Uranus Station and Daily Horoscopes

We’re in the midst of the Uranus station, with this planet of insightful and consciousness-awakening energy about to turn retrograde, the direction it will travel until December 1 (it goes retrograde July 1 at 12:24 am PDT). Retrograde periods are times for reflection and heightened inner awareness. When Uranus is retrograde, it yields great opportunities for out-of-the blue “Eureka!” moments as well as experiences where we feel drawn to try a new path, the road less traveled, in expression of who we are.

Uranus is also the planet associated with technology and astrology, the latter because it involves patterns and is still considered a novel, out-of-the-box way to understand ourselves and the world around us. In sync with the Uranus station, I’ve started a daily horoscope column–an overview of the day’s ribbons of energy–that I’m posting to the Planetary Apothecary page on Facebook.

Here’s a sample of a post, the one I wrote for today:

“Beauty reveals itself in unexpected ways today, as we find novel inspiration in that which infuses us with a sense of grace. Take the opportunity to gaze at a painting or sculpture, read a poem, or listen to some music. If it is a work of art that is familiar to you, approach it as if it is the first time that you are interacting with it. This experience of meeting beauty with fresh eyes/ears can help expand your perspective not only on the art itself, but on an answer that you are seeking to uncover.”

If you’re on Facebook and would like to read these posts and also keep up on other Planetary Apothecary “happenings”–like workshops/events I’m doing, links to news articles, fun facts, “book happenings” and more)–please become a “Fan” (Facebook’s language, not mine) of the Planetary Apothecary page, which you can find by clicking here: Planetary Apothecary Facebook page.

I’ll likely start posting these daily Astrological Insights here on the Planetary Apothecary blog* but, in honoring of the celestial energies, I thought I’d try a Uranian approach to astrology-column writing and have it first featured on Facebook.

Happy Uranus Station!!!

* UPDATE: As of July 25, I’m posting these daily horoscopes on the home page each day. They are currently tagged as “Daily Horoscope.”
