Uranus 2nd House - Uranus transit through your second house will bring major changes in your financial and material situation. If you can, while Uranus is still transiting your first house, prepare for the second house transit by getting your financial house in order. This transit works on both your internal values and your external possessions. If your values reflect a great deal of materialism, you will need to rethink them during this transit. If you don’t Uranus will provide you with opportunities that will force you to look closely at your values. These will usually be unpleasant experiences, but when challenging our core values, Uranus can be extremely disruptive.

Externally, our material resources can undergo great and sudden changes for the better or worse depending upon how attached we are to them. This transit affects all parts of your life that tie you to the material side of your life. You can be sure that after this transit, your whole life will have changed significantly. The ultimate effects of the transit are to free you from your material attachments, so that you can continue to grow as an individual.

Opposition - this aspect is one where you must focus on what is currently going on in your life. This is because situations are occurring rapidly now, and you may react too quickly and either lose a great opportunity or find yourself out on a limb with no way back. The problem is that you won’t know which is which because of the speed of the occurrences. The best thing now is to be cautious in your reactions, because although you may miss some opportunities, you won’t get yourself into as much trouble. In your relationships, the theme of freedom will be paramount. If your relationship is too restrictive, you will react negatively at this time, and try to break free. If you are restricting your partner, they may try to break free from your dominance.

Pluto is just starting to transit through your 12th (Began in Dec 2002)- The effects of this transit is primarily psychological, causing you to deal with hidden and buried aspects of yourself in order to clean out the garbage that you have accumulated over the last several years. You will be forced to confront many unconscious concepts, particularly those that label things bad or good. Most of these concepts come from social training supplied by our parents and family as well as religious training in our childhood. Such concepts affect us in our very day interactions with others, usually negatively. Cleaning these out, and replacing them with more enlighten and adult concepts will prepare us to move into our next cycle of growth as Pluto transits our 1st house. The more garbage that you confront and clean out now; the more positive the result of the following transits.

Thats the primary things going on right now and innthe last several months. Capricorn ascendants seem to be having a rough time of it now. It seems to be a time of redefing who we are. Yeap, I'm one two.

We all get attached to material things, this transit is trying to help you understand, that you are who you are, not what you have.

If you can release material things in your life, and focus on what you really need, you will gain a great deal out of this transit.

I'm also undergoing this transit, being a Capricorn Ascendant, and in the last 6 month I have lost my job, my home, my car, and my family, but I am happier now that I've been in a long time. I have my friends, my health, and my astrology. I've been able to release all of those things and focus on what is really meaningful to me. You can do so as well, I wish you growth and happiness.

It's never going to be empty, it's always there for you. You always will have resources and your life will never be perfect but it's not empty. God isn't perfect, and this world and you and I are not perfect. We live in an imperfect world that changes constantly. You are sane and smart and you will get through this. Everything that is happening now is preparing you for something much better, not worse. Don't go pessimistic on me.

Maybe, you haven't learned the lesson that the universe is trying to teach you. I have no way of knowing, but I do know that until we learn, the same tests will come back again and again.

It sounds like thats what is happening to you. Another thing that I know for sure is that we pick our natal charts, parents and experiences prior to birth in order to grow. We have no one to blame but ourself. I also know that we can grow if we will look life directly in the face, give thanks for our life experiences, and stop blaming others.

I don't mean to sound harsh, thats just the vives I get off of your email.

I wish you nothing but the best of luck

As it often appears in Tarot cards, Uranus is like a bolt of lightning striking a tower -- if anything is built on a false foundation, no matter how much we like it that way, Uranus will knock it down.

I think Uranus transits have a lot to teach us about acceptance. It's not the events or losses themselves that are so painful, it's our feelings and attitudes attached to them. Gone is gone. Everybody in Western society is taught that to win, they must be "in control", but that's an illusion. I can't tell you exactly when this latest stuff will end, but it definitely will -- and that it will feel worse if you resist or fear the changes. That is what you are in charge of -- your responses. Fixed signs like Scorpio don't want to change -- it's like these big transits drag a fixed sign kicking and screaming toward change -- and since you've been through hell, you don't want to go there again, thank you very much.

You are the only person who can help yourself change your own feelings and life -- it doesn't come from the outside -- and as a Scorp, you are one of the signs that really has the power to totally transform yourself. We've all had crap and hell, to different degrees. We're all survivors of one kind or another. What I know, is that a person has to make something good despite the pain -- make it count. Otherwise you really are a victim. Your North Node -- one of your main destiny markers in your chart -- shows that you need to learn who you are, instead of being so subject to outside influences, and that you can learn to help others by reading, studying, and learning to be a messenger. It also shows your Mars is conjunct your Ascendant -- you come off to others as aggressive, and that could help explain why you've attracted violence into your life. Just by becoming aware of this should help -- you can choose to consciously use that intensity to help, teach, heal, save a life.

If I were you, and I'm not, I would try looking for people who have gone through hell and try to help them, volunteer, whatever, but learn how they survived, and went on to find grace, or create beauty. Or read about them. Musicians, heros, healers, children. An amazing book is Viktor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning", about Auschwitz and finding a way to survive and find meaning, on the inside.

If you enter your data at Astro.com, then you'll have options about reading what's ahead for you, with dates. Try the "Forecast" section by Robert Hand.

Finally, you are 36 -- it's a "9" year in numerology -- and that means you are completing a cycle of some kind. Whatever is meant to last, will, and whatever you truly don't need, will disappear. You are already growing -- this can be a very powerful positive cycle where you build within yourself -- like an education, inner strength is something that nobody can ever take away from us.

I wish you much strength and healing, ozonefiller, with all due respect -- because I don't walk in your shoes and I don't carry your burden, or have your unique gifts. But I do believe that we are Divinely given all the tools with which to succeed in our lives, even if the circumstances of Life seem to twist our lives into shapes we never consciously wanted.

We are all here to master our lessons. We get opportunities all the time! We cannot say we mastered something when we do not pass the test over and over again. When you pass you exam you will have to 'proove' it over and over to yourself mainly and to others. Isn't it only wonderful? That life presents us these possibilities? When I say I have masterd one of my issues life will most definitely give me a more harsh one, it will say:" Mercy dear, try this if you know it so well!" Well, ok...thanx! It is all for YOU, remember that! It is YOUR life, make it a happy one! It really is your own perception of it that makes it full or empty. Don't fight it, embrace it. You are one of us, the whole, a light, so *SHINE*. I know you can do it!
Don't wait until some transit is over or ask yourself:" when is it going to be over?" It all starts NOW! You make your life!

Hey and see all of the dear ones who answered your post! And you say you're alone???? You are never alone ok!

I;m sorry I always speak in metaphors but I do not think literally, and have trouble expressing myself verbally. The more we get the more we have to work for it doesn't convey anything.

I read once that pure love is in between heaven and hell, we have to bounce back and forth to find it, I think with Mars conjunct ascendant and you are A Scorp too, then it takes time. Before I was 30 nothing went right for me, think of all the talented people who give up. What if Michaelangelo gave up? His life wasn't perfect but he left proud of what he accomplished. He never thought his life was easy either and he complained a lot. A little pride in who you are is all you need. Don't compare yourself to other people, what's the use?

Look at who you are and how great it is to be you, forget the goals for a while.

Sleepin' alone in the
Drone of the darkness,
Scratched by the sand that
Fell from my love,
Deep in my dreams and I
Still hear her callin'
"If you're alone,
I'll come home."

Backward and homebound,
The pigeon, the dove,
Gone with the wind
And the rain, on an airplane.
Owning a home
With no silver spoon,
I'm drinking champagne
Like a good tycoon.

Sooner than wait for
A break in the weather,
I'll gather my far-flung
Thoughts together.
Speeding away
On the wind to a new day.
And if you're alone
I'll come home.

And I pause for a while
By a country style
And listen to the things they say.
Diggin' for gold
With a hoe in my hand.
Open a book
Take a look at the way things stand.

Basically, our world and Universe resonates to vibrations, and there is a measurable, numerological, mathematical structure to it. Which is why we look at numbers for information, in many contexts. Your current age is 36, which can be broken down to 3+6= 9. Any age that can be broken down to 9 is a "9 year"... thus 27 was your last one, and 18 the one before. A 9 year is the last year of a big life cycle, a time for endings and preparing for new beginnings. So that's the "what" of it.

Having the number nine as a current age number -- this year, in your case -- means it's a good time to review, clean out, and purge the past. A bad time to start that dream job, or get married -- because things begun in a "9" year often don't last -- because this year you are supposed to be reviewing your life and preparing for a new cycle, maybe a rebirth.

Are you saying that all the crap that I've been threw during the years is coming to an end?

---

Well no, ozonefiller -- although maybe you wish somebody here would tell you that -- I'm saying you have a window of opportunity to turn your life around. But if you work hard at turning your life around, then yes, you will see what you call "crap" diminish. Come on. You know there's no magic pill, just opportunities to work hard over time and slowly build a strong self and life. And create some inner peace for yourself.

Buddhists talk about the "manure of experience". It is what it is -- you can call it "crap" and hate it everyday, or you can learn how to use it as manure, and appreciate that buried deep in all that crap, are the seeds of how to make wonderful things grow in your life. It's all how you look at things.

I think that's your challenge. You need to see things in a new way. Understand that you are responsible for creating the conditions of your life.

Everybody in this thread has offered you a lot of information and encouragement -- that this hard time will pass -- and more than one person has said that astrologically, this is a time to "get your house in order". Now what are you going to do about it?

Dogs

You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need.
You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you're on the street,
You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed.
And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight,
You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking.

And after a while, you can work on points for style.
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake,
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile.
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to,
So that when they turn their backs on you,
You'll get the chance to put the knife in.

You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder.
You know it's going to get harder, and harder, and harder as you
get older.
And in the end you'll pack up and fly down south,
Hide your head in the sand,
Just another sad old man,
All alone and dying of cancer.

And when you loose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown.
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone.
And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw
around.
So have a good drown, as you go down, all alone,
Dragged down by the stone.

I gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused.
Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used.
Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise.
If I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of this
maze?

Deaf, dumb, and blind, you just keep on pretending
That everyone's expendable and no-one has a real friend.
And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner
And everything's done under the sun,
And you believe at heart, everyone's a killer.

Who was born in a house full of pain.
Who was trained not to spit in the fan.
Who was told what to do by the man.
Who was broken by trained personnel.
Who was fitted with collar and chain.
Who was given a pat on the back.
Who was breaking away from the pack.
Who was only a stranger at home.
Who was ground down in the end.
Who was found dead on the phone.
Who was dragged down by the stone.
