I was taking a look at the upcoming Uranus retrograde, and so far the symbolism is quite interesting.
The degree in which a planet turns retrograde symbolically represents the concept that it needs to temporarily turn back from. It needs to pick up something for re-evaluation before it can properly complete its progression; such is the beauty of the constancy of the moving stars.
So when we have Uranus, the higher mind, turning retro, we have a concept that needs to be reacquainted with so that humanity might more properly progress. Uranus is the mark of true change and progress amongst society.
Uranus turns retro in august. It will be in the 29th degree of aries.
Heres the symbol from Dane Rudhyar's "An Astrological Mandala":
THE MUSIC OF THE SPHERES.
KEYNOTE: Attunement to cosmic order.
At the fourth stage of a five-fold sequence a technique is often presented. It is based on the experiences implied in the preceding symbols. In this case, what the individual who has entered into a new realm of possibilities of action should learn is the harmonic principles operating in this realm. The music of the spheres is the celestial embodiment of principles of polyphonic interplay. The individual advancing "on the Path" should seek to understand and realize his place in the vast scheme of mankind's evolution, in the immense Chord of the harmony of the universe.
The message to the seeker for meaning which is implied in this symbol is TO LISTEN TO THE INNER VOICE; to listen without personalizing this Voice in a glamour-producing manner. It is the Voice of the Whole, of which one begins to realize that one is a tiny little part - yet a significant part, for every note of the universal Chord has its place and its ineradicable meaning.[/b]
This is such a uranian theme: listening to the inner voice in order to align oneself with the cosmic whole.. This is the concept that humanity can potentially regain during this retrogradation process..
How might humanity more adequately embody "the music of the spheres"? Well that is represented by the degree that it turns direct. It turns direct in january of 2018 in the 25th degree of aries:
"
THE POSSIBILITY FOR MAN TO GAIN EXPERIENCE AT TWO LEVELS OF BEING.
KEYNOTE: The revelation of new potentialities.
In some unspecified way the symbol is a guarantee that man can operate successfully at two levels of consciousness, if he has previously met the condition mentioned in the preceding symbol. "Be open. Be able and willing to shape your translucent mind in the form revealing spiritual fulfillment. And you will be able to experience life and power on inner as well as outer planes." The implied message is one of faith. Man can only truly experience what he deeply believes he can experience.
This is the last stage of this fifth five-fold sequence of cyclic phases. It announces the possibility of a new step in evolution, but it is still only a possibility, a promise. The individual is truly ON PROBATION."
So it seems to say here that Uranus requires some focus on the concept of faith, and a proper openness to the power of belief in order to progress towards cosmic integration and wholeness. It is interesting that it describes "probation".. There is always a risk in reaching out into the unknown. Maybe these risks are what require some reevaluation.
During this time great minds will have the possibility to gain new insights or new opportunities regarding previous blockages, especially in regards to the mental and inner realms of existence.
We might more properly hit our high notes if we remain steadfast in open faithfulness to the new potentialities of the universe.
The degrees of the north node are also poignant to this retrogradation process, as universally the north node in transit can show us the area which sets the tone for human evolution at the moment. I will post the degrees of the north node and the accompanying charts later.
