"How does one adequately describe what we've endured over the last few
years? The words "change" and "transformation" don't quite express the
path we've walked since 2012 or the depth of uncertainty and darkness
that has accompanied us at times. Instead we turn to myth and poetry to
give us the right language. Rilke* said it so eloquently: Let this darkness be a bell tower and you the bell. As you ring, what batters you becomes your strength. For many of you Uranus and Pluto are new additions to your astrology
lexicon. And if they are, I invite you to stretch out beyond the Sun
because Uranus and Pluto are why everything lately has been profoundly
different. These two planets have been locked together since 2012 and
each time they clash their energy pushes us to make another leap in our
personal evolution. Today is the last of seven squares. This is a
big deal. We've officially made it through some of the toughest
astrology we'll ever endure. One of the things I've advocated over the
last few years is for each and every one of us to feel empowered to use
this energy to make positive changes in our lives — push through old
blocks, old fears, limiting beliefs, etc. Honor this day and honor how
far you've come. Create a ritual to signal the threshold that you're
crossing today. You've made it. Here we are, the last square between Uranus and Pluto,
two monumental forces that have been battling it out since 2012. Like
the Sumerian myth of Inanna passing through the seven gates, we’ve
endured seven initiations at the hands of Uranus and Pluto and each time
we’ve had to leave a piece of our old life behind. To say it’s been
hard is an understatement. If astrology tells us what time it is, then the Uranus/Pluto square
has been a clock pointing to change on an epic scale. And squares — two
planets 90 degrees apart from each other — incite us to take action.
Pluto tears down the old and Uranus inspires to innovate something new.
It’s revolution and breakdown as much as it’s awakenings and
breakthroughs. Seven is such a powerful number. There are seven chakras, seven days
of the week, seven notes, and seven planets in antiquity. If the seventh
square between Uranus and Pluto is a nod to Saturn, the last classical
planet, then it is intriguing that Saturn turned retrograde on March 14,
a couple of days before the final event. So where do we go from here? What does it all mean? Uranus and Pluto will pass the baton to Saturn and Neptune; now begins our search for truth.
It may start as an existential crisis, but the next leg of our
evolutionary journey is to try to make sense of where we’ve been and
connect it to something beyond ourselves. Neptune in Pisces show us to
the oneness of everything. Saturn in Sagittarius is the to ground the
experience in reality with rituals and structure. This will be a major
focus later this year and into 2016. But before we say goodbye to the Uranus/Pluto square, don’t forget to
create with their potent energy. If Pluto has cleared the landscape,
what will you build in its place? What new idea is ready to breakthrough
and take root? As we pass through the last initiation of Uranus and
Pluto, don’t forget to mediate and reflect. How will you honor these
initiations? Your new consciousness? That said, we’ve just made it
through some of the toughest astrology we’ll ever experience. Surely that’s worth a celebration! " https://www.facebook.com/empoweringastrology/posts/879562788751767
" Where do you belong? Who are your friends? Your community? What are your hopes for the future? With Saturn slowing down and changing direction on March 14, you may be seeking the answers to these questions more than ever this month. Saturn is your ruling planet and he has you on a quest for much of this year and into the next. While it may take a while to find the answers, March will be your first chance to sit down with Saturn and do a review. Maybe you've discovered that the people you thought were good friends are not so much. Regardless, this is an area of your life you'll be strengthening. So, join a group this month. Network. Find your tribe. Saturn will be pleased if you do. Another area of focus this month will be career. With Mars passing through the heavy hitting energies of Uranus and Pluto, change is on the agenda, especially in the days around March 11. At the heart of Uranus and Pluto is a push for you to do career in a way that is authentic. If you've been working in an industry that your heart is just not in, this may be the month that you feel pushed in a new direction. You may even have an epiphany that will open you up to new possibilities. Don't be afraid to be innovative. Then again, you're an Aquarius, the sign that is naturally the genius. If you have an oddball idea, don't hold back. Get it out there!
