Uranus and Sudden Removal

This blog talks about the significance of Uranus transits and the planet's reputation as the "Great Awakener".

I’ve been thinking a lot about the planet Uranus lately. In case you’re not familiar with this erratic energy let me introduce you to him. Uranus is called the “Great Awakener” and it is said that this outer planet is responsible for all the revolution in our lives.

When something is no longer serving its purpose for our soul’s evolution one of two planets will step in and get rid of it for us –Uranus or Pluto. Pluto will kill something permanently but with Pluto you can almost sense it coming from the distance. Plutonian energy will be powerfully destructive for sure but there is always the regeneration that comes from it. And Pluto is deliberate.

Uranus on the other hand is like the psychotic tornado of the zodiac. Uranus has the power of Pluto to destroy something important in your life but his energy is sudden, erratic and often takes you completely by surprise. Uranus is merciless in the sense that he will destroy your most carefully set up structures because he’s decided it’s time for you to reinvent yourself in that area of life. Of course, it’s really you who has decided this – once upon a time at your great “pre birth” meeting.

Uranus will take you out of your comfort zone like no other planet. It’s harsh and yet it works in another way as well. Just as Uranus can suddenly remove something from your life, it can suddenly provide you with something else.

The keywords to remember for Uranus are sudden, erratic, revolutionary, freedom loving, upheaval, chaos and ultimately, progress. Pluto peels open the band aid bit by bit but Uranus will simply come along and tear it off. Sometimes it’s better that way. After all, you feel the pain instantly and suddenly but just as suddenly it’s over. And you look around the destruction and in the midst of all this chaos you remember something: you’re awake.

Some key people in my life have been having major Uranian transits to their Sun or another personal planet and all of these people have suddenly transformed their lives or suddenly cut themselves off from people. This recent New Moon in Cancer activated my exciting natal Uranus located on my Descendant (your close relationships) by square and I suddenly, without any warning, explanation or reason, had a very dear friend inform me via email (Uranus rules technology!) that we could no longer be friends.

I was devastated at the sudden inexplicable loss until I remembered Uranus’ plan. There was a reason for this sudden removal just as there is for all the ones you personally suffer. Even if we don’t know for some time to come, trust the universe’s wisdom. Uranus - sudden removal and sudden awakenings. Pretty powerful stuff eh?
