Transiting Uranus Aspecting Natal Pluto Part I

Transiting Uranus moved into the sign of Aries without going retrograde again in March of 2011.  It will remain in Aries until May of 2018.  Uranus stays in one sign for approximately 7 years and has a total cycle of 84 years until it returns to its natal position.  Uranus has an orb (or influence) of about 5 degrees when approaching.  Its dissipating influence, after it has passed being direct, affects us until it is about 2-3 degree past the separating angle or planet.  Although its influence lasts this long, it often takes a year or two to understand the ramifications of what its full affects were when it was making the last aspect.

Uranus has a strong desire to influence some important change in your life and this could amount to a total life change of direction or a desire to break free of restrictions that have stood in your way for some time.  Pluto deals with uncovering truths and going beneath the surface and then fostering transformation on many levels of influence. 

We will look at the various aspects possible between these two planets.

When deciphering the trine between transiting Uranus and natal Pluto, it is important to take into consideration the nature of the aspect (the trine suggests easy, unobstructed flow of energies), the houses that transiting Uranus is moving through, the house it occupies in the birth chart, the house natal Pluto is located in and the cusp which is ruled by Uranus (Aquarius).  These areas will all come into play when deciphering the potential desire for freedom, the transformations taking hold and the areas of life involved.

Uranus trine Pluto is suggestive of coming to terms with a clearer and more precise understanding of your true inner nature.  Uranus and Pluto are both planetary energies linked to higher learning and the unfolding of a comprehensive understanding in the areas of life that are dictated by the house placements involved.  Pluto along with Uranus will insist that you have an honest look at your life and how you have been living it.  You will then be able to reach viable conclusions and come to terms with what needs adjusting.  This process is often quite painful and many people will try to alleviate these conditions by turning their backs on what needs to take place.  These self-examinations are needed in order to achieve a greater understanding of the conditions in your life and what needs transformation and should not be ignored.

These pressing matters are not easy to ignore and also should not be, as a confrontation is at hand.  Without that confrontation, there can be no conscious evolution which is what this process is all about.  It may deal with levels of understanding where religious doctrines or belief structures will undergo changes in order to facilitate a new direction in life on some level of expression.  The trine moves things along and offers a relative easy confrontational period where a resolution can be reached without too much difficulty.

Honesty with our selves is of utmost importance for we cannot escape the truth and the inevitable usually occurs on some level or another.  

The square on the other hand works under much more challenging conditions than a trine.  The square usually suggests an ending of sorts before a new beginning can occur.  Pluto is all about the rising up of something that has come from a place of deep internal reflection and is now ready to come to the surface with new light and a knowledge that may not have been present before this aspect took hold.  Inaction is not advised as, consciously or not, this is a time for reflection, investigation and then movement in directions that are not always apparent, especially in the beginning of the process.

We will continue with this information between Uranus and Pluto in our next astrology post on June 18, 2015.

Venturing into the Unknown

Venturing into the unknown is often a difficult move for most of us.  Our minds tend to go down roads that bring forth bothersome outlooks for situation that could be exciting and progressive.  In general, when we are experiencing stages in our lives that have no foreseeable guaranteed outcome, we are unsettled which in turn can push us to self-reflect and possibly create alternative routes for life ahead.

Even these changes we make can create more mental anguish.  We are creatures of habit and for most change can be frightening.  We must remind ourselves, however, that change although stressful can maximize the positive potentials available to us.  We make choices along the way and must challenge our mind’s interference.  Without change, we can be avoiding the most potentially fruitful outcomes possible in our lives.

Initially change can be difficult especially when we allow our minds to wander and we lose focus of our objectives.  Recognize this for what it is as it is generated from our ego.  Ego can lead us astray and completely stifle our progress if we allow it to.

Focusing on the deeper level “why” of every event and ask for guidance for this will often lead to uncovering challenges that we need to confront within ourselves.  What is it that life is trying to teach us and what can we do to reach the outcome that is necessary.  Often the answer is right in front of us, but we are unwilling to see it in its clearest form. 

We try to disassociate ourselves from change.  Perhaps the changes that are necessary are difficult to accept.  Perhaps we simply need to change our focus and view our lives in a different manner.  Attitude is often the first change required.  While this is often the initial stage of the experience, we may have to challenge parts of ourselves and come to terms with issues that are buried within that need to surface or be faced.  These may stem from childhood experiences or some traumatic life experience that is still somehow holding us in its grip.

Realizing and accepting ego’s interference often removes obstacles and once we note ego’s intentions, we can alter our focus and attitude.  We then can move in a different direction without fear.  We always choose which road to follow, whether it is conscious or subconscious.  Sometimes letting go of fear of potential outcomes is the best route to take.  “Letting go and letting God” is often the best route.  We do have to own our attitude and our outlook however.

Move through these changes with the anticipation of truth and growth.  Stay open to suggestion coming through from other channels.  There is always assistance available with our choices.  We are never at the mercy of life.  Attitude and belief structure dictate much of what will take place.  Stay open!  Remain positive and know that you are never alone in your quest for truth and clarity.

Early Influences

The circumstances of our lives when we were young usually have a major influence on whom we are as we age.  Our parents and the love we received have a huge impact on the way we present ourselves late in life.  If we felt neglected in our early years, it would not be uncommon for us to feel as though we are not worthy of love now or perhaps that love is missing in our lives now.  We could actually now have difficulty expressing love to self and others.

If we were appreciated and given praise for our achievements in our early years, we are far more likely to be self-assured, self-confident and able to move forward in life with enthusiasm.  We believe in ourselves. Because of this, in many cases, those that received support on many levels are the ones that seem to make much more progress in life.

There are exceptions to this however.  There are still individuals that struggle even though they were provided with much support in their formative years and there are those that forge ahead and excel in life although they were provided with very little reinforcement in their early years.  This suggests that our concepts or beliefs also play a part in how we move forward in our lives regardless of the influences in our early lives.  At the very least, we are able to move beyond these influences through effort and work.

There are many who feel at the mercy of life and believe that they are just pawns in the process.  These individuals glide along life’s path offering little resistance to what they call fate.  They feel as though life creates all that they experience and that they can do little to change things as they are dictated to by circumstances.

There are also those that will fight for what they believe in throughout their lives and will not let life’s circumstances get them down.  They push forward with conviction even under the harshest of conditions and do not let those conditions control their reaction to life.  These are the people who are motivated in life.  We can learn much from their example. 

We are only victims of circumstances if we so allow.  We are continually offered opportunities to take life by the horns.  The secret is to recognize these opportunities.  We do not have to lie dormant nor do we have to fear involvement. 

Our early influences can affect us, if we care to carry these events forward emotionally, but we can shake away the chains of the past to make any necessary changes for our current path.  It does takes some courage to move forward but it only stands to reason that if others can push through these barriers, we too can also find it within ourselves to do the same.

It just might be time to push through these past influences that have stood in our way.  It just might be time to change our belief structures and release any challenging conditions that are based on mental focus.  It just might be time to begin a new with strength and resolve that can be found within. 

Take whatever steps are necessary but most of all believe in self.  Fear nothing but fear itself.  Fear is your greatest enemy if fed but certainly surmountable if challenged.

Ages 34 to 38 in Astrology

This post pertains to those of you that are between the ages of 34-38.  If you are over these ages, how did this period affect you?  For those of you that are younger, here is a little insight for you.

At roughly 36, we all experience the third Jupiter return (it takes approximately 12 years to complete a cycle) as well as Saturn square to itself natally.  These returns bring a period into our lives that inspire a growth spurt.  Whether this opportunity encourages growth on a spiritual level or a material level, or both will be reflected in the natal position of Jupiter and Saturn in your chart.  For example, there could be material growth (second house energies) occupational growth (tenth house) or spiritual growth (twelfth house) to name just a few.

You are provided with opportunities to review your life and the belief structures that you have taken on for yourself.  This is a period when you are able to improve your attitudes towards life.  In general, you will learn more about yourself and how you fit into the world around you.  Often times there are transformations that take place in your life’s path during this period.  These transformations are in direct correlation with whatever mature outlook you have developing throughout the years.

There is a pronounced sense of freedom and new beginnings taking place in your life that offer opportunities where you believe you have vested rights and can now comfortably move into your future.  You are developing a stronger sense of self-confidence and are beginning to understand that your life is in your hands.  There is a revitalisation taking place where you are now able to review your fundamental beliefs and move forward with more confidence than before.  There is a new sense of direction and it comes from deep within your core.  You are beginning to understand that the best educator in your life’s journey comes from within.

During this same time frame, you have the Saturn transit affecting you as well.  This is a very organizational transit and it is as vital as Jupiter’s energies are ever-expanding.  Saturn keeps things in prospective.  Saturn requires you to set parameters and boundaries on a new found freedom.  Saturn helps to unify and merge these new found optimistic attitudes and self-knowledge, offering some restraint so that you have the opportunity to find your true potential without going beyond your limits.  The conflicts often accompanied with these two opposing forces are arbitrated directly by you.  There is very little outside influence.  You and you alone are in control.

Choose Your Thoughts Wisely

If we allow ourselves a few moments to reflect on who we are, what do you see?  How does this vision fit into your perceived notions of who you are? 

Take note of who you “think” you are.  Now disassociate yourself from any preconceived notions that lead to a negative approach or to what others have suggested that you are.  Focus on your true personality.  We become magnified reflections of what we choose to identify with.  We slowly materialize our perceptions and make them part of our identity.  We can be misled by notions of negativity and identify with these notions.  Once we do this, we believe these qualities to be a part of who we are.

We are in a constant state of “becoming” and what we believe to be facets of our identity only gather in strength if we choose to identify with them.  If there is something in our makeup that clearly misrepresents who we want to be, we can make a conscious choice as to whether we will allow it to manifest in physical and mental terms.  We are in control.  We are not at the mercy of any given characteristic, unless of course, we believe that we have no control of what transpires in your life, both internally and externally.

Who you are right now, at this moment, is a formulated concept of what you believe makes up the true you.  You have manufactured this identity and it is your identification with these ideas that makes them real.  I may use the term “identify” over and over again, but if we understand that our identification is what makes it so, we will understand why I use this term so frequently.  This repetition will make us aware of the control we have over situations in our lives and the manifestation of who we are becoming.

If there is something within ourselves that does not sit well within our vision of self, we can let it go.  We can stop believing that it is part of us as we do not have to own it.  We, individually, are the only persons that make anything in life truth, including our identification with concepts of all kinds.  We manifest our reality through our beliefs over time.  What we are and who we are is reflective of the beliefs we have fostered over time.

There is a saying “we become who we associate with” and we are told early in life to pick our friends wisely.   We can take this a giant step forward by saying “we become who we believe we are” and we should choose our thoughts wisely. 

Our focus expands our reality.  Channel your focus on positive attributes and watch this focus materialize.  It is a choice.

Look within and find the beauty that lies there.  Hold on to these qualities.  Let go of anything that does not resonate from your core and release yourself from its grip.  Manifest your own creations on a conscious level.

Ages 54 - 57 in Astrology

Anyone between the ages of 54-57 are now entering the stage of maturity and the ignorance of youth has faded.  You are beginning to see yourself as an integrated whole and no longer just as an extension of others.  You are becoming more clear of who you are as an individual and are comfortable enough that what others think is not that important anymore.  You are who you are and that is just fine.

This is a stage when you are more concerned about life itself than trying to living up to other people’s expectations.  You are forming relationships that make you whole.  You have come to a point where you basically know yourself and are liberated with this knowledge.  Relationships still have a place in your heart, some even deeper than anything experienced previously, but you can rid yourself of unwanted or draining relationships if this is what you need to do.  This is not to say that you have become cold or uncaring; quite the opposite.  You are beginning to understand what it is that you need and will form more meaningful relationships in order to build on this.

This period is all about self-fulfillment and self-honesty.  If you have been working well within these boundaries and living your life through generosity and love, you are well on your way to a more rewarding and a satisfying life.  You are on your way to the second Saturn return and you undoubtedly remember your first Saturn return around the age of 30, when you experienced life’s events to the fullest and matured immensely after going through a period of transformation on many levels.

There are several astrological factors that are in affect during this time period.  You will be experiencing the second progressed lunar return, which in short speaks of emotionally coming of age.  You will also be going through the Uranus trine Uranus transit, which is usually accompanied with excitement and the beginning of something new.  Neptune is also in trine to its natal position, helping you gain a more realistic point of view on where your life is heading.  For many, Pluto is also making a trine to its natal position which could be termed as a transformational life period when we taps into our true core.  You are also going through the third nodal return at this time which is directed towards a reorientation within and a clearer focus on life’s direction.

These astrological transformations taking place during this time frame usually signify a deep transformations taking place on many different levels.  Explaining these fluctuations is basically impossible to put into words in such a short post, but you now have an idea why life is going through changes on so many levels.

Enjoy the transformations taking place in your life and prepare for the next major transition to unfold as you enter the last few years of your fifties.  This marks the beginning of the second Saturn return. Many at this age will experience huge transformations.  Some contemplate retirement while others begin something new.  One thing is for certain, this will be a fruitful time and everything begins to materialize and gather momentum as you move towards this second Saturn return.

This is a high point in life and you are entering into what many call “the awakening of self” period in life.  Stay tuned to the higher frequencies that exist in life and enjoy your unfolding.
