Hello Dear Readers and Friends, back again with more Uranus transits. The 8th house is shared money, shared love, shared power and emotional intimacy. It’s the Scorpio house, so achieving balance in these areas will be important over the next seven years. There’s an old saying about Taurus — “Neither a borrower, nor a lender be…” Since Uranus is the planet of surprises, this transit could go either way — from rags to riches, or riches to rags. Those of you who have this would be smart to run your progressed chart and check that against your natal to get clues of how things could go. Ideally, you would want to strive for decisions that allow all parties involved to benefit. Financial opportunities could drop in your lap and your situation could be suddenly much improved. There could also be sudden setbacks, unexpected expenses, events that play havoc with your security — job, partner’s job, banks changing owners, new tax rules, etc. etc. Insurance is ruled by the 8th house, so be sure to ask questions and read all the fine print before you sign for any policies. If you are single and meet a new partner, please be cautious about getting involved too quickly. Uranus is not known for stability. If you are already in a stable partnership, there may be a lot of opportunities to grow closer, read each other more intuitively, bond closer even if there is a crisis.
Taurus is not just money, it’s our hobbies and talents and gifts. You could suddenly find yourself very passionate about new hobbies and build skills rapidly so there is a positive financial change as a result. Follow your heart in this area and don’t be afraid to try new things. Maybe it’s sculpture, or you decide to lay tile, or raise orchids, or become an appraiser or an insurance adjuster — the possibilities are infinite. You could even invent something and get it patented.
The next few years are a little tricky when it comes to lending possessions. Don’t borrow money if you have doubts you can pay it back, and the same goes for lending to others. Of course if you are a banker by profession, this transit is just the new incorporation of technology. For example, I read a story about a robot in China who took the place of a bank teller. However, lending your favorite books, tools, clothes, etc. is not a great idea because you might not get them back. Gifting someone would be better than loaning during this transit.
Uranus in the 9th is the house of long distance travel and foreign contacts, philosophy and metaphysical studies as well as traditional churches. Uranus rules aviation as well as technology. Do not fly if there are malefic squares or oppositions to Uranus from Mars, Saturn, or Pluto in your natal. Do not fly when transiting Mars squares, opposes or conjoins Uranus in the 9th either !! This transit is great for contacting special interest groups, kindred spirits from all over the USA or all over the world. There are many on-line forums. Enjoy the learning :)) The 9th is higher ed — a great time to take classes online, too.
You may feel more drawn to world news and events. This is one of the prophetic houses — you could have flashes of intuition about world events before they happen. If you travel ( during benevolent transits), you could meet new friends or even find love in far away places. Taurus rules ancient Greece. Since Taurus has a business connection, the next few years could be a great time to start an online business. This could begin as a side gig but end up as a full time career for you. Your new gig could have to do with learning and teaching, or importing foreign goods for domestic resale, or even something like sponsoring and/or coordinating on-line metaphysical classes. Those are just a few of potential 9th house meanings.
Artists with this transit will be drawn to foreign, maybe historic, techniques. The use of technology can play a role in helping you produce art that can be mass marketed, like posters, or greeting cards, etc. Not everyone with this transit is going to feel exceptionally outgoing and ready to rock the world. Introverted people with Uranus in the 8th may be drawn to more meditation and prayer, a quieter life, with time for yoga, Tai Chi, etc. Again, the foreign connection. Reading and assimilating new knowledge will be important for everyone with Uranus moving through the 9th…
If you have Uranus transiting your 10th, be ready for changes in career and how you view success. I have watched a lot of people take this transit; remember it takes about 7 years no matter what sign you have in your 10th house. The person grows in the conviction that they need more freedom to do their best work, and they often decide they need a new career altogether. Sometimes they feel suffocated by a micro-managing boss; sometimes they have mastered their work and are ready for a new challenge. Sometimes the person feels unappreciated but I have also seen people exit a career when the ethics of that business do not fit with who they are.
Since we’re talking Taurus in your 10th, it would harder to leave a career if the pay is good, since Taurus prefers comfort and financial security. That is part of the potential problem. Taurus can get into a rut; it’s a habitual sign. Uranus isn’t !! Uranus likes to shake things up — and suddenly!! Remember the 10th is a cardinal house — more impact in your life. Those of you born in the 60’s have some beautiful grand earth trines coming down the turnpike. The best advice I can give you is embrace the changes, don’t resist. Even if it was something like losing your job to a robot, or a new boss that no one likes, or disruptive technology makes your company’s product obsolete — there’s a hidden opportunity for you that comes to light and makes your life BETTER if you open your mind to new possibilities.
Meanwhile save money and lighten up the spending on pleasure of the moment stuff. When the changes come, and they will, you will feel better if you have savings tucked away. If there’s something you have always wanted to do, use technology to get certified in the field you want. Don’t bury your head and pretend all is well at work if it isn’t. Investigate online what possibilities are out there that will enhance your life. You could have a real breakthrough that defines your life in a whole new way.
The 10th house is also a symbol for authority figures. Uranus can be a rebellious energy. This is not the time to fight — with the boss, or about politics, with City Hall or the Planning Dept., or with your own parents either. You have a right to have more freedom in your life; your task is to figure out how to get what you want and still keep your life relatively stable. Take heart…Jupiter enters Capricorn on 12-2-19 and there will be helpful trines to your career house over that next year to help you achieve your goals…
Well, enough for tonight, 2 houses left for next time :)) Stay tuned… Namaste, Jenae
