September 1, 2024: Uranus Stationary, turning Retrograde
The outer planets are astrological indicators of change. Uranus, The Great Awakener, is associated with sudden and unpredictable change - earthquakes, explosions, volcanic eruptions, accidents, and “ah ha moments” that shatter our perception of reality.
This station of Uranus comes at a very busy time. On the same day, Pluto will retrograde back into Capricorn for a final time and the next day (September 2) brings the Virgo New Moon, which will launch the run-up to our next eclipse portal (September 17 – October 2).
In Shamanic Egyptian Astrology, Uranus is allied with Wadjet, the Cobra Kundalini Goddess. Wadjet breaks through blocks in our energy field, thereby releasing the free flow of life force energy. Wadjet energy is exhilarating, jarring and can be challenging. The sudden release of kundalini brings a physical and energetic rush that is by definition destructive. Breaking a block requires strong and focused force.
This Uranian station is at Taurus 27°. Taurus – Hathor in the Egyptian pantheon – grounds life force energy in form. We may see earth-shattering events (earthquakes, volcanic eruptions) during this time, and – as always with Uranus – there will be unpredictability. Uranus/Wadjet will be in a challenging aspect (a square) to both Mercury/Thoth and the Moon/Khonsu. Something surprising may emerge involving individual in leadership roles – a ground shaking revelation or chaotic event. With Pluto dipping back into Capricorn for a final swoop we may see something emerge that is suggestive of issues from the past – a throwback to concerns we’re leaving behind. A blast from the past – or perhaps we might better call it a “last gasp of the past.”
Uranus/Wadjet will be retrograde from September 1 to January 29, 2025.
