A Uranus in Aries Brainstorm

The most exciting astrological news of the month, by far, has to be the ingress of Uranus into Aries on 27/28 May (full data below).

Here are a few words and phrases I thought up that evoke the spirit of Uranus in Aries. I was going to mould them into artful narrative prose, but then I thought of the crazy immediacy and impatience of this ingress, so decided to present it as a raw list. Make of it what you will! In no particular order…..

 

And here are some great phrases from the Uranus in Aries blog-a-thon collection at CJ Wright’s blog:
Heads up for the accident prone

Claiming a self-reliant future

My rights, every day

Build yourself a fire-pit and other advice from Aries types:

*Build a fire pit and light it when you’re feeling down it will really cheer you up, but make sure you do it safely!

Good advice from a great friend of mine who has lots of Aries and lots of Virgo in her chart.

Never lose your nerve!
The motto of a good family friend, very successful man, very fiery.

Just do it and worry about it later!
Perhaps not advice that would suit everybody, this is from an Aries Sun-Leo Moon-Sag ASC friend who is also very successful. Mind, she does get herself in an awful pickle from time to time, but I am always very impressed by how she bounces back so quickly – the fire spirit and resilience serves her well.

Have faith in yourself
From a sunny young man I know who has an Aries Moon and a Leo Sun and Ascendant.

Today is OK, but tomorrow will be better, so let the past be and move on.

An Aries Moon character I know who genuinely never bears a grudge.

My advice? Wear red!
And why not, it’s a colour that’s surprisingly flattering on most people. If you don’t often wear red, try it, it’s a good feeling. It's actually works well if you lack fire in your chart, as it’s a safe way to embody the element’s spirit.

As synchronicity would have it, a minute after I posted this I discovered that one of the bloggers I follow - The Bloggess - just today posted about her desire for a red dress, so I'm slipping the link in here. She says "I want, just once, to wear a bright red, strapless ball gown with no apologies. I want to be shocking, and vivid and wear a dress as intensely amazing as the person I so want to be". What fabulous Uranus in Aries behaviour - ladies take note! Read more.... N.B. the red dress pictured above-left is available from http://www.asos.com/

Finally, Uranus in Aries is a good time to get to know and love your natal Mars, which will doubtless be activated by this Uranus transit, because Mars rules Aries.
