Uranus in Pisces

[jamma]

I was brooding on another thread about all the current Pisces transits and how I felt "at sea" (and not liking it -- see copy of post, below) ...
Then, I took another look at my natal and think I may have spotted something: Uranus in Pisces is directly opposite my Psyche in Virgo, and the goddess has been on the receiving end of Uranus' shake-rattle-and-roll energy ...
Could this be the cause of my distress during this run of planetary transits through Pisces? ...
I'd never considered how I must rely on Psyche-in-Virgo's analytical earthiness to ground my watery nature until now that she's being inundated by tidal waves ...
And Uranus' seismic energy might explain why I've been "trying to make a quarter out of 25 cents" with Mystery Man, who clearly feels nothing romantic for me ...
His Sun is conjunct my Psyche, so he's the personification of that "life buoy" (or perhaps atoll, now that I realize it's earth I'm craving) in the sea of Piscean unconsciousness ...

Kim suggests I just let go and submerge myself in the Pisces energy of all these transits, but maybe I should get poor Psyche a beach towel and some sunscreen before I take myself off to play in the water ...

This forum is better than therapy!!!

Today Eros is conjunct the Sun at 9 Pisces (I think -- hanging onto "facts" seem hard lately) ... in a few hours, PST, the Moon will join them ...
At 10 Pisces, Uranus is conjunct my natal Cupid ...
these feel like they are already affecting my my natal Ceres and Sun/Moon midpoint at 11 Pisces ...
Meanwhile, Mercury is about to hit my progressed Venus at 26 Pisces ...

This all sounds like it ought to be FUN, right? ... but I feel like I'm in the middle of the ocean of illusion, desperate for a life buoy of reality to grab onto ...

Hi Jamma!

That’s an interesting connection with Psyche. Do you remember how she ‘handled’ challenges, tasks and events?

Basically, she didn’t! She freaked out, got hysterical and lost the plot. (I’m not suggesting you emulate her at this point though!). Psyche’s way was to ‘give up’, to surrender (re-read the chapter of the Eros draft “mythology’ for the details”). She didn’t fight or push forward, she let go…and allowed nature, the great mystery (which is Venus, ironically the one giving her the tasks) to sort things out for her. And they were sorted.

I think this is a model of Psyche’s ability to let go and trust life…even if she’s kicking and screaming as she does so!

Uranus opposition challenges her with new tasks, a chance to grow psychically and spiritually. He brings sudden and unexpected inner and outer events that can seem, at the time, like too much to handle. Psyche will find a way, though not with the sword (not with the intellect). She finds a way by realizing that the ways is already there and trusting that she is on it (usually she just has a nap or goes to sleep for the night and by morning, everything is right!)

It may take longer, in this ‘reality’ than over night, but it can work in that way.

Look also at your midpoints—That Sun/Mercury MP at 11 Pisces is getting quite a shake up, as is your Sun/Moon MP. Much is changing in your life in ways that do seem ‘out of control’….

It might help to write a little fairytale about it…I was wandering through a dark forest and suddenly the water’s rose …I had to swim fast to find land…

Use this medium, perhaps, to let your unconscious fully express the feelings right now (without editing! It’s a process, not at novel…at least at this point!)

Who else has Uranus transiting Psyche right now??? Comments?

Uranus has already transited my natal Amor & Juno in Pisces, is currently conjuct my natal Sun & Node, is trine my natal Jupiter & Ascendant and then will move on to my natal Ceres, Venus & Psyche. I've also got transiting Pluto sitting exactly on my natal Moon & Eros, opposite my Vertex, squaring my natal Pluto, Chiron and Psyche. I have been going through the transformation WRINGER! Calgon, take me away!!!!!!

Uranus' transit is in my 4th house, so talk about a shake up. My marriage ended and I've moved twice in the past 5 months. I feel like I've taken celestial beating lately, but I also feel stronger the more I go through. This has been the toughest time of my life, though. Now throw transiting Eros into the mix and it's REALLY been a strange time.

Hello sopranokris....My Uranus has also been transiting my 4th so I am with you baby!! Although you have had a HUGE shake-up in your life....been there too....you will emerge stronger and ready for a rise from the ashes!

Clearly, there were things in your life which needed transforming....Pluto and Uranus NEVER cease to amaze me as I watch them completely turn over people's lives when needed. That Pluto square Pluto is a doozy and adding in the conj Moon just topped it !! The Uranus transit sitting on your natal Sun and NNode certainly sent you off in new directions!!

Out of curiosity-was there a 'sudden' event with your situation involving Uranus transits? Or did you sense something coming months ago and then 'bam', the light went off ?

Stay tough and hang in there....the phoenix always rises!! (You have Scorp ASC possibly?)

Hugs-

Hi GemStar,

Thanks so much for the encouragement. It's nice to know that other people are going through similar things

To answer your question, I sort of experienced both. I *knew* something was wrong for a while, but just didn't want to admit it. However, the events that unfolded were like lightening and happened so suddenly, it was like the rug was pulled from beneath my feet! And yes, I *do* have Scorpio ASC. I love the phoenix analogy!

I've got a long road ahead, I just have to quit complaining about taking an "astrological beating" and look at everything that's unfolded and what's to come with a different attitude. I noticed that when I really RESISTED the changes, it hit me much harder than when I finally let go and just decided to see where all of this is going to lead me. It's not over by a long stretch, but I'm trying to be flexible and allow the changes to happen. It's so HARD, but I feel much stronger already. Like I'm becoming a new person.

Hang in there. I'm sure you know EXACTLY what it's like with Uranus in the 4th right now.

Hugs to you, too!
