Uranus Transits And Anxiety, Difficult Transits – A Fix

August 9th, 2018: Confusion and More Relationship Tension

- Mercury Rx in Leo square Juno in Taurus: 16 deg

- Venus in Libra inconjunct Uranus Rx in Taurus: 2 deg

Mercury
Aspects to Mercury continue yesterday’s influences involving the Sun and Pallas, but Mercury suggests specific details or a messenger. Mercury Rx/Pallas combines intellect and communication with a strategy or pattern, enabling you to put it into words (albeit words that are being reviewed). However, Mercury Rx/Juno is about revisiting the details of a relationship disagreement, and Mercury Rx/Neptune Rx can be about revisiting a specific fact that’s false or confusing. So putting it into words will only be the first step – you’ll have to navigate other difficulties.
If Mercury manifests as the messenger, watch for a person who triggers the above. In all cases, you’re being asked to look more closely at the details, or ask questions (about the agreement or strategy).
Note that Pallas and Juno will make an exact square on August 11th, so conflict around relationship strategies will continue until then.
Venus
Venus/Uranus hi-lights the disconnect between necessary change versus the desire for harmony. There can be an avoidance of what needs to change (or be set free) or an abrupt development that triggers an extreme imbalance. Venus rules Taurus and Libra, but these signs make an inconjunct with each other- Libra is about relating and Taurus is about self-preservation. These issues will collide, and the trick is to honour both sides.
The square to Saturn will not make that easy, but at the same time, Saturn will cut out all the non-essentials. You will probably run into a hard limit around what you want, especially regarding a relationship or what you’re trying to attract. So you won’t get distracted, because certain things will simply not be available to you. Focus on what’s left.
Along with Uranus, this can feel upsetting as you’re confronted with change while being restricted. You may feel cornered or rejected. Accept the limits and the change, then do your best to find the balance within that situation. Or, you can say “F**k it” and refuse to play ball. But it’s always helpful to try and work with the energy of the sign that’s being activated.
And now you see why Venus in Libra is not an easy energy to master. I’m not talking about being a doormat or glossing over all the problems. The real task here is to honestly find the balance between you and them. Honour yourself and the other, in whatever situation unfolds. Respect your wants while playing by Saturn’s rules and getting with Uranus’ program.
Impossible? Nope. Libra is being activated because balance is possible. But it won’t be easy.
August 1st, 2018: Mars Square Uranus and Vesta Direct

- Mars Rx in Aquarius square Uranus in Taurus (2 deg)
- Vesta direct in Sagittarius (22 deg)
Mars makes the second of three squares to Uranus. The disruption or break for freedom is not over. Despite the flash-bang quality of this energy, this is an extended influence. It’s about detaching from the past, but that detachment may require more than the usual amount of effort.
Mars Rx specifically means try again or review your actions. What are your true motivations and where are you going? If you’re refusing to change, this Rx could be the harder shake – the jolt that you’ve been trying to avoid. Or, it could be the second chance that you’ve been waiting for.
As I wrote in this post:
“The abrupt shove will introduce Uranus’ seven years of change in Taurus…Mars Rx in Aquarius intensifies specific actions so the move towards independence can happen (sometimes it takes extra effort to break away from the past). Or, Mars Rx can delay actions/progress if the impulse is poorly timed.”
Here are the three squares:
- May 16th: Mars square Uranus (0 deg Taurus)
- August 1st: Mars Rx square Uranus (2 deg Taurus)
- September 18th: Mars square Uranus Rx (1 deg Taurus)
Vesta direct can widen Vesta Rx’s tunnel vision. If you’ve been fixated on a truth, ideal or hope since Vesta stationed Rx (May 8th, 2018) her direct motion suggests you may be ready to look further. What has Vesta Rx taught you? Has your faith been renewed or are you now disappointed? Either way, it’s time to move on because Sagittarius’ horizons are always widening. Keep searching for new truths, new ideals. Expanding faith will feed Vesta’s flame.
With direct and Rx emphasized on the same day, you may feel the tension between looking forward but dealing with delays/reviews. Everything does not always move in the same direction. You can deal with this by looking ahead where it feels natural to do so, and accepting that the wheels are spinning in another part of your life. Know that in a few weeks (once Mars stations direct) there will be progress here too.

July 25th, 2018: Maverick
- Leo Sun squares Uranus in Taurus (2 deg)
- Leo Sun trines Chiron Rx in Aries (2 deg)
There are a few ways to interpret the above combo. The shock (Uranus) leads to a healing confrontation (Chiron). The sudden drama allows you to process what hurts. The courage to stand out in a truly weird way is part of your healing process.
Uranus square anything in Leo is the abrupt display – it will be public and will garner a ton of attention. Why that happens will depend on the reason for the surprise. What needs to be made public? Is there a lack of pride or appreciation? Leo also means “dignity” but sometimes this can be lost in the lust for confirmation from others. The audience is always a crucial factor with Leo.
In general, I would say this one feels like something that has to come out, although the method will be a bit risky. When dealing with a square from Uranus, check your first impulse. It’s a sign that you need to change something, but chances are your first instinct about how to do that is not the best. Sun square Uranus is the maverick, and when Leo is involved, it’s the maverick who thumbs his/her nose at the public in a very obvious and shocking way. But the end goal is still to get attention.
And that end goal will also involve the courage (Aries and Leo) to go public (Leo) with the wound (Chiron). There’s your healthy focus – how can coming out with it help you confront your demons?
The Ashmolean Synchronicity
So the Ashmolean Museum, the oldest in this country, tweeted that it was 335 today — because it’s really old and really up-to-date at the same time! I couldn’t help but get the chart up, assuming that a sunrise chart for the day would do — and lo, dear readers, there was a piece of utmost astrological synchronicity. I did a double-take. Uranus, on May 24, 1683, was at 0° Taurus — just as it is today in 2018. This seems quite fitting for a museum, which is about artefacts that explore and explain ideas, a perfect example of Uranian […]
