Outer Collisions

A mixed bag of a week during which the Sun will aspect all outer planets

September 9, 2022

The week between September 11th and September 18th will be an interesting one.

On Sept 11th, the Sun will trine Uranus.

On Sept 16th, it will oppose Neptune.

On Sept 18th, it will trine Pluto.

So within the span of just 7 days, the Sun will activate all these three planets, the planets that define the eras of our lives.

Let's start with Uranus. Uranus represents sudden uncharacteristic behavior or event. Something that makes you or your life look chaotic, erratic, unpredictable, inexplicable. The planet has been transiting the sign of Taurus since March 2019 and as the Sun trines it this week, we are likely to get more clear hints as to what it has been trying to achieve in the Taurean sector of our lives.

The North Node of the Moon is keeping Uranus a company this year, so gaining a sharper clarity around this sector of your life can greatly help you in navigating these transits and not just navigating them but making the most of them. Uranus is currently moving Rx and will Rx all the way back to 14 degrees of Taurus, meaning it will be going over the mid-degrees of this sign two more times wrapping up the changes there. The mid-section of any event (in this case - Uranus's transit through Taurus) is of prime importance as it tells us something about the core of the issue. So it pays off to pay attention to the days when this planet is heavily activated.

Neptune, on the other hand, is about ... beautiful hangovers. And it is in a sign that is all about ... beautiful hangovers. Neptune rules Pisces and in this sign it is most powerful. It floods everything with those beautiful feelings that you know are not rooted in reality but they do feel other-worldly (or outer-worldly). Escapism into daydreamt realms is a signature Neptunian phenomenon. As the Sun opposes this planet this week, we might be tempted to do just that. We are likely to experience something incredibly beautiful but the danger always is that we might get swept away in imaginary worlds. Savour the feeling but never forget to make a plan B. Because Neptune is not known for producing solid, tangible results.

And lastly, Pluto. Pluto is transiting the Anertic (final) degrees of Capricorn. Here comes the culmination of all the work that this planet has been doing in the Capricorn sector of our lives. As the Sun trines Pluto, we are likely to see things more deeply, more clearly. We are likely to feel more intensity around the Cap themes playing out in our lives. Power struggles, secrets, intensity but also deeper understanding leading to stability and roots.

Study the events of this next week, take note of your thoughts and feelings and of the different aspects of your life that are being majorly activated to deepen your own understanding of your self, destiny and purpose.
