Wednesday: Sun square Uranus and the Short Leash

Dear Friend and Reader,

Today the Sagittarian Sun is locked in a square with Pisces-Uranus, creating a situation in which there is a strain between power and liberation. Robert Hand suggests a situation where the ego is at war with itself. In other words: what is it I am supposed to be looking like right now? What do I resemble? You may find yourself with many answers to this question and they may not all go together in a harmonious fashion.

Hand also suggests that this aspect can cause sudden disruptions in routine. Such interruptions can be translated into the system needing a little more flexibility, or the integrity of the system needing a change. It is usually the way with Uranus that things happen in a lightning quick manner: Uranus is the planet associated with Prometheus and electricity. Speed of thought and intellect are involved in this transit.

My new bookshelf tenant Robert Pelletier, in his book Planets in Aspect, states that during this transit, a person will feel as though they should be allowed to do anything that they want to do. This combination of Sun conjoined Mars square Uranus feels to me like a rolling boulder of fire: a fast, heavy weight that carries a lot of release with it, but that suggests a lot of carelessness as well.
