The Inside Story
Astrology for You
Handling Uranus Transits in your Birth
Chart
According to ‘Abraham’, a group of
non-physical beings channeled by Esther Hicks, our true nature as human
beings is of “love, freedom, and joy”
“The basis of your life
is Freedom. You exist in a state of
absolute freedom, and everything that you experience is attracted by
you. Self imposed. You are even free to attract bondage”.
Uranus
is the planet most associated with freedom. But what is freedom?
Freedom from what? Do we experience ourselves as free? Apparently not.
That is why Uranus is also associated with rebellion, sudden upsets,
and instability. For it seems as though stability and freedom do not
always allow for each other. And as comfortable as the status quo can
get, the human instinct for greater and freer expression is always
outgrowing it.
Uranus governs our psychological function for
freedom but it also carries with it the connotation of autonomy and self
determination for all entities – states, countries, races, species,
planets, galaxies, and universes. Governing the sign of Aquarius, it is
apparent in these times of equal rights, animal rights, and worldwide
rebellion , insurgencies, and coops.
Oftentimes Uranus transits accompany accidents,
sudden cardiac arrest, losses, lightening strikes, natural disaster,
uprisings, and wars. One might say these things do not seem to make us
feel ‘free’. But what is emotional freedom? What is spiritual freedom?
What kind of freedom are we truly drawn to?
To be
‘ok’ regardless of circumstances is not only our ultimate quest but our
ultimate truth. It is what we are. We are free. This knowledge is the
‘universal mind’ and we all have it. In as much as we are dependant, or
victims of circumstances, creature comforts, status quo, we will be
moved, consciously, or unconsciously, toward our independence. And
Uranus will be there, marking the time.
Managing Uranus transits
Consciousness makes a
difference. Seeing a Uranus transit coming is knowing that change is not
only coming but is necessary. Can we fight it? Yes. Can we cooperate?
Yes. Usually it seems difficult to cooperate with because - why would we
move out of our comfort zones if we did not have to? Were not forced
to?
It gets easier with
practice.
Some hints for managing Uranus
aspects:
.Know where you are stuck! And be open to
unexpected ways out.
Support your
nervous system.
Uranus operates through the electrical and magnetic fields in the human
body. When in an activated Uranus period a person’s nervous system can
become over stimulated and over taxed. Nerves can become frayed. To
support your nervous system you can use supplements, especially
minerals, create a soothing environment with low lights, low noise,
candle light (non-electric), soft colors, and soothing music. Since the
heart beats with an electrical impulse, it too can be negatively
affected by over stimulation. The worst case scenario being cardiac
arrest.
Master your mind. Meditation is the most ideal way to achieve
mind control but there are other ways. Positive affirmations, good
mental boundaries, and information control can keep your mind from
‘running amuck’. Allowing any and all thoughts into your mind can bring
about nervous dysfunction and poor decision making. Uranus can bring
great flashes of knowledge but there is no guarantee that what is so
brilliantly realized is also right and appropriate. As the saying goes,
‘There’s a fine line between genius and insanity’.
Ground yourself. Stay in your body and keep an awareness of
your physical surroundings. Use practical tasks to help with grounding.
Do outside work, especially with the ground, some gardening, yard work,
or nature in general.
Avoid Risk taking and extreme sports. Although Uranus aspects can be useful for
someone wanting to try something new, even a new sport, some caution and
judgment is advisable. Studies have shown Uranus’ presence at the time
of accidents, especially coupled with Mars, but really in many possible
combinations, depending on other factors. Included in the ‘avoid risk
taking’ category is avoiding radical decisions, especially if they
involve great investment. And emotional decisions are included here too.
Madly in love during Venus/Uranus aspects can pale into boredom after
the aspects are gone.
The Good News: Taking advantage of the opportunity in Uranus
aspects
Uranus is associated
with flashes of insight and illumination, the proverbial, ‘light bulb’,
and , as fast as lightening one might know the answer, see a solution,
or get a flash of the future. This is because Uranus is a connection to
the universal mind.
Some hints for getting
the most out of Uranus aspects:
Write it down! (or sketch it) Whether it be an idea, or a
poem, a drawing, a plan, a strategy, or a ‘message’, or some creation –
write it down! Throughout the duration of Uranus’ influence document all
your ideas. Later you may look at them and see the genius (or insanity)
in them. At least you will have them. Like lightening they can be gone
as quickly as they came
Time your changes. If you are looking to change a job, relationship, or move,
Uranus can help. Keeping in mind some of the cautions from above
regarding impulsive actions, you can use the innate ‘rebel’ within you
to make necessary breaks from the past or from unhealthy bonds you feel
stuck in. Stand up for your rights- demand equality and fairness.
Receive the perfection of the present moment. Uranus does not care about the past, and
surely does not care to preserve the past. Inherent in Uranus energy is
the idea that each ‘now’ moment is perfect and complete. Perhaps this is
why Uranus is said to rule Astrology – each moment deviates from any
other previous moments and is therefore unpredictable. So although we
can talk about astrology predictions these ‘predictions’ are actually
best guesses – based on previous patters with some ‘new wrinkles’. This
is why astrology predictions are so arbitrary.
