I've always felt a certain affinity for Uranus, don't really know why. It resonates within me, natally it's in my 12/h.

I've never found lots to read/learn on this natal placement and recently Uranus has begun its trek into my 7th house. My Descendant is 9 Pisces and I have Chiron at 12 Pisces so t. Uranus is sitting right on my Chrion. I also have n.Jupiter 29 Pisces.

Anyone have any ideas on this transit? Especially re Chiron. For sure it's a looooong one.

Throughout life my romantic relationships have always been intense and short-lived (n.Uranus opp n.Venus) and I'm tiring of it. I've always felt the need to deeply connect, yet nothing ever lasts more than a few years (3 seems to be the magic number). Lately I've alternated between feeling depressed about it to getting excited about meeting someone new back to feeling hopeless.

I know there has to be a way out, I just can't find it out there in the universe. If anybody sees some sort of a path out please, please clue me in. I find myself feeling so sad about all of this. It's difficult when you've devoted your professional life to helping others find their path and you can't seem to find your own...(tears).

Thanks for your response. I can't manage to get a link on here or a pic of chart so how about I give you my birth data?

I'm not typically so depressed/blue today is just one of those days I guess

In addition you have Pluto as rising planet, which, together with Sun in the 8th, makes you willing to accept a lot of unwarrented blame. Blame is the way many people acknowledge power and you are a person of great (sprititual and creative) power.

Chiron in Pisces suggests something like "an upgrade to mastery." Agreeing with Uranus, it marks you as one highly evolved. However that fact is "forgotten" in the 12th and unowned in the 7th--with the result that you have been relatively unconsious of the fact that the reason you do not "fit in" is that you are an exceptionally evolved being--one who "runs on" a higher frequency than most around you during your early years.

The process of retrieving this knowledge--and your innate powers--begain with the Uranus opposition. It may almost "flood" you as Uranus conjuncts Chiron. For a while this will seem confusing and unclear, but try to relax and let it happen. It is all about you realizing who and what you really are--which is why you did not fit in.

Without real self-awareness, relationships are difficult-to-impossible, because the type you speak of requires equality. Not really knowing yourself, you could not recognize or attract your equals.

Once this process completes, the problem will resolve. Be patient. Let go and let God--do the work. Or think of it as an alignment with your own soul. However you regard it, it is--and was from birth--intended to unfold at this point in your life.

How nice to come home this evening and read your post.

Please forgive the following details of my life, I think I need to share them as a form of catharsis and comprehensions as well as a means to validate all you have taken the time to illustrate.

You are correct when you identify me as the "changling" in the family. Unfortunately I had the label of "instigator" and "rebel" given to me. Throughout my youth I was misunderstood and perhaps I then chose to identify with those labels rather than trying to fit in. I sort of went along on my own path~doing as I pleased. In that same vein I chose to associate with whomever I pleased, regardless of anyone's expectations.

In order to conceal choices others' would have disagreed with I learned how to "hide" maybe that's how I attempted to "fit in". I was fascinated with anything unique or unusual and eager to experience the same.

Since the age of 12 I KNEW what I was going to do in life - work with the mentally ill. For as long as I can remember everyone has always come to me for help with their emotional problems, I was a natural. Even at a very early age, I was aware of this incredible intuition I possessed as well as an unending reservoir of empathy that others could not even conceive of. They all just thougt I was very intelligent. I knew it was beyond such boundaries. At age 14 I spurned my religious upbringing by refusing to engage in a specific ritual (I am intentionally being vague so as not to offend anyone who might read this). At 14 I was incensed by the overt hypocrisy I witnessed. Though I was young, I had my own understanding of spirituality.

I did not fit in - anywhere.

When I began to have intimate relationships I was intensely private about them. I've had several secretive relationships b/c I always chose partners who were either much older or much younger than myself, lost souls that I "thought" I could connect with. I think my empathy was intertwined with love and passion. To this day, I continue to engage in offbeat relationships. I do not regret even one, they have each felt fated/gifted/karmic in their own ways.

I'm sharing all of this as a sort of prelude to what you have illustrated in your last post. You see the current love in my life is intensely karmic and sadly, ill-fated. I have known this from the start, yet I love him with all my being. It is our path. The matter at hand, which relates to your suggestions is that I have a deeply melancholic sense that I will not have him much longer. Conversely, on some level I feel excited by this strange feeling I may meet an "equal" soon. All my life I have unconsciously avoided love relationships with my peers, my contemporaries. My current love is 18 years younger than me...my last was 22 years older than me! None have been my equals! Just as you inferred. What strikes me is that in the last week or so I have been aproached by two men who are close to my age. One is an unevolved Scorpio turning 40 next month - not for me! The other is an Aquarian man who is the same age as me!! He appears to be much more evolved...closer to my level, we'll see. I've been obsessed with trying to figure out what I might learn from him. Perhaps this is where I need to heed your advice and RELAX.

I have two questions, first, re "In addition you have Pluto as rising planet, which, together with Sun in the 8th, makes you willing to accept a lot of unwarrented blame. Blame is the way many people acknowledge power and you are a person of great (sprititual and creative) power." Is blame MY way of acknowledging power or others' way of having power???

Next, when you say, "Chiron in Pisces suggests something like "an upgrade to mastery." Agreeing with Uranus, it marks you as one highly evolved." I don't understand what 'Agreeing with Uranus' means.

In closing, I'd like to say that in spite of being so misunderstood early in life and being looked upon as the black sheep, now as an adult I am the pride of my family, as well as my lifelong friends. I am now admired for the risks I take in life and at times envied for my courage in chasing my own dreams and being true to myself while following my own path!

The "rebel" label is a Uranus' thing. Aquarius on your 6th of work can point to working with the mentally ill---Uranus/Aquarius can refer to one who is a genius or crazy. Notice how often people call the geniuses of this world "crazy."

I doubt that you do much blaming of others. What I meant is that people who have Pluto or Scorpio rising get blamed a lot. People say that, whatever happens--especially what happens to us--is "our own fault." In fact it is not!

I just meant that the positions of both Uranus and Chiron suggest high states of evolution. Currently the Age of Pisces is drawing to a close. Next (in about 75 yrs) comes the Age of Aquarius. I am seeing many people today, who seem to belong to Aquarius, who seem to have "stepped back in time", having incarnated "from the future." Your chart looks that way to me.

So, in the spiritual sense, you are older--more mature-- than most around you. You ae sometimes drawn to physically older people because of that. Other times you are drawn to physically younger people because you are "ahead of your times."

(I find that my adult sons do not understand me, but their children do.)

It is quite interesting (and rare) that your family now admires you. Congratulations on that.

I checked out your website after reading your last post. I read thru your bio and saw some of those parallels you mentioned. Very cool! How wonderful that you were able to find your place and all the joy that it brings.

The ideas you've shared with me have really helped me to assimilate more of what I am feeling. Mostly I am focusing on relaxing so I can be more open to receiving what's out there for me.

I would also add, you have to keep in mind that there many varying degrees of these Uranus influences in each person's Chart. You have Uranus influencing your 7th House. My Natal Uranus is in my 4th House. Whichever House it's in is the area of life which gets shook up the most.
I'm saying, so you can see that your Chart contains a theme, and you'll be cooperating with that theme for your entire life.

My Chiron is in Pisces too, my 12th House is the Empty Space in my T-Square. Varying degrees ...

My Cancer Moon has probably kept me from pursuing a "professional life helping others" because it's such a strong placement for the Moon that my emotional needs were only all too obvious to me. It's always bothered me cz I do have a healing theme in my Chart, but I'm not personally strong enough to take on a heavy load of others serious needs. That sucks even more that this Moon is Opposite my Saturn in Capricorn. So there is this sense that no matter what, I'm just not good enough.

I'm learning to catch myself when I'm in that space, just before I tell myself off ...

Rev. Alice, if you're still out there and seeing this, I have a question...would you be kind enough to further explain that whole notion of me (my chart)seeming to be from the Aquarius Age, "coming back from the future"...being attracted to those much younger than myself because I am ahead of my times?

I seem to be having trouble getting my head around that idea and for whatever reasons it's been on my mind for some time lately.

Hope you are well, enjoying love and life.
