My Turn.

Zoe, are you here ?
To the job, sir.

I would be lying if I painted over the recent aspects with sunshine and rainbows.  Growth is upon all of us – Uranus and Pluto are nearing exact square and we are all feeling it.  If you have them prominent in your natal, you get a one way ticket to mainline metamorph  that area of your chart.  I have personally checked out of GMA the last few days – wasn’t planning on it, either.  Just realized I can’t give what I don’t have.

I once read a great piece by a well – respected astrologer who was speaking of the tough nuts that ‘survived the tumultuous late sixties’… I immediately thought, yes – the late sixties were intense – you were just passing through …I was born with that aspect.  (Please, I mean no disrespect for those that slogged through horrific wars and civil unrest.)  I am a late sixties Virgo with Sun conjunct Uranus (9) Pluto (8th).

We have entered a cycle of 7 exact squares of Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn.

Simplified: Capricorn is ancient and slow as molasses :::  Aries is the impulsive pioneer.
Simplified: Pluto is inner willpower and metamorphosis ::: Uranus is eccentric anarchy.

Old cuss Capricorn is getting tasered.  Stagnant, stalled, structural organizations are in for a MAJOR overhaul.  Squares are intense friction – it is uncomfortable and we are on it like hair on ape actively chipping at the problem, scratching at the itch.

Squares are more powerful than trines when solved, work the highest vibration of the planetary and house energies for success.  Adaptation, improvisation.  Repeat.

Aries and Capricorn are Cardinal energies – they are hot to trot to MoOoove it out.  We are going to have our work cut out for us globally and personally during these squares.  Pluto will reveal secrets as it moves through Capricorn – when coupled with Uranus,  secrets will be shocking, revelatory and we will be forced to transcend our moribund limitations.

Channel your inner Jedi master – be the calm within the storm.
Use the force for knowledge and defense. Only.

I have been asked to describe how I experience Sun conjunct Uranus Pluto in Virgo 9, so here goes…  Sun is spirit, ego, shining illumination.  My Sun is in the natural Sagittarius house, so that (and other aspects) give me a rich Sag vibe.  Expansive visionary philosophies, love of learning, travel, other cultures, teaching and exploring are all Sag traits.  Sun rules my 8th, the natural house of Scorpio, and Pluto is in the 8th – which it rules.  So basically my Sun is getting major transformation 24/7 – it often falls kerplunk into the deep, dark, dank Scorpio well and can’t get free.  I suffer greatly in 8th house matters. (benefics square Neptune in Scorp) My light goes out.

I have contemplated and researched past lives, the death of this life, I have more than once considered taking my life, I have been so sick I thought I was dying, I have up and left my former life, and despite all this turmoil – I am unable to completely lose hope because the benefics Venus, Jupiter and Fortuna are all conjunct in my 8th.  Good thing, or I would have checked out long ago.

Add Uranus and it equals ego hits, one right after another, my whole life.  It means add the prefix ‘self’ to everything 9th house; hugely independent in thought and philosophy, powerful drive to see and communicate the big picture.  Sun conjunct Uranus is a fixed masculine aspect, it delivers strong willpower, intuition and individualistic freedom -loving radical behavior. I can be a buttery sweetheart (Ven/Jup), turn on a dime, detach and walk off.  Quit habits cold turkey.  I love holograms, lenticular images, 3D and all sorts of eyecandy.  Don’t lie to me, I am an intuitive expert in body language.

Uranus is magnetic, so I attract ego-maniac, power – tripping oddballs, and Plutonic lesson – bringers with regularity. I tend to be impulsive, (Mars quintiles Uranus adds to this) and I elicit the ginormous game change not only my life, but also the lives of those I care about.  I don’t set out to do this, it just happens naturally.

Loner.  I cut to the chase, I am intense, curious and love research.  I tend to intimidate people, I delve deep into mysterious fringe subjects (love Ripley’s Believe It or Not, UFO’s, occult, magnetics, energies and science for starters), and I have a knack of being in the right place at the right time.  I seek to understand everything – I am often heard saying ‘I’ll believe it when I see it.’ (Neptune most highly aspected, Sagittarius 12)

I am progressive, creatively innovative and I obsessively study a subject until I know I have reached saturation, then I drop it, move on to obsessively learn something else.  Uranus quintile Mars in the 12th house sign (Sagittarius), in addition to Mars trine  Saturn means I have weird experiences with long-distances and time.  Uranus delivers all of these things in a flash – I am left broadsided, gobsmacked and reeling.  I feel weird energies, hear the earth humming and I am sometimes clairaudient.  Pendulum dowsing is a snap.  I see both sides, attract as often as I repel, and I have for years, had an inexplicable fear of dying by electrocution.
There you have it, folks – my Sun conjunct Uranus Pluto breakdown.

Peace out
