WHAT IS GOING ON UP THERE IN THE COSMOS?
Uranus went retrograde on June 19, 2006. It is now moving slowly out of that position, and we’re in the “shadow” of it right now (the shadow period is two week before it turns, so from November 5 through November 19th, we are in “it”), and it turns direct on November 19, 2006, at 10 Pisces 48 minutes. What makes this one so impactful is we had, two days earlier, Mercury goes DIRECT on November 17, 2006! Phew! Further, Uranus is part of a greater Cosmic Play in the sky. This lightning bolt planet is going direct on a New Moon 28 Scorpio, on November 20th; so get your seat belts on, strap in--there a lot of NEW things going to take place and take off!

Talk about changes in NEW directions--that’s exactly what we will be in. And with URANUS trine the New Moon at 28 Scorpio, this is going to be a highly emotional, shocking, impactful time frame from for many, many people. Not only are Pisces/Virgo people at the Eye of this Hurricane, but so will Scorpio/Taurus people, as well. And this will be felt globally and affect everyone in large or small ways as a result of a crisis or series of crisis that is set into motion by these cosmic characters. And crisis does not mean anything ‘bad’ will happen. Rather, for example, if you have been working hard on a project you pitched early this year; perhaps summer time, then you’re going to hear about it for sure and it’s gonna be BIG! This is a huge moment where what you asked for and have planned and held the energy on is really going to come true--in spades. So, be prepared to suddenly be thrust into the limelight or a managerial or project manager sort of position--one that you’re probably not used to taking on--but you’ll be able to do it now. This is NOT the time to hesitate, either. If you get offered a job, a responsibility or something NEW--take it! You wouldn’t be offered the position unless the Cosmos thought you could do it.

WHO'S AFFECTED BY URANUS TURNING DIRECT?
If you’re a PISCES born between February 26 through the March 4th (with March 1st being the most affected) then you are going to feel the New effect of Uranus pulling direct. By opposite polarity, any VIRGO born between August 31st through September 6th, (with September 3rd the most affected), are going to see direct, definitive action from this direct motion, as well. So hang on! Those with birthdays on March 1st or September 3rd, your world is going for a shakedown cruise...so sit back and enjoy the ride!

And you have someone to blame for the unexpected, lightning-like chaos that is presently running your life for you: Uranus is trine the New Moon when the emotional tides of our body at their lowest ebb, this is going to be a super tense time frame for you. But at least you’ll be in control of your feelings for the most part which is good news!

For those of you who have a planet or ascendant, Midheaven or midpoint at 10 Pisces or by opposition 10 Virgo are in for a lot of change of a sudden nature. But it doesn’t end there--it STARTS there because the real focus of Uranus is in Pisces and by opposition, Virgo. All of you will be on a wild roller coaster ride for the next several weeks.

COSMIC CHAOS IS SUPREME
We are going to experience two days of absolute chaos on November 17th when Mercury turns direct (See my article: Mercury goes Direct on November 17, 2006) and less than forty-eight hours later, Uranus snaps direct on November 19, 2006. It can happen around us or to us, or a combination of both, depending upon our sun sign or aspects. The key to riding these chaotic times is remaining flexible, adaptable and not getting stuck in an attitude. Bending with the flow of energy is very necessary here, but those who can do it, will be very well off. Only those who stubbornly resist--and fixed signs of Taurus, Scorpio and Leo and Aquarius may try this--but it won’t be a happy outcome.

Every once in awhile we get too comfortable in our own little fixed rut or niche in life. Uranus has a job to kick us out of it to remind us that Change is the only thing we can really count on.

AN EXAMPLE OF URANUS GOING DIRECT
Want to see Uranus going direct? During the shadow period of Uranus going direct in 2003, California, was literally burning up. Over 3,600 homes were destroyed. Over thirteen lives were lost. One fire, for sure, was set by arsonists and I’m sure the others were as well...plus a stupid hunter to set a fire in Southern California because he was lost....where was his compass???? He sets a fire to get attention and help. And then this fire blows out of control and one firefighter dies thanks to this idiot who can’t read a compass and get himself out of the woods like a good hunter would know how to. Talk about the insanity of it all. This is the craziness of Uranus. Completely unpredictable. Not thinking. Shorted-out thinking processes (A does not follow B....).

The New Moon is going to exacerbate Uranus turning direct. People are going to feel the power of both primarily as NEW things entering their life rather unexpectedly. Uranus is going to have a powerful impact because of the New Moon surge of energy behind it. Look for Monday, November 20th, to set the standard for the next entire year. It’s a wowser. And what’s even nicer.....the hard, jagged edges of Uranus which are always present, will be somewhat ameliorated and declawed. Why? Because this New Moon on Monday ends the day with a conjunction with Jupiter--the god of luck, fortune and GOOD NEWS coming your way! Not to mention, money. Everyone should be looking forward to November 19th. And then, when transiting Sun conjuncts Jupiter on November 21st (Tuesday), there is going to be a ‘stream’ of good news coming for several days in a row--so stand by! Isn’t it nice to know there’s something good coming your way instead of something that requires so much effort and grit? Enjoy November 20 and 21st....it’s not gonna get any better than this for the year 2006!

So, all you Pisces/Virgos quaking in your boots, this isn’t going to be such a rough ride after all for you. Finally! Poor little soft, fragile Pisces has been getting shafted regularly and routinely by Uranus--those who are in the 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 degree range have been having their lives chewed up by the tank treads of Uranus for nearly two years. Enough is enough! This New Moon is going to give all of us who have been in our foxholes dodging and ducking the bullets of the Cosmos on a too-regular-basis a break and hey--even a GIFT if we’ve earned it! Christmas is coming early for a number of you....and I must say, you have EARNED the hard way--you’ve worked for every ounce of this gift you’ll be receiving.

SHADOW PERIOD OF URANUS
When a slow moving planet (they are considered Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) goes direct, lives can turn from a well known, fixed rut to utter chaos. Usually, it is about two weeks before the actual 'turn' that things begin to happen. With Uranus, it gets WILD! and we are going into that ‘shadow’ period with Uranus beginning November 6th through November 18th.

You don't need a planet exactly at 10 degrees of any mutable sign (Pisces/Virgo/Gemini/Sagittarius) to be 'hit' by this Mack truck that is careening out of control right now. Anyone with something three degrees either side of this are also under the gun. That means the following degrees are involved: 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13, respectively. And those of us who have "hard aspects" (conjunction, square, inconjunct and opposition) may be finding that Life is a fist to the jaw instead of a nice, unexpected pat on the back.

For those fortunate enough to have 'soft aspects' (sextile or trine) to Uranus turning direct, you're having some pleasant surprises come into your life--or if they haven't changed yet, they sure will by November 19th! Good things will be coming your way shortly because of your hard work and application (the sextile's premise and promise) you've already put into a project or situation. It will yield out favorably and with a surprise, in your direction. A raise isn’t out of a question. A boost up the corporate ladder may happen.

NEW MOON ENERGY IS SANTA COMING EARLY THIS YEAR!
From a numerological standpoint, the number 19 is a ‘1’. So, when all done and said, it is a “1” is about Beginnings. Think of this as a ‘seed’ month where you have an idea--speak up because receptive ears are listening. Do not be afraid to pitch your idea or product--it will get a thumb’s up or a budget to move it ahead. A One is a powerful leap forward. Just think of it as a jet going Mach 3 and you get the idea. This is a time to confront, be assertive, stand up and fight for your idea because you will win. Other adjectives or examples of One Energy are:
Becoming a leader. Pioneering. Seed being planted.
New ideas. Forging ahead. Impulsive. Decisive. Restless. Temper.Independence. Wants to work alone. Bossy. Arrogant. Aggressive. Warrior. Take-charge. Narrow minded. Focused. Intensity of focus or vision. Original. Self-reliance. Direct.

Of course, to get the most out of the gift of this New Moon riding the lightning bolt of Uranus going direct, be smart and don’t get aggressive, arrogant or pushy. Nor do you want to turn into a bully, either. This is a time to hold the energy of some new idea you’ve been wanting to take on or do--and dreams do come true under this one-two punch of Uranus and the jazzy, good luck New Moon! Just be ready for the deluge of goodies when it comes your way!

A New Moon makes people less sensitized and they get less irritable and out of sorts. Tempers won’t fray and flare, either. “Losing it” does not apply here.

At the same time, the New Moon energy, as does Uranus, allow a conduit between our conscious and unconscious to open up. We can have life-altering dreams, we can discover some deep facet of ourselves and will feel like a miner who has struck gold. It is a time of powerful and far reaching personal inner growth and transformation. We will find our Shadows during this period and be aware--finally--of how we project one of our wounds on others. This is a huge awareness to make and it is possible during this eclectic and electric time frame.

People are going to have more clarity than usual, too. One of the many good things about Uranus is opening our eyes to the truth, or that ‘aha’ moment that changes us forever.

Emotional upheaval is a fact during this period. Just adjust to it, know it's going to happen and try to deal with the blows or events in an adaptable, flexible way. Try not to allow your emotions to overwhelm and rule you.

Any attachment you have to anything (spouse, job, idea, etc.) is going to be tested during this period. Is is a healthy one? A good one? A positive one? Or not? You’ll find out.

Being an individual is going to stand out in bas-relief as never before. You have the capacity to appreciate what you bring to the table of Life in all ways. Appreciating yourself for who you are is the focus. Some people may feel absolutely like aliens during this five week period; as if they were on a strange planet among strangers and wish to go ‘home’. Others will feel a deeper connection to Mother Earth as never before and become a peaceful warrior on her behalf. This sense of belonging or not is going to be clearly demarcated. Those who belong will shoulder the responsibility of making changes and being held accountable for them.

This sense of being different is either going to drive a wedge between you and yourself or others or both. If you feel alien, this period gives you the opportunity to look at how you can feel as if you belong to this people/place and time. It will help you define where you feel out of synch or alien to the culture or people. And it will help you see how you can change your attitude so that there is more comfort in being here or not.

Many people may feel as if they are being swept along by a force that is outside their control; as if riding a surf board on a Tsunami. This creates the impression of being destabilized and unbalanced--and yet--you ARE heading somewhere. You just don’t have the whole picture; yet you are being DRIVEN to continue on that path in that direction. This sense of being an actor/actress in a greater play is being felt by all. And indeed, we do stand at a fulcrum point in November. What people decide to do is how the reality will be shaped. When you stop and think about that--that’s pretty powerful concept. So, do your part and make positive, healthy changes for yourself during this time because it will turn around and be shared with the world.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN WITH URANUS TURNING DIRECT?
First, let's look at what Uranus rules or symbolizes. It is about lightning bolts. "Out of the blue." The unexpected. Coming out of left field. Surprises. Jolts. Trauma. Accidents. Surgery. Airplane crashes. Electrical shocks. Bizarre/weird accidents (think of accidents sky diving, paragliders, bungee jumping, tanker truck New of hazardous material driven by terrorists into a USA target, etc.). Sprains and strains. Stress. Nervous tension. I can't take it any more. Explosions. Explosiveness felt inside one's self (and no place to 'blow it off'). Trembling. Shaking. Jerking. Spasms. Epilepsy. Seizures.

Revolution and fanaticism (look at the current global attacks by terrorists on democratic countries around the world). Fanatics. Zealots. Shattering (think of the sniper killings on the East coast of the USA that has played out under the shadow of this planet going direct several years ago.... Out with the old guard, in with the new. Sudden shifts in the making up of Congress due to the November 7th elections--out with the old, in with the new. Uranus always favors the underdog so I predict Democrats are going to make huge gains politically in this country. Sudden. Shock. Attack of some kind--asthma, a robbery, terrorists, etc. Computers crashes. ISP problems. Server hiccups. Spam deluge that will hose the Net. Net viruses are spread at this time--by terrorists--is a good bet right now. Or worse, by spammers. Electrical connection foul ups. Hard disk crashes. Net upheaval or breakdown. Machinery failure of all kinds (including computers, servers, or other computer hardware). Blowing the lid off something--an conscious awareness made about some person or thing--and it comes as a huge shock and/or surprise. Roller coaster. Upheaval. Unsteady. Broken routines. Fixed patterns destroyed or changed suddenly.

WHAT IF I’M AFFECTED BY THIS DIRECTLY?
If you have a hard aspect presently, it may not be the most pleasant of times for you. My advice is: watch how you drive your car, fly your plane, use a piece of machinery--pay strict attention to what you are doing--do NOT allow your focus to be torn away--if you allow it to happen, you are ripe for an accident. If you don't have to fly in an airplane during this time--don't do it (unless you have soft aspects--then it's okay). My advice is: Do NOT be in the air on a plane between November 15-20, 2006. Be on the GROUND). If you aren't sure about this, contact your astrologer in your local area. If you get a bad feeling about traveling somewhere, or flying--then don't do it. Wait. Reschedule after November 20th.

COMPUTER WARNINGS
Back up your computer from your hard drive--and don't say you weren't warned beforehand. Those dealing with servers--look out--take EVERY precaution to keep your machinery online and not take an unexpected "zap" from a power surge from your electric company.

Depending upon what house or houses are involved in your natal chart, this is where the action is going to take place. Again, a professional astrologer, numerologist or dowser can tell you much more about this focus of activity.

For those of us who have hard aspects you can envision the following: A leaded-glass crystal glass. A sixteen pound sledge hammer. The hammer shatters the glass. THAT is what it is like for us.

Those who have soft aspects don't get the shattering. They get the breakthrough without the sudden, unexpected destruction, tearing down, tearing away, explosiveness, of having it revealed to us in a more shocking manner.

BE FLEXIBLE IN A TIME OF CHAOS AND YOU’LL BE OKAY...
The best thing you can do is “go with the flow” and be just as flexible and bendable as you can be--if you are, you won’t get nailed with this “put-up-or-shut-up” energy. Those who try to resist, fight or dig your heels in....well, I’ve got news for you. If you want to be blasted out of your rut, you will be--in no uncertain, in-your-face terms. It’s your choice: be a willow, not an oak in this situation or suffer or gain from the circumstances accordingly.

For instance, Uranus rules insurrection and revolution--look what is going on in the presidential election, for example. Expect more conflagration issues between nations. “Going postal” is a real possibility, too. And road-ragers are going to be out in force; so just use sound judgment around this hot heads who are going to lose it. A mass killing by a ****** off male ASU student in Phoenix, Arizona, took the lives of three women professors days before Uranus went direct in 2002. He went ballistic and shot them with a rifle. Stay safe. Stay alert. Stay smart in your choices.

All I can say is: this energy, which feels like a huge implosion of energy that we're having to walk around with on our shoulders, inside ourselves, etc., will end after Sunday, November 19, 2006, and then things will settle down--but the pattern of our lives, particularly those who have hard aspects to transiting Uranus going direct--it ain't gonna be the same. There will be CHANGES. Count on it.

TERRORISM TAKES NEW AND GREATER TWISTS AND TURNS
Uranus rules terrorism/revolution/anarchy/rebellion. This isn’t just a USA “thing” at this point. Every democratic country in the world is involved with acts of terrorism any more. No one is safe anywhere when Uranus goes retrograde or direct; it is simply a time of high instability globally speaking. And of course, the USA had its own home grown terrorists too--the snipers on the East Coast wreaked havoc for weeks in 2002, as another example of this planet in action. Saddam’s verdict will create immense upheaval in Iraq; as if Iraq doesn’t have enough of it--it will get more unfortunately.

Those people who have planets at 10 degrees of Pisces and Virgo (7, 8, 9, 10,11, 12 and 13 Pisces and Virgo, too) need to be especially careful. So, stay alert and stay ‘smart’ about your activities between now and November 19th.

WHAT DOES URANUS RULE?
These are the areas where people may be getting either pleasant or unpleasant surprises from November 3rd to November 18th--understanding that as Uranus gets closer to turning direct, you will see these events unfolding more powerfully…..

HOW TO MAKE URANUS WORK FOR YOU IN A POSITIVE MANNER DURING THIS TIME
I don't believe we have to SUFFER endlessly through change. This is a great time to try and stay centered. Meditation is a wonderful way to accomplish this. Take time out from all the stress around yourself and remain calm and quiet. Visualizing Mother Earth in pure, clean colors that are meant to heal her, are very needed right now. Praying for peace has never been more necessary than right now. Let’s hope that our prayers for peace outweigh the warmongers' desire for more killing around the world.

Yesterday it went direct, and yesterday wasn't fun...i did learn some things about rejection...ouch...how nauseating!!

It's opposite my natal Saturn at 12 deg, and is headed for my Pisces Moon at 15 deg.

I guess that qualifies as being shaken out of a rut.. and yup, the job is for management.

And I am a Virgo born on Aug 31, Mercury at 6 degrees Virgo, Sun at 8 degrees, all up on the MC...

Hmm, neato-o. I will let you all know if I get hit with lightening. Great, more sh!t to worry about... and I am flying, too- but not until Nov 29th.

Thanks for another great article, 'Zala..
