This upcoming cardinal grand square on the 27th of June has just about every astrologer scratching their heads. There seems to be some general alarm about all of it, and a lot of dire predictions coming out of that alarm.
However, I want to address the personal side to all of this business The events in the world will take place the way they’re meant to. And somehow we have to have our own lives have meaning, too.
I want to focus primarily on Uranus in Aries (Jupiter as well) - which is not to negate the significance of the rest of that bunch in that square. However, Jupiter and Uranus are the ones changing signs, whilst Pluto has been in Capricorn for a wee bit longer. Jupiter and Uranus have a reputation of being fairly good together, but we have this in Aries, which makes things more volatile.
Moving Uranus in Pisces to Uranus is Aries, is sort of like going from being subtlely aware that change is needed - without any real rush to make things happen (or can’t see where changes must be made) - to making changes happen RIGHT NOW - whether or not it's the right change to make. Pisces is collective; Aries is personal. Uranus in Pisces was a good time to develop a vision - a vision of the future, and Uranus in Aries is the time to put the vision into action. I don’t believe we are totally clear on those visions yet - Uranus has to go back to Pisces in a bit to make sure we’re looking at the right visions.
However, once Uranus is in Aries proper, things will feel very alive but could look very raw - remember that Aries is very infantile in some ways, since what is to be experienced is not familiar, yet. No forethought or analysing - just a massive impulse to MOVE forward, even if the direction is the wrong one.
Aries wants to know whats in it for ME. So, will we end up being bratty little children? Perhaps, if thats an issue that has to be resolved. However, the importance here is acting upon one’s impulses and being proactive in solving one’s own problems.
With Uranus in Pisces, we ALL probably found ways AROUND situations, rather than confronting them, head-on. However, Aries won’t do that - we have to stand up, face our fears, and do it anyway. Its funny how if an energy is repressed, its going to spew out in different ways, obliquely. Even though its uncomfortable, the lessons in this might be best with experimenting with the direct line to problem solving - might not be pretty, but boy will it be clear!! Think of those factions of people that this might affect - either constructively or destructively. It might be more anger showing up on the streets.
Or it will be that abused woman who finally takes a stand and changes her life, permanently. It will be incredible and frightening, at the same time. But completely necessary.
We won’t be able to meditate about it, or breathe in colored air - we have to learn to somehow integrate the Aries-ness within, and learn to be OK with it. There isn’t really a way to placate this. Anger is a big issue and most are afraid of their own intense feelings. I have noticed in the last few weeks that I have been giving rise to that, and realizing (I have Mars in Scorpio, natally) that I won’t die, or be killed if I get ticked off!
And also, anger at others doesn’t mean you don’t like them - it means you’re feeling passionate enough about something that really means something to you, for you to say something about it. Anger leaking out right now in a lot of people, is not only frustration, but perhaps years of not going after what they want in life. Passion felt + passion acted upon + passions communicated = needs are met. On our own.
So, the bottom line of this time is this: if you’re stuck, get yourself moving. If you’re angry, say something. If you feel alone, find someone. If you aren’t clear, get clear. And, if you don’t know what you want, find out. Its up to you.
I matter, I exist, I AM. (This message was brought to you by Eileen Grimes, the proud owner of a Mercury in Aries).
