There are zodiac signs where Uranus shines and is emboldened to bring about wonderful brotherly love and incredible scientific advances, like when he was in his own zodiac sign, Aquarius from the middle of 1995 until the early part of 2003. While there, the everyday use of the Internet took root and blossomed. Prior to that, he was in Capricorn building the systems of the Internet. Yes, the Internet has been around for a long time, but it was during the time that the planet in charge of the Internet was traveling through the zodiac sign in charge of the Internet, that the Internet seriously began to grow and expand into the incredible tool that it is today.

In Pisces, Uranus is somewhat subdued. Pisces rules over the hidden forces that work behind the scenes. Therefore, things like mental health, secrets, self-destruction, addictions, spiritual mysteries, bureaucracies, and “fogginess” are ruled by Pisces. Therefore, we now have gambling, porn, and other self-destructive activities available online. We also have government bureaucracies trying to legislate for or against Net Neutrality and spam. We have all kinds of spiritual, mental health, self-help, and “positive attitude” information readily available as well. Is it any wonder that people are becoming addicted to the Internet? On the other hand, Uranus’ time in Pisces has helped us to befriend people from all over the world that we otherwise would not have gotten to know. Global brotherhood is much easier to encompass. Pisces believes in sacrificing for the greater good and Uranus is a huge fan of humanitarianism. Together, they bring us websites that work to educate and promote helping those less fortunate in other countries. Uranus may not have the razzamatazz in Pisces that he has in some other zodiac signs, but he is not without his charms within this area of our lives.

For Scorpio, this has been occurring in your fifth house of personal pleasure, romance, lovers, playtime, children, pets, hobbies, creative talents, and luxury. Hosting Uranus in this area of your life is fun, exciting, full of pleasant surprises, and gives you a spontaneous and joyful approach to these activities. It can also bring chaos and upheaval to these areas of your life. Children can be a joy and a source of drama. Lovers could come and go without any apparent rhyme or reason. Your vacations could be full of fun or complete disasters. Friends could bring you great joy and they could suck the fun out of your life too. Your creative muse has probably been all over the place.

Once Uranus moves into Aries, he can have some fun. Aries is innovative, entrepreneurial, competitive, and loves being the first one to come up with a new idea. Uranus is in love with new technology, teamwork, being unique while being part of something bigger than one’s self, and a brainstorming genius. Both are extroverted, social, and stubborn. Both are clever, fast, and pride themselves on their uniqueness. At first, Uranus will enjoy a lovely summer visit into Aries and then later next year, he will formally move into Aries for the next few years. He reminds me of a teenager visiting a college campus before moving there permanently during the college years. This first visit will be exhilarating and then going back into Pisces will feel stiff and too confining before he makes the official move to Aries. Globally, we will probably see the Internet and new technology take off like crazy. It will be interesting to see how the planet of teamwork and brotherly love affects the world while in the zodiac sign of warriors and “me first!” Does “me” or “we” prevail?

For Scorpio, Uranus’ visit into Aries will be in your sixth house of daily work tasks, to-do lists, coworkers, productivity levels, physical health, and “feeling useful”. Hosting Uranus in this area of your life can be exhilarating. If you work in telecommunications, Internet technologies, science, web hosting, handheld electronic devices, and cell phone technology, you could find this to be an excellent energy to host in your daily work sector. If your job requires teamwork, social networking, large group activities, committees, professional associations, etc, you will probably find it much easier to get these groups working together towards a common goal. At times, coworkers, productivity levels, job assignments, and your health may become chaotic and uncertain, but overall, things should be more enthusiastic and brainstorming solutions should be a bit easier. You could also find yourself longing to change jobs or maybe you will jump around from job to job looking for something more meaningful and more inline with your authentic self. Uranus in the daily work sector is going to push you towards finding work that matches your core personality. An extrovert is not meant to be working in solitude. An innovative trendsetter should not be working in a heavily bureaucratic environment. The idea is that if we find work that matches our natural talents, then we have an easier time succeeding. We are also able to give better performance levels to our employers. You are not trying to be a spoiled brat, you are trying to find where you naturally fit into the scheme of things. Just as when Jupiter enters this area, you will be motivated to look at innovation, trend setting, entrepreneurial projects, and/or showing the world that you are a ‘one of a kind’ leader in your industry. Moving backwards into Pisces will feel like bureaucracy just tossed a bunch of roadblocks in the way of your brilliant ideas. Nevertheless, it could also provide a lovely chance to rejuvenate after such a crazy fast introduction into what is coming next in your professional life.

Neptune tries to bring emotional well-being, spirituality, and a touch of magic to whatever he touches. Unfortunately, he also has a tendency to bring self-destruction, bureaucracies, and gullibility too. He usually spends about 14 years in each zodiac sign. Neptune rules over mental health, attitudes, intuition, secrets, spiritual mysteries, paranormal activities, charities, bureaucracies, and other hidden forces that work behind the scenes. If things are good, he brings compassion and a touch of magic. If things are bad, he brings delusions and fogginess.

As 2010 begins, Neptune is still in Aquarius and your fourth house. He will stay here until January 2012.

In Aquarius, Neptune is behaving in sort of a yin-yang energy to Uranus. Uranus is in Neptune’s zodiac sign and Neptune is in Uranus’ zodiac sign. They are each doing their thing, but focusing on the other’s topics. While Uranus is creating brotherhood online, Neptune is trying to make mental health, spirituality, and bureaucracies work for everyone. One brings teamwork to humanitarian causes; the other brings humanitarian causes to teamwork. One says, “I am mentally healthy and self-assured so that I can be a great team player.” The other says, “I am a great team player so that I can feel mentally healthy and self-assured.” Is it any wonder that “Yes we can” became the global motto in 2008? To some, it is a delusional concept full of lollypop dreams and gullible “kool-aid” drinking. To others, it is the logical and necessary blending of global teamwork and universal compassion.

For Scorpio, Neptune has been blessing your fourth house of real estate, housing matters, roommates, parents, childhood issues, retirement circumstances, and “coming home”. During this time, when Neptune is clashing with or being opposed by other planets in the zodiac, then he can bring lies, deceptions, “fogginess”, addictions, escapism, gullibility, and delusion to your home life. Your parents could show signs of senility, you could find yourself wanting to hide away in your home rather than face the harsh realities of life, and/or you could simply find that roommates are behaving in fickle and bizarre ways. You could have found that real estate deals were full of hidden loopholes and secret problems. Sometimes having Neptune in the fourth house can mean that just trying to keep a roof over your head can be a challenge, and you might have found yourself struggling just to create a solid home life for yourself. On the other hand, Neptune has been trying to bring mental health, spirituality, peace of mind, tranquility, and compassion into your private life. He has also been trying to help you work through psychological issues regarding your parents and how you were raised. Since Neptune rules over a water sign (Pisces), you could also have found yourself being drawn towards living in coastal towns or otherwise near the water. There is a certain laidback, quiet, peaceful energy that comes from “living on the water” so to speak. On the other hand, there is the possibility that you could have suffered water damage to your home. Overall, Neptune’s goal has been to bring his positive gifts to your home, your relationship with your parents and roommates, and to your ability to plan for a peaceful retirement. He just does not handle negativity very well.

Pluto psychoanalyzes, empowers, and/or heals whatever he touches. He has an uneven pattern and can spend as little as 13 years or as much as 32 years in any given zodiac sign. His job is to uncover the hidden truths within our lives and to either empower us with passion and self-righteousness, or to heal us by forcing us to go through a Phoenix Rising type of experience. It can be painful to endure Pluto’s scrutiny, but it can ultimately prove to be incredibly uplifting. Personal rebirth is often the result of Pluto’s passage through certain areas of our life. Pluto rules over trust and sharing. It is often through hidden motivations, hidden assets, hidden agendas, hidden resources, and/or through loyalty and fidelity matters that we find out what we are really made of and we find out what our partners are really made of. Pluto can reveal gifts, assets, stamina, and psychological resources that we had no idea existed within ourselves. And Pluto can reveal the selfish, greedy, and emotionally crippling aspects of ourselves too. All too often, he uses our need for sexual intimacy and financial teamwork (trust and sharing) to teach us these lessons. The reason that Scorpios are known to be so revengeful is because Scorpio co-rules over the trust and sharing concepts with Pluto. Breaking trust is the worst thing you can do to a Scorpio. From Scorpio’s perspective, nothing could possibly be more important that the ability to trust others.

As 2010 begins, Pluto is still in Capricorn and your third house. He moved into this area of your life in 2008 and will stay here until January 2024.

In Capricorn, Pluto focuses on doing the right thing because it is the thing to do. Capricorn rules over professionalism, leadership, goals and aspirations, success, civic duty, public recognition, and earning the respect of our peers. Remember earlier when we talked about Saturn and how he teaches us about karma, cause and effect, and “tough love” style life lessons. Saturn rules Capricorn and so Capricorn embraces the concepts of “tough love”, doing one’s civic duty, and ideas like “If I don’t take care of this, who will?” When in Sagittarius, Pluto promoted exploring the world and all of the various cultures, peoples, religions, etc. Sagittarius promoted freedom to explore and to dabble in various religious and cultural teachings. The idea that all religions are more alike than different and therefore we can pick and chose bits and pieces of which ones we like is a very Sagittarian approach to religion and spirituality. We focused on global travel, politics, and mass media. Pluto had a good time digging deep down into the truth about our political beliefs, our religious practices, our international diplomacy, and such. Now, he is focusing on the business systems, ethics, integrity, and professionalism of our world. Do the large corporations follow ethical business practices? Do we have integrity in our government agencies? Do we as individuals, as communities, as states, as countries… do we take on a parental role and look out for those in need or do we focus on our own personal agendas? It may not feel like a lot of fun, but this is the perfect energy for fixing the economic system, the environmental policies, the human rights violations, the health care system, welfare programs, voting fraud, etc. Big systems that are broken can be fixed, healed, restructured, and/or demolished in a smart and tenacious manner. We have the planet of passion, truth, and rebirth focused on the zodiac sign of responsibility, integrity, and leadership.

For Scorpio, Pluto is in your third house of communications, commerce, and community. You should find that it becomes a lot easier to get your point across to others and to be able to negotiate for what you need. You have the planet of "our money and our bodies" in the house of "does my word and a handshake mean anything?" in the zodiac sign of "professionalism and integrity." This makes it an amazingly strong energy for commercial activities and business negotiations. You could create some very lucrative business contracts at this time. Because Capricorn is involved, you do have to work, the money probably will not come from lotteries or inheritances. However, you have the planet of passion and hidden resources blessing your negotiations and communications sector, so your career should really benefit from Pluto's placement in your chart. It may seem like you just "know" what to say to get people to agree with you. This is also a great energy for getting along with your extended family, your neighbors, and others within your community. Again, you have the perfect words to persuade others to agree with you.
