Uranus In Aries: Jetpacks Will Be Huge + The Virgoan Daredevil

birdman_2

I reckon Uranus in Aries – from the middle of 2010! – is going to render jet pack tres trendy. People will be fanging about all the place.

I LOVE Yves Rossy – his nickname is “fusionman” – the dude who has just failed to fly from North Africa to Europe…He’s a multiple conjunct Virgo and has just turned 50….

He’s got the tight Sun-Pluto conjunction just like Lance Armstrong. These peeps run off some primordial, no, CHTHONIC energy source. Rossy has Sun-Pluto-Venus-Mars in Virgo and Mercury conjunct Uranus in Leo…Saturn in Capricorn trines his Virgo stuff.  So right now he’s got Mars all over his Uranus (he’s gonna break even more records) and Pluto on his Saturn. So what few inhibitions or fears he HAD are being helpfully pulverised by Pluto.

The full  article is here…but here is a bit…oh and a Virgo is a VIRGO – he insists on making his own jetpacks and wings from scratch as he does not trust anyone else to get it right.

“Shaken violently by the turbulence, Rossy dropped to try to regain control, but suddenly lost his bearings inside large grey clouds.

“My only instruments are my feelings and sight and without them I am lost,” he said.

“No more fun”

Rocketing seawards at 300km/h, Rossy realised “it was no more fun”, ditched his wing and pulled his parachute 850m above the sea.

“I’ve had many situations like that in the free air but not in clouds. Ninety per cent of the time I can regain control, but in those clouds it was over,” he added.

As his team and camera crews peered into the gloom anxiously, a rescue party of three helicopters, two planes and ships from the Spanish coastguard struggled for ten minutes to locate Rossy.

A homing beacon on his Breitling watch and bright parachute helped indicate his precise location in the chilly waters.

He was then taken to a hospital in nearby Jerez de La Frontera for a precautionary check-up but returned to Atlanterra unhurt and in “good spirits”"

    that episode of Gilligan’s Island where Gilligan had his jet pack on was not far from reality after all!

    I just had to look up chthonic. So do you mean with the underworld energy they can be daredevils without dying? A nine lives scenario?

    gotta love a return of the age of invention. I have often fantasized about owning a jet pack, -usually in traffic jams. Maybe running on something other than petrol though since we are fast running out of oil…

    Be funny if he crashed into underaged circumnavigator, Jessica Watson’s yacht. I wonder if the navy gets sick of pulling whackjobs out of the sea.

    But bring on Uranus direct and Uranus into Aries as I’ve had seven years of it opposing my six Virgo points. (Then again it’s about to pass over my Piscean chiron) All I can say is that Uranus opps wring every bit of control freakery out of you. No matter how much foresight, Saturnine slog and organization etc was employed, nothing I’ve undertaken in that time ended up as planned…

    the two significant other virgoans in my life (7yrs and 40yrs) are obsessed with these jetpack things – well, the 7 yr old is dedicated, the 40yr old egged him on tho! – 7yr old still talks of the day he arrives at school by . . . and his latest design for such a thing

    At first you would think this is the territory of some mad Aries BUT it makes sense for Virgo.
    No checking in.
    You get to perform maintenance yourself on your equipment.
    Every control-freaking detail is within your grasp.
    You just stand outside your house, turn the thing on and whoosh.
    No baggage!!!!!

      Yes, perfectionism makes us lone wolves at times. I sense a strong Uranian influence in this guy as well. He’s got a freaking Breitling watch with a homing beacon in it! Wouldn’t be suprised if he’s Aqua rising and I wonder about asteroid Icarus.
