All Signs

Recently, all the slow-moving planets have changed signs. At the end of last year, Pluto entered Aquarius for the first time since 1778-1798. (French Revolution.) In April, Neptune entered Aries for the first time since 1861-1875. (American Civil War). On Monday, Uranus enters Gemini for the first time since 1941-1949. (World War II). Uranus represents events that are unusual, upsetting, sudden and unexpected. It challenges the structures we worked hard to build. Too often, we are loathe to change, even for our own happiness. We can't leave a bad job or an unhappy marriage. This rigidity is destructive. Uranus gives us the courage to make a leap for freedom! Sometimes if we won't leap, Uranus might make the change for us. (That's me in the shallow end wearing the water-wings.)

Aries (March 21-April 19)

In the next seven years, Uranus will travel through your House of Communications, which will shake up your everyday encounters with neighbours, relatives and friends. Even your business dealings might change radically. It will be an exciting time for you to learn more, while at the same time, discard old habits of thinking. Expect the tempo of events in your daily life to increase. In fact, you might feel like you can't rely on anything - too much is changing too fast! It will be a fascinating time for you in terms of discovering new interests, particularly in the sciences and technology. You might also explore yoga, astrology and the occult - things that are "different and unusual."

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You will feel this shift of Uranus that begins this week because you are the financial wizard of the zodiac, and the unpredictable energy of Uranus will be travelling through your Money House for the next seven years. This could create changes in your economic and material situation. Learn to be flexible in matters related to money and your possessions. For example, if you are encumbered or overwhelmed with possessions, you might want to downsize so that you are living easier, with less "stuff" to deal with. Fear not, Uranus might bring you a sudden windfall. (Admittedly, it can do the opposite.) It might also force you to change how you earn money, especially if you don't like what you're doing now.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Uranus is back in Gemini for the first time since the 1940s. This will redefine your relationship to your outside world. Old patterns will be broken down, forcing you to look with new eyes at your everyday world, and the people you encounter every day. You might see that many limitations you have placed upon yourself or accepted from others are actually self-imposed? You might end a relationship? You might break free of any aspect of your life that is just "an obligation" because Uranus is about your drive for freedom, especially if change is overdue. Welcome opportunities to explore new kinds of awareness through astrology, yoga, human potential studies and consciousness-expanding techniques.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

In the next seven years, Uranus will be travelling through a "hidden" part of your chart, which means the changes it triggers will be subtle, especially because they might take place at an unconscious level in your mind. But they will be there. Sudden events might occur that were triggered by your past actions. You might face the results of unconscious compulsions or compulsive behaviour. (This hidden part of your chart relates to things about yourself you might deny.) The blessing is it's a great time to clear up old problems that have been hiding in your unconscious. Secrets might suddenly be revealed, as well as the identity of someone who has been working against your best interests.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Uranus will journey through your House of Friendships in the next seven years, which will make you rebel against any group pressures you don't like. You'll have the courage to be who you want to be when relating to others, especially groups and friends. You'll stand up for yourself. This could mean that you will look for new friends. You might seek out new and different lifestyles because you want to achieve goals you never even dreamed about before. You might have new hopes and expectations for yourself that are revolutionary. You won't be afraid to rebel against the pressure of a group, especially if others are trying to make you into something that you are not. "I am Groot!"

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

While Uranus sits at the top of your chart for the next seven years, you might experience a radical change in your professional life. You might change how you identify yourself in the world in terms of social status, reputation, and profession. You'll stand up to bosses, parents and authority figures who are repressive. Opportunities might present themselves to you to work with new techniques or a revolutionary new enterprise. Or you might change your field of work altogether. You will question any situation that you're in where you really don't want to be. Note; Make changes while you're steering the ship. Figure out what you want to do - and do it. Don't wait for lightning to strike!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Because Uranus will be in your fellow Air sign, it will encourage fundamental changes in your life that are creative and exciting! Expect new ideas and new experiences will make your life more real. You might adopt a new exercise program or new health habits. You will gain a greater awareness of the world and gain insight that adjusts your way of thinking. You might be attracted to science and technology or new techniques. Travel or a change of residence might revolutionize your life. If you're open to new experiences, and new ways of looking at your world, and changing your views -- this will be an exciting, enriching time!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Your world is changing: An old order in your life is passing away, and a new one is coming to be. As such, intense unexpected events might occur. This is because in the next seven years, Uranus will travel through your House of Transformation, associated with shared resources and personal evolution. This journey of Uranus could affect your relationship to shared finances and shared property. You might receive an inheritance. If restrictions that were imposed upon you become intolerable -- you'll be forced to do something to break free. What before was a gradual evolution, is becoming a revolution!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Uranus will sit opposite your sign for the next seven years, challenging your partnerships and one-to-one relationships. Uranus will no longer tolerate something that you have been "putting up with." Uranus will either encourage you to take action to free yourself from a relationship that is unsatisfactory; or it will trigger subconscious activities on your part that end the relationship anyhow. Please note that if your relationship is solid, it will endure, but it might undergo adjustments. (Even the best relationships need changes.) Be aware and take responsibility for your actions. Don't fall into the trap of unconsciously doing something destructive so that someone else will then respond. Steer your own ship.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Uranus will be in your House of Employment for the next seven years encouraging you to redefine your work. You might make changes in your existing job; or you'll find a new job. What is essential is that you must leave that which is dull and oppressive. You want more freedom! You want new experiences and chances to learn new things, especially related through technology. Uranus will encourage you to look for new responsibilities that offer different challenges. It wants to free you from tension associated with work you don't like. You'll want physical efficiency, as well as mental efficiency and a chance to learn and evolve!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius. (Bonus!) As Uranus travels through Gemini in the next seven years, it will be in your fellow Air sign. (Major bonus!) This window of time will be an exciting time for you because you will seek out new forms of self-expression and creative self-release. You'll discover new, entertaining diversions, new recreations, and new amusing past times (including hobbies). You might discover new experiences, or find new ways of expressing your own creative talents. Note: Exciting flirtations and new romance will be thrilling, but probably short lived. Sudden infatuations and "on and off" relationships might occur. Grab any chance to explore the arts, crafts and any kind of design work, especially if it's innovative and allows you to take new approaches to your work. Test the waters!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

In the next seven years, Uranus will travel across the bottom of your chart, which means it will trigger changes in the most personal and intimate aspects of your life, especially your home and your family relationships. You might suddenly change your home environment, or have a complete change of residence. The way to benefit from this influence is to be as flexible as possible, and be ready to encounter new ideas in your personal world. Old ties with the past might be broken. You might find that you have to break free from old habits and patterns that enslave you. Any living conditions that are unsatisfactory will probably change. Ultimately, you will feel much freer than you were in your old situation. Yay!
