Commuters on a Train — Cyril Power[/caption] I grew up in a country where it was unusual, on public transport, to see people reading anything other than a smudged newspaper. I moved to London, where inside the bright-lit tube trains, a colourful collage of hundreds of paper covers made a journey gayer and more interesting. Tired people would bury their minds between the paper covers of novels and magazines. Who was reading Harry Potter? Or Tolstoi? Or The New Scientist? Today, when you ride a train or a bus or a plane, everyone escapes through the magic windows of their […]

Uranus stations direct at 28 deg Aries
Uranus direct continues the forward momentum that Mars into Aries and the January 5th New Moon eclipse started.
Uranus exited Aries for Taurus on May 15th, 2018 but then (due to its retrograde) re-entered Aries on November 6th, 2018. Since November, you may have experienced more shocks or shake -ups as any remaining areas of your life that needed to be liberated were given a kick.
Now you’re moving forward, as the last vestiges of the past have been burnt away. Watch for progress in an area requiring courage, initiative or brand new beginnings (perhaps dating all the way back to May 27th, 2010, when Uranus first entered Aries).
There will be a sense of urgency as Uranus powers through the last degrees of Aries, making its final exit on March 6th, 2019. In some cases, what began around May 2010 could end (this would only happen if the situation was meant to be your catalyst for change and nothing more). If something is leaving, you can’t stop it. If you feel increasing detachment from your current situation, this is timely. If your past is rapidly diminishing in the rearview mirror, this too is timely.
As you look back to 2010, consider how far you’ve come. What have you freed yourself from and where has your courage taken you?

Uranus has been retrograde for pretty well the last six months. While Uranus was retrograde all of that bubbling, electrical energy that Uranus brings was happening within you instead of to you. Eventually it has to explode. Suddenly you see exactly what you need to see. There’s nothing subtle about Uranus. He has neither the time nor the energy …

Mercury in Sagittarius trine Uranus Rx in Aries (28 deg)
Venus in Scorpio trine the Cancer North Node (26 deg)
Sun in Capricorn sextile Neptune in Pisces (14 deg)
Mercury/Uranus
Mercury’s freedom-inducing trine to Uranus is a final burst before it enters restrictive Capricorn later today. Uranus amplifies Mercury in Sag’s view of possibilities (and bluntness) by adding innovation and a touch of controversy. Excellent for leaps of logic and radical honesty, which you can then focus once Mercury enters Capricorn.
Uranus is Rx – are you returning to a past issue of liberation or creativity? Does something need to be expressed? Perhaps now is the time to put it into words.
Note that this trine can help you look beyond yesterday’s hurtful Mercury/Chiron square – no matter what went down, there are always new and better options ahead.
Venus/North Node
Venus in Scorpio trine the North Node is part of an ongoing Grand Water Trine that I discussed in this week’s horoscopes:
“January 1st to 5th features yet another Grand Water Trine involving Chiron in Pisces and the Cancer North Node. It was activated from November 6th to 8th (by Jupiter in Scorpio) and on November 20th (by the Sun in Scorpio). Now Venus in Scorpio reactivates the potential to address weaknesses and vulnerabilities (Chiron) while moving forward into new emotional territory (North Node). Venus is about relationships, values, finances and self-esteem, so these areas can flow nicely. The North Node will be key – step into a new area that demands emotional honesty and vulnerability.”
Venus in Scorpio is about the deepest possible commitment to what you want or who you love (including yourself). This will involve an uncomfortable amount of honesty, but the rewards will include forward movement (North Node) to a place where your needs are honoured. This is about tuning into what you want and need, and the flow of the trine ensures that this will happen naturally. Meaning, if it doesn’t feel right and move forward without effort, it’s not meant to be.
Sun/Neptune
This influence will be fairly quiet – Neptune will whisper that there are other possibilities beyond current rules and status. Sun in Capricorn can (if you’re aware – this influence will be easy to ignore) gently add warmth to a dream or a belief and allow you to make it real. Nothing dramatic mind you (sorry, no lottery wins).
Overall, I’d say this is a day for being honest with yourself, on an intellectual and emotional level. The trines will make it easy – all you have to do is go with it.

Waxing Inconjunct between the Taurus Moon and Sagittarius Sun (28 deg)
Sagittarius Sun trine Uranus Rx in Aries (28 deg)
The Waxing Inconjunct can bring up some frustrating blocks to forward momentum. Money, security or the need to take stock of an existing situation will be incompatible with an ideal, hope or area of expansion. And yet both must be integrated – you’re still moving towards something new (or broadening your reach) while stabilizing what you already have. Perhaps your foundation needs attention; this will enable you to move forward from a place of greater assurance.
Fortunately, the Sun’s trine to Uranus can help as you’re encouraged to keep putting energy into that new/innovative/liberating development. While this is not entirely new (Uranus was previously at this sign and deg around April 2018) it’s still a bit of a risk – there’s excitement and trepidation. Trust that you can work with this, even as you briefly slow down today in order to secure material resources or establish your values (there could be some core issues that need to be reaffirmed before you move on).
