Uranus & The South Node Full Moon Medita�on

Dear Friends, for the first time ever, we are experiencing real winter

here in Munich. Nothing like what many are experiencing in the United

States however. Nonetheless, I anxiously await the arrival of Spring!

After last month's article about Mercury Retrograde, we were thrilled to

hear from many of you who used the early days of this retrograde

period to revisit language in your biography, your marketing materials

or on your web-site. We hope the bounties of your efforts are fulfilled!

Mercury will remain retrograde until February 11, 2015.

This month, we are writing about a transit that occurs only once every

15 years or so: transiting Uranus conjunct the transiting South Node.

This transits provides an excellent opportunity to understand and integrate the energies of

our past better.

Also, we have included a link to this month's full moon meditation for this evening,

February 3.

Blessings and peace,

Scott and Sappho Wolfram

Uranus Conjunct South NodeFrom Now Until Mid-March 2015

Introduction

Awakening The Past & Discovering Yourself https://ui.constantcontact.com/visualeditor/visual_editor_preview...

1 of 7 2/3/2015 1:44 PM

We all have wondered about our past lives. We would love to know where we have lived

and the role we have fulfilled in the past. But, past lives can be a tricky subject. It is not like

looking in the Encyclopedia Britannica, finding our page, and reading about our karmic

past. Sorry, wrong generation... We are not able to Google our soul's history. We have to

find other sources to uncover our karmic past.

One source of information are our own experiences, particularly experiences that are

clearly powerful. There are some experiences that give us a powerful message that we are

experiencing a place, person or situation that is connected to our karmic past. These

experiences provide a feeling or an insight that is more powerful than normal situations

and feels like a glimmer that says, "Take a closer look, there might be something

interesting for you to explore here". Alternatively, these experiences can feel like bright

flashing lights that say, "Pay attention, this is important!"

In this newsletter, we will explore a transit that is a key transit that opens us up to

experiences connected to our karmic past lifetimes: transiting Uranus conjunct the

transiting South Node, which will be exact on February 3, 2015 (Mean Nodes, not True

Nodes) and will be in orb or in effect through mid-March 2015.

Important Note:

This article is about past life energies. For those who do not believe in

past lives, you can focus on aspects of your childhood from this lifetime.

So, in other words, aspects from your childhood associated with

memories of things that came naturally or knowledge that felt innate to

you that, over time, for one reason or another, the fire went out whether

you left them behind or you were discouraged by society and family to

leave them behind. So, think back to your childhood about what came

naturally, what made you most happy, what felt so very special about you

- those are the threads from your past that you can use as your focus for

reading this article.

The South Node's Role - In our Birth Chart and in Transit

In our birth chart, the South Node contains the core themes from our past lifetimes, or our

karmic past and past memory. Karma has a couple of meanings. First, our karma is the

thoughts, words and actions that we have repeated over and over. As a result, our karma

in past lives creates our habits and skills in this life. Second, karma represents the results

that we experience in this lifetime that are the natural outcome of the thoughts, words and

actions we have taken over and over in past lifetimes, and most importantly in this lifetime.

The South Node in transit reflects the karmic themes from past lifetimes that are meant to

be experienced at this particular point on our journey in this life. The South Node tells us,

that the events that unfold now were meant to unfold at this point in time. Related to our

karmic past, these events have two alternative types of experiences:

First, events energized from the transiting South Node can be connected to either

the re-emerging of memories and experiences that allow us to recognize and / or

deepen our existing skills and gifts. They can point us in the direction that allows us

to fulfill the potential we have developed in past lifetimes.

Second, events energized from the transiting South Node can remind us of the

karmic blockages from past lifetimes. These events come into our awareness at this

time, because we now have the potential to overcome and establish new responses

to old karma and our less favorable habits.

We should not view our karma as good or bad. We should not judge ourselves in this way.

We should also not view ourselves as subject or fated to this karma. Rather, be the

architect of our life and embrace your karma wholly. Know that some aspects of your

karma need to be healed, while other aspects of your karma need to be reinforced by your

daily actions.

Uranus, the 'Great Awakener'

Transiting Uranus Conjunct the Transiting South Node

Uranus is known as the "Great Awakener", which has a few key meanings:

First, Uranus provides sudden events that awaken us to our true, individual

potential.

Second, Uranus opens our awareness to new ways of accessing information and

knowledge.

In this regard, Uranus is connected to our long term memory and our ability to access the

memories of our distant past. Finally, Uranus is also known for promoting change and

freedom. He wants you to be liberated from the restrictions that keep you from fulfilling

your dharma, or your highest potential in life (as represented by the North Node of the

Moon).

With transiting Uranus conjunct the transiting South Node, the "Great Awakener" brings

the potential to have unexpected experiences that awaken us to memory or awareness of

our karmic past. Be aware of any sudden "Ah Ha" moments when an insight suddenly puts

key aspects of your life into a new context. You could say, "Don't be surprised if you are

surprised!".

Sudden insights about our past are most helpful WHEN two things take place:

First, when you have a new degree of clarity about the journey your soul has been

on, whether it be about your gifts, your deeper identity, or the blockages that can

hold you back from achieving your goals.

Second, when the new insight makes more clear the path you are meant to take

moving forward. So, altering responses and modifying unhelpful habits.

Here are some ways these connections might occur:

Viewing art, listening to music or reading a book about a particular topic of period in

history and feeling profoundly connected

Traveling to a specific location and being overwhelmed by the memory and

connections you sense

Meeting someone who immediately connects with you by connecting with the

threads of your thoughts and bringing context and clarity

Who is impacted?

Everyone has the potential to be impacted. Uranus and the South Node will fall in a

particular house or area of your birth chart. In your chart, the house and the themes

associated with that house will be impacted.

However, like all transits, some people will be more powerfully impacted than others. In

particular:

Birth charts with planets or angles between 9 and 17 Aries will be most impacted.

Birth chart with planets or angles between 9 and 17 Cancer, Libra or Capricorn will

be strongly impacted.

What can you do?

Transiting Uranus conjuncts the transiting South Node roughly every 15 years. So, this

transit does not happen all that often. It is the only time it will take place in Aries in our

lifetimes. This is definitely a transit that you want to take advantage of by simply being

present and aware and open.

Post Script... here are two examples from my travels that have opened me up to

understanding my past better!

2003 - Temple of the Vestal Virgins, Roman Forum

Wolfram von Eschenbach (circa 1200), was a knight, musician,

poet and astrologer. His epic "Parzival", is known as the

alchemical or spiritual version of the quest for the Holy Grail.

When I encountered his birthplace and museum, the power of the

connections I had with Wolfram changed my awareness of myself,

my soul's journey, and the path I am meant to follow in this life.

Wow. This was a powerful day!

The House of the Vestals and the Temple

of Vesta are always my first stop in the

Forum of Rome.

From the first moment I encountered the

temple and sanctuary, I felt totally at

home. When I am here, I simply feel a

quiet, inner calm and radiance.

The transiting Uranus and South Node

are hitting my natal Vesta, which makes

it all the more powerful for me to write

this.
