This is one of the sig\u00adna\u00adture align\u00adments I exam\u00adined in the overview for 2011<\/a> that is occur\u00adring in Oba\u00adma\u2019s chart and in the chart for the Unit\u00aded States. This is what I wrote then:<\/p>\n

Uranus Square Venus (Apr. 12, Oct. 16, Jan. 31, 2012)<\/em><\/strong>
<\/em><\/strong>Oba\u00adma has his Venus in Can\u00adcer at just under 2\u00b0 of Can\u00adcer; the Unit\u00aded States has its Venus at just over 3\u00b0 of Can\u00adcer. Just as in 2010, when Sat\u00adurn passed over Venus for both, so too this year Uranus will tran\u00adsit their Venus\u2019 togeth\u00ader. The Sat\u00adurn tran\u00adsit was dif\u00adfi\u00adcult since it cre\u00adat\u00aded a feel\u00ading of a lack of self-worth, a lack of val\u00adue which results in all sorts of prob\u00adlems for rela\u00adtion\u00adships. But in the end it serves to clar\u00adi\u00adfy what is more valu\u00adable with\u00adin and around us. Uranus is a very dif\u00adfer\u00adent ener\u00adgy; cre\u00adat\u00ading a dif\u00adfer\u00adent kind of chal\u00adlenge and oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty for the US<\/span> and Obama.<\/em><\/p>\n

Just as the Uranus tran\u00adsit to the US<\/span> Venus<\/a> calls for a new under\u00adstand\u00ading and expres\u00adsion of Amer\u00adi\u00adcan val\u00adues, so too does this mean that this tran\u00adsit to Oba\u00adma\u2019s Venus calls upon him to ful\u00adfill his role as a leader whose pur\u00adpose is to artic\u00adu\u00adlate those chal\u00adlenges and oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adties we face now.<\/em><\/p>\n

Uranus Shocks<\/em><\/strong>
<\/em><\/strong>Uranus is not gen\u00adtle, espe\u00adcial\u00adly when it is form\u00ading, as it is here, a \u201chard\u201d aspect; it opens up new path\u00adways and pos\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adties through shocks, sur\u00adpris\u00ades and upsets. Often\u00adtimes its ini\u00adtial effect can appear as a loss, it requires a sac\u00adri\u00adfice, but its true pur\u00adpose is to break up the old forms of val\u00adue, (to release the spir\u00adit of val\u00adue from a more lim\u00adit\u00aded form of being), so that spirit\/life may cre\u00adate new forms of val\u00adue which are to be expe\u00adri\u00adenced, (in this case, most impor\u00adtant\u00adly, in our rela\u00adtion\u00adships to one anoth\u00ader and to oth\u00ader nations, the 7th House).<\/em><\/p>\n

The chal\u00adlenge of Uranus is met by being open and wel\u00adcom\u00ading of change; Uranus serves to break up old pat\u00adterns that have sti\u00adfled the flow of spir\u00adit and there\u00adby cre\u00adate con\u00addi\u00adtions for a new order. The dan\u00adger is that the upset or chal\u00adlenge will be expe\u00adri\u00adenced as some\u00adthing to fear; reac\u00adtion sets in that actu\u00adal\u00adly brings about more painful shocks and adjust\u00adments that could have been more man\u00adage\u00adable had the ener\u00adgy been allowed to do its work. The oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty of work\u00ading with Uranus is that by being open to new forms and expres\u00adsions of val\u00adue, the per\u00adson or enti\u00adty can keep unfold\u00ading their spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal potential.<\/em><\/p>\n

Spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal Law<\/em><\/strong>
<\/em><\/strong>Spir\u00adit must take on form; it must lim\u00adit itself and become some \u201cthing\u201d in order to be any\u00adthing on the earth plane. But that form is lim\u00adit\u00aded and will even\u00adtu\u00adal\u00adly lose its mean\u00ading, its relevance.\u2026its beau\u00adty. So, the form must be tran\u00adscend\u00aded so that Spir\u00adit can rein\u00adcar\u00adnate into a new form of expres\u00adsion. This process is one of the most fun\u00adda\u00admen\u00adtal spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal laws that gov\u00adern our universe.<\/em><\/p>\n

We do and must try to pro\u00adtect, pre\u00adserve and pass down these forms of val\u00adue as long as we can. How\u00adev\u00ader, whether in great forms of art, or beau\u00adti\u00adful forms of human inter\u00adre\u00adla\u00adtion\u00adship, even in our per\u00adson\u00adal val\u00adues, prin\u00adci\u00adples and laws, at some point the par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar form must be tran\u00adscend\u00aded; spir\u00adit must be free to form anew. One of the prin\u00adci\u00adple agents of such release and ref\u00ador\u00adma\u00adtion is Uranus.<\/em><\/p>\n

Uranus and our Chal\u00adlenge<\/em><\/strong>
<\/em><\/strong>The chal\u00adlenge of Uranus in Aries to Venus in Can\u00adcer is to re-define how we find or cre\u00adate secu\u00adri\u00adty in our lives, all the while our world is in the midst of great changes, (Even greater than we might at first imag\u00adine. I will come back again to this theme of the epic changes ahead, but just know that we have not faced changes as great as this for over 200 years).<\/em><\/p>\n

If we stay attached to the exist\u00ading forms because we are afraid, we will suf\u00adfer. If we re-affirm the spir\u00adit that cre\u00adat\u00aded those forms, we can find a way to renew our sense val\u00adue at the cen\u00adter of our lives, and so forge a new base of secu\u00adri\u00adty to stand upon. When the form is break\u00ading apart, we must get back to the spir\u00adit behind the form; we need to go back to root ener\u00adgies and so restore and re-affirm our spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal truth in renewed forms.  <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Venus<\/em><\/strong>
Uranus is chal\u00adleng\u00ading and break\u00ading up the old forms of Venus in Can\u00adcer. Venus is the plan\u00adet that binds us to one anoth\u00ader through our shared val\u00adues, whose purest and truest expres\u00adsion is found in our love for one anoth\u00ader. In any soci\u00adety and cul\u00adture, what binds us to one anoth\u00ader as a peo\u00adple is what we cre\u00adate with one anoth\u00ader and share with one anoth\u00ader. In any sys\u00adtem, there are ener\u00adgies hold\u00ading it togeth\u00ader and forces pulling it apart. What holds us togeth\u00ader is our love for what we share in as a people.<\/em><\/p>\n

Venus and Amer\u00adi\u00adca<\/em><\/strong>
<\/em><\/strong>With Venus in Can\u00adcer, Amer\u00adi\u00adcans come togeth\u00ader in our love of the indi\u00advid\u00adual, and the sacred\u00adness and dig\u00adni\u00adty that forms our dri\u00adving spir\u00adit of self-deter\u00admi\u00adna\u00adtion. Our myth is the sto\u00adry of the jour\u00adney of the indi\u00advid\u00adual to dis\u00adcov\u00ader and con\u00adnect to their root ener\u00adgies, to be cen\u00adtered upon one\u2019s true self, and so be empow\u00adered to go forth and ful\u00adfill his or her des\u00adtiny. The spir\u00adit of rugged indi\u00advid\u00adu\u00adal\u00adism has been giv\u00aden form in our idyl\u00adlic imagery of \u201cthe pio\u00adneer\u201d, of \u201cthe inven\u00adtor\u201d, of the \u201cper\u00adson of con\u00adscience\u201d, which is ground\u00aded in our fun\u00adda\u00admen\u00adtal belief that one per\u00adson can (and does) make a dif\u00adfer\u00adence. These and many oth\u00ader images are at the core of every Amer\u00adi\u00adcan\u2019s belief in the essen\u00adtial worth of the individual.<\/em><\/p>\n

Yet, at the same time, with our Moon in Aquar\u00adius (and so the ruler of our Venus), we have had to acknowl\u00adedge that an indi\u00advid\u00adual can\u00adnot find them\u00adselves, they can\u00adnot be ful\u00adfilled, they can\u00adnot be \u201cfree\u201d to do what\u00adev\u00ader they wish, because an indi\u00advid\u00adual can\u00adnot have a life of mean\u00ading and pur\u00adpose with\u00adout sig\u00adnif\u00adi\u00adcant asso\u00adci\u00ada\u00adtions with oth\u00ader indi\u00advid\u00adu\u00adals. Here, in Amer\u00adi\u00adca, we came togeth\u00ader, as our founders stat\u00aded in the Dec\u00adla\u00adra\u00adtion of Inde\u00adpen\u00addence, and freely chose to cre\u00adate a new soci\u00adety and in order to do so \u201c\u2026 we mutu\u00adal\u00adly pledge to each oth\u00ader our lives, our for\u00adtunes and our sacred honor.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Venus, Rela\u00adtion\u00adship and Our Sac\u00adri\u00adfice<\/em><\/strong>
<\/em><\/strong>We are formed in and find our mean\u00adings through what we share with one anoth\u00ader. We are not so dif\u00adfer\u00adent from one anoth\u00ader, real\u00adly. Our needs and wants find expres\u00adsion in cer\u00adtain forms because of the cul\u00adture and sub-cul\u00adtures we find our\u00adselves in. The devel\u00adop\u00adment of our \u201cunique\u201d self is only pos\u00adsi\u00adble because of our well-matched capac\u00adi\u00adty to sac\u00adri\u00adfice for one anoth\u00ader. This is the core of the Amer\u00adi\u00adcan expe\u00adri\u00adence of val\u00adue: that to be one\u00adself and be free is found\u00aded upon a love of one anoth\u00ader, that we pledge our alle\u00adgiance to one anoth\u00ader, and so we are will\u00ading to sac\u00adri\u00adfice for one another.<\/em><\/p>\n

The word sac\u00adri\u00adfice means lit\u00ader\u00adal\u00adly \u201cto make sacred\u201d. Sac\u00adri\u00adfice is the key to love and self-ful\u00adfill\u00adment. We make an offer\u00ading; we give up some\u00adthing in order to achieve some\u00adthing. We seek to become bet\u00adter than we were before. To sup\u00adport one anoth\u00ader in our own indi\u00advid\u00adual strug\u00adgle to become what we wish to become, we must come togeth\u00ader and sac\u00adri\u00adfice to one anoth\u00ader. We affirm our indi\u00advid\u00adual worth in our union which is based upon our shared val\u00adues. We affirm, strength\u00aden and expand these core val\u00adues as we give up our attach\u00adment to less\u00ader things.<\/em><\/p>\n

Uranus and Our Sac\u00adri\u00adfice Now<\/em><\/strong>
<\/em><\/strong>This has always been the chal\u00adlenge of a cre\u00adat\u00ading a \u201cfree\u201d soci\u00adety. To ful\u00adfill our\u00adselves we must sac\u00adri\u00adfice for one anoth\u00ader. Uranus Squar\u00ading our Venus (and Oba\u00adma\u2019s) is remind\u00ading us that we must face our chal\u00adlenges now in a spir\u00adit of mutu\u00adal under\u00adstand\u00ading; and that requires the sac\u00adri\u00adfice of our less\u00ader alle\u00adgiances and our less\u00ader val\u00adues. We need to be remind\u00aded, reaf\u00adfirm and make a real sac\u00adri\u00adfice for our core val\u00adues that have bound us, formed us and guid\u00aded us. We need to restate our under\u00adstand\u00ading of these core val\u00adues so that we are clear as to what it is that we stand upon with one another.<\/em><\/p>\n

We need lead\u00aders who artic\u00adu\u00adlate the truth that every one of us must sac\u00adri\u00adfice if we are to meet the chal\u00adlenges that lie ahead. For Oba\u00adma, for the lead\u00aders in Con\u00adgress, for the lead\u00aders in the many agen\u00adcies and insti\u00adtu\u00adtions of our gov\u00adern\u00adment, for busi\u00adness and com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adty lead\u00aders, and for each and every one of us who seek to under\u00adstand, inspire and guide us through this time, we all must free our\u00adselves from our old reac\u00adtive val\u00adu\u00ada\u00adtions and refresh our expe\u00adri\u00adence of what is of most val\u00adue between us.<\/em><\/p>\n

Oba\u00adma\u2019s Sac\u00adri\u00adfice<\/em><\/strong>
Oba\u00adma\u2019s chal\u00adlenge and oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty is to be the leader who sets the exam\u00adple of what we need to become now. He will have to show his will\u00ading\u00adness to sac\u00adri\u00adfice some of his val\u00adues in order to dis\u00adplay courage and lead\u00ader\u00adship. He must call each of us to those sac\u00adri\u00adfices that will lead to a \u201cnew world\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

As it has been said before, \u201cBeat\u00aden paths are for beat\u00aden men\u201d. We need pathfind\u00aders now, we need lead\u00aders who have courage and chal\u00adlenge us to rise above our dif\u00adfer\u00adences and sac\u00adri\u00adfice for one anoth\u00ader\u2026 because we are one anoth\u00ader. Uranus to Venus says renew your love for one anoth\u00ader, because you will need one anoth\u00ader if you are to meet the chal\u00adlenge of your destiny.<\/em><\/p>\n

The forces that are lin\u00ading up in the next sev\u00ader\u00adal years rival those at our found\u00ading over 200 years ago. We are at the end of age (which also means we are at the dawn of a new age). We must allow our\u00adselves to be filled with the spir\u00adit of under\u00adstand\u00ading, to be inspired now to choose to turn to one anoth\u00ader, again, and pledge \u201cour lives, our for\u00adtunes and our sacred honor\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
