The Thoth Deck – The Magus/The Magician

Uranus is the Magician & the Trickster – the ‘higher Octave’ of Mercury & is more akin to the mythological Prometheus than his actual legendary namesake.

Uranus transits are amazing – super-synchronicity & a sped up pace of life with major inspiration & individuation. Hard on the status quo though. That’s why this year’s Saturn-Uranus opposition is so damned cathartic. We all get to take care of the deets like adults (Saturn) and balance it out with being utterly our true selves/own drum-beat etc.

The first Uranus Square happens at age 21-ish, ,when Uranus squares it’s natal position & challenges people to be whom they truly are. It’s a big time for moving beyond the peer group of our teens, coming out of closets and taking up a vocation. Often someone comes into our life at the age of 21 who is  like a Uranian mentor or muse figure – a totally individuated & iconoclasic character who models what’s possible. Think about it and see. An innate talent or ‘bent’ also often surfaces at this point.

Then there is the famous Uranus Opposition in one’s early 40’s. The classic Who Am I Really? crisis that sends many a comfortable but stagnant relationship into a death-spiral & spins out even the most staid. It’s youthifying & invigorating – I always say that it is not really a Uranus transit if nobody is tut-tutting. But it works best if you have already made your peace with Saturn.  ie; you pay your bills, your dues and you have some kind of grounding & life skills. Then there is another Uranus square and the Uranus Return at age 84. When you can REALLY let rip if you want to.

Uranus is – of course – doing loads of other things, depending on your unique chart. Right now, as some of you know, I have Uranus on my Venus & hence attract a flow of fascinating, charismatic and handsome but erratic Aquarian men; The Uranian, the Aqua-Barrister, The Leo Rising Aqua Rugger Stud. Totally illuminating and liberating in that one can’t even BEGIN to think about a “normal” relationship with such men or under a Uranus-Venus transit. It’s such a cool but weird transit that I have a club.

Uranus-Moon transits seem to send people merrily bats. This is the ultimate in “Oh, yah she sold up everything and is in Mongolia marrying her cousin whose just left the priesthood…” The W.T.F. transit. Definitely excellent for art, music & authentic living. V.oft linked with sudden switchings of sexuality as well. Uranus-Mars is like being tapped into an outer-space form of energy. It has to be chanelled or else you just go crazy with twitchings, clumsiness and temper.

Uranus-Sun is the only one i can really “predict” without seeing your chart. If you are born at 22 to 30 degrees of Pisces (March 14 to the end of Pisces) then Uranus is upon you! Individuate or go spectacularly bats. Same goes for Virgoans born September 16 and on, Geminis from June 14 onward and Saggos from Dec 15.  Of course Saturn is the complicating influence here. You have to create a strong foundation for your innovative new paradigm.

Uranus Ascendent is the sudden and awesome makeover & Uranus-Descendent is when someone just strolls into  your life and WHAM you’re instantaneously in love in an old-school, can’t sleep sort of a way. Uranus-Midheaven – sudden change in job/career/public image. A television show at short notice…Uranian astro-passages can wreak havoc on your nerves and you will definitely want to keep odd hours, reverse or alter the routine. THAT is normal for you when you are having a Uranus transit.

BTW, it is pronounced Ur-AHH-Nus. Not like anus.

Carla Bruni’s Saturn-Uranus Opposition

Carla Bruni’s Pluto transit (still on until the end of this year) saw a pretty amazing transformation. Appropriate, for the planet of transformation smack bang on her Capricorn Sun at Zero degrees.

Now she’s got Uranus approaching her Midheaven (public image) opposing her natal Uranus and squaring her Mercury at 28 degrees Saggo. Pluto going over that a few years ago would have deepened her consciousness for sure and now Uranus comes along to edge her into being a positive iconoclast. So she’s already got Mercury in mouthy Sagg and Uranus squaring it + opposing it for the next 18 months should see more such episodes as her mouthing off at the Pope. It is especially resonant as she was (a) born & raised Catholic & (b) is a woman in such a powerful position or at least with massive media cut-through speaking  out.

Also, note that the Saturn-Uranus opposition – next hit in September – will be right across her IC-MC axis; Saturnine conservative force at home vs Uranian forces in her career/wanting to use visibility to effect societal change and they both square her Mercury. It’s called a T-square and they rarely pass un-noticed nor fail to create a fuss. Hard choices though.

“I find that the controversy coming from the Pope’s message – albeit distorted by the media – is very damaging…In Africa it’s often Church people who look after sick people. It’s astonishing to see the difference between the theory and the reality. I think the Church should evolve on this issue. It presents the condom as a contraceptive which, incidentally, it forbids, although it is the only existing protection,” she told Femme Actuelle, the women’s magazine.

The comments will cause Mr Sarkozy embarrassment in a country where, despite the separation of Church and State, a majority of the population was born Catholic André Roux, a constitutional historian said: “It’s unprecedented for a first lady to criticise the Pope….”

Astro-Beauty: Nostalgia Kick

Question: What beauty regimes, skincare, hair, look, perfume, make-up, philosophy and/or role models were you mad about at the age of 14? I have picked 14 because it’s the time of the first big Uranian kick in the chart; the Uranus sextile. Uranus comes along and sextiles its  natal position, helping to evoke a surge of individuation. Then there is the Uranus square at 21 and the notorious Uranus opposition at 42 & the Uranus Return at 84. Anyway, a hit of beauty nostalgia is most appropriate for the Venus Retrograde…Thinking about you aged 14 & the nostalgie a la beaute is probably a good trigger to useful insights re how you individuate as well….Especially as Mars RIGHT NOW belts toward Uranus…strident emancipation. A tres teen vibe.
