}Message from Uranus for the Month of the Crab (June 21 through July 22, 2019){
As I write, Gay Pride events are happening around the country. Uranus in the chart for this month has heavy aspects, and he is generally considered the "gay" or LGBTQ planet. Whatever is eccentric, "queer" in any sense, or unusual and experimental is his domain. He upsets convention. Squares to him from Mars and Mercury bring out controversy---I had it with a Facebook friend who found me offensive and insensitive about gay rights, as I found him offensive and insensitive about the rights of other-than-gay individuals who feel forced into a box because of knee-jerk "gay" objections to things which are really harmless, and on and on. (I do not want to revive that dispute.) However, Uranus also has sextiles from the sun and Venus, so the Pride events in Seattle where I am were quite festive and friendly yesterday, and I hope today as well. Joe Biden visited Seattle to give a speech to gay supporters or possible-supporters and although the press, as usual, liked to emphasize something he said which might have been interpreted as offensive, he was applauded heavily at the end.
Signor Borelli's symbol for Uranus this month is "A well-favored cow grazing in a park in the shade of two trees." This fits what I saw yesterday in Cal Anderson Park where Pride festivities were going on. The "cows" were people decked out in colorful clothing, not afraid to display their bodies ("well-favored"). In general this month we may have such luxurious moments of "comfort and happiness dissociated from labor"; "success and contentment in easy attachments."
But of course we have the difficult aspects mentioned in Sol's and Saturn's messages, and they are reflected in Charubel's symbol for Uranus's position: "A horrid sight! A naked man mutilated, the blood flowing down the body." He says this indicates one liable to torture. I don't like this any more than you, but report it faithfully for whatever it is worth. And I have done my homework: The moon was at this degree in the chart for the month of 9/11/2001, and of course not only the victims of the massacre but many others felt as if they were being tortured. I consider cruelty the worst sin by far, and every day I pray: "May cruelty disappear from the mind and heart of humanity and never happen again. May there be kindness everywhere." I direct the fulfillment of this prayer toward all prisoners all over the world and toward animals. I would be happy if you would join me in it.
And so we do not have to submit to torment as a divine decree this month, but may take this as a warning to prevent it insofar as we can. The "torture" or torment can be purely mental, or a torment of being misunderstood, or feeling misunderstood, or disagreeing with someone you love, and so on.
The Sabian symbol is "A woman of Samaria." She is featured in John 4: 4-42. Since she had had five husbands, we may assume that some of her marriages may have felt like torment, or if we talked with the husbands perhaps some would agree from the other side. She had to come to the well to draw water, a sort of minor torment, and told Jesus it would be wonderful to be relieved of that burden---to be more like the "well-favored cow browsing in the shade of trees." But she was intelligent and inquiring and felt that Jesus was someone she wanted to understand, and ended up telling the men of the town how wonderful he was. In a way her relation to Jesus was Uranian, one of mutual respect, each respecting what was unusual in the other. This is one of my favorite Bible stories.
Of course Jesus was soon to suffer torture unto death, which brings in Charubel's disturbing symbol, and this colorful concourse at the well seems to lead to the awakening of a spiritual impetus in the woman and in the townspeople she invited to hear Jesus for themselves---thus Dr. Jones gives "Awakening" as keyword for the symbol.
At a spiritual or a merely human level, we will find both pleasant times (the shady park) and tormenting ones leading us toward something greater than these dualities of pleasure and pain, namely, what Jesus represents, the spiritual nature of humanity (no matter how invisible).
This gives us the internal freedom (Uranus) which conquers external bondage or restriction.
