Uranus Retrograde: 7/5/10 – 12/5/10> Teetering on the Divide

Uranus turns retrograde on July 5th, 2010 @ 0°35′ Aries.

Retrograde Uranus will remain at Aries Point until August 14th then backtrack into Pisces where direct station occurs on December 5th @ 26°40′ Pisces. On March 11th, 2011 Uranus reenters Aries and remains in the Sign of the Ram until 2019.

We are now at the end of our Uranus in Pisces experience and Uranus will not be revisiting Pisces for another 84 years.

Uranus first covered the degree’s of this retrograde phase in direct motion between March 19th and July 5th, 2010. This period was one of heightened activity due to Uranus being in the completion stages of a seven-year residency within Pisces and also due to the ongoing opposition with Saturn(which only occurs every 28+ years). Not to be overlooked has also been Uranus’s role in the continuing T-Squares and Grand Crosses of 2010.

These powerful configurations, in which Uranus has been a participant, have been changing our existence by catalyzing us to release outgrown forms and ways of Being while placing us within new forms and archetypes that are a better suited and more productive platform to preform effectively within the current climate of Humanities evolution.

Due to Uranus (and Jupiter!) straddling Pisces and Aries, this upcoming period will be a time of continuing major completions, even while new forms and ways continue to come forth.

The activity of the many past months has been one of seeming instability for we truly have been rocking between the extremes of old and new (saturn-uranus), responsibility and freedom(saturn-uranus) and endings and beginnings(pisces-aries) in both literal and archetypal forms.

While much has been wrapped up in our individual lives in relation to Uranus/Pisces and their relevance within our personal charts we will have one last sweep of Pisces and possibly more completions to attend to from late August of this year until March of 2011 as Uranus finishes his Piscean journey.

Grand Cross June 15th-30th 2010> Dates and Specifics of Note> WooHoo! An Energy Workers Delight..Are You Ready? :)

The Sun is preparing to join the current T-square of Saturn, Pluto, Uranus and Jupiter and on June 15th until June 30th we will be experiencing our next Grand Cross of the 2010 season.

Mercury is moving quickly now and will join the Grand Cross a few days after it forms. During the Grand Cross formation, the Sun and Mercury will have their Superior Conjunction, an important aspect in relation to the previous Mercury retrograde period.

This 2 week period also contains other significant events with the Summer Solstice arriving on June 21st and the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn on June 26th.

These coming weeks are sizzling with energy and many will be feeling pressured to make adjustments and new choices in many different life area’s. Late mutable and early cardinal placements are feeling this most intensely; as has been true for some time now.

This post is a closer examination of the Grand Cross itself and notes important dates of this period as well as when the Moon will jazz it up even more. The Solstice, upcoming Capricorn Eclipse and Superior conjunction of the Sun and Mercury will be further expanded upon in later posts over the next week.

Uranus Enters Aries 5-27-10 followed by The Uranus-Jupiter Conjunction at Aries Point 6/7/10: Learning to Shift these Gears preceding A Ride in Overdrive(?)> Be nice to the Hedges. :)

Uranus enters Aries today and will be joined by Jupiter on June 7th heralding the much anticipated Jupiter-Uranus conjunction at Aries Point. On August 15th, Uranus shall slide back into Pisces in retrograde motion and retrograde Jupiter follows suit a few weeks later on September 10th. Uranus will reenter Aries on  March 12th, 2011 and remain in the Sign of the Ram until 2018.  When Uranus reenters next March, Jupiter will already have traveled the first 10° of Aries due to having a shorter retrograde duration than Uranus so therefore we will be receiving the max impact of these two planets conjoined during the upcoming weeks.

I am going to offer something a little different today in this post then what I normally do and just bounce right through with zero format or proofing and lay it out as I work my way through sifting info I have been receiving and sorting it into the ‘this-that-and-the other’ as it comes to me. I like having someone to ‘bounce with’ at times yet today it is just me, myself and I so I am going to do it right here on site as if I am bouncing with you(?). 🙂  If you don’t mind a little intuitive analysis thrown in, a bit of story telling and a lengthier post then please continue on and I hope you find something of value!

Reflecting (ok, maybe rambling) on my 12th House Gem Moon/Cancer Asc as We Proceed to the Cardinal Crosses> Weary yet Hopeful

My 12th house Moon at 29° Gemini conjunct my Cancer ascendant has always been a challenge for me. Not a fluffy moon, it receives squares from my angular South Node, Pluto, Uranus, Jupiter and Mercury at the bottom of my chart and at the top has squares to my North Node and Chiron. Throw in an opposition to Mars and voila!, challenged Moon. {{smiles and reminds self to love my moon anyway}}

Transiting Pluto spent many years opposing my Moon and during that time the dissolution of female relationships was absolute, in regards to friends and family, less my daughters. My relationship with my daughters strengthened and evolved into a deep friendship and something far more beautiful and fulfilling than I could have imagined I would have with them at their current ages of 22 and 18. Friendship, true and real friendship is what we have now and that means everything to me for if there is no friendship in any form of a relationship than there is no relationship, period. I honestly believe that. I do not feel that blood relationships hold us together, at least it has not been true for me, friendship does. Yet, the relationship with my daughters while transformed was done so under duress.

In 2005 I had my Jupiter return, transiting Pluto conjuncted my natal Mars triggering my natal Mars-Pluto square and Saturn finished his transit through my 1st house and ended with a conjunction to my Leo Venus triggering my natal Venus-Saturn square. Divorce, followed by a financial collapse, was the result for me. By the end of 2006, my material net worth was packable, literally luggage tote-able{{laughs}}, attire and a few keepsakes plus my faithful little dog. That’s it. Everything else was gone. Home, auto’s, furnishings, bank accounts…gone in the blink of an eye it seemed. I have come to accept that this was the result of my dragging my tail on bringing to closure many situations when I should have instead of attempting to be the “good girl” and my previously warped perception of whom I thought I needed to be to be ‘spiritual’ undoubtedly contributed to my sluggishness in making willing changes too.

Sometimes I start to fall back on the old crutch of,  “Hey, I was presented with a whole plate of Shit when I entered this life” and then I check it quickly, for it is no excuse for my not attending to what was in my power to attend to and crutches like that one just catapult you right back into victim-hood. That is never a productive place to be and I very sincerely believe that these times are we are in will no longer allow for that state of consciousness. We now must take full accountability for our actions and non-actions, that is the only way through this pass, the best that I can see. No more pointing fingers and hiding behind shadows, at least not for me it would seem, for those shadows have been outed for me non-stop and I have to own them, there just is no other option even though I cannot logically explain why that is to someone that doesn’t already get it, you know?

My Children and Their “Rabbit-Rabbit Days”: The Choosing of Destiny over Fate?

Some time ago I wrote a little piece about an experience I had with my daughters when they were young concerning their observance of their sacred “Rabbit-Rabbit Days“.

I suppose I wanted to share this story today, as we are quickly approaching a period that may necessitate our needing to make choices quickly from that which is presented to us by the Cardinal Transits of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Pluto, and I feel this story may hold relevance for those that are seeking to roll with the coming changes with as much grace and ease as is possible.

At one end of the scale we have those that feel the coming changes are completely beyond our control while on the other end are those that feel all is self-created and within full control of each individual.

I would like to think most of us are balanced fairly well between the extremes.

While I do agree that certain situations and developments do occur in this life that are beyond our control I maintain nonetheless that our actions in regards to said situations/developments are always within our control.

I embrace Astrology from this same standpoint and feel that while we are subjected to certain parameters at certain times, it is entirely up to the individual as to the manner in which one relates to energies at hand and how one chooses to act, or not to act, upon said energies that determines the outcome.

For me, this is the difference between fate and destiny.

I shared this Rabbit-Rabbit Days story previously in forums and many seemed to have enjoyed it, so dusting it off and sharing here today, take what you will from it and discard whatever doesn’t appeal to you personally!

Blessings. Kachina

~Rabbit Rabbit Days~

When my daughter’s were young they had a monthly tradition and Rabbit-Rabbit Day is what they termed it. The first day of every month and immediately upon awaking they were to speak aloud “Rabbit Rabbit!”.  No other words could precede this sacred chant for if one were to utter any other words first it would certainly mean a month of doom and no good things could possibly occur in one’s life until the next Rabbit-Rabbit Day was properly honored.

Conscious Intention and Manifestation: New Moon Pisces and Vernal Equinox>Thoughts on Using these Events Effectively

For those that work with manifestation through conscious intention this is a very important week.

We have the New Moon in Pisces on 3/15/10 which is the “New Moon before Birth”, as it is the last New Moon before the Sun’s ingress of Aries/Spring Equinox, therefore lends special significance especially in a year of so many shifts in energies.

The Vernal/Spring Equinox occurs with the Sun’s ingress of Aries on 3/20/10 and with the tremendous Cardinal Energies this year I feel the intentions set upon Equinox shall set the stage in a huge way for what we have forthcoming with the Cardinal T-Squares and Crosses.

Due to each subsequent event building upon the last I am sharing a few quick insights for those, that while accustomed to working with energy and conscious intention, are now finding themselves frustrated and feeling as if they have lost their manifestation mo-jo.

The energies we are now within are significantly different than what we were accustomed to in the past.

There have been numerous large shifts and this will continue to occur with a greater magnitude and strengthen for some time.

Maybe what I have to share will joggle something for you. 🙂

For Those Navigating Challenging Circumstances> Insights and Tips for Your Consideration

Transitional times can be wearying even for those that are well accustomed to transformation through challenge.

As we approach the forthcoming Cardinal Squares and Crosses of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Pluto, it is of great importance that we seek to hold our balance and attend our situations as they arise, keeping our lives as streamlined and simple as is possible.

When in periods of change, especially when there is such a large amount of outer planet involvement, much can feel as if it is spinning out of control and this can lead to feelings of despair, anger, resentment and loss of faith and belief.

While transformation due to challenging circumstances is seldom pain free we needn’t go through unnecessary struggle. By practicing conscious awareness and making choices based upon our well-being we can effectively prevent the arising of situations that will only serve to hinder our progression and growth.

For those that are struggling during these times I offer these insights and tips on what has sustained and assisted me through the more difficult periods.

Further Exploration of Negative Energy Imprints and How They Thwart Our Success

In a previous post:  The Concepts of Energy Working, Transmutation and Release Work of Negative Imprints and… I introduced how negative messages/energy imprints can function as blockages preventing us from achieving our full potential and success in life.

This is the second installment in a series of articles that I am sharing to assist those that have difficulty taking leaps of faith and accepting opportunities in a timely fashion that could lead them on a path to fulfilling their desires of personal success.

Astrologically we are approaching a time of very dynamic energies that shall offer productive opportunities for those that have the courage to utilize these energies and opportunities in a timely fashion.

These forthcoming transits are of special interest to those with planets/angles in the late mutable and early cardinal signs for they have been intensely impacted by the Saturn square Pluto transit and much of their personal world has been deconstructed in preparation for new growth, expression and function to come forth.

If you have been doing self-work in the area’s related to self-esteem, trust and/or change and have yet to achieve your desired results then what I am presenting here may be what you need to shine some light on issues that you may have not yet seen as possibilities as to why you find it difficult to accept changes with ease.

This article expands upon negative imprints that were received via messages in childhood that can hamper our achieving success in our adult years.
