Pluto-Uranus Square--Turning Our Backs on Our Past

-
Since Neptune is a big player in my Natal Chart, I like to refer to cinema or photographs or music to give analogies of the types of energies presented to us by the planets.  When I think of the Pluto-Uranus Square in the Cardinal Signs, I recall clips from the movie Brother Sun, Sister Moon which chronicles the early years of Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Claire.

In the first clip, we see the young Francis turning his back on his family, community, and everything he ever knew to take up the cross.  He literally walked naked into the world and into the realm of contemplation eventually leading him to become a friar and then the founder of the Franciscan Order of Minor Friars.  While I wouldn't ask anyone to walk naked into the world and leave everything behind, if you are experiencing the Pluto-Uranus Square, you will need to leave a lot behind because you are transcending into a new way of being.  So use the courageous Francis as an example.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Libra saint was experiencing Uranus and Pluto transits at the time of his conversion--makes sense, right?

Uranus in Aries is about speaking our truth, but we must do this from the heart.  Here is the Pope scene from the same movie.

Happy Feast Day, Fool for Love, Francesco (October 4).

A Capricorn Sense of Humor

  Yes, Virginia, Capricorns Have a Sense of Humor Often I hear from others that Capricorns don't have a sense of humor. And it's true that many astrologers have painted a bleak and doom picture of our Capricorn friends. I have a Capricorn Rising Sign and half of my birth family is Capricorn. We have enjoyed raucous laughter. So, let me tell you about Capricorn humor. It's not as refined as Libra wit nor does it fall in line with Scorpionic dark humor or Sagittarius vulgar humor. And yet, Capricorn humor contains elements of vulgarity, darkness, and refinement. And it is as quirky as Aquarius humor and as surreal as Pisces humor. And yet, it is in a league of its own. Let's gaze at the humor of actresses Julia-Louise Dreyfus and Diane Keaton. I really only remember Julia-Louise from her Seinfeld days. I never watched any of the movies in which she appeared. This comedic actress wed physical humor with surrealism and she wasn't shy of express

Liz Gilbert, TED TALKS Whole Astrology is now over four years old. I'm pulling this article from the 2012 archives. It as popular when I first posted it so I'm sure it's still of interest. I mentioned Liz Gilbert in my article on meditation by planet.  Then a colleague sent me sent me this chart   You can also view the chart below. Cancer Sun Aries AC Virgo Moon  I doubt that Liz Gilbert was born at 12:00 p.m. and usually when a person is given an Aries AC at 12:00 p.m. it is because a birth time is missing, not always though.  I don't see any yods in the chart, but if these are the right houses for Liz, then we can see where the events of "Eat, Pray, Love" came from. Star IQ Astrology site In the seventh house (of marriage), Liz has Uranus and Jupiter at 0 degrees Libra , a perfect conjunction.  Since the planets are at 0 degrees Libra, they have just entered that sign, and the Libran energies of partnership would feel new to the natal Jupit

Uranus Transits from 1930s to 2019---Radical Change

-

For the past several months, I've been researching the ways Uranus has ushered in changes through several decades beginning in the 1940s. Originally, I was considering writing a series with PDFs for each transit per sign along with podcasts. But now, I'm considering writing a book that will include the 1960s transits and the Uranus transits. For now, I'm going to include a brief article featuring each Uranus transit and the events and people that appeared during those times. The equation is Uranus' shocking grassroots energy + the themes of each Zodiac Sign. Uranus also formed a conjunction with Pluto in the 1960s. And after the Harmonic Convergence, the late 1980s, Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn formed a powerful Triple Conjunction in Capricorn. We're currently seeing the kids born during that time taking leadership positions (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for starters). The dates below sometimes don't include the dip back into the previous Z
