Have you ever seen a person or a situation rapidly degrade? It’s stunning isn’t it? The first hit comes and then the next and the next and the next and the next.  With Uranus set to square Pluto into 2014 (see introduction and check exact dates), we’re all going to witness this kind of thing. You wake up and seemingly overnight, something is wiped out. It could be your marriage, your town or your good looks. It could be your health but it could also be your fear, your lack of commitment,  you name it.  Whatever happens, something else happens right behind it.  It becomes a chain of events like dominoes falling and you just can’t put it back the way it was.

O Lightning » 7 Leguge Boots

December 31st, 2011 @ 9:30 am by O Lightning

Here comes the year of the Dragon. Officially we can start on January 23, and kick that puny Rabbit year to the curb.. (sorry Rabbit peeps)

Isn’t it nice how Ancient Mayan’s and Western Planetary Astrology and Eastern Terrestrial Astrology all agree that this is a pivotal year.

Get on your 7Leguge boots, because we are all taking major steps.. Literally.
wiki:

Seven-league boots are an element in European folklore. The boots allow the wearer to take great strides—seven leagues each step—resulting in great speed. The boots are often presented by a magical character to the protagonist to aid in the completion of a significant task. (A league is three miles, so seven leagues is 21 miles or just under 35 kilometres.) The idea arose from the practice of horse-messengers having their boots only touch the ground every seven…

This is a great report, priced right! It lists all the transits to your natal chart, Mars through Pluto, for a year. It includes the date the transit is exact, the time frame when the transit is active as well as a short, useful note around what you can expect.

Here is a sample:

Dec 6, 2010 (Oct 30, 2010 to Jan 10, 2011) ura sqr asc

Unexpected changes in your relationships and life in general occur at this time. You are not easily satisfied with things now; even if everything seems to be going along fine, you feel the need to stir things up. You would almost rather have an upset or crisis just for the excitement!

Uranus, the planet of the unexpected, takes 84 years to orbit around all 12 signs of the zodiac.  In 2012, it will pass over Aries at 0 degrees 51 minutes to 8 degrees 33 minutes.
Uranus first entered fiery Aries for 2 months between 28th May and 13th August 2010.  It left Pisces completely on 11th March 2011 and will stay in Aries until 15th May 2018.  Just to complicate matters, it will revisit Aries for about 4 months from 7th November 2018 and leaves Aries for good on 5th March 2019.
With Uranus, expect the unexpected.  If you can think of it, then Uranus can take it one step further.  This planet demands freedom and independence.  Once your planets get zapped by its electrifying energy, life will not be the same again.  As with other transits, you can

The Moon and Uranus in Aries clash with the Sun and Pluto in Capricorn.

Should you act courageously…or cautiously?

Should you go for the thrill…or should you fortify your defense?

Mars in Virgo continues to challenge Mercury in Sagittarius.

To fare well in these conditions, strive for knowledge and wisdom.

A sense of energization appears today that has been lacking the last few days. It could be the excitement that comes with New Year’s Eve or the fact that with the Moon in Aries, we’re ready, willing, and able to get into action. Sitting still holds little appeal; rather, movement and dynamic experiencing feel to be what we crave.

As the Moon is in Aries it makes its monthly union with radical Uranus and square with probing Pluto. Surprises may be in store–with one of the biggest ones how we feel about something. It may be quite different than we had previously considered.

If deep emotions arise we should let ourselves connect to them. Yet, care is warranted in expressing them to others as there’s a greater potential to say things out of frustration we could later regret.

Our desires…

Will you swim with the Big Fish in an increasingly smaller pond on New Years Eve?

I do believe that embracing the positive side of Neptune in Pisces in the years ahead can ameliorate the abrupt and abrasive changes occuring as a result of the Uranus Pluto square, but it is a cautionary tale, because it is so easy to slip into the problematic side of Neptune. In a symbolic way it is similar to a person numbing the pain of difficulty in life, with alcohol and medication, masking real life problems, or ignoring them until they get worse.

As a collective we are so good at this kind of thing, living as we do in so many ways that are unsustainable. Individually, we mere mortals are so good at this too, aren’t we? In a world were fixing today’s debt problems means borrowing ever greater amounts. Where printing more…

I don’t know if you guys noticed but at the end of my Capricorn New Moon article I indicated that a few hours after Aquarius New Moon launches on January 23 Mars turns retrograde. Mars retro happens every couple years so it is not exactly a unique experience but the fact that it is happening on new moon is very notable.

Usually with Aquarius we are searching for like minded individuals. We are trying to find a tribe that makes sense for us. At the same time we are finding what is unique about us. The fact that Mars is going retro in Virgo steps on that tribal energy and our unique energy. Perhaps we have forgotten what makes us unique, perhaps we have forgotten to look for like minded tribe? Whatever, Mars does not like being in Virgo…

The New Year starts out with all planets direct and moving forward for a change. The tone for the upcoming year as indicated by the New Year’s Day chart is a continuation of the Solstice with cardinal earth dominating. We need to stick with practical, balanced and equitable solutions for best results.

Best remember Mars in Virgo is slowing down to station retrograde on 23 January 2012! When Mars is stationing, getting projects up and running may take much longer than planned for, and since we’re dealing with Virgo we need to [...]

Auntie Moon » Thoughts for the New Year

December 30th, 2011 @ 8:09 pm by Auntie Moon

Each time the New Year rolls around, lots of us start feeling some serious pressure to make a few resolutions. Transiting Saturn can be a great motivator toward figuring out exactly what you “should” be working on. Wherever he is in your chart gives you a major clue about your homework for the year. If you’ve [...]
