Acceding to the Necessity of a New Life Path
The Saturn/Neptune conjunction at 0 Aries may be the most important and consequential transit of our lifetimes, bar none. Occurring at the zero point of the zodiac, it heralds any entirely new global paradigm. And each time other planets will aspect this degree, the contours of how this will affect us become more evident.
Mars and then Mercury will light up the 0 Aries degree when then enter the sign on April 10th and April 16th respectively. More pieces of the puzzle will fall into place as well as next moves on the world stage, particularly in reference to the war with Iran.
This month there will also be several interactions with Pluto in Aquarius via the Taurus planets as well as an activation of the Saturn/Neptune conjunction at 0 Aries. While this can be a sexual or financial encounter, underlying it is a question of values.
Additionally, Uranus will move back permanently into Gemini for the next 8 years and this will affect all of the mutable signs as they race toward developing and communicating a new future.
We're just beginning the most important journey of our lives as we are called upon to step into our personal power and follow our dharma.

beauty (the earth) and the beast (technology)
Similar to planets at the Aries point setting off the Saturn/Neptune conjunction, personal planets aspecting Pluto will continue to fill out the story of how this transit will impact our lives. Pluto in Aquarius will be pushing for technocratic future while this month, the Sun and Venus in Taurus will be arguing for humanity and the physical realm.
Notice how your desires will impact or be frustrated by the presence of Plutonian forces in our lives.
We will either bring more humanity to the proceedings or be rebuffed in the process here:
ARIES - you have a strong desire for monetary success, what kind of future work will allow for this growth?
TAURUS - you prefer a slow pace and one on one interactions but the jobs of the future may be totally digital and not local
GEMINI - yes, you can adapt more readily than most but you still love pleasures and luxury and how can you reconcile this with a virtual world view
CANCER - you prefer to meet people in the real world, but with dating, are your forced onto the apps?
LEO - you're more of a traditionalist and human connected, however your partner is all in on a technological focused world
VIRGO - you're trying to reconcile your beliefs in tangible acheivement with a reality that seems to only care about external algorithms
LIBRA - is it worth investing in digital art?
SCORPIO - you enjoy regular encounters with your partner, in this case, wfh seems to work for you
SAGITTARIUS - how to make sure you maintain healthy lifestyle habits and not get carried away with future-tripping, will too much time online make you sick?
CAPRICORN - you love the beauty of the natural world or hand-made art. Will you be able to use digital currency to purchase these things?
AQUARIUS - you are being forced to change your entire life hence you crave some comforting daily routines
PISCES - meeting with like-minded people takes the edge off of worrying about a potentially challenging future
Mars into Aries April 10th (setting off Saturn/Neptune conjunction)
Mercury into Aries April 16th
words and actions matching up
Around the time of last month's spring equinox, tensions in the Middle East became more pronounced as military forces planned attacks on natural gas facilities in Iran. A dangerous move for much of the commercial world that depends on this commodity source for many manufacturing purposes.
The Iran war coincides with or is one manifestation of the Saturn/Neptune conjunction at 0 Aries and we will learn more about the trajectory of events each time a personal planet aligns with this 0 Aries point.
Mars moving into 0 Aries on April 10th followed by Mercury on April 16th presage new developments in this uncalled-for conflict. Mars is particularly egregious as it relates to aggression and disorder.
Mercury may relay more news on this front and this will be the case every time a personal planet aspects 0 Aries in the years to come.
On a positive front, Mars and Mercury at 0 Aries point to initiatory actions that can move your life forward. While the war rages on (and will rage on for some time in some form), we are still being called upon to build a new life for ourselves. Hence the helpful manifestations include starting projects, communicating your truth, being courageous and heroic in some aspect of life.
Where can you use the warrior spirit to your advantage?
ARIES - you can start a new business or new relationship at this time
TAURUS - you can slay the family karma and change the epigenetic signature for your lineage to come
GEMINI - speaking truth to power, connecting like-minded souls in a worthwhile humanitarian cause
CANCER - embarking on a new career path
LEO - expanding your mind literally or figuratively through travel and learning
VIRGO - considering new financial investment vehicles
LIBRA - improving your relationship or beginning a new one if single
SCORPIO - improving your health, discovering work of service
SAGITTARIUS - a new love affair or creative project
CAPRICORN - creating a new family dynamic, a potential residential move if desired
AQUARIUS - creating community, expressing your opinion in person or in print
PISCES - starting a new side business or building the current one to the next level
Uranus back into Gemini April 27th
the future is now
Uranus the planet of radical change moves back into Gemini for the next 8 years. After 7 years in Taurus, it had dipped into Gemini last summer so we might have gotten a taste of what areas of our lives demanded distinct forward motion. Uranus retrograded back into Taurus for the last time this past November and has completed its tour this month.
While the previous Uranus in Taurus transit dealt with changes in values, particularly money, Uranus in Gemini is more focused on new developments in communication tools or methods. Early childhood education is likely to be an area of great reform.
Previous Uranus in Gemini transits marked the development of inventions such as the telephone, telegraph, television and earlier the Guttenberg press. All of these technologies expanded knowledge and connection between people, whether for good or ill. The root word in many of these inventions is "tele" the transmission of thought.
How will we be connecting and communicating in the near future? Of course, the concurrent transit of Pluto in Aquarius can speak of extreme technological breakthroughs or breakdowns. Electricity (an Aquarius energy) can also undergo expansion or contraction based on other world events regarding energy availability.
I sadly think that initially, we will experience the challenging version of grid failures, overuse of energy due to data centers and the war in the Middle East affecting energy supplies worldwide.
Of course, thanks to Nikolai Tesla, scientist and the military have already discovered free energy in the form of cold fusion, but will the oil and gas cartels allow this to come onboard? Only time will tell - and the state or desperation of world leaders.
In our personal lives, we can experience quite rapid surprising events all meant to liberate us from situations that are stagnant or disempowering. So if something/someone is taken from you (but Uranus is transiting your chart) it is a necessary step toward you becoming more of your true self.
Where are the most lightening advances going to happen in your life?
ARIES - in the realm of community
TAURUS - in your money-making capacities
GEMINI - your understanding of your true purpose
CANCER - your recognition of family trauma nd the elimination/healing of it
LEO - your social network
VIRGO - your professional aspirations
LIBRA - your view of the world
SCORPIO - your intimate connections
SAGITTARIUS- new and different partners
CAPRICORN- in your everyday life
AQUARIUS - in your romantic or artistic endeavors
PISCES - how and where you live
Concurrent with this transit will be the movement of Neptune in Aries for the next 15 years. The last time both of these planets were in Aires and Gemini respectively, the United States was in the midst of a civil war. Can we find unity in the midst of discord? Can we dispel our minor differences in favor of a more unified whole?
Despite our many issues as a nation, The United States still represents the highest notion of freedom - at least as an ideal. Hence, our downfall or failure to attain this vision has disillusioned citizens around the world because if not here, where can the concept of universal freedom exist?
The best use of Uranus in Gemini is to understand the relativity of truth and that in the end we are all brothers and sisters in humanity. If there is an enemy, it is not each other but outside forces which desire us to splinter and lose our moral and spiritual centers.
We are in history-making times and while chaotic and challenging, we have the opportunity to dharmically create the world we want. 0 Aries, the zero point of the Saturn/Neptune conjunction is where we can build a new dream once the detritus of the past is pushed away.
So consider what you would like your life and the world to look like in the next few decades and rather than dwell on the past, focus one-pointedly on the goal of a more enlightened humanity.
