Unpredictable Uranus is ending his sojourn in Pisces and will soon enter irascible Aries. Following a period of reluctantly dealing with the real world, Uranus steps up to proclaim personal freedom. This is not the freedom bell that Uranus usually rings for everyone, but the unabashed self-proclamation of “My Rights, Every Day!” The Lone Gunman in this cardinal t-square, Uranus will feel a strong urge to rebel against the personal restrictions of Saturn in partner-oriented Libra and the new rules imposed by Pluto on his seemingly stodgy brother, Capricorn. It is the harnessing of this new head-butting energy that will open the door and safely deliver us to a brighter future.
