The following reading is from our very own Sojournal astrologer, Lois Stahl. All about the current events...
URANUS INTO ARIES.
In the early morning hours of the 28th of May precisely at 3.50 am the lightning flashed across the sky with uproarious thunder to follow as the planet Uranus made it's ingress into Aries. In mythology Uranus is the Sky god and expresses itself in thunder and lightning and although totally unpredictable, also strikes on the exact moment.
It takes Uranus 84 years to orbit the sun and it stays approximately six to seven years in a sign.
AWAKENING:
The keywords relating to Uranus in Aries is predominantly an awakening through one's actions, which brings about changes that cause disruptions in our carefully laid plans but brings about new, innovative and inventive happenings to assist us in our spiritual growth, pointing the way ahead into the future. So that which is unique about us as individuals can ultimately recognize our goal in the greater picture of the human story. It is only through knowing yourself as an individual, that you can find your role in the universal story.
Aries is about the Self. It is also the sign of the pioneer and new beginnings.
With Uranus in Aries there is the focus on the most basic human right, which is the freedom to do what you want to do. Such a raw and primary impulse can give rise to extremes: from being obstreperous and reactionary to the other end of the scale which is the courage and stamina to stick to your guns as you fight to establish a new beginning in some field of human endeavour.
REBELLION - REVOLUTION AND REFORM go hand in hand with this process of evolution that is now happening world wide. The best tools to acquire for this process of individuation are learning the dynamics and laws of how things operate and this therefore includes, science, metaphysics, astrology, electronics/electricity, computers and all the vast potential in the working mechanisms of tools in your life.
Uranus is only so-journeying through Aries until the 14th of August and during this time of reconnaissance the energies will already be stirred up to create change for the return journey on the 12th of March 2011.
JUPITER IN ARIES:
On the morning of the 6th of June 2010, approximately 8.28 am Jupiter also moved into Aries whilst making a conjunction to the moon as well.
Jupiter is the largest of the planets and in many ways forms a shield between the earth and the outer planets and takes twelve years to orbit the sun.
The keywords for Jupiter are:
EXPANSION , GROWTH, ETHICS AND OPPORTUNITIES --
but on a negative side it also symbolizes:
EXCESS, OVER-INDULGENCE AND EVERYTHING THAT IS OVER THE TOP.
With Jupiter in Aries there is a general feeling of optimism and childlike enthusiasm, which expresses itself in the feeling of: Life looks after those that live it. Possibly with Jupiter in Aries there are possibilities of quite a few knocks and falls but these are of life's endless supply of opportunities on offer. The inclination will be to bite off more than you can chew as Jupiter in Aries gets expressed in growing through doing.
Naturally with Jupiter and Uranus traveling together everything is so much more extreme and over the top. The rebellious urge to be free and to exercise one's freedom of choice will be strong and overpowering in many ways. Sometimes even blinding us to others needs for freedom and expansion as well.
However .......
SATURN is to do with duty and responsibility and opposite Uranus and Jupiter create a restraint and restriction on these strong rebellious urges to overthrow all existing structures. Saturn acts as the catalyst that enables us to build positively with these vibrant energies and create strong foundations in our relationships - if we are open and willing to learn new ways of dealing with our relationships and partnerships. Taking responsibility for our own actions. Not to seek scapegoats out of others but to recognize our own power and ability.
PLUTO also comes into the equation as it forms a T-square with these 2 formidable sky gods. Pluto in Capricorn can be expected to bring about transformation in the power yielded by the authorities. With Uranus the issues are about individual freedom and as far as the authorities clamp down on individual freedom the more the rebels will rise up and confront and push for change.
The people want equality and freedom.
The outdated and old methods will have to give sway to the new up to date ways of operating and in this the laws and systems have to change. NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS IS ALREADY HAPPENING AND NOW IT IS ONLY GETTING MORE FOCUSED ON.
THE SOLSTICE :
The sun moves into CANCER at 13.20 on the 21st of JUNE 2010. This will create a GRAND CROSS in the heavens. With a grand cross there are 4 points involved and as this happens on the cardinal cross: ARIES - CANCER - LIBRA - CAPRICORN -- the focus is on action.
CANCER has to do with nurturing and family values. The most fundamental urge of Cancer is to nurture, protect and nourish - yourself and your next of kin.
ACTIONS will take place that necessitates the change that is needed and required for future growth. Everything in life is geared towards growth and change and where life is stagnant and out of balance there will be changes in our lives. This is not going to happen on one particular day - although it could be more obvious on that day of the solstice - but already these energies are becoming manifested in our lives and in the lives of those around us.
As with everything in life the choice is for each individual to make changes regarding their present life circumstances. We all face challenges in life but it is our attitude towards the challenges that determine the outcome.... We can be part of the problem or we can be part of the solution. We also can choose if we are representatives of the darker forces or if we wish to manifest the light through our lives.
This is a powerful time we are going through in our evolution and spiritual growth and the energies of these planets are available for us to make these shifts in consciousness and in our actions. One of the basic laws of metaphysics is that action follows thought. Needless to say then - we need to focus our thoughts on what we want to manifest in life. Focus on the negative and the outcome will be negative but through focusing on the positive we can create changes than are beneficial to all humanity.
