Three Aquarian Age Dealios as Uranus Goes Retro
If you’re highly Uranian in some way (and not numbed out from food/drugs/meds/booze/porn/TV/video games/etc. or combos of some or all of these), you might feel like you’re on a bullet train into some radical, exciting and somehow unimaginable future. In my circles, admittedly fully Southern Californian and progressive in nature, a lot of us feel this way.
Uranus is stationing retrograde today, so I’m thinking about the kinds of Uranian change we each have the opportunity to see over the next 5 months as it appears to travel backward in Pisces. And since the age of Pisces always leads to the age of Aquarius, it seems a good day to get these comments out to you.
Regardless of whether you think the Age of Aquarius is here already or not (but FYI, it’s not), here are some notes about what’s taking root in the collective consciousness these days that will serve to enable what’s coming.
Aquarian Age Dealio #1: Self-knowledge and self-reliance are key. Individuals must learn to listen to themselves, to trust their inner voices even as they will differ from the normative reality in which they find themselves, or precisely because they differ.
Contrast this with the Piscean dealio that’s about mass control. Pisces is about going with the flow, and works to include the all of everything in whatever it does. The monotheistic religion thing we’ve been doing for a few thousand years is about control and controlling people into the fearing of the asking of questions, because doing that can lead to individuation, what they can’t afford we do.
Aquarian Age Dealio #2: Self-care is paramount. Taking care of the self first enables us to offer what we’d like to offer others and the world. That everyone else needs fixing first is a misconception, a red herring we use to keep ourselves from self-responsibility.
Contrast this with the prevalence of misdirection when it comes to what care is currently surrounding us. Many relationships between humans can use a dose of “I take back my crap and give you back your crap,” and more and more people are waking up to taking responsibility for themselves.
Aquarian Age Dealio #3: Coming together to work with others is about shared perspectives and goals.
I think this one is sometimes a little misunderstood, as people think that in the Aquarian age, we’ll all want the same things and we’ll all get along. There will be no strife, and everyone will be wandering around with glassy, happied-over eyes.
Not that we won’t get along, but that the point of being with other people in a Uranian/Aquarian fashion is that the choice of people needs to be about getting in with people who agree with you about what the future should look like. Aquarius is the sign of “friends, groups and wishes” in that you need to ally with like-minded people to create the kind of future you want to see - no one can do it alone.

What you get to see over the next 5 months during the retro might not seem to fit any of these. Yet the opportunities for the retro are in understanding what Uranian individuation relative to Piscean assumptions and conditioning you carry and don’t act on most certainly is - it’s just some zodiacal semantics, people.
