The square between Uranus & Pluto is not hitting your son's chart in angular fashion. I wouldn't see it as a cause for concern. Pluto is in transit quincunx his natal Mars and contra-parallel his Mercury. That's just not the same or as disruptive as Uranus-Pluto both squaring natal points.

You're probably thinking about the Asc at 10 Aries, but that's past. Pluto and Uranus are both moving on past that area of the cardinal signs. Besides, that Asc figure is off by at least 4 degrees and I cannot be certain exactly where his Asc is.

The governor of my state (Oregon, USA) resigned today after called to resign by the state's leading newspaper, The Oregonian, and by all the higher ranking state officials of his own party (Democratic).

John Kitzhaber won election (plurality, 49.8%) to his 4th term against a weak opponent in spite of questions regarding conflicts of interest involving benefits to his fiance.

Pluto [20S32] transited parallel his validated Asc 0SAG03 [20S10] (orb 0*22'). Also Saturn 4SAG14 was conjunct his Asc. Meanwhile Uranus 13ARI46 made a sesquisquare to his Asc (orb, 1*17'). This is not the typical Uranus-Pluto transit configuration to noticeably affect someone's life, but because Pluto was angular by making a parallel to his Asc while Saturn was conjunct it, you can see how this would not seem to matter to his chart at first, but does when you look at the declinations.

If there is interest I can post the chart to demonstrate, but otherwise won't distract too much from our previous direction here.

No matter what chart you use or prefer for the US, that double-double transit has a lot to do with the current tensions politically that show no resolution coming soon.

Pluto angular transits to US Sun, Saturn show a period of fights for power and control. Uranus' transits to those points show a period of reactionism, anti-attitude and even extremism in policy making that will subside somewhat as Uranus moves out of mid-Aries this June. I say 'somewhat' because it will then make a square to US Mercury 24 Cancer, but that will give more communicative action than Uranus' action to US Sun/Saturn.

It shows the chance for some movement that could build and actually give some progress.

Can anyone tell me what they were doing on November 28 2013 at 09:30pm (GMT) and also 21 May 2014 at 10:30pm (GMT).

Perhaps if there is a website that I can check?

Big shake-up in Oregon government brings in a new governor. See how this transit comes into orb fully between election day Nov. 2014 and Feb. 2015 when Gov. Kitzhaber resigned...

Lots of juicy astrology -- very instructive for students and astrologers alike.

Plus you can give me your impressions of our new governor and what her placements might be. Interesting chart situation (no birth time, very cuspy sun, moon). Please comment on that part at my blog.

Well, its a time for paying better attention to healing and either involving new methods for doing so, or getting back to the old ones that you may've left behind. Don't expect health to flow smoothly. As Uranus moves away things can stabilize so your efforts can be more consistent and direct.

Some can experience jarring injuries or upsets during the time when Uranus (or Pluto) is in its tightest aspect to natal Chiron. It is important not to fall into the role of victim, but to see how things fell out of balance to get you there and take the opportunity to make the necessary changes to get back on a path of balance and healing.

The TV series Mad Men, which some of you may know, became a big hit during the larger period of this square (starting with the wider degrees back in 2008) and is ending this year in April, immediately after the last exact square at the end of March. Its timeline has focused precisely on the 60s, when the Pluto/Uranus conjunction happened, marking the beginning of a new cycle. It handles very intelligently and realistically themes about women's role in society, the protests in the 60s, etc., but mostly people's prejudices to new movements. Clash between old and new, the inevitable decomposition of outdated structures. This is the theme both of the show and of the Pluto/Uranus aspects (at least partially).

Much of the social orientation and many of the changes of those times in the mid-60s were good in my view and turned inward into what has been termed "Cultural creativity." This was a values shift that includes empowerment and equality for women and all people, local community focus, Earth Day/ecology/re-greening the planet, as well as opposition to nuclear power and military-industrial profiteering.

This has been re-visioned during this time, particularly seen in Cannabis legalization, growing hemp again to help re-green the planet and another push for equal pay for women.

Recent Uranus position 5 north makes a parallel to its 1966 position during the conjunction with Pluto at 17 Virgo. Current/coming Pluto pos mid-Capricorn trines this 1966 conjunction. It doesn't look the same, but it is definitely a recapitulation.

Its also an illustration of how long it can take for significant progress to be accomplished within the socio-political sphere.

Thank you, Kannon It's interesting you speak about the "victim role", this is the "shadow" of this person, partially inherited through education; hopefully the configuration will bring a realization of that. So very often inheriting victimization is very difficult to pin down by the person in question.

Sure. That's what I created this thread for: breaking down what this transit means for people's real experience. So long as we stay on track with the Uranus-Pluto square.

Hopefully that means the Uranus-Pluto square is over for you since they've moved into the middle degrees.

Long story short,I have been battling mental illness for 7 years without any consistent results and life is passing through me like a hurricane,leaving me with nothing but ruins.
I made a big progress in terms of self respect and explorations of my mind.
I`m a novice in astrology,but I think that Pluto and Uranus are interracting with my chart in a way that i can learn self-empowerment and positive transformation.
With
Pluto trine Sun
Pluto opp Asc
Pluto quinqunx Moon
Pluto sq Mercury
Pluto sextile Mars
and
Uranus semi-sextile Sun
Uranus sextile Moon
Uranus sq Asc
Uranus conj Mercury
Uranus conj Pluto.

Sooo,here`s the chart:

"This Uranus-Pluto square has been hitting points/planets at around 8-12* of cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) pretty hard now for nearly 2 years. It will be moving through 12-16* for the next couple years."

It's going to be squaring me for quite awhile, all falling in angular houses to....
My AC libra@7.08
Pluto libra@11.05
Jupiter aries@15.15
Venus libra@19.05
Vertex aries@21.23
Chiron aries@24.14

Yes, I think you can gain some personal transformation to empowerment during the Uranus-Pluto square, but it will stretch out longer than just the time when Uranus is still square to Pluto. In a way this is good, because it breaks up the process. But it has just begun for you and it may be tough for a while when Saturn joins Pluto in about a year or so from now.

The key is in not taking on too much or expecting too much change at once. Stability is the key. The world will go on changing with or without you, but if you need stability and to find healing, just go at your own pace apart from what is happening elsewhere. You can rejoin them when you feel ready.

With strong Uranus transits it takes maintaining balance in order to best benefit from it. With the Pluto transits, standing your ground and knowing your limits.

Pluto just crossed my DSC and is now 1 degree away from my natal Saturn (which rules my DSC), and is also heading for my natal sun (2 degrees to go!)

Meanwhile, Uranus is squaring all this. x_x

I suppose I haven't felt the full effect of it yet but it seems to be centered around relationships. I've been working on healing myself emotionally and health wise. It's been a struggle trying to get to the root cause of my problem (with Pluto having just transited through my 6th.) I'm hoping I'll have a breakthrough with this transit.

posted March 07, 2015 11:32 PM            

Here is my chart, please take a look. I'm going blank for some reason. Is it the square affecting me this way?

posted March 08, 2015 04:30 PM            

What we look for are factors in your chart in the middle of cardinal signs.

Also anything at 20-21* north or south in declination for Pluto transits since it is at 20S30 now.

And anything at around 5-5.5* north or south since Uranus is now 5N17.

So in your chart Uranus has been square your Mercury and is now moving away ... This transit has to do with an influx of new information and bursts of communication that were probably on/off; Pluto has been opposite your Mercury and will be for a year or two longer ... This further reinforces the revolution in thought, requiring it to be at-depth, rather than simply a period of erratic or upsetting communications. Something empowering must be gained, particularly as you orient yourself to others, noticing how words and beliefs in yourself and others' speech affect you.

Since your natal Sun is at 20N38 it is being closely transited by contra-parallel from Pluto. This is about putting your power into action as you observe how these things affect you. The most dramatic effects from these transits are probably over for you since Uranus has moved out of range of contra-parallel to your Moon. That leaves it less about what is stirred up in your emotions from all these types of interactions and revelations and more about how to re-orient yourself to an empowered position.

At first thanks a lot for your analysis. Now yeah, maybe I've been subjected to so much during these past months that I'm just shaken, mostly it was on part of people I trusted most and could never expect all this from. I had to ignore a lot of their actions, and still give them power because of my love / obligation towards them, but anyways..I am happy that you said that worst of it is over, maybe now it's all about the disposition I've now..truly I'm facing the silence after the storm…lol..I've to build myself again with greater force and affirmation..but the final blow is still remaining I suppose on 17th March…
