Main event in Finland is the comet-like rise of a populist extremely conservative/racist/homophobic party. A year ago they were a joke, now we are going to have parliamentary election in April and if the results of countless surveys are not completely off, they will get 20% of the vote. If our next prime minister is the leader of this party, I am going to emigrate.

Globally, the revolts in the Arab countries are a perfect expression of Jupiter/Uranus energies (helped along by Pluto). I couldn’t have come up with a better example even if I tried my outmost.

AND FINALLY….

vi) Any other comments by way of conclusion?

Hopefully the new Jupiter/Uranus cycle will keep me on my chosen path and the repressed people of the world on the barricades.

Looking back at news from March 10 I found this quote from an article in the International Herald Tribune to be a significant reflection of how the Jupiter- Uranus transit is influencing daily life in the US.

CHICAGO — The bitter political standoff in Wisconsin over Gov. Scott Walker’s bid to sharply curtail collective bargaining for public-sector workers ended abruptly Wednesday night as Republican colleagues in the State Senate successfully maneuvered to adopt a bill doing just that.

It also reflects the polarized battle of the separating Saturn –Pluto square delivering polarized battles between class interests,  and the approaching Uranus – Pluto square in 2012, promising volcanic eruptions world wide between governments and the people they serve – as already witnessed in the social unrest in the Middle East and the recent invasion into Libya.

AND FINALLY….

Upheaval, students finally waking up and protesting, uprisings in the Arab world, earthquakes and tsunami.

AND FINALLY….

If this is a peak into the future, many will prefer the past.

It was a year of much environmental apocalypse which is still ongoing and developing.  Volcanos and earthquakes.  Seems very Jupiter/Uranus. There’s a whole new level of grief and fear and alarm in waking up in the mornings these days. A sense of my own evanescence and the possible/probable disappearance of much of the natural world.

AND FINALLY….

vi) Any other comments by way of conclusion?

There are 6 planets in Aries in the first few days of April 2011, which with the current situation as of the Ides of March in Japan and politically here in the USA does not make me feel encouraged.  Carl Rogers said that“The truth shall set you free, but first it will make you miserable”.  The truth is coming out about many things as in the condition of superannuated nuclear reactors in this country and in Japan and elsewhere which can only make me miserable. The combination of nuclear reactors for profit and the trust in their self-responsibility is beyond insane.

vi) Any other comments by way of conclusion?

Time and events worldwide seem to be speeding up with a new crisis almost daily.  The 24-hours-a-day news media, social networks, and instant communications have all added to the feeling of unpredictability.  Obviously the Aquarian Age is upon us.  I think the Bible says something about when the sign of man appears in the heavens, you will know all things.  Interestingly, Aquarius is the only sign depicted by a man.

11 March 2011, the day Uranus entered Aries, was the day of the Japan earthquake/ tsunami / nuclear disaster! Could it be more perfect astrologically speaking? The cardinal T-square of 2010-2011 happened with a lot of major events!!!

The Haiti and Chile earthquakes (January and February)

Eyjafjallajokull eruption and global disruption (April and May)

The Gulf of Mexico oil disaster (April and May)

The collapse of Greece economy (April and May)

The global scandal and disclosures of Wikileaks (July and November)

Earthquake, tsunami and volcanic eruption in Indonesia (October)

Major protests and revolts in Europe (October to December)

The collapse of Ireland economy, fears of a Euro collapse (November)

The attack of North Korea, threats of a nuclear war (November)

Wave of uprisings and civil war in Muslim countries (January to now)

The New Zealand earthquake (February)

The Japan earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster (March)

The collapse of Portugal economy (March)

Millions were affected by these events. It was a year of impressive change.

AND FINALLY….

vi) Any other comments by way of conclusion?

As impressive as the change might have been in 2009 and 2010, the cardinal  alignments will still continue through out the next years. This means that a lot of big change will continue!

In 2011, Uranus squares Pluto, and Jupiter opposes Saturn. Between 2012 and 2015, Uranus squares Pluto, for a long time. At this period, both transit the angles and planets of many western nations. In 2019, Jupiter,
Saturn and Pluto form a conjunction in Capricorn.

If we follow the pattern of dramatic change and revolts every 84 years that Uranus transit in Aries (1770s, 1840s, 1930s), then it becomes apparent that we are due to another period of dramatic events. What we are seeing, is just the beginning. Uranus in Aries marks in fact a new beginning.

Definitely, the unrest in the Middle East (Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, etc.), and the political and economical unease right heer in America. Also, the earthquakes in New Zealand, Chile, Japan—floods in Australia. It just seems that this year has been a time of instability and upheaval that while causes a lot of dame in the process will ultimately lead to tremendous change for the better. I say that, not downplaying the devastation caused by these events, but what I feel will be the lasting changes resulting from them.

AND FINALLY….

vi) Any other comments by way of conclusion?

It was a pleasure participating in this research project. I hope the people reading who are interested in astrology, get as much out of it as I have.Just reading the other participants entries helped me understand the effects of this transit (Uranus will be sitting on my south node for a good while even after this project ends) even better.

Harry Aged 41

Obviously the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster in Japan.  We also had flooding here on the East Coast which, to me, speaks not only of Jupiter/Uranus, but Mars in Pisces.

AND FINALLY….

vi) Any other comments by way of conclusion?

It’s important to remember that astrology is, among many things, the study of cycles.  An event may not coincide with an actual transit or meeting of two planets at an important point, choosing to manifest instead with subsequent transits or Eclipses to that point.  Realizing this and working with this time table — the upcoming transits to this point — can help you harness or at least work with the energy in achieving what you want in a way that channels the energy around you instead of working against it.

Eve Aged 51

AND FINALLY….

Any other comments by way of conclusion?

I think we can all agree that this was a surprising year for the world.  We had major Earthquakes, Volcanos, Tsunamis, followed by major man made disasters such as the Oil Spill in the Gulf and the unthinkable Nuclear meltdown in Japan.  Not to mention the middle east rebellions against government suppression.  I think the universe is telling us it’s time to rethink our energy needs.  If we hope to survive, we need to change things that aren’t working in that area. Uranus is Aries is a time to start new and I think the disasters that have befallen humanity this year, produced in many cases a surprise ending, so that a new and hopefully better beginning can emerge.

**********

Alicia Aged 53

I think we all witnessed revolution at work, all across the globe.  Most surprising was Obama’s return to favour in the polls.  It’s almost Alice in Wonderland-like.

AND FINALLY….

vi) Any other comments by way of conclusion?

War, earthquake, tsunami, ecological disaster, revolution enforced from without and within.  I think Uranus shouls be happy with his partnership with Jupiter.  One thing we didn’t consider enough as astrologers was the Pluto effect that lingered—Pluto affecting the cardinal point guaranteed that death was on Uranus’ heels.  For me, personally, as well as globally.  It was a bloody revolution and its toll was high.

Louis’s Year 2010/11

Louis Aged 60

(Louis was included in the study because his progressed MC/IC had just shifted into Aries/Libra)

In retrospect, regardless of what I said in previous questionnaires, the significant features for me were probably new learning, meeting new but not necessarily easy people and travelling a lot to Europe.  Yes there was an increased feeling of unease, connections with much younger people facing death through illnesses out of the blue and a sense of having little time left to do an awful lot.

I think the response to the previous question suggests that the effect was able to be seen and felt.  It hasn’t been very enjoyable as even the new learning has had an obsessive and even desperate quality to it.

Fiona’s Year 2010/11

Fiona Aged 61

It all seems so petty and personal in the light of the current situation in Japan, but I learned to not listen to every body who wishes my attention.   I still am eager to listen to my daughter, to my best friend but my indiscriminate listening to just anyone has disappeared in this year.  My twenty years of dogged devoted listening from my training as a homeopath has flown the coop.  I just don’t have the patience any more to mother everyone….I feel both guilty and relieved.

************

Barbara’s Year 2010/11

Barbara Aged 81

Summarizing the past year: Two steps forward and three steps back. Financial losses, stressful, health problems. Intuition out-to-lunch; made many decisions I regretted later.

Jupiter in my First House all year should have made my life easier, however, Uranus in my First House at the same time, injected the unexpected, surprise element that kept me off balance. With natal Uranus in my First House in Aries, you’d think I would be used to it.

Other factors to consider: the Solar Eclipse 1/15/10 conjunct my natal Venus and the Solar Eclipse 7/11/10 conjunct my natal Pluto added to the mix.  Looking back at similar Solar Eclipses in 1972 and 1991, I can report those two years were particularly stressful with a sensation of floating and plans not working out.

Eve’s’s Year 2010/11

Eve Aged 51

The most significant parts of the year were in February and  March 2010.  My husband suddenly went in for gallbladder surgery and my boss was “asked” to retire.  In late March, I left my sedentary secretary position and went back to a more manual labor job.

The conjunction of Uranus and Jupiter at 28 Pisces in August/Sept 2010 was when I injured my shoulder at work.  I was unable to work for the next two months. I found this significant due to the extreme astrological associations  with the actual conjunction.  (Uranus ruling shoulders and the injury exactly where the Star Scheat is located in Pegasus.

On the last conjunction of Jupiter/Uranus in January 2011, almost to the day, the Postmaster General announced that they were downsizing and restructuring the entire organization due to massive debt. I waited until March 25th to write, because certain details were supposed to be released on an early retirement buyout offer.  Unfortunately things are proceeding slower than expected.   I expect to have conformation of an buyout offer for me after our contract is ratified sometime in May.  I told Anne in an email my only misjudgment with this conjunction, was that I thought it would be the start of the beginning of my new life, when in fact it turned out to be just the beginning of the end of my old life.  Maybe that is due to the fact I was dealing with 29 degree of Pisces energy and not 0 Aries.  It has required me to acquire a double dose of patience.

I consider this past year a milestone year, the kind you use as markers in your life and consider it as a turning point into a new beginning.

************

Kathy’s Year 2010/11

Kathy Aged 54

The return after an absence of 17 years of the “Vertex” relationship which, as I now know, started in May 1988 with transiting Uranus conjunct my natal Vertex at the 1^st degree of Capricorn and  the same said Uranus was in square to his Sun/Moon midpoint at  29 Pisces 52. This fast forward repeat run was completely unexpected, very disruptive to my well-organized life and my mental state, but also very exciting.

The influence of the conjunction seemed to be very strong May to Sept but diminished after that. The January conjunction at 27 Pisces passed without any out-of-the-ordinary happenings.

Now it remains to be seen what, if anything, Jupiter and Uranus return into Aries brings. Nor do I know if I want anything more to happen.

Funnily enough, when Uranus T reached his Sun/Moon a couple of nights ago, my phone rang. I think his extreme sensitivity to that point in his chart is the result of its location in his 1^st house.

Jupiter and Uranus will be transiting my 9^th house and his 1^st in the near future.

Other than Vertex, nothing major happened except the sleepless months in the busy summer (my Mercury at 0 Aries trine Uranus in 12^th house got overly activated by the 1^st conjunction in June I think).

At the moment I am feeling like I’m turning into more me but then, no wonder, with many planets in Aries/Leo/Sagittarius. The whole chart is on the move because the fire element is very strong.

Active 9^th house thanks to the conjunction. Lots of foreign travel after many travel-less years. Surprise meetings of old friends with a foreign country connection.  So yes, the influence was there to be seen. Now it feels like it was return to the life I am meant to be living with my 9^th house Sun in Aries. Will also examine my past charts to see what derailed me in 1999/2000.

************

Caroline’s Year 2010/11

Caroline Aged 58

Now that I have a bit of perspective, or at the very least, a familiarity with the last year in transit I can say with new awareness that finding a place where I feel I belong has been the most significant journey of the past year…. a journey of the soul. (Jupiter – Uranus transiting my natal 4^th house opposing my 2^nd Saturn return in my natal 10^th house, transiting Neptune in my natal 3^rd house opposing my natal Rx Mercury in the 9^th house, transiting Pluto 1 degree approaching an exact conjunction with my natal Chiron in the 1^st house.

When 2010 began to unfold I was not expecting to relive my past as I did.

In mid March 2010 I suddenly returned to the country of my birth after a decade lived on 3 different continents. I had a vague idea of returning to live and work in my birth land but nothing was for certain. I tried to re-enter friendships that had once defined my sense of self in the world but too much time had passed, our lives had evolved in different directions, and I returned not understanding how much my values had changed in the passing years.

I had much difficulty adjusting to the changes and struggled to understand them. Relationships with my blood family also changed in unexpected ways that was both sobering and nourishing. I released painful attachments to family sorrows and personal disappointments.

I lived the entire year without my own home and experienced many changes and disruptions to my daily rituals that required me to be flexible and to gracefully fit into the daily rhythm of others, which I did with modest success.

In 2010 I did the same work that I had done when I was 28 and experiencing my 1^st Saturn return – I helped friends and family redecorate their homes. I was somewhat bemused to be re-living work that I had once loved to do but now had lost it’s value for me.  Familiar stress and insecurities arose but with a different consciousness than 30 years past and so I was able to constructively use my past to form a new beginning.

With eyes opened I accepted limits and responsibilities that I had resented in the past. I had lived 10 years “ with one foot in and one foot out” the United States and it was time to make a firm decision of which way to step. I left the states in the beginning of 2011 and arrived to a place where I belong, a place for me to take root.

It has been an amazing year of inner growth that has brought a deeper accepting of myself and my relationships with others. It has been a significant year of changes, healings, and new beginnings.  I am at the threshold of a new way of living my life and this past year feels to be the gestation of something yet unborn within me.

Giorgio’s Year 2010/11

'Giorgio' aged 28

Basically: Uranus joined with Jupiter, in square to Pluto, and opposition to Saturn. Having Mars at 0º Libra, Mercury at 29º Sag, and Sun at 26º Sag, I was under a great push for change. In early 2010, I decided to quit my job and applied to a new temporary project in Iceland which I did in spring and summer. This was a great adventure (Uranus transit to Mercury and Mars) and a first shift (the first entry of Uranus and Jupiter in Aries). 

Returning home, I started a new job in October but then, together with my fiancé, we applied to an internship back to Iceland to which we were accepted and started in January 2011 (retrograde transit). This is now our new home, and our new careers.  We are living in a local community, with environmental matters. It might really be a long-term new beginning! And Uranus goes ahead again in Aries.

The conjunction of Uranus/Jupiter felt on 2^nd house. My natal Sun in 11^th house was squared by it. You can clearly see all the astrological themes! Particularly, the revolutionary influence of the conjunction expressed by a change of a career and in values (2^nd house), and by new long-term and social engagements in a group setting working for a cause (11^th house).

This year (2010 and early 2011) was very significant, in my life. I am still not sure about the consequences of the major change that has happened. But it seems to be at least together with 2000, as one of the two years of biggest change in my life. I think this was because there was a major T-square that transited 3 of my natal planets, not just the Jupiter/Uranus. It has been a major change (this is also Saturn return), but Uranus/Jupiter push the boundaries of conventional: I quit my career to begin living in an intentional eco community abroad.

************

Maria’s Year 2010/11

Maria Aged 32

I quit my job of ten years and finally filed for divorce even though I had been separated since October 2010. I moved briefly for educational purposes, came back and moved into a new part of my city. I had been living in the same place for ten years prior to that. I tried to get a job with my new skills but no such luck. Out of the blue, however, I was asked to write and edit for an entertainment website. I’ve gotten to do red carpet events and write about the stuff I love: music, film, and technology. It’s a complete 360 from what I was doing before, but I love it even though it’s hard work. I am doing my best to make the website popular and profitable. At the time of this writing, we are writing a business proposal to get investors so we can do a website redesign.

This year has been very significant! It feels like I completely lived one life and am starting another. The life that I lead now, is more true to who I am.

************

Harry’s Year 2010/11

Harry Aged 41

Recognizing the importance of this Jupiter/Uranus event happening conjunct my Sun at the same time I was experiencing my Uranus opposition Natal Uranus and Jupiter opposition Natal Jupiter helped me to streamline my intentions, focus, and more courageously begin the process of realizing several important goals.  I knew they wouldn’t take root at this time, necessarily, but that they — with the doggedness of Saturn — eventually would. I also understood that putting myself out in the field where that bolt of lightning (Uranus) would be able to find me was the way to go and, drawing on the optimism of Jupiter, that’s exactly what I’m doing.

************

I feel as if, although there were definitely changes with both my partner (who’s an early Libra) and I — and even changes within the changes, some taking form, others disappearing as quickly as they arrived –, the conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus on my 00 Aries Sun was the planting of the seed, so to speak.  The actual changes manifested by Jupiter/Uranus will come, I suspect, with Jupiter’s subsequent transits and Eclipses to this 00 Aries degree.  This experience, like I said, was the planting of the seed.

2. The Jupiter/Uranus volunteers sum up: “Alicia” ‘s story

I thought it might be of particular interest for those of you who have been following the research throughout the year – as well as anyone new dropping in! – to see the actual questionnaire I sent out to the “Jupiter/Uranus Ten” (as they will forever be known!) with one person’s story unfolding exactly as I received it. All the feedback has been clear and vivid. But I have chosen to feature “Alicia” not just for the clarity of her writing but also for  the detail of her astrological commentary. This truly is a “Tale from the Wild Ride”…..

Alicia Aged 53

Research Study:Jupiter/Uranus conjunction in Aries and Pisces 2010/11

Questionnaire Four

(In responding to this questionnaire, please type in your replies preferably in black so that I can see them clearly. Please try to be reasonably economical in your responses! And disclose in detail only what feels comfortable to be published. )

A Year Summarised: mid-March 2010 to mid-March 2011

Here are some brief Notes to set a context for your feedback:

Jupiter conjunct Uranus is a combination of energies regarded as dynamic, unusual, disruptive, expansive, unpredictable – breaking down the old order, stimulating breakthroughs to new levels of expression and understanding, individually and collectively. It is most powerfully connected at a collective level to radical and disruptive environmental, social, political and technological shifts and breakthroughs.

Personal Life

i) General Overview of the period (NOTE: nothing in writing here – just mark x against the most appropriate category)

Did your life’s experiences during the year fit the Jupiter/Uranus ‘signature’ as briefly described in the notes above? (Bear in mind that any planetary energy can strike a ‘dumb note’ with you, but be vividly observable in the life/lives of family or and/or friends and/or significant others)

Very much so XXX

Moderately so

Mildly so

Not at all

(Please do respond to this, everyone – it’s important  in order to get a “general overview” feel of the period in question)

ii) Summary of the most significant features of the year. Please add any comments you wish to make on the astrology in your particular case.

I have a Moon/Uranus conjunction in the 11^th house.  Uranus rules my natal sixth.  Transiting Uranus as been alternately opposing my natal first house Mercury and coming near conjunct to my Desc.  My father died suddenly (Mercury rules natal 10^th), my beloved young cat died suddenly and traumatically (Uranus rules the sixth) and traumatically, and my mother took a sudden turn for the worse and has been bedridden for months (Moon Uranus conjunction) and is now on chemo to help resolve an inexplicable medical issue.  My day to day life is utterly changed.  None of these things could have been predicted a year ago.  I almost lost my niece, too (the seventh house is the fifth from the third—my brother’s daughter), but thankfully her ascending Pluto saved her.  There have been a lot of endings, which I attribute to the fact that natal Uranus is tightly opposing both Chiron and the Black Moon in my natal chart.  The upside is that, professionally, things have never been better (Uranus sextiles natal Mercury/10^th house ruler, from the 11^th).  A tremendous irony.  But it’s left me antsy, and very aware that was was given could be taken away in a flash.  What it has taught me, very clearly, is that transits always reflect their natal placements, no matter if they hit something exactly or not.  Uranus was a few degrees away from my Desc and a few from exact to my Mercury, but it didn’t matter because Mercury/Uranus is one of the tightest aspects in my natal chart.

iii) Brief evaluation of the significance of the year relative to other years in your life (in as much as one can do this!) and whether the Jupiter/Uranus effect as defined in the introductory Notes was in your opinion able to be seen – or not.

There is no question that there has been more ruthless change in this past year than in any other I have ever experienced.  I have to reset all of my patterns.  Nothing has remained standing.

Our Collective Life

(I realise yet again, that some of you may not wish to bother commenting on world affairs, but it would be interesting to get your brief take, if you feel so inclined! Please indicate which country is your main focus in making any comments)

iv) General Overview of the year (NOTE: nothing in writing here – just mark x against the most appropriate category)

Did you notice anything significant in your own country/the wider world during this year?

Very much so XXX

Moderately so

Mildly so

Not at all

v) Any comments on March 10 to March 11 – eg was there a key event/development in your own country/the wider world which struck you as highly significant and in tune with the planetary symbolism?

I think we all witnessed revolution at work, all across the globe.  Most surprising was Obama’s return to favour in the polls.  It’s almost Alice in Wonderland-like.

AND FINALLY….

vi) Any other comments by way of conclusion?

War, earthquake, tsunami, ecological disaster, revolution enforced from without and within.  I think Uranus should be happy with his partnership with Jupiter.  One thing we didn’t consider enough as astrologers was the Pluto effect that lingered—Pluto affecting the cardinal point guaranteed that death was on Uranus’ heels.  For me, personally, as well as globally.  It was a bloody revolution and its toll was high.

Spring 2010 – Spring 2011: The Jupiter/Uranus volunteers sum up

At last, we have arrived at the big summing-up of our ten volunteers’ experiences from mid-March 2010 to mid-March 2011. Readers new to this year-long project following the changeful lives of our dedicated band of researchees should click HERE to access the whole Archive, set out chronologically.

“Giorgio”(28) “Maria” (32) “Harry”(41) “Eve”(51) “Alicia” (53)“Kathy” (54) “Caroline” (58) “Louis” (60)”Fiona”(61) and “Barbara”(81) : this is the group of ten volunteers who have been  generously opening a window on their lives since the Spring of 2010 – to enable the rest of us to see ‘astrology in action‘.

(Throughout the whole project I have asked participants to  disclose in detail only what feels comfortable to be published. )

A Year Summarised: mid-March 2010 to mid-March 2011

Firstly, I gave the group some brief Notes to set a reminder context to focus their feedback:

“……Jupiter conjunct Uranus is a combination of energies regarded as dynamic, unusual, disruptive, expansive, unpredictable – breaking down the old order, stimulating breakthroughs to new levels of expression and understanding, individually and collectively. It is most powerfully connected at a collective level to radical and disruptive environmental, social, political and technological shifts and breakthroughs……”

Secondly, I asked them for a General Overview of the period, as follows:

Did your life’s experiences during the year fit the Jupiter/Uranus ‘signature’ as briefly described in the notes above? (Bear in mind that any planetary energy can strike a ‘dumb note’ with you, but be vividly observable in the life/lives of family or and/or friends and/or significant others)

Key: 1 = Very Much So/2 = Moderately So/ 3 =  Mildly So/4 = Not at All

1 “Giorgio”(28)

1 “Maria” (32)

1 “Harry”(41)

1“Eve”(51)

1 “Alicia” (53)

1 “Kathy” (54)

1 “Caroline” (58)

2 “Louis” (60)

2 “Fiona”(61)

1 “Barbara”(81)

Spring Equinox 2011 and The Big Picture

After nearly two years of commentary and research on Jupiter/Uranus conjunctions, with special focus on the 2010/11 one in Aries and Pisces, I am nearly done (in more ways than one! Being obsessed may be absorbing, but it is a tad tiring….) It will soon be time for me to move on to other things.

Whilst I await their summing-up of the year 2010/11 from my ten volunteers who have stayed with the project all the way through, I am publishing a series of posts of a long essay I have just finished, reflecting on what  Jupiter/Uranus conjunctions can tell us not only about our past, but also about our future….

Jupiter/Uranus is now settling into a new 14-year cycle, continuing with its ancient symbolic task of “seeing no limits, as it challenges old frontiers and reveals startling new vistas of experience and discovery”. As a human community, we have begun a new voyage into the Unknown. Comfort and security are never key features of such voyages….

Join me on this last journey of reflection, exploration and discovery by reading though the posts listed below, as they appear. Enjoy!

Spring Equinox 20.3.2011

Jupiter meets Uranus–the wider world reacts! “Tales from the Wild Ride” Part 14

On 7th,8th and 9th February 2011, you have seen what the third and last Jupiter/Uranus conjunction of 2010/11 brought to the already disrupted lives of  “Giorgio”(28) “Maria” (32) “Harry”(41) “Eve”(51) “Alicia” (53)“Kathy” (54) “Caroline” (58) “Louis” (60)”Fiona”(61) and “Barbara”(81) : the group of ten volunteers who have been  generously opening a window on their lives since the Spring of 2010 – to enable the rest of us to see ‘astrology in action‘.

Today you can read their  vivid and wide-ranging ‘takes’ on what have been the most important collective events from “Tales of the Wild Ride” Phase 3 – from Autumnal Equinox 2010 to Winter Solstice 2010, through to the first week of January 2011.

(Iceland) Three events occurred in November and December that were very remarkable: the Korean crises (near-war), the Wikileaks worldwide disclosures, and the talks of the Euro collapse as the Irish  asked for a bail-out along many street protests in Europe.

Maria Aged 32

Midterm elections and all the so called “Independents” flipping over to vote Republican as a way of protesting the Administration’s policies. The compromise that went on that resulted in the extension of Unemployment benefits, but also the extension of Bush’s tax cuts (Saturn in Libra). The first person cured of HIV (Neptune/Chiron conjunction in Aquarius). The Australian floods (Jupiter/Uranus conjunction in Pisces). The political shooting in Tuscon, Arizona.

Harry Aged 41

Here in the States we had the Midterm Elections which predictably upset the Democratic controlled apple cart which really felt like the People tapping into their Uranus-driven need to shake things up.  We also saw an unusual amount of snow and ice storms in places that don’t usually get them (the South, for instance) with even stranger weather overseas with more snow in Europe and now historic flooding in Australia, all of which feel positively Jupiter in it all being a bit too much.  And, of course most recently, the shootings in Arizona.  In fact, there were several shootings — not as newsworthy, though — which took place throughout the States in the weeks leading up to the Arizona shootings.  Seems a lot of people are having difficulty channeling the unpredictable energy of Uranus and Jupiter.

Eve Aged 51

There was again lots of flooding in many parts of the world.

Alicia Aged 53

The political upheavals continue, but seem to have mellowed out from the outright hatred and rebellion that marked the beginning of the period.  The president’s approval rating, as of today, is 58%–rather shocking, as when he was elected it was only 53%.  There seems to be a sudden upswing in positive thinking, with more people convinced the economy will improve.  I think there was a general feeling of global instability and the fear that accompanies it during the transits, which seems to be abating.

There also seems to be a great deal of debate about how we connect, and the future of communication—social networking, etc.  The film, The Social Network, is on top of everyone’s ‘must see’ list—the story of Facebook.  There seems to be a lot of debate about the importance of ‘real’ presence as opposed to the lure of ‘virtual’ presence (through texting, etc.).  I read an article that predicted that phone conversations will be passé soon.  Everyone will be texting.  Thumbs at the ready.

I think the big question is, “Have we moved forward, or have we just been shaken up?”  I’d like to think we’ve found some filaments of progress, but most people I’ve spoken to about this feel as if they’ve just been whizzed through a blender.

(Finland) As soon as Pluto went direct the corruption scandal involving our ex-pm and his party surfaced again in a big way.  Now he is under police investigation.

12 October, 2010 TV discussion about the rights of homosexuals to a marriage in church started a mass movement out of the church. In 2 wks more than 40000 people resigned from the church (by the end of the year the number reached 80000). This is all Uranus and Jupiter in Pisces, Pluto in Capricorn stuff.

30 November, 2010 the cabin crew of the two main airlines in Finnair went on strike (Mars square Jupiter effect I think).

30 November, 2010 NASA promised a very important announcement regarding extraterrestrial life (Uranus SD). From NASA press release:  “NASA will hold a news conference at 2 p.m. EST on Thursday, Dec. 2, to discuss an astrobiology finding that will impact the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life.”

18 December, 2010, Chaos in air (again) as most of Europe is grounded because of snow. Mercury R square Jupiter

29 December, 2010: Main paper in Finland wrote: Anarchism on the rise. Front page on foreign news section about this subject. Completely new take and approach by the paper. So Mercury R in Sagittarius and Pluto in Capricorn, Uranus/Jupiter conjunction approaching.

(UK) It seems clear that everything is changing, though the powers that be will try their best to stop it.  Wiki-leaks, UK Uncut, student protests, tax protests and the power of the internet in rallying people to support anti-establishment agendas all mark a sea-change in the way that dissent is organized.  It may not be successful but it is a start.  The weather also seems to be providing a dissident drum beat.

Grief obliterates a great deal besides the dead person.  I can vaguely recall my usual outrage and indignation at various political events in this country- The Nov. elections and the take over of the House of Representatives by the Republicans, but mostly I continued to worry about the environment and the planet and Global Climate Change.  And human stupidity and short sightedness.

Barbara Aged 81

The biggest event was the November elections in America with the Republican Party winning back the House of Representatives. Looks like more gridlock in our future.

NOTE: I will be sending out the Final Questionnaire in mid-March 2011, asking my ten researchees for their brief summary of Spring 2010 – 2011.

I will be asking them to evaluate the significance of the above year relative to other years in life ( in as much as one can!) and whether the Jupiter/Uranus effect  (which I will briefly re-define) was in their opinion able to be seen – or not.

PERSONAL LIFE

A) General Overview:

Q: Did you experience anything significant of an inner/outer nature  which was ‘out of the ordinary run of life’ during this time? (Bear in mind that any planetary energy can strike a ‘dumb note’ with you, but be vividly observable in the life/lives of family or and/or friends and/or significant others)

1 = Very Much So/ 2 = Moderately So/ 3 =  Mildly So/4 = Not at All

“Caroline” (58): (1)

“Louis” (60): (2)

“Fiona”(61): (2)

“Barbara”(81): (1)

B)  Summary of the most significant facets of this time:

(Can you relate the astrological significators I have set out to what your diaries tell you? eg to particularly important events/occurrences/shifts of understanding or perception which cast things in a new light, etc. If you can’t be that specific, do not worry! Just provide what seems relevant to you)

The Jupiter-Uranus conjunction has been conjoining the cusp of my natal IC and while I had expected this transit to challenge my perception of my past, even to pull at the deepest roots of family and home, I also knew that Uranus being the wild child of the zodiac and terrifyingly unpredictable can never be fully imagined……

Even though nothing of keen interest happened on the dates above the period between equinox and solstice brought to me the opportunity to revisit my past and for a brief passage of time re-enter a profession I left in 1994. In March 2010 I returned to the city of my birth with a vague idea of living there after many years away and discovered ( Aries) that I felt alien(Uranus) of a life where I once felt I belonged ( 4^th house).

With this discovery came painful experiences teaching me (Jupiter) about my deeper needs (4^th house).  Themes of nurturing, security, belonging ( 4^th house) came to the foreground as I wrestled with how “to be” (Aries) in what now felt like a foreign environment ( Jupiter).

I am also experiencing my second Saturn Return transiting my natal 10^th house opposing the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction, adding significant pressure to re-evaluate (Libra Saturn) what I accomplished the past thirty years. With a helping hand from the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction, and a Saturn-Pluto square in 2010, I have been breaking down emotional scaffolding that was supporting obsolete feelings.  I have had to wrestle with issues of dependency, disappointment, and self-protection in myself and in others.

By mid-November I was making plans to leave my native country in search for a country, community, more suited to my decision to live a simple, no thrills life. I have left my native culture for a culture unknown to me ( Jupiter) and fully aware that the roots ( 4^thhouse) I wish to grow will require time ( Saturn).

I feel a greater clarity (Uranus) about the life I want to live than before the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction, and while my life is not any less complicated than it was, this transit has removed the last remaining pretense from my past.  Uranus is the archetype of the great liberator and I admit to feeling free from many perceptions of my past.

My work ahead is building structures, creating relationships, that can strengthen my sense of belonging. My life is vibrating with uncertainty and I haven’t a clue of what to do except trust my decision to seek a more simple life.

This was a period marked by much European travel and connections with people from different countries and backgrounds – from America to China, Japan and Singapore.  It seemed to offer the prospect of a less parochial future.  I suppose that in the early part of December, I was sure that I had changed substantially over the past 12 months in attitude, values and outlook though I only realise this now.  2010 was a year of great change in my attitude to work and how it should be carried out – the previous ways, as still practiced by most of the people I work with, seem tired and irrelevant.  It’s an uncomfortable feeling on the one hand – who would employ me if they knew what I really thought? But there is an inner warmth of knowing that there are new ways of doing things and that I can participate in bringing that about.

Mostly, it was fallout from my daughter’s father’s death, digesting it as it were, to mix the  metaphor.  I did get very interested in the Lunar Nodes in astrology and my  interest in astrology was revitalized.  I have been studying and studying the Nodes of many of the charts in my collection trying to get my own fix on them.  I had never been interested in them before.  Perhaps I shall be propelled back into business with Jupiter over my Mid Heaven soon and Uranus later in the year.  Who knows?

A good friend and neighbor died Dec. 15, 2010.  Her husband has 0 Aries Rising.

I have been tracking the J/U conjunction in friends’ charts.  The day of the J/U conjunction was the day of a very successful hip replacement of a friend.  She is marvelously improved even though I thought it was the most baleful day to do surgery possible. I am encouraged by this to be unanfraid of these titanic astrological changes coming up, as it is always a problem –  how not to use astrology to scare yourself..

I also feel very changed personally.  I don’t feel like operating out of my Cancer Rising, babying and nurturing everyone.  Have stopped calling a great many people back which feels weird, but I compulsively nurture people and I would like some more time and energy for myself.  Seems like there is endless drama in everybody’s life and I’d rather pay attention to something else right now.

I continue to be mostly uninterested in my usual pursuits of knitting and spinning, which is alarming considering how much wool and knitting lie around this house.  I should start ripping out unfinished knitting projects from years ago that I am bored with , but I have yet to do so.  I’m finding it hard to finish even a pair of socks which I could really use.

October 2, 2010 (T Mercury opposite T Uranus)
Turned on furnace from cool to heat, but it didn’t start.
Repairman determined that a bird on dropped down the chimney into furnace.  After the bird was removed, furnace worked perfectly. This has NEVER happened to me before.

October 5, 2010 (T Mercury opposite N Uranus & sq T Pluto)
My cousin moved and gave me her sofa which I gave to my son who really needed it.
Had lunch with three adult children of a very dear friend who is deceased. All live out of town/state now. A real reunion since I had not seen them in a very long time.

October 20, 2010 (T Mars trine T Jupiter)
My cousin died.
Son having trouble with his car, again! Repairs will be costly.

October 22, 2010 (T Mars square T Neptune and T Mercury sextile T Pluto)
Mortuary to pay respects to cousin.
Left for weekend in Michigan with my sister and her daughter to see my brother and his wife who came from Massachusetts to see their granddaughter who had recently entered the convent.  Taking this trip was a big decision. I never travel anymore, but since my abscessed tooth was healed, I felt well enough to tackle the trip. We had a great time and I’m glad I went. My sister is 88 and my brother is 86, so who knows how many more opportunities we will get to be together.

November 3, 2010
Had third (and final) root canal procedure. Endodontist had to cut into gum at bottom of tooth to clean out canal. Very painful but it took care of the problem.

November 4, 2010 (T Venus sextile N Neptune and T Mercury trine T Jupiter)
My cousin had promised me that her car would be mine after her death, but she did not state that clearly to her only daughter and heir. Without going into lengthy detail, I’ll just say that her daughter gave the car to her friend who then gave me her car, which was much older and required $1500.00 worth of repairs. I had not had my son’s car repaired in anticipation of getting my cousin’s car. As it turned out my son liked the new car, however, that meant we had to sell his old car to recoup the money spent on repairs for its replacement.  I was under a great deal of stress until I actually sold the car, which wasn’t until November 11, 2010 (the day after T Mercury turned Retrograde). I knew it was not a good idea to buy/sell a car under Rx Mercury, but had no choice.  I actually sold the car to someone on Facebook and she was aware Mercury was Rx at the time.

November 9, 2010 (T Mercury square N Neptune)
Someone came to check out my son’s car for sale and returned it to our garage. This morning when my son left for work, he discovered the person who put the car away last night locked the garage door which we had no key for.  As you can see the whole period was crazy with unbelievable, never-before-things happening.  Stress, stress, stress.

December 2010
Bad weather (cold and snowy) all month.  Had bronchitis and coughing spells all month due to stress and cold weather. All the energy I enjoyed in October after clearing up tooth infection was now gone again. Just one weird thing after another continued to happen.

Looking forward to the solar eclipse on January 4, 2011. The last two solar eclipses on this date (1992 – T Jupiter trine T Uranus which was conjunct solar eclipse Sun/Moon and 1973 – T Jupiter which was conjunct solar eclipse Sun/Moon square T Uranus) were major turning points in my life and I am optimistically looking forward to a turn-around in my life.

TO BE CONTINUED……with feedback from all ten on how they briefly perceived “Our Collective Lives” during the period in question:
