Uranus in Pisces:
The birth of a new age is upon us. In the 1960’s, we sang about the dawning
of the Age of Aquarius…and believed it. However, I feel the country was so
drug-induced and obsessed with anti-war demonstrations and care-free sex that we
were barely aware about what was really dawning at that time. During that era,
the United States chart received a hard square from Neptune to its Mid-heaven
and its Moon, certainly we did not see things with crystal clarity where our
goals and objectives were concerned. We simply were not ready to live as an
enlightened culture.
In the past few years, world events have caused our sense of awareness for
the people and world around us to come to the forefront of our thoughts. Most
profound of these events was the tragedy of 9/11. These events have shown us
that we are all one; we are connected rather than separate from each other.
The most recent of these events, the Lunar Eclipse on November 8, 2003, was and
still can be very influential if we open ourselves up to its power. The
configuration formed by the planets at the moment of the Eclipse was a “Star of
David,” this is also known as Harmonic Concordance. I feel that this could be the
beginning of our transition into the Age of Aquarius, that the Harmonic
Concordance can begin to awaken a sense of spirituality in this country that we
have
yet to experience. (For more information on Harmonic Concordance, please
visit: www.harmonicconcordance.com). Spirituality in our country is something that
has never been a priority to the majority, and when I speak of spirituality,
I do not mean organized religion. I define spirituality as a sense of who we
are as individuals living in balance with nature and God, whomever we perceive
God to be.
To bring another example to the table, back in 1989, we experienced the
Uranus/Neptune conjunction. I feel that the children born during this time, which
can range from a few years prior to the conjunction to a few years later, will
bring a sense of healing, spirituality and awareness to the planet. The
accompanying article; “Indigo Children: The Color of the Future,” will go into
greater depth about this phenomenon.
All things occur in cycles and in Astrology we look to the previous cycles to
indicate what may come to pass with the present cycle. The last time that
Uranus was in Pisces was from 1920 to 1927. It was the “Roaring Twenties.” In
1921, Einstein made his first visit to the United States and lectured several
times on relativity. Uranus rules relativity and in the sign of Pisces brought
it from our collective subconscious to our awareness.
The interesting thing about Uranus in Pisces during this transit is that
Uranus and Neptune are in what is called “Mutual Reception” to one another. They
are each in the sign that each other rules. Uranus is in Pisces, the sign that
Neptune rules, and Neptune is in Aquarius, the sign that Uranus rules. This
mutual reception is adding to the sense of Spirituality that can come to pass,
also this mutual reception is strengthening the connection and influence of
the two planetary bodies. So the transit of Uranus in Pisces at this time will
be interesting and unusual (unusual for Uranus, since Uranus also rules the
unusual as well as the unexpected).
Pisces is a water sign. It is emotional and it rules our subconscious and it
has ruler ship of the twelfth house in Astrology. Pisces also rules over
hospitals and institutions, as well as the medical profession. We could see
tremendous advances in the medical profession during this transit and even, perhaps,
an incorporation of a spiritual sense to the medical profession. Alternative
medicine and the Holistic healthcare provider could be the “doctor” of the
future. It was Thomas Edison who said, “The doctor of the future will prescribe
no medicine.” I believe this could hold true during this transit. This transit
can also represent an awakening of the subconscious!
All this can pave the way for the onset of the Age of Aquarius. We are most
certainly living in unusual times given all that has transpired over the last
few years. If we are to survive as an enlightened culture, we must truly “wake
up” to ourselves, discover who we are, and who we are in relation to each
other.
