Big difference!

The BIG NEWS today is the Sun in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus. Feeling radical or rebellious much? You can shrink, fade back and try to disappear into a shade of gray, but we all know that can easily look like a cry for help and draw more attention to yourself. Is that your goal? Or will you turn so radical and rebellious that you are standing out in the crowd with everyone looking at you. Is that your goal?

What is the point of your rebellion? Are you angry or excited? What are you trying to achieve? I'm all for being constructively and productively rebellious, but being angry at someone and now the world pays for it is simply juvenile and foolish.

Just get straight with yourself before you drag everyone in the vicinity into your world of, "I gotta be me!" That's fine, be you, but not everyone is going to 'affirm' you. You get to be you, but others get to be themselves too without having to stop and affirm, applaud or give you, their attention. It's a tough world out there. While you 'get to' be different from them, they 'get to' be different from you. SO THERE, deal with it. Keep reading . . .

Take a Good strong hard look at the memes presented today. In the first apple meme, one apple is trying to fade to black and disappear, while in the other apple meme (below) the apple is trying to stand out in a crowd by going bad. One bad apple DOES NOT spoil the whole bunch. That might be a way to get attention, but in the end it may not be the attention you intended and the bad apple gets thrown out. Try another method if you are rebelling so hard to be understood that you are turning rotten and then angry causing yourself to be outcasted. How about just be yourself without forcing anything on yourself or anyone else. That is an option. Just be you without trying so damn hard.

Uranus is a planet that strikes hard and f-a-s-t, and often times when it a square like this, it will strike out due to fear. Strike before being struck. In these uncertain times, which is every single day of our Life, we have a tendency to lock-up and become fixed and refuse to budge.

Check that area out in your chart ruled by Leo and Taurus at 22/23 degrees and that is where you will be feeling, receiving, acting out or behaving in this everyone is wrong, I gotta be right, look at me, rebellion-hellion. This aspect has a tendency to ruin a Good thing for no Good reason.

As much as Uranus tries to be unpredictable, it is predictably predictable. We know something is going to be different or change, even if we don't quite know what that is. That makes it predictable. This aspect often times is accompanied by fear for that reason. So then the tendency is to lock-up or lock-down and become fixed and refuse to budge on anything. Then no decisions are made. Well that's brave! (Insert a hefty dose of sarcasm.)

If you are brave enough to be rebellious, cantankerous, difficult and insatiable, how about being brave enough to listen to alternatives or be brave enough to try an alternative on for size? How 'bout that braveheart? How about be brave enough to work out differences, if you were the one that had the problem (issue) in the first place? The Sun is present in this aspect, which also means the ego is involved.

It takes bravery to truly be different, but if you are so truly different, then what's the problem? Just be that and you won't have to force feed anyone and expect them to applaud and affirm you. People Love us for who we are, not who we are trying to be or what we are forcing them to look at.

Honestly, I find unpredictable people to be THE MOST predictable. LOL! Think about it. As radical as unpredictable people want to be, usually they aren't and we know what their likely action and reaction will be. Funny.

The easiest way to handle and wrangle this energy is NOT TO put it into a box in the first place and expect day-to-day, day-in-day-out, same action, habit, ritual and grind out of it. Routine and the daily grind is NOT the answer to this aspect. You cannot put Uranus in a box as it will start spinning like a top and knock down all of the walls.

Actually being more flexible, spontaneous and going with the flow is more like it. This does not absolve one from getting their stuff completed. Not at all, it just means that a Life 'out of routine' is best. How about a little spontaneity. A massive amount of work, chore, task, stuff, errands, duties and the like can certainly be accomplished but not likely as a routine like the majority might do.

Rebellion, when channeled inappropriately can put the brakes on progress or accomplishment or on a relationship/friendship. Rebellion often times doesn't get sh!t done. It's actually pretty lazy energy. It calls attention to itself, and most of time, nothing is the result. The big who-ha was a big ol' non-contributing zero.

Rebellion 'can be' a lot like potential. Arrrgh! There's that word I can't stand . . . potential. It just means you haven't done it yet.

It is VERY HARD for me to be around people who have 'potential'. I don't like to wait for those who have 'potential' to get off their ass and do something.

I like rebellion better, as long as Good change, development, growht and progress is occurring, otherwise I won't waste my time looking at loud rebellious people who aren't contributing to the spin of the planet.

For the Love of God, if you carry the wonderful gift of rebellion, which can lead a charge, then make something out of the rebellion that is useful and makes a wonderful difference to the world around you. Get radical and go crazy. Tip some tables over!

I find this aspect to be really really wonderful, which is not for the faint of heart. Wear this aspect well and make something happen or get out of the way. And for some reason you are seen as or you think you are seen as, one bad apple, then remember one bad apple DOES NOT spoil the whole bunch. Give yourself a detox, shine yourself up, and get that nasty stuff off your body and out of your spirit. Why be rotten? Why?

If you are brave enough to be rebellious, then make something really crazy cool out of it. Blaze your own trail, make your own rules (as long as you don't break others rules). Your rules are not for everyone and do not have to be.

Here's the thing, when you build your own ballpark and have your own place, then you can play by your own rules, until then, if you are playing in someone else's ballpark, then you will need to play by their rules until you can build your own ballpark.

And for Goodness sake, learn from those who made mistakes. The best teachers in my Life have actually been the one's who taught me what 'not to do' merely by watching them. We all have a rebellious streak, but it does not mean you get to be an ass-hat.

It's okay to be wonderfully rebellious and creative. Even still DO NOT hurt others in the process because it's not nice. Folk, not everyone will accept us. They just won't. Surely you have friends or family who suddenly do not accept you. That right there tells you not everyone is going to accept you. Sorry for the news, but get use to it. Such is Life.

Live your Life and be the colorful apple in the bunch. You don't have to be rotten, argumentative or hateful to stand out and be different. Explore your path and learn new things. You can be different without being rotten.

Uranus is the higher-octave of Mercury. It's a brainiac and wants to learn. If you are rebelling information, listening, learning or understanding, okay. Then know that.
