"We did not change as we grew older; we just became more clearly ourselves."—Lynn Hall
Uranus represents those disruptions, sudden events that launch a new beginning, and with it our inner and outer landscapes are altered. 2011 is the moving year for two of the transpersonal planets. Transpersonal refers to the fact that it tends to be outside of our experience and/or out of our control. Dormant energy is awakened. Moving house is stressful. There is de-cluttering, discarding and packing we need to do. We need to clean the place we are leaving. It is difficult to concentrate on our ordinary obligations when the space we are leaving is being pulled apart and we have to decide what we want to pack and what needs to be tossed out. We come across items that bring up memories and potentially find things we thought we'd lost forever. Settling into the new takes time, having moved a year ago for a first time in almost two decades, I think it takes a year...
Time line of Preview: May 27-August 13, 2010
Time line for Main Event: March 11, 2011 - May 15, 2018
Timeline for Review: November 6, 2018 to March 6, 2019
Previous occurrence: March 31, 1927 - November 4, 1927 (preview), January 13, 1928-June 6, 1934 (main event) and October 10, 1934-March 28, 1935 (review)
In November 1928 there was an eruption of Mount Etna, Sicily, which led to lava largely destroying the town of Mascali, situated low on the eastern flank of the volcano. Destruction of the town took just over a day but there was an orderly evacuation of its inhabitants and, with help from the military, families were able to remove furniture and fittings from their houses. Evacuees were relocated to nearby towns staying with relatives, friends or in hired apartments. Rebuilding Mascali provided an opportunity for the fascist government of the time to demonstrate efficient centralised planning. A completely new town was built on a grid-iron plan with many of the buildings reflecting the 'fascist architecture' of the time. The town was complete by 1937 and housing conditions were very advanced in comparison with other towns in the region. The 1928 eruption is important as it was the most destructive on Etna since 1669 when the city of Catania was overwhelmed. In terms of hazard and risk assessment the 1928 eruption demonstrates that lava can reach the lower flanks of the volcano within a short period after the onset of an eruption.
Uranus has been in Pisces since 2003 and seven year is a long time for something to be 'shaken' up. This energy gets us out of a rut and brings unpredictable events into our lives. While Uranus has been in Pisces we have seen all kinds of breakthroughs in medicine—new ways of healing the body. We have seen water related natural catastrophes, such as tsunamis. Just before the preview in 2010 (see dates), ash was billowing out of the volcano in Iceland— Eyjafjallajokull— for several weeks, disrupting flights into and out of Europe. This Ash, fire, volcano are more of Aries words than ones that resonate with Pisces. What is interesting, however, if the fact that the unpronounceable word— Eyjafjallajokull—refers to a glacier, under which the volcanic activity is taking place. The activity is under ice, which definitely is associated with water, it is trying to get to the surface... seems to say that a change is coming.
The reason I chose to talk about this event and link it to Uranus is because it reflects the nature of the planet. In 2003 I used an image of a prophet with a horn being struck by lightning. For Uranus in Aries fire has to be present, and a volcano rumbles and makes promises about exploding for years, decades ahead of the event. We know something is about to happen, we just don't know exactly what the impact will be. In 2003 I used an image of a prophet with a horn being struck by lightning.

Uranus is one of the outer planets—one of the big boys—and associated with the sky and lightning. Outer planets in transit are not something we integrate into our lives, often the events that could be associated from an astrological perspective, take place outside of our experience. The second thing to remember is that Uranus tends to be unpredictable. We might not be able to speculate what, but can typically figure out the area of life.
During the preview time we get hints about what the seven years holds for us. Those of us born with the Sun or another personal planet in Aries are likely to notice this the most. If you were to talk to a Pisces person about the last seven years, they would have a few big stories to tell. Typically the story begins with completely unexpected, out of the blue, decided to break free, quit my job and moved to the other side of the world. There is shock value to our Uranus-related stories.
This year and over the next seven we have other planetary configurations in play, which were not part of the equation eight decades ago. Saturn and Uranus are finishing their confrontational dance in 2010. Uranus and Pluto have conflicting goals for five years beginning in 2012 and lasting until 2017. The cycle of Uranus is 84 years. It is one of the energies involved in our midlife crises around age 40-42. Pluto is now firmly lodged in Capricorn, slowly creating a process of change in the global economy, structures and foundations—both literal and virtual—which are no longer viable. One of the key concepts for Pluto is culling, eliminating the weak. Jupiter is also in Aries part of this year and next, thus a cardinal cross is formed by the planets. I wrote about the financial markets last year in my blog, stating that I didn't see sustainable recovery until 2011—economists are beginning to state the same thing. I think in their forecasts they avoid prognosis that is too negative.
This year and next there is a lot of cardinal activity. The word cardinal means important, pivotal and in terms of astrology, action. Uranus has been associated with divorce since about the mid-seventies, when divorce became rather commonplace. Many sources state that Uranus transits through the seventh house mean divorce—that would mean that one 12th of us, statistically speaking, would opt to end our marriage. That simply goes against common sense. We just might meet people who are able to break us out of routine relationships, open our eyes and ears to something beyond the mundane humdrum existence. Uranus represents unique, unpredictable and out of the blue energy—we can apply the energy by doing something unique to us. Uranus equals Eureka; it is about those aha moments in life.
When watching the news you are likely to notice the many news about natural disasters, landslides, tornadoes, floods, hurricanes—all kinds of phenomena that change the landscape. Uranus represents those disruptions, sudden events that launch a new beginning and our inner and outer landscapes are altered, and our inner courage is put to a test.

On a practical level Jupiter governs the way things work, including processes in the physical body. Jupiter is the Santa Claus of the planets. In the birth chart it focuses on our hopes and dreams. It indicates those areas of our lives in which we express optimism, expansiveness, generosity, and success. It also relates to popularity, sometimes indicating overconfidence or extravagance. It shows us how to develop an idealistic or philosophical attitude and where to be impractical, excessive, or ostentatious.The report with a known birth time was copy edited by www.we-edit.ca and revised by Anne Massey.
