The whole thing is just wigging me out. Dear god, I DON'T WANT IT IN MY SIXTH HOUSE.
Okay, so technically that's not happening until 2011, but still. I'd rather it skip ahead to my seventh, because I actually look forward to that transit crazy. Hey, since odds are I won't have any change in my non-dating status until then, it can't be bad for me or end my marriage or anything, so what the hell.
Transiting Uranus in Aries wants you to throw the shackles off this
part of your life and choose freedom. Something in that part of life is
making you feel a little bogged down, a little dragged down. Something
in that corner of your world isn’t flowing and feels stale. It’s time to
make a change, the planet says. Time to shake things up and move ahead
with some new things. Uranus is famous for sudden flashes of insight.
The message here is about allowing your instinctive wisdom to act
(Aries) on new information that could set you free (Uranus).
Jupiter on Uranus’ heels brings the element of risk to all of this.
Jupiter wants you to leap into some rad new beginning, especially when
it hits Aries (still in Pisces at the moment). Jupiter doesn’t want to
hear anything but YES, I WILL LEAP IN THIS RAD NEW DIRECTION. Add that
to Uranus stirring things up and you’ve got the potential for a potent
cocktail to make changes to things very quickly and for good.
Jupiter coming in will soon ask us if we will choose to have faith
(Jupiter) in our instincts (Aries). We will already have had the sudden
flashes of insights about new avenues and activities with Uranus in
Aries. Jupiter wants to know if we will have faith enough in ourselves
to do something meaningful about what we have seen, to leap into new
ways of being.
And also:
Uranus in one’s job sector often correlates with a lot more job movement
in all kinds of ways. Sometimes your own job will remain stable, but
your co-workers will come and go, or there’ll be a lot of turnover at
your workplace. Often you’ll switch jobs, or the workplace will become a
lot more busy, or your work will involve a lot more running around.
Uranus in Aries will generally set a goal of improving your work and
work environment but will often engage in a lot of experimentation
before settling on the right situation, and he may get all
entrepreneurial, part-timey, or free-lance happy in the process. You may
also have to learn a lot of new techniques to keep up with Uranus’s
upgrade plans. In general, it is wise to figure out what you really want
from a job and set out to get it, because Uranus is going to try to go
after it anyway. You might as well be a willing and conscious
participant in the process.
Hearing that I will want to BREAK FREEEEEEEEEEEEE of my job and suddenly start my own business because I can't stand The Man any more is making me grit my teeth like hell. For one thing uh, yeah, been sort of annoyed at that way back when Uranus was in Pisces, so that's not fresh and new information. But since I don't have any effing idea what else to do, breaking freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee is not gonna happen, thanks, because I like the freeeeeeeeeeeeeedom that comes with being able to buy groceries when I need 'em. Freedom and work do not mix, in my view. I have zero interest in being an entrepreneur and I've tried enough times over the years to know that I don't like it. What I WANT is something where I get stable pay/employment while doing various projects...oh, wait, that doesn't exist.
I can't say that I have any more goddamned insight as to What To Do Differently than I have in the last three years since I started severely angsting on the topic. Sorry, no lightning bolts of job inspiration yet.
So, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. No leaping without any idea of what direction to even leap in, please.
On second thought..my bad, apparently there's a buttload of retrogrades between now and then, so it won't actually hit my sixth cusp until my birthday in 2013...that year'll be a real lulu, but I figured that anyway. But yeah, THREE YEARS MORE OF STALLING WOOT!
I’m sure you’ve had one of those dreams where you discover you have a new wing in your house, or that a closet leads to a whole other building. These dreams seem to have one thing in common, which is how normal the discovery is, like the thing was always there, and how could you have missed it? That is the approximate feeling of your astrology this month: an inner dimension opening and welcoming you in, but one that was always there. You may be inclined to respond as if this is ‘not really happening’. You may doubt: how do you know if this discovery is really you, or the product of your imagination? (Clue, it is both at the same time.) You don’t have to ask questions. If you want to do something practical, step across the inner threshold and see for yourself. The feeling is the calling of any potential, talent or dream that has opened up for you lately. The inner space that’s opening up has different rules. You can, for example, say yes to yourself. You don’t have to define your reality with fear, or honor the limits that fear previously set. In fact you don’t need to believe anything that you previously believed, and furthermore, you can define who you are as a mystery rather than something, or someone, who you’re supposed to be able to predict. If you can get past how nervous this might make you, you’ll have a lot of fun.
You have often let your work define you. The time has arrived for you to define yourself and your work. Depending on who you are this will be one of the most creative phases of your life, or a phase where you feel so confined that you begin a revolution, so that you can do more of what you want. I would remind you that we live in a society that alternately signals us with ‘do what you love and you will prosper’ and, to the contrary, ‘why do you think they call it work?’ Even those who find themselves highly successful in a chosen field can find themselves confined by their schedule, their creative demands and by a routine. In recent years, something else has taken over, which is your willingness to take risks, and to enrich yourself creatively. Some of the experiments have worked, some have not, but one thing is clear: you are determined to express yourself. This, in turn, translates into determined to be free within your environment: but it translates to something deeper, which is standing uncompromisingly in your truth, and taking action only from there. You can do this; I propose that you’ll discover that the barriers and reasons you felt you could not do this were a kind of mirage. These, in turn, will reveal the deeper material that you can work out through your process of self-creation, which is creative process, which is your personal form of art: yours and yours alone.
