Uranus in Aries

Uranus is winding up its sojourn through Pisces. We’ve had 7 years to awaken our dreams and hidden talents; a chance to break through the haze and mist and find some clarity with which to think about the future. What are your future plans and how can you progress to make your dreams come true? That time is just around the corner as Uranus bursts into the cardinal, fire sign Aries on March 13. It’s time to put into action all that you’ve been dreaming about for the past 7 years. Make new beginnings by facing and conquering fear on your own terms otherwise Uranus has the tendency to breakdown structures in life that are badly outdated without any concern for your feelings. So why not become aware and be somewhat conscious of the roller coaster ride. You’ve had a glimpse of what the new beginnings might be back in June, July and early August 2010 when Uranus just touched 0 degrees Aries. The past few months this powerhouse planet retrograded back into Pisces asking for one more refinement of what it is you want to change. Jupiter conjunct Uranus in the last degrees of Pisces lends confidence to make that leap of faith we all so badly need to make change in our lives. Divorce yourself from the past, learn from it and move forward into new territory. We may not be able to totally eradicate fear but awareness promotes a healthy detachment from it and an eventual love of the new birth and child we create.
