Uranus stations retrograde at 18 Pisces on June 23, 2007
I've been feeling the need for change. It's little things, like not wanting to come back home after running an errand, or wanting to totally change my routine. I feel restless, aware of the repetitiveness of my life. I do derive fulfillment from work, family, dance, and so on, but there have been no awakenings, no 007 James Bond car chases, no jumping from airplanes, no being swept off my feet. Everything's just the same.
Usually, that's OK. I have Virgo Rising -- I like consistency, I like having a schedule. I've found activities from which I derive pleasure, and I attend to them without fail, week after week.
But something's gotta give! Uranus, the planet of sudden change and revolution, conjoined my Pisces Sun in March, and it's about to go retrograde (apparently backwards-moving) on Saturday. It's been slowing to a standstill, and I can feel it. Yet I'm not sure how to shake things up!
I recall at the first conjunction, I IM'd with a reader whose progressed chart was my natal chart (except her progressed Moon was a few degrees from exact to my Moon). I felt that was meaningful. When Uranus stationed a few minutes from my Sun June 2006, I had a major spike in blog traffic. These were both unexpected events, and both concerned my relationship to astrology, which is governed by Uranus.
So I have an idea of what may be ahead. But I can't know exactly what it will be, as Uranus' catch phrase is "Expect the Unexpected." Yet I want to grease the wheels, to be prepared for whatever comes my way. I'd prefer to take the wheel, but I don't know where I'm driving. Hence, I feel like a passive (Pisces?) recipient of whatever Uranus brings my way. The attitude of receiving is better than defending against, but in the meantime, I feel like I'm just waiting, because I don't know how to do an overhaul by myself.
I did a tarot reading asking "What will Uranus rx bring?" and I got FIVE major arcana cards:

Well, I totally relate to that feeling of waiting waiting waiting for something to happen. I would like to change my life by finally taking charge of my destiny and facing reality. This week it's become very clear that I've held on to an illusion that was keeping me in amber, as it were. And letting go of this illusion is very hard for me, since I seem to think that to divest myself of it is like giving up a dream. It's also related to anger. I know none of this makes any sense in the general way that I've described but I see it as a manifestation of that Saturn/Neptune opposition. I would also like to get rid of all the crap that is holding me back, internal erroneous messages that keep me anchored to stasis. I'm going through a Pluto transit so hopefully I'll be successful in taking out the crap.

Anonymous 4:27pm, What do you mean?
Be careful what you ask for!
I'm signing a lease for an apartment close to the city tomorrow after work - just after the solstice. Uranus is stationing directly opposite my Virgo Sun in the 2nd house (and within a degree of squaring my Saturn 19 Sag). I have to rent out the condo I own out here in the countryside. So all this should shake things up! I've also started seeing someone, but I swing wildly on how I feel about it/him - the whole freedom/security thing in the extreme (I have Uranus conjunct Ascendant/Moon natally, and I think that's getting stirred up, too, now that Saturn has moved off my Leo Moon). I'm hardly able to sleep. Sigh. My Virgoan intestinal system is not happy!
My asc is at 19 pisces so I'm going to be on the lookout for what this brings me. I know I need a huge change, but I'm stuck. I've got Pluto sitting on my moon right now and can think of nothing else except my obsessive, jealous thoughts.
I would love to move after living in this house since 1977. What I fear is that I will be here for the remainder of my life. I'm a sun/moon Taurus and I've heard that Taureans rarely if ever move.
I'd also like to go back to work but don't know what to do! I've been waiting for something to challenge me into a new career path.
