Today we explore points in time these next few years when Uranian energies will be most intense, and therefore when major global events may happen.
Just as some people will be more affected than others, some nations will be more impacted by transiting semi-squares, squares, sesquisquares, and oppositions to Uranus. Neptune, Pluto, and TransPluto also, but those are beyond the scope of this article. Any of these aspects made to or from Uranus will last a long time, and by 2019 will impact an entire span of the early degrees of the Fixed signs. In 2018, with Uranus occupying the end of Aries and beginning of Taurus, Uranus makes a square to planets in very late Cancer and Capricorn, as well as very early Leo and Aquarius.
When Uranus re-enters Taurus in March 2019 and moves forward to its retrograde station at 7 Taurus in August 2019, the square energy will affect those with planets in the first 7 degrees of Leo and Aquarius, and oppose anything in the first 7 degrees of Scorpio. As it then retrogrades back to 3 Taurus, going direct on that degree in January 2020, you can see the first 7 degrees of the Fixed signs will be under pressure for about 2 years.
Add that semisquares and sesquisquares will be made to planets and points around 15-22 Gemini, Virgo, Sag, and Pisces, and you can see there are powerful upheavals, revolutions, and individualizing experiences spurring us all on to our genius, and our unique purpose for being on Earth. It’s obvious that we’ll all be impacted in profound ways, since very few charts don't have at least one planet somewhere in the early degrees of the Fixed signs and the middle degrees of the Mutable signs.
These squares will bring about major transformations in our world and the way we relate to everything and each other! While some disruptions will be severe, and many old forms will be shattered forever, we will also see major innovations and discoveries that will shake up the old world paradigm in major ways.
As I offered you 7 years ago on Uranus’ entry into Aries, “By the end of this period we shall have a new history, a new science, a new philosophy, a new mythos, and a new vision of the promise of human possibility. We shall understand the Cosmic Laws of Economy of Energy, Magnetic Attraction, and Synthesis from an entirely different angle of approach than now, and find a new way to achieve inner and outer cooperation based in a shared vision with others who share our Soul ideal.”
Looking back on the past 7 years, I’d say a lot of this is absolutely true! We’ve had archeological discoveries that push back human evolution many hundreds of thousands of years, showing we’ve been evolved far longer than we believed. Many Aries seeds were awakened by Uranus, including new economics (such as Uber, Air BnB, and other “shared resource” industries), new understanding of our global interconnectedness, AND the rapid evolution of social media among students and Masters in the three great Spiritual Schools of Art, Science, and “Philosophy.”
All who aspire to greater Self-realization have access to instantaneous communications between others, both more and less advanced, in all the Schools (Artists, Scientists, and "Philosophers"). All of us together now have a tighter connection with others in our schools, as well as other schools, which would seem to prove that we are truly a global Spiritual Interconnected Awareness. Right now, across the world, there are more of us aware of our One Life together than ever before, and we even have means to connect and confirm our participation in "the initiation of the world."
Uranus in Taurus will secure and establish these seeds of revolution and progress over the next 7 years, before they are transmuted into mind and understanding when Uranus enters Gemini. Again, these will vary with each individual person, city, state, and nation. However, there will be some points when the generic tension will be most challenging, and these are what follows.
Uranian Aspects in 2018
Besides impacting those with planets in the final degrees of Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn and planets in the first three degrees of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius, Uranus will also make aspects and be aspected by the other planets. These indicate generic times of upheaval, radical change, breakthroughs, and unexpected forces beyond individual control preempting the playing field.
Remember too that just because Uranus makes a hard aspect to any one planet, whether in your chart or transit to transit, is not indicator of doom or gloom, since it no doubt also makes other aspects that indicate mitigating circumstances or even unexpected fortuitous events. We can use the energy of the “Divine Awakener” as our personality planets are trained to do; there is no transit which automatically spells failure or a lack of an ability to respond constructively to any event.
As you already know from the Lunation articles, Uranus is semisquare Neptune, indicating an octile series driven generic friction between the Divine Awakener and the Divine Unifier. That’s why we’re all feeling a broad based friction in the atmosphere, awakening us but also setting us on a search for connectedness, both inner and outer. As planets move through the degree spans listed above, as well as the middle degrees of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces, this friction will be released in a variety of ways.
During the times that planets move through late Capricorn/early Aquarius, mid-Pisces, late Aries/early Taurus, mid-Gemini, and late Cancer/early Leo, they make “interior angles” to Uranus and Neptune, triggering octile friction but not “perfecting the pattern” since these transits represent endings and beginning of the Uranus and Neptune year cycles. Only when we have planets in mid-Virgo and late Libra/early Scorpio at the same time, as we did in September 2017 and will again in September 2018, will these 4 points create what I have termed a “Rhombus Diamond.”
This configuration features two oppositions, two semisquares, and two sesquisquares simultaneously, creating a Rhombus Diamond shape. I believe this represents a “cutting, grinding, and polishing” energy that enables us to be “cut to perfection” by whatever grinds us through this configuration. So if you have a planet or point anywhere near the zones listed above, keep in mind that the “Cosmic Diamond Cutter” is shaping you to some form of perfect presentation, and polishing your perfect facets. The Uranus semisquare Neptune will last through the Spring of 2021, when these two begin their long term septile, showing a major series of forks in the road of destiny for humanity.
Uranus is now ending its trielftile with Pluto, and will soon make a biseptile, guaranteed to be a very unstable and irrational time! This begins at the end of June 2018 with Uranus 101+ degrees from Pluto, lasting through October when the orb gets too large. We then enjoy a brief return to the trielftile between December 2018 and April 2019. The biseptile comes roaring back between May and July, and again October 2019 through December 2019.
This is the first biseptile in the larger Uranus/Pluto cycle that began at their conjunctions in the mid-1960s. The waxing septile occurred 1989-1991, so this is the next point in that larger “Pulse of Destiny.” Hot zones are around 18-22 Capricorn, 9-13 Pisces, 30 Aries-4 Taurus, 21-21 Gemini, 13-17 Leo, 4-8 Libra, and 26-30 Scorpio. If you have anything near these zones, your life will have some abrupt transformational experiences this Summer!
As you know from my Lunation articles, Saturn will be trine Uranus from now through early November, favoring all planets in early Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces, and Taurus. It will return to the extremely favorable and serendipitous tredecile by late November, lasting until mid-January 2019, when they return to a biseptile that lasts through May 2019. That biseptile will involve points very near the ones in the previous paragraph.
They then make another tredecile through July, and are harmoniously in Earth elements not making any aspect until October 2019, when they again are tredecile. You can find out more about the tredecile, the biseptile, and the trielftile by going to my articles on those specific subjects.
Jupiter already made its opposition to Uranus, so they’re making “far side” aspects for several months to come. They make a pentelftile now, will briefly make an undecaquartisextile in June and late August, another pentelftile in September, a quadranovile in late September and early October, and a triseptile in late October and early November, followed immediately by a quincunx.
Late November and early December show Jupiter is biquintile Uranus, with the sesquisquare coming in late December through most of January. Jupiter makes a quick quadraelftile in late January and early February 2019, but never quite gets close enough to make a Fire trine before Uranus returns to Taurus in March 2019.
As Mars just entered Aquarius, the Mars square Uranus is immediate, front, and center through mid-August! This will definitely impact all with planets in the first 12 degrees of the Fixed signs, and most of the second half of the Mutable signs. While it doesn’t really “go away” when Mars retrogrades back to Capricorn, the square will again dominate September, so the better you learn to deal with these volatile energies in late May, late July, and early August, the easier your September will be!
From early October through their conjunction at 30 Aries in February 2019, Mars makes the series of closing aspects to Uranus, including the binovile in early October, the quintile in late October, the sextile in mid-November, the septile in late November and early December, the semi-square just after that, and the novile in mid-December. Once Mars conjuncts Uranus at the end of Aries in February, we enter a new Uranian two year cycle that will reference the past as we move into the future.
