RESTRICTION AND BURIED FRUSTRATION
By Laurie Naughtin www.sublunar.co.za
It is very fitting that we begin the month in Lockdown. When the restrictive disciplined planet of structure, Saturn made an exact crisis connection with Uranus who is all about shocks and surprises mid June with an unexpected suddenness the 3rd Covid wave hit us.
All the man made rules for safety have been slacking, parties, clubs, churches packed to the rims, no social distancing, and a lack of masks. We acted as if life was nearly back to normal as Saturn retrograded in the social sign of Aquarius, and discipline waned.
When we avoid doing what we know is the right thing there are times when the universe gives us a sudden blindside wake up call. Welcome Uranus, as Uranus connected with Saturn, the result was and still is this aggressive sudden fatal 3rd wave.
We suffer further as structures such as burnt hospitals just languished in the complexity of paperwork, vaccine roll outs slacken and are unprofessionally managed. Human and universal laws are clashing so we must suffer the consequences of restriction and loss.
This is the big picture; we need to look at our own personal lives where we are feeling trapped, so much loss, unhappiness, and a big fear of the unknown.
Mars is right with Saturn and Uranus perfecting what we call a T square aspect on the 1st of this Month. Uranus sits in the middle, the apex of the angry entitled Mars just crying out to take charge of health and life, after all Mars is the planet of action and being held back by Saturn crying out for discipline and restriction.
Uranus is the only solution for us to get out of this fix. We need to obey the law of nature, re-evaluate the way we are living our lives. Foundations need to be built, but not short term weak ones, the walls will fall and crush us.
We have a choice as Uranus is in the very practical, fixed, earthy sign of Taurus. In 1935 to 1942 the new generation, dealing with Uranus in Taurus, was born into a world focused on building a safe and stable society after the terrible depression in America due to the excessive frivolous behaviour of the American society of the 1920’s.
Uranus is also the ruler of technology and if it is technology that can help put in structure to stabilise Covid, then we need to obey this rule. Uranus has a rebellious streak and many won’t comply with one of the most effective ways of treating the virus, after all it is free world and we have the right to our own opinions.
The truth of the matter according to much Astrological research is Covid is here to stay and like influenza we can weaken its effects and survive by vaccinating and understanding the importance of basic hygiene.
States in America are already living normal lives and rebuilding their roots thanks to the technical gift of the vaccine Uranus offered. I watch with envy.
I know I am a bit anal about vaccines as I come from an infectious disease background, but for the sake of society ‘vaccinate or isolate’ is my motto…there I have said it.
Emotions are going to be running high, feelings will be more sensitive than normal, and hurt could translate into anger. This is a month where we are going to have to agree to disagree in many situations. But hold your ground, not aggressively with great self righteous aplomb; rather silently as your opinion is yours and it will serve you as we should know ourselves well enough.
If you let the really bad behaviour, egotistical outbursts and controlling aggressive attitudes of some get to you it will not turn out well. Anger is deep and smouldering as there is very little we can do or say to fight certain issues, so we are suppressing our ire.
We are frustrated and restricted from getting on with our daily lives, this is burning within us. Trying to survive and buckling to the rules is very trying, we feel we are being punished and yet authority is broken and brought this upon us, not just in South Africa, but worldwide.
Many planets will connect with Uranus this month, some of these connections will serve us well while others will show us the truth. I have written out a list of the daily transits with advice, there are good times and wary times. The good days can trigger a whole new way of life for us, especially when this torrid time settles.
We must not give up or give in, as humans we need to survive and there are some wonderful creative and unique aspects this month that if adhered to, we can use to our best advantage.
Avoid conflict, find a creative or unique but practical way out of your prison, try something new, challenge yourself, and at all costs avoid fake news. Fake news is the most abusive destructive information one can ever have the misfortune to believe.
Conspiracy theories are just as bad, sadly when people are out of work and isolated they have too much idle time on hand and so the nonsense begins. These theories bring about fear and worry which spreads like the corona virus. Keep your creative intellectual minds focused on your dreams and future survival plans, on reality and survival.
The most positive energy this month is that we have the ability to do some research into ideas and plans for our future, use this gifted energy from the transits to your best advantage.
MEDICALLY SPEAKING
The deeply suppressed anger will go and find a way to fester within our bodies weakening us and be an underlying cause of anxiety and depression. If not appropriately expressed can disrupt relationships, affect thinking and behaviour patterns. Most concerning this anger and frustration we suppress creates a variety of physical problems muscle tension and pain nausea and digestive problems.
If you are a recovering covid patient, you really need to avoid stressful encounters and situations, especially this month. Find a way to heal and do what makes you feel good. Get plenty of sleep and do light exercise such a little walk in the park.
Well let’s see how this month goes, I am getting rescue drops as I have been feeling irritated lately. A couple of rescue drops followed by a cup of camomile tea will bring me back to a calmer space.
