I was having dinner with a friend last night, who mentioned that a take-away from my recent coverage was: there’s a storm coming, batten down the hatches. It’s true that there is a lot and I do mean a whole bunch of Aries in the sky now — one planet after the next is crossing the Aries Point, making a conjunction to Uranus and then a square to Pluto. We are all bound to feel that in some way.

This is a week when the generational astrology — Uranus square Pluto — comes out to the forefront of our experience. We actually get to see what this aspect is about. Expect the unexpected. Among many other aspects, the Sun makes a conjunction to Uranus, synchronous with the Libra Full Moon, then makes a square to Pluto. I’ll come back to that story in a moment.

First, to focus my message: it is not hunker down. My intended message is: our current astrology, involving the Uranus-Pluto square (approx. 2011-2017, with a wide margin on either side) is a once in a lifetime opportunity to change the patterns of your life, to grow, to set yourself free and to take part in the upheavals of society, in a productive way. That is not easy for everyone. To some extent we are all attached to whatever stability we have. At the moment, that’s only going to get you so far. Under the current astrology, any situation that cannot flex is likely to snap.
