TRANSITING URANUS CONJUNCT NATAL MOON

Before we go into the definition of this aspect, it is important that you review the placement of Transiting Uranus as well as where the Moon is placed in your own personal natal chart.  These will be the areas of life that are affected by this transit.  The conjunction does not have to have negative effects if there is positive aspects between these two bodies in the natal chart, or if the Moon is very well aspected in the birth chart. 

The transit between the Moon and Uranus does suggest some change on an emotional level that can be quite disruptive, particularly if you have been following a ridged emotional pattern where you have not allowed your emotions to be released or expressed.  Any restrictive behaviour in terms of how you have been handling life from an emotional perspective is now subject to reckless and possible impulsive behaviour.  Your mood can vary considerably under this transit and you might find your emotions very hard to control.

Incidents involving women, particularly your Mother, can come under attack during this aspect.  Things intensify and your relationship may go through some struggles, or changes may come suddenly out of nowhere.  Sometimes you are the one orchestrating these behaviours, and other times it may stem from others.  This can involve women in general and in the case of men with this conjunction, they may find that they are attracted to women that may be eccentric or original in their behaviour.  Sometimes these women come into your life to help you move forward in ways that you may have been stagnating previous to this time.  Other times they are just disruptive and cause trouble to the normal routine, although things may have felt rather dull before this conjunction but they will certainly not feel that way now.

The Moon has to do with your emotional response and your emotional needs.  If you are supported in your life and you have been nurtured especially when you were young, your emotional expression would relay this to the outside world.  You may be nurturing yourself and want to look after others and play a mother role or a nurturer for them. 

If, however, your emotional upbringing was anything but smooth, you may have difficulties expressing your more sensitive side, especially if you have other factors in your chart suggesting this, such as strong Capricorn tendencies.  Things may change during this transit and you may have to deal with either being taken advantage of, or you may not responding well in emotional ways.  Change is what Uranus’ energies are about--required change and also freedom of expression.  If these have been hindered, this may be the time for such things to be reviewed and changed.

The Moon also has to do with your domestic life.  This could include your actual home or if you own property, your real estate might be subject to change such as a move or making changes within the home’s environment.  Some look for cottage property and some just do some remodeling to make their environment more comfortable. 

Watch for being too impulsive at this time.  Above all else, this is a time to truly get in touch with your feelings.

LIFE'S BEAUTY

Have you every purposely taken a close look at all that surrounds you?  Are there trees and gardens?  Are there nature trails nearby that you have taken advantage of?  Is there a body of water close by?  Are there farmers’ fields?  What types of shops and buildings are in your area?  Have you looked around your home and actually been thankful for all that is available to you? 

There is so much beauty that surrounds us yet so many of us spend our days busy listening to the babbling voice in our mind.  We miss the enjoyment of the moment and see very little of what is next to us. 

Have a look around you right now as you are reading this post.  I mean a really good look.  Don’t just scan your surroundings.  Focus to see all the little details in your surroundings.  Take them in and feel their presence.  Let them make an imprint.  Why ignore what is right in front of you?

Now go a step further.  Review your life itself, your children, your other half, your pets, your parents and brothers and sisters, all of your family whether blood or chosen, those whom you work with or see regularly at work. 

Now go even deeper and pay attention to those that you pass on the road, in the store, on your walk or in the movie theater.  Take it all in during the moment and let this “seeing” spill into your day.  Pay attention to it all.  Experience breathing in the air...actually feel the warmth of the air or the coldness of the air.  Experience how it feels on your skin.  Feel the warmth of the Sun.  Experience the stars.   Feel the energy of the Moon within you.  Take in the fragrances of all that surrounds you.

When people are on holidays, they take in much of their surroundings and experience life much more than when we are living our day to day life.  Why don’t we focus on everyday life just as we do while we are on holidays?  Each moment is special and holds its own magic.  We CAN open our eyes to that which we normally take for granted and feel life’s experience.  We can even feel life’s vibrations and our interaction with what is taking place in our lives if we place our focus there.  We can also experience intuition and a connection to all living things if we choose to pay attention to these energies.  This and so much more surrounds us each and every moment.  What are we missing?

The next time we feel life is offering us nothing, we should have a little peak at what is right in front of us.  If life feels difficult it is not because of the events that are taking place, it is due to our attitude of what is taking place.  All this that we fight will eventually pass but these events would be much easier to experience if we just accepted.  We are not suggesting that we allow ourselves to be a victim.  Quite to the contrary; we cannot allow ourselves to be victims.  We can take control of our reaction to life and insist that it will benefit us, not knock us down. 

When life is what we term as good, we can hold this energy in our hearts and be thankful.  Our hard times offer growth and our wonder moments provide us with happiness and peace.  Experience it all.  Time waits for no one.  We are only here for a short time in the grand scheme of things, but in the moment, we have eternity.  Gratitude and happiness are within our grasps always.  Take advantage of what life is offering but we have to recognize this to enjoy it.

TRANSITING URANUS CONJUNCT NATAL SUN

This aspect between Uranus and the Sun is a very fruitful and dynamic aspect.  It is an aspect with energies that are concerned with freedom of expression, without restriction, and with the ability to be who you are regardless of what others think.  In many ways, it is a new self-expression without limitations; free to be if you wish.  You are barred from any restrictions.  It is an opportunity to be more than you have been in the past, a chance to throw away any self-doubt and a chance to break barriers that have held you back.  If you have imposed limits on your self-expression, this will be the time when you can let them go.  If you need to make a break from the past, this will be the time when you move out into the world and become or allow your true self.

The Sun deals with life’s objectives and the ability to move forward with these opportunities.  Uranus will bring you surprising results if you dare to go the extra mile and are not afraid of standing out or being viewed as different.  You can make sweeping changes in your life based on what you want to do with it now.  Not much will hold you down unless you fear what might take place.  You will be your only limitations.

This offers a new start, a new beginning and freedom to move ahead in any new direction that life offers you.  You can be the one that makes these things happen but do not be afraid to push into new territories.  Even if you fall, you will be able to get back up, but you are your driving force and you decide what you want to happen.  Your goals and aspirations have the potential to expand and manifest themselves in new and inventive ways.  If you have been caught up in dull routines and wish for something new and exciting, this will be the time to take such actions.  Change is what this aspect speaks of, and if you are willing to allow, get ready as things can happen at the drop of a hat.  Swiftness is common and you can expect the unexpected.

You have to be careful at this time as people tend to rush and make rash decisions and sometimes accidents can happen.  But as long as you think before you act, you should be just fine.  Your energy levels might be very high at this time, and pushing yourself beyond your limits is not advised.  Don’t take chances with your health and look after your body’s needs.

You may find opportunities to advance in your career especially if you have good aspects to the MC or Ascendant.  You may attract unconventional acquaintances at this time that help to facilitate the changes taking place in your life.  Enjoy them.  They may not be around for long.  You may find that the people who interest you now will be quite different from what you have been accustomed to previous to this time.  They will, however, bring adventure and something new along with them if you allow them to enter your life.

ORACLE CARD READING TESTIMONIAL

I felt that Peter really connected with me and my concerns about where my life is going and what my focus needs to be at this time. He gave me a great reading that was very detailed. It was my first reading and he took his time and explained everything. I didn’t feel rushed at all.

I got information that showed me my strengths and my challenges as I walk my path. I have always sensed these things but was afraid to step into the light. Peter has given me the information that I needed to hear and now, it’s up to me to step up my game and honour my spirit instead of being lost in ego.

I am so grateful to Peter for being out there and channeling this information in such a clear and empowering way. 

Besides that, it was also just so inspirational to me to see someone who takes his craft very seriously and is actually living what is so obviously, his calling.

Thank you, Peter!

SUN IN PISCES

The Sun moves into the sign of Pisces on February 19 in 2017. 

Those with their Sun in Pisces often have focused energies on serving a higher purpose.  Many are mystically inclined and those that are not given to such predispositions are, at the very least, very open minded and willing to learn.  They understand on an intuitive level that there is more to life than the so called usual day-to-day activities such as working, sleeping and eating.  Those with a heavy Pisces influence in their charts are in search of life’s real meaning.

Pisceans can be rather dreamy, even vague and can be quite changeable and adaptable to life’s situations.  Pisces is a mutable, water sign making these individuals versatile, moody and emotionally intense. 

As this is the final sign of the zodiac, many Astrologers believe that they have experienced each of the other signs through past life reincarnation.  Because of this, they are able to accept all people as equals and are inclined to want the best for everyone.  This vision of others may be considered by some to be somewhat naïve, although this is not the case.  Pisceans just have a great love for humanity as a whole and are subject to being at the aid of those that are experiencing difficulties in life.  They are kind, considerate and compassionate when it comes to their dealings with others.

Their minds are deep and reflective, and they are deeply affected by their overly sensitive, emotional nature.  They “feel” long before they think and they rely on their innate understanding produced from their own personal experiences. 

Pisceans do, however, have great difficulties when it comes to dealing with life’s harsh realities, sometimes hiding their heads in the sand and avoiding difficulties if at all possible.  Some are so challenged in this area that their need to escape leads them to alcohol and drug abuse.  Some Pisceans could even be considered self-delusional.  Self-deception can become a vice that they depend on to survive the challenging life conditions.

Pisces individuals can be very imaginative and they can use their sensitivities to help others.  Many have healing potential, especially once they learn to heal themselves.  Many are quite talented in the arts, music, and teaching can be a profession that appeals to them.  Their compassion and kind hearts often brings them in contact with other people that suffer.  They instinctively understand this suffering as they have experiences in these areas.  Although they are inclined to experience the harsh side of life at times, they can be resilient especially when they learn to focus their attention on the experience rather than run away from these life events.  Pisceans would make great counsellors, especially with drug addiction and alcoholism as they understand what true addiction is.  Once they learn to face life head on, they will often bounce back stronger than ever and use this knowledge they have learned not only for themselves but also for others.

One of Pisces’ best qualities is their compassionate nature and they will gladly help others, some even “allow” others to take advantage of their gentle nature.  Once they see through the illusions that some people attempt to create around them, they can be quite hurt.  Their feelings run deep. 

Pisces individuals also have to learn not to take on other people’s energies.  Often they experience feelings of depression or stress and can’t understand why they are feeling that way.  If they cannot explain why they are experiencing what they are feeling, it would be wise for them to look around as they will surely find what they are experiencing actually stemming from someone else. 

Pisces’ love knows no bounds, and they truly feel for others.  They offer themselves up through pure kindness to those in need.

Much of our description of Pisces will depend greatly on the placement of the other planets in the birth chart.  Because of Pisces’ sensitivity and because it is such a gentle sign, these individuals will be affected by other more powerful character traits located in the rest of the birth chart.  What we have described however are the deep true characteristics of a strong Pisces individual.

GOING THE EXTRA MILE

It is said that if you are going to do a job…any job, always do your best.  It does not matter what others think.  Their opinions are simply that, “an opinion”.  It can be difficult to be on your toes when it comes to doing the best you can, but how can you truly be satisfied with what you do unless you give it your all.

The end result is not as important as the effort put forth.  We are human and we will never do everything perfectly but we can give it our best shot.  Do not be too critical when you do your own personal review.  We cannot ask for anything more than our best.  

Putting out our best effort can and should include our job regardless of the type of work we do.  We may feel that our job is unimportant.  Remember this is just an opinion as well.  If it were not important it would not exist. 

When we give our best, we feel better about what we do regardless of what it is.  This can be especially important when it comes to meeting the needs of those around you.  Family and friends deserve your best effort and remember, what you put out comes back to you.  We will come across those that do not seem to have gratitude but that it their journey not ours.

Most important, do we do our best for ourselves?   Do we treat ourselves with respect (without ego being involved)?  Are we grateful for our own capabilities, our accomplishments, etc? 

Believe in yourself.

What we do in our “everyday life” will have a profound effect on those around us as well as on self.  When we give ourselves completely, even to what we consider the mundane daily routines, we can feel good about what we do and our efforts. 

Life’s daily circumstances sometimes will dictate just how great the results of our efforts may be but do not be too critical on yourself.  Do your best and be the best person you can be.  Everything else will fall into place.

TRANSITING URANUS SQUARE NATAL ASCENDANT

Transiting Uranus square the natal Ascendant can affect you in very personal ways.  It quite often involves relationships, your occupation (especially if Uranus is also making an aspect to the MC), your home and family (particularly if Uranus is also making an aspect to your IC).  There may be great challenging condition linked to all or some of these life areas.  Uranus is always about moving out of restrictive conditions in life--anything holding you back and stifling your evolution on some level is subject to changing conditions through Uranus’ influence.

Uranus may also bring people into your life that initially may appear quite different than those you are accustomed to being with and these people may help to facilitate some change that perhaps should have taken place some time ago. 

This square can be quite disruptive when it comes to close personal friendships and especially with your marriage partner.  Some relationships break up all together during this time while those that are built on more solid ground will still go through some needed changes, but remain intact after this transit is over.

This transit could also affect your home environment.  Some individuals with this aspect may redecorate the home, while others may seek a new place to live.  This may cause some problems as things under Uranus’s influence seem to happen quite suddenly and often when least expected.  Old patterns in life which a short while ago seemed quite appropriate are now subject to great scrutiny and also might see great changes.  What once was, no longer seems to suit life’s purpose or seems to be stifling you.  You will see some much needed changes to your life.

Sometimes people come into your life and they are behind these sudden changes that take place.  These individuals may be the spring board that initiate the changes that are necessary, and you may find that sometimes they vanish from your life as quickly as they came into it as they have fulfilled their purpose.  They are the catalyst for change and sometimes without these people coming into our lives we would remain stagnant for longer periods of time and as a result, very little in terms of growth occurs.

Although this aspect can be quite disruptive, it should not be considered negative.  These changes and the need to break free and start anew or change direction is actually just what is needed.  Those that know you well may have trouble figuring out who you are becoming and may not agree with what you are trying to implement into your life.  They may feel that your actions are somewhat rash and impulsive and often things happen without giving anyone notice.  This can be quite upsetting for those that know you as steady and reliable.  There is a new you emerging and those that are not open to that individual may have to find ways to accept what you are becoming. If not, they may find that they are removed from your life, as their companionship now no longer serves any real and viable purpose.

You are more of a free spirit at this time and in many cases after this transit has completed its cycle what you knew as “normal life” no longer exists and a new course has been set in motion.  It may take some time to fully appreciate what has taken place, but the changes that were set in motion during this aspect are usually quite beneficial.  If at all possible, try not to jump into situations and think things out before you make a move.  If life has been dull or you feel stuck and complacent, however, you just might need to make the change that is presenting itself during this aspect.
