For several weeks I had been on edge, antsy, and agitated. It felt like an earthquake was about to happen inside me.Then on March 11th a massive earthquake hit Japan. Ironically that same day the planet Uranus transited into Aries. Following that I had a major anxiety/panic attack lasting two days.
The planet Uranus impacts the nervous system, and all things electrical, which includes the body's bio-electromagnetic subtle energy system.When transiting Uranus triggers any one of numerous factors in an astrological chart -- other planets, house cusps, etc --- it can manifest in an individual's daily life as the experience of anxiety. Thus the effect on my nervous system.
The influence of Uranus is revealed through innovations, break-throughs, shifts in perception, sudden turns, rebellion, independence, invention, surprises, liberation, disruption, awakening, and yes, earthquakes.
Uranus plays an important role as the provocateur, the bringer of the cosmic wake-up call for both individuals and the collective as a whole. Just when we relax into our comfortable, stable lives, Uranus disrupts the scene. It can be through an event that happens to us, or self-initiated acts spurned on by a desire for change.
With Uranus moving into Aries until 2018, we will be placed on a new stage that is set to shift a generation of events. It is this shift of Uranus into Aries that activates a new phase of our Life Journey as changes reveal our “True Self”.
Aries is the beginning of the zodiac and thus provides the seeds of self expression, motives, and ethics that determine the response and "karma" of reaping the seeds that are sown. If there are issues that require adjustments or disclosures before this can happen, Uranus will bring total perspective of the inner and outer workings of situations to facilitate this revealing process.
Usually Uranus assesses and reviews the seven-year events that occurred while Uranus was moving through the previous sign (Pisces from 2003 - 2010) that determines the seeds planted and the reflected events that are now ready to reveal the appropriate harvest. Uranus in Pisces prompts many delusional events that when Uranus moves into Aries, reality will hit hard.
This is a time of "finding yourself", when you begin to feel uncomfortable with your current life path and behavior patterns. Your ego is awakened, and you feel compelled to express yourself in unique and perhaps unusual or unconventional ways. With your increased openness to all that is new and different, you may encounter opportunities that appear to come out of the blue. Routine begins to bore you, and your current responsibilities may seem overwhelming. Your consciousness expands to the point where you are receptive to new ways of thinking and patterns of living. Especially if you are female, you may begin a relationship with a male, and this association leads you into undiscovered territory or some kind of break from your past. This can be an exciting period of your life that is filled with change and stimulation. You might begin or end relationships, start a new career path, or move to a new location.
So, what does that mean to me. First I am an Aries, so this transit will affect my life and all other Aries personally in a major way over the next seven years. Aries are those born (March 21 to April 20) Aries Traits: Adventurous and energetic-Pioneering and courageous-Enthusiastic and confident-Dynamic and quick-witted.
The Sun in Aries gives the will free rein to express itself. This could be done in the form of some leadership role, or by encouraging and inspiring others to look at themselves in a new way. This could also be accomplished by knowingly carrying out a deliberate act in the name of some cause.
During the next seven years be mindful that Aries governs the head and brain, and Arians are said to be prone to headaches, particularly migraines, sunstroke, neuralgia and depression. Indigestion and nervous disorders are also threats to you, and your rashness, impetuosity and wholesale physical commitment make you liable to accidents and physical injuries.
More clues to the nature of the potential changes can be found in the conditions in your natal chart--its house position, aspects, and the areas of the chart that it rules.
