The BIG NEWS today is Uranus in Taurus turns Direct at 10:27 AM EST and the North Node and South Node change signs at 2:50 PM EST from Gemini (NN) and Sagittarius (SN) to the North Node in Taurus and the South Node in Scorpio, followed by two (2) aspects to the Leo Moon.

The day begins with Uranus in Taurus turning 'Direct' after having spent the last five (5) months in Retrograde (Rx) motion. Uranus has been Rx since August 19, 2021 at 14 degrees and retrograded (backward) to 10 degrees, where it is today. Now the BIG QUESTIONS you should be asking yourself are, "Why did we need to return to 10 degrees Uranus in Taurus?" and "When was the last time Uranus in Taurus was at 10 degrees 49 minutes?"

The last time Uranus in Taurus was at 10 degrees 49 minutes was back on May 3, 2021. Now he's back for a re-visit at 10 degrees 49 minutes today. This retrograde has taken us back to May 3, 2021 to check-in with ourselves under the subject matter of Taurus. What was going on with your back around May 3, 2021?

Uranus is the Agent of Change, the Rebel Rouser, the Great Awakener, the Tilted Planet, which is shaking you loose to see what falls out. It is interesting to see how people respond to change. It's interesting to see how people respond to pressure. It's interesting to see ourselves respond to pressure, if you are mature enough to go there.

When I act and react like an ass, I like to address it with myself as quickly as possible so I can get passed myself. If others are still an ass, there's nothing I can do about that, I can only do about me. Plus, I find it incredibly brave and courageous to admit mistakes or take responsibility for handling things badly. The quicker the better. When you catch yourself and make the change quickly, then that means the bar is raised and those around you either have to match you, or sit in their thoughts, stuff, whatever for as long as they like. I find raising the bar to be a powerful position. It's part of being a leader. Own it and move on. If others follow great, if not, then they chose their seat. [Keep reading . . . ]

GET YOUR SOLAR RETURN! When the Sun 'Returns' to the same sign, degree and minute as when you were born

Fri. Dec. 24, 2021 Applying degrees begin on Dec. 9, 2020 Exact on Dec. 24, 2021 at 2:17 AM EST Separating degrees end on March 10, 2022

So back to Uranus, let's not forget that Saturn has been squaring Uranus. What a crazy duo to be squaring each other because Saturn is the ancient ruler of Aquarius and Uranus is the modern-day ruler of Aquarius. Aquarius is a fixed sign, along with Leo, Scorpio and Taurus. These signs do not change their mind that easily. They are fixed. So to have "I know (Saturn)" squaring "I know (Uranus)", this makes for no one budging.

Over this past year, Saturn squaring Uranus has shown every one of us just how firm it stands. Have you forgotten? Saturn squaring Uranus has been present IN ALL SOLAR RETURNS from December 9, 2020 until March 10, 2022. Anyone who had a birthday between those dates, which means all of us, had this aspect in our Solar Return. Even more, if you look closer at that span of dates, several months worth of birth dates will have that aspect in their Solar Return for a second time. Most of the winter birth dates from December 9th through March 10th are just flat out not budging. Forget the political stance these birth dates will take, imagine what it would be like to live with someone who flat out will not budge.

Even more, Saturn squaring Uranus was exact three (3) times last year. February 17, 2021, June 14, 2021 and December 24, 2021. All three (3) of those dates are linked to the Monthly Astro Meme page for that date. So you can refresh your memory.

Back in the day when John McCain was running for President, I remember him saying in a speech, and I'm paraphrasing here, "I have never changed my mind on an issue!" Actually, it might have been those exact words. I remember that speech clearly because my reaction was, "Damn! You must be hard to live with and must be a control freak to the nth degree if you cannot and will not change." I mean, why have a conversation with the guy at all? And he was a Virgo (mutable sign.)

While not changing your mind might seem bold, strong, courageous and noble, it sure would make having a conversation difficult. Why even converse? Why even present anything to a person who cannot and will not change their mind? Why dive into any conversation unless it's just to dump and complain about the same thing you might agree on? That's not a conversation, that's just dumping. There are no solutions if no minds change, entertain, think, ponder and weigh. If you already agree with each other, then yay, but if not, why talk? If one cannot be swayed, moved or inclined, what's the use? Why communicate with that person at all? I'm just thinking outloud here. This is not just about bigger issues like vaccination or abortion, this is EVERYTHING! What do you want for dinner? What do you want to watch on TV?

Now we can look back over the past year (since December 9, 2020) all the way through 2021 and into and up to March 10, 2022 and see how no one wanted to budge. Ahhhh, but alas my dear little Astrotators, people are now beginning to slowly budge. Right? On little things and big things. People are getting tired and are now consciously choosing sides for the epic battle. Exciting!

As with anything in Life, sometimes we just don't have it hard enough, until its bad enough, then we change. That's what we do. Think about it. In my book I wrote, "He didn't have to treat me that way to get me to leave!" I yelled it out three (3) times. And what God said back to me was, "Yeah he did." That is what it took. Wow, how eye opening is that?!? That is how we learn. Tons of people are learning all over the world just how bad it has to get. Maybe it is personal, maybe it is professional, maybe it has to do with health, maybe it has to do with family, etc. Either way, as a collective, as a population of people, we are learning what not budging looks like.

I'll throw another nugget your way and let's see how fast you gobble it up. Uranus is the rebel rouser. Okay? Soak that up. Uranus is all about FREEDOM! You cannot and will not tell Uranus what to do and when to do it. Ain't happenin' folks! Uranus is going to turn everything up on its side because it WILL NOT give up its freedom. Ain't happenin' folks. So if you ask me . . . how this will play out with COVID, vaccines, masks and all the bullshit that goes with it, you better get ready for a fight because Uranus has had it.

The parking brake is coming off TODAY and Saturn squaring Uranus will lift off the world in that final degree, minute and second on March 10, 2022.

And more . . Uranus is in the sign of Taurus, the planet of self-worth, which translates into net-worth. Hey, whatever it takes for you to see your worth is what it will be. What's your freedom worth to you? To me it's worth laying it all on the line. Taking my stance outloud while having two (2) businesses is something I have to do. I cannot live my Life in fear. I cannot allow myself to be afraid. I answer to God, not the other guy. My freedom is more important than anything. If I don't have freedom, neither does anyone I Love. URANUS!

Folks, this is so huge because we are really talking about freedom in all ways. Taurus naturally rules the 2nd house of self-worth, morals and values. It is our personal value system.

This is deep, so I need to throw this in here so you get the full picture. The 2nd house is also a sex house. It is naturally ruled by Taurus. It is a personal sex house. Think about this.

The 8th house, which is opposite to the 2nd house, is naturally ruled by Scorpio. The 8th house rules intercourse, sex with another person, the genitalia and desire. The 8th house also rules money with someone else or through other people. It is NOT your personal money. It is money through or with someone else, like a business partner or marriage partner.

The 2nd house, which is opposite the 8th house, is naturally ruled by Taurus. The 2nd house rules sex with yourself. It is the house of masturbation. The 2nd house is personal. The 8th house is with someone else. Got it?

So if the 2nd house is your morals and values, the 8th house is your partner's morals and values.

If the 2nd house is personal and determines your self-worth and value system, then it will dictate your personal income, personal finances and net-worth. Self-worth translates into net-worth. We know this without me even typing it. Right? We know this.

So as your mind goes 'during masturbation', or as your mind goes 'without masturbation', just thinking about sex without even engaging in it with yourself or someone else, this has a lot of say so in your self-worth. This is who you think you are, and what you think you deserve, and you will draw to you THAT vision, or view, or energy, of self-worth.

Now let's ratchet-it-up another level. Today, the North Node moves out of Gemini and into Taurus (the ruler of the 2nd house) and the South Node moves out of Sagittarius and into Scorpio (the ruler of the 8th house).

I'm going to leave you with these thoughts while I run off and have another cup of coffee and then teach my two (2) yoga classes this morning. I have been sitting on my ass since 5:15 AM typing and thinking and now it's time to get up and move. Thank God for my yoga studio. I can't sit here and type, I have a schedule to keep and that keeps my body strong and healthy. I will be back after my classes to address the Nodal movement. IT'S A HUGE DAY!
