outer' expression with incredible swiftness when Uranus will go direct.


Here is a little taster of what is to come:

First of, Uranus in his forward motion will electrify everything it touches as well as destroy all that is redundant. Above all Uranus vibrates on a very high frequency, hence we all experience this as a quickening - a gathering of speed. Also, Uranus won't now retrograde back into spiritual and passive Pisces, but rather start its slow yet 'devastating' (this I mean in a positive and negative way) journey through Aries, the fiery pioneer with a will of his own.
On a global level we are starting a new era, and karmically humanity as a whole has to learn from it's past errors that originated from when Uranus was in the same position in 1845 and 1929. Then Uranus was spear-heading the inventions of the industrial revolution that in the end started the depletion process of our natural resources as well as pollution. It reeked havoc in 1929 within the financial world, and after a complete collapse of the world's monetary system a new order was established that prevails to this day. At the same time the automotive as well as aircraft industry took a giant leap forward. Since its discovery in 1781 every time Uranus entered Aries new inventions as well as unforeseen consequences were the order of the day. What will Uranus' journey through Aries bring in the dawn of this century? We shall discover. In the meanwhile let's see what is happening on a more personal level.

​
Transits from end of December 2012 - Early 2013:
