Uranus opposite Uranus represents what is called mid-life crisis. So the period you are referring to would be right before that. Neptune comes into play because it is usually square itself. Adds confusion and delusion. Uranus can add anxiety.

The Sun and Saturn are in your 4th. I equate those with a father figure. I equate the 4th with a mother figure (and the Moon). So it is like a transposition can occur. The NN on ASC tells me something major can happen. Since choice is involved, and spiritually speaking, I think astrological events are mostly neutral, including death but our choices can sway the outcome.

Bizarrely, the uranus vs stellium hadn't occurred to me yet, mainly because he has a HUGE cluster hitting his natal juno in the run up - he'll have the sun, uranus and Union conjunct juno almost exactly in the middle of April (your juno will be in the 10th, probably nearly conjunct your MC as his is at 28.46). In his case, this juno will be hitting in his 4th house.... then uranus turns retograde at taurus 2.34 in April and won't clear the RX and shadow until April 23 2019, so he's going to have another year before uranus really gets to work on his stellium.

You might get some of the initial uranus hit as your sun is earlier, but it goes retrograde very quickly, before it directly touches your sun (tho mercury gets three hits in a year - you have my sympathy, my sun is at 2.08 taurus :eek

It's not an easy stretch for either of you, for sure.

As general advice - expect the unexpected. Lots of change, particularly around living situation. Looking at the ruling planet of your IC - venus - it's also worth considering the native venus-mars conjunction being opposite neptune as there may be family or relationship issues attached to the changes.

I love that you've started laying groundwork - that will definitely help. Also worth doing a health MOT - something Kannon has mentioned previously because sun rules the heart (and for me, the transit will square my moon in leo exactly as well).

I'll be giving my mate a heads up that he needs to start making decisions now about what he wants to do around particular things, so he can start the prep work.

Resolve to make the best of the opportunities of Uranus's transits opposite this natal stellium and you'll be able to get through it and look back on it glad you went through it. You can verbalize this intention so you can overcome anxious thoughts about what might happen. YOU are happening to IT ... if you want to.

Forget the association of Uranus with 'death.' Uranus is liberation, a trans-personal planet that is the higher octave of Mercury, and helps us break up our ruts and the way we cling to routines of safety and security. In the opposition transits it will do this at least partly through relationship dynamics.

Uranus in transit opposite natal Pluto is definitely a shake-up of what empowerment means and you'll have some learning experiences that show you how others' whimsy or sudden changes can affect you deeply. The transit opposite natal Mercury will change information processing and communication patterns; opposite the Sun will change your perspective on personal identity, possibly bringing some health matters to light if they have gone unnoticed; opposite natal Saturn, it will show how well you've dealt with the previous three transits, and will be a process of changing some life structures in ways that will later allow you more connection, but you'll have to let go of some notions of material security for it. That is your beliefs that could be causing over-compensation in attempts at keeping life structures secure.

It was a time of increased independence and freedom in my life, more autonomy. A time of change but all positive changes, dreams coming true, more experiences entering my life ect...

During those transits, I graduated with my BA degree, it was the start of my career, met my husband, moved out of my parents, moved in with my husband, moved out of Florida and moved to Colorado, moving from FL and getting to know the rest of the US was a a big dream of mine...Lots of changes......Uranus is exciting and it is about taking big risks that make you feel alive, that is what it was like for me.

When Uranus opposed my Venus I met my ex and it was love at first sight. When uranus transited my 5th I did have a fling that was meaningful to me.

I am experiencing Uranus opposite Pluto, I have pluto in libra at 28d. Not a super exciting transit so far like all my other uranus transits have been...I think is an outer planet on an outer planet and is supposed to play out in a more collective way and less in a personal way like my other uranus transits.

I understand what you say about the aftermath of the Pluto transit to your natal Moon. I'm in the same aftermath.

I think the ultimate realization is that change and freedom are not diametrically opposed to us having what we need and having an element of stability in our lives. But we can learn that what feels secure often just weighs us down or weighs down our minds with a compulsive necessity to keep it same and predictable.

Uranus's transits will undoubtedly challenge this for you. The lesson from it is connecting to society and larger, out of sight networks or novel opportunities that cannot be calculated into a conventional notion of material stability. I'm not at all implying I've mastered this. Still very much learning even though I've had some successes as you have.

It may be that you don't realize how much your life needs to change -- but it doesn't have to be truly overwhelming. The harder we cling to what is predictable and same, the harder we make it.

Be sure to not get caught up in the political or social memes of thought as to what category you're in and how things are for people of 'your category.' It's easy to do, but these Pluto-Uranus transits will either push us around by our reaction to the larger world, or we will become more deeply engaged in creating our lives and bypass the pitfalls of thinking of those caught up in popular consciousness memes. These trans-personal planets deal in those unconventional approaches to things that most people still cannot see or relate to because they don't feel solid enough.

Liberation starts in the mind and saying Yes to the unknown good we cannot yet see.

Does it not sufficiently appease Uranus that I become the agent of change rather than a victim of circumstance?

THAT is it exactly!

9 years ago when I came to Portland Pluto was in transit square my natal Uranus -- applying to it. It was by all appearances a risky move, given that I had no resources to speak of and nothing guaranteed (job, etc). Yet my life didn't really begin until I got here. Looking back, everything seems little more then preparation for it and I seized the moment.

My direction here came as a result of co-creating the awareness of what is the sweet spot on this planet for me to live. I don't know what is right for you, whether that be a change of location or anything else, but I suspect circumstances could spur just that. It is better to use the powers of our own consciousness in cooperation with the universe to create personal certainty within ourselves and be that agent of change.

It does not require having any particulars in mind. That is what the trans-personals can help us to do effectively: simply create an outcome in our consciousness of something better, something more ideal -- ask for it to be made clear and obvious so there is no mistake. You might think of this as like a prayer, but it is not a request. It is a command so that you can best flourish.

The universe blows open the doors for this!
