Uranus (the Awakener): It
is said that this energy depends on your "normal mental speed" which is
not the same as intelligence. If you are naturally quick mentally, then
you will be downloading more than usual during this initiation. Uranus
acts as a Lightning Rod that strikes and briefly illuminates an area of
your life, in this case, Aries, a new, clean slate for one and all.
Ah-ha moments will lead to more freedom and independence, but only to
the degree that you can maintain them yourself. If you are in
like-hearted circles, the conversations could be really stimulating,
unlocking perceptions across the board. If you are not naturally quick
mentally, then this will be helpful for you as you are more likely to
experience awakenings and connections to your own intuition that help
strengthen it within. The Shadow side to this energy is being
over-sensitive and jumping to conclusions. Test & Ground your
insights before hardwiring them into your Being in any way. Over-taxed
nervous system is widely available for all, so try to connect with
Mother Earth often. Whatever gets zapped (loosened) can thus be moved to
the compost pile. Whatever gets illuminated (becomes conscious) is to
be further investigated for merit, but valuable nonetheless. Keep
records of ah-ha moments as you won't be able to immediately act on all
of them at the same time and, those you cannot (at this time) often turn
into nuggets of gold in your future.
URANUS ENTERS TAURUS
5/15 ~
MARS SQ URANUS
5/16 ~ Mars (action) ~square~ Uranus (freedom):
This
is the "Rebel" energy - what's your "cause"? If you are clear about
your own authentic Truth & Purpose, then this energy is refreshing
and uplifting. You acknowledge that change is necessary (and inevitable)
and you co-create with this energy to transform your current life. This
is a rebirth energy too and being "reborn" is never easy. Worth it -
but not easy. However, if you are NOT clear about who you are and what
you're capable of, this energy shines a light on that aspect of your
life which you instinctively already know needs an overhaul but for
whatever reason you are still holding on to the old habits/patterns.
Unwilling or unable to embrace change at this time, you only increase
the feeling of being restricted by external energies. Your life is a
direct reflection of what's going on inside you. How's it lookin'? Check
your ego, recommit to your Truth and remember that change is GOOD! And
if you don't go voluntarily (read: consciously), then you'll get dragged
to the new level, kicking and screaming and you'll be so exhausted when
you get there that you may miss the beauty in evolving to the next
level. (This IS what you've been working toward, correct?) Remember,
conscious, effective action creates freedom.
MERCURY TRINE SATURN
5/18 ~ Mercury (your thinking) ~trine~ Saturn (structure & organization):
This
energy is good for deep thinking. You are sharp and your standards are
high because you are in 'strategy mode'. This is a more solitary energy
though, so communications with others may be hampered a bit because it
is time for you to hold your own, at some new level. It's time to focus
on the details that hold the big dream together, all the little things
that make the grand vision work. Some respect that attention to detail
while others may consider it nit-picky but it is what the energy
supports at this time so don't worry if others don't understand at this
time. By the same token, you may also feel a little overwhelmed by the
many "little things" that cannot be denied or delayed and thus a sense
of urgency to get it all done. Beware of a tendency toward pessimism,
depression or overwhelm. Try to stay focused on all the blessings that
you do have and all that you have accomplished instead of what's still
on the list of things to do (in life). This energy is not intended to
make you feel bad about all the things left yet to do, but encourage you
to begin the necessary steps for manifesting your dreams. This energy
just makes you focus on the practical side of manifesting. Clear the
debris, and begin to lay a new, clean, solid foundation beneath your
goals. Saturn gets you present to the necessary steps and Mercury helps
you think clearly.
VENUS SEXTILE URANUS
5/19 ~ Venus (relationships, love & money) ~sextile~ Uranus (clarity & inspiration):
This
energy, thanks to Uranus, activates a certain spark of electricity in
the air. New relationships will have an unusual aspect to them and old
ones can break-to-realign in a positive, even fun way with this energy.
No monotonous routine, humdrum people or boring collaborations with this
one. Use it to access your unique genius and deep well of creativity
and then share if you can, with other like-hearted Souls. Take advantage
of this energy to tap into areas you may not have realized were
available to you before. Keep it light and upbeat; socialize and enjoy
the experience of different people or new activities. Keep in mind,
however, any relationships begun this week may not be based on qualities
needed for long term survival. It is more a time to enjoy the people
and experiences that pass through at this time and accept this gift!
