and making important aspects to other planets. It will trine Uranus moving back to 29* Taurus, almost trine Pluto moving backwards to 1* Aquarius, ( a hair away from 29* Capricorn), which enhances the theme for us as receiving a powerful awareness of our work, projects, health and productivity. It could be an exciting moment for many to reach a culmination of what felt like a long cycle of diligent work on any issue, and now it is finally at a point of realization. A breakthrough. The opposition from 29* Pisces creates a partial need for surrendering to a situation, which can not be avoided.

Uranus’ cycle in Taurus
2011 – 2026
Uranus is known for upgrading society themes and trends. It is the planet of Alchemy and rules Aquarius. As it moved into Taurus, an acceleration of all Taurean themes started. Engineering, Science and Physics, all things related to material progress, but mostly, economy, finance, income and business trends rapidly changed, and especially the subject of currency, gold silver and other metals. During key transits of Uranus through Taurus, there has been an increase of movement towards gold backed currencies and other forms of exchange such as blockchain, crypto along with a rapid transformation of how people earn their living. This all began in 2008 up through 2011 on to present. When Uranus leaves Taurus at the end of 2026, the basic new Aquarian future models will have been laid, and Uranus moving into Gemini will then shift the focus upon rapid transfer of products, 3D Printing in homes upon ordering blueprints, rapid exchange of moneys, and sped up forms of interchange of data.

Pluto in Capricorn
Have we all been Gaslighted by Pluto in Capricorn…
The ultimate sociopathic cycle, which attempts to diminish your internal power? What does Capricorn represent? Think of Government, think of CEO, think corporations, and the ones in charge –Think of the two signs which naturally radiate Authority – Leo and Capricorn. Leo senses the innate entitlement of their position, their right to rule, where Capricorn has worked hard to get where they are and are more interested in being in control at the top. Imagine, we all have a Capricorn quality somewhere in our charts, even if you are not a Capricorn.

Saturn in Pisces
Saturn in Pisces, and how it is impacting your own world, and globally ...
The new theme for our lessons in life, developing greater abilities, changed from Aquarius to Pisces, 2023. It will last up through 2025.
This Saturn is bringing up unresolved feelings, thoughts, emotions and psychological patterns within us, which have to do with ancient records, past challenges and programming. Personally and globally, our new push will be to re-program and clear negative fears, self limitations, accepting and enabling dysfunctional leaders and people in power in all walks of life, and live through a time where what is paraded in front of us could be sheer illusion.
WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!
