Transiting Uranus square natal Sun - Ends. *****
14° 03` Pisces to 15° 00` Gemini
This major transit could feel like a life crisis, a time of sudden, unexpected upsets and changes in various parts of your life. It can bring about conditions that stimulate disruptive and rebellious behaviors, and it may not be an easy time for you socially. You might find yourself interacting with some rather extreme characters, or friends and groups around you could undergo changes. Also, sudden physical stress or strain could result in spinal injuries (so take special care of your back).
Underlying this transit is a need to be different, to develop your uniqueness and stand out as an individual. Remember this if the times seem stormy. Much of the disruption could come from rigidity and fear when faced with the changes that the universe is demanding. You may react by going rigid, or others may react either by stringently objecting to your behavior, or by themselves behaving in a way that shocks or disturbs you. Either way, you may be able to help this transit go easier by examining your own attitudes. This is because what is happening around you is probably a reflection of your own fears. So confront your own feelings about change, disruption, standing out from the crowd and being thought rebellious or weird. Know that it is good to be unique, and will yourself to be more flexible and spontaneous. Have trust in the process, and you will emerge from this transit with a sense of liberation.
