The unusual, unanticipated and the amazing offer fresh opportunities.

The electrifying planet, Uranus, often referred to as “The Awakener” by those familiar with astrology, has made its final move into Aries. This will be its new home for the next seven years, until May 2018. This planet/sign combination tends to be extremely powerful. Uranus is known to stir up the pioneering spirit within and encourages changes of the most intense kind. “Expect the unexpected” is the most commonly used phrase when making reference to its most notable characteristic. Strong feelings of restlessness may develop as Uranus travels through the sign of the Ram. Aries is an adventurous and at times impulsive sign noted for taking that questionable leap of faith without hesitation. A strong desire or need to expand and explore new horizons will be welcomed by some and perhaps feared by others. How you approach and deal with sudden change will become of importance. Applying an extra measure of flexibility to your usual way of thinking tends to be very helpful. Comfortably dealing with the unknown and walking down an unfamiliar path could lead to opportunities that reach beyond your wildest expectations.

Each sign of the zodiac will feel its influence to some degree. Use your Sun sign and rising sign to get a general idea of the area that could be activated. Your personal birth chart would point out further details.
