Thank you to David your comment on the previous article. One of the joys of Astrology is to be ready for events to unfold and then observe how we react to those events. I am reminded of my dear friend Rev Gordon Strachan, whose sad death last year robbed the world of a great trailblazing thinker and dear soul. He was a Church of Scotland Minister who loved astrology with a passion. I remember him telling me over one of our many shared lunches in Edinburgh that when he was a History student at Oxford, he realised very early on in his studies that history was cyclical and followed patterns that he couldn’t then understand. It wasn’t until his discovery of astrology that he was able to make sense of it all. His book “The Bible’s Hidden Cosmology”, published by Floris Books, demonstrates the depth of study and passion he brought to the subject. It was originally entitled “Christ and the Cosmos”.
So, back to the article – I think that the key point of Uranus in Aries is an inventiveness that we haven’t even begun to understand in mainstream thinking, yet. The recent work by Bruce Lipton in “Biology of Belief” and Dawson Church’s impressive “The Genie in your Genes” both point to a whole new way of looking at our health and the impact our thoughts have on our genetic makeup. This book stresses the importance of taking more personal responsibility for our own wellness without relying of the Pharmaceutical companies to “cure” us and make us more ill in the process.
Another challenge will come through the banks – aren’t we fed up of them already? New innovative technologies for moving personal money around are already starting to enable people who would not normally get through the front door of a bank in the so called Third World.
Uranus brings all these ideas to the forefront of collective thinking and with Pluto challenging all the new ideas, from Capricorn the sign associated with the establishment, it will be an interesting time to watch everyone line up their ducks over the next 3 or 4 years. With Aries involved some of the technologies may be swallowed up by the military first – much as atomic energy in the form of nuclear fission, was used to make a bomb – rather than nuclear fusion being used to serve humanity by giving us clean, cheap fuel.
