Uranus conjunct* 1996-TR66! in Taurus from April 14, 2019 to May 1, 2021. The bank president addresses all senior officers at the company headquarters, “New types of security & surveillance issues which require a proactive overhaul of shared resources & experienced personnel nevertheless coerce upper management to withhold any public announcement of any plan to implement a radical & widespread change in protocol. Such security & surveillance issues involve national security concerns which we cannot discuss simultaneously with those whose financial interests in our enterprise focus upon our stock price. Regardless, we require privacy to concentrate upon our focus: the need to build an infrastructure to support new security & surveillance protocol for the medium & long-term future.”

ARIES – Keep the details of your personal & familial finances top secret private. Uranus conjunct 1996-TR66 confirms that you have bills, responsibilities & ambitions which require that you devote a large percentage of your money upon paying for expenses – on time. If family members & friends know what your income, savings & responsibilities are, then they know how to use temptation to negotiate with you. Forestall that aggressively, “I don’t have the money – end of story.”

TAURUS – Because Taurus the Bull has a reputation for, occasionally, falling into one or another different manifestations of “a Scorpio mood,” you know well what it feels like, and do not particularly enjoy the feeling, when the local police looks rather unfavorably upon you. Therefore, in the spirit of speaking power to truth, Uranus conjunct 1996-TR66 declares that now is the time for a conservative haircut & homebody mentality. Do not “let it all hang out.”

GEMINI – Read Leo. Uranus conjunct 1996-TR66 denotes that corporate officials will stonewall all journalists & the public at large. Why? Because these corporate officials insist that it is not in the public interest to know. Moreover, do not automatically presume that these corporate officials represent the public’s enemies because they take this stance – in this instance, there may be legitimate reasons why information is confidential & proprietary. Also: Try not to confuse private sector power brokers with the government, particularly the government of Donald Trump & the Trump family. Private sector power brokers are responsible to their shareholders & are not publicly elected officials. Know your boundaries as a citizen.

CANCER – Ambitious professional associates demand that you commit yourself wholeheartedly to purely professional matters. Uranus conjunct 1996-TR66 reminds you that money & power are involved – not just your own money & power, but all available money & power for which all your peers & associates compete. Certain associates refuse to work with individuals less committed to themselves because those less committed will drag them down. Decide whether you will lead, follow or get out of the way.

LEO – Read Gemini. Community activists, journalists: CEOs, power brokers & bosses will not answer your questions about certain issues, no matter what, because many of those issues constitute proprietary information about that the company. Uranus conjunct 1996-TR66 warns you severely not to adopt the idea, the posture or the belief that you are entitled to such information. Know where that line is drawn in the sand – and accept that it was not the CEOs, power brokers & bosses who actually drew that line in the first place.

VIRGO – Disciplinary authorities within your industry sector or within your school, as well as law enforcement, announces that the scale of surveillance by regulatory authorities & law enforcement will henceforth be very intense. Uranus conjunct 1996-TR66 will demand & enforce compliance. Of course, you realize that not everybody will comply – but those who do not comply will be punished or expelled. Appreciate this flat statement of a blunt reality. Don’t play games with the law.

LIBRA – Just like Biggie Smalls within the “Intro” of Ready to Die, telling his accomplice that he is going to rob this train, right now – “Is you wit me?” – Uranus conjunct 1996-TR66 announces that certain friends of your past & current lives now intend to commit what they perceive to be lucrative crimes as they ask you & many other people in their lives, “Are you in or are you out?” Whatever you choose to do, be prepared to say goodbye . . . to somebody.

SCORPIO – Do not presume that partners cut you out of their lives out of a sense of malice or disloyalty – indeed, Uranus conjunct 1996-TR66 confirms that partners may actually be trying to protect you. However, in any event, if these partners assert that they are ending their friendships with you to take their lives in another direction, do not try to convince them otherwise – and don’t try to understand why. It is not about you; it is about them – and they are acting like adults by taking sole responsibility for it.

SAGITTARIUS –All that you need to do is to stay at work, keep your nose clean. Uranus conjunct 1996-TR66 announce to you your schedule for your life. Eat enough vegetables & fruits along with meat & fish at lunch & dinner. Get enough sleep every night – even on Thursday when all your colleagues indulge an early weekend. Straight & narrow from nine to five in the professional workplace – then straight home for dinner. No distractions!

CAPRICORN – Artists, writers, film industry professionals: Uranus conjunct 1996-TR66 warns that you are taking a much bigger risk than you realize by changing your style to address a different audience. There is no guarantee that the audience that you now address will be interested in anything that you have to say. Before you commit to this course of action – talk to your most trusted advisors to get their advice about your current moves & your current work, and what they think will happen in “worst-case scenario” terms (No need to go over “success story scenarios” because your truest friends will hope that they are wrong & you are right). . . and what they really think you should do about all of this.

AQUARIUS – A recent change in location in where you work, or your recent purchase of property or signing a new lease in a different neighborhood or city, truly liberates you from negative past associations – but Uranus conjunct 1996-TR66 does not at all suggest that such negative past associations will just go away of their own accord. You don’t need to be too aggressive – but you do need to be firm. Just assert, “I’m changing my life. Good luck to you.”

PISCES – When at home & in your neighborhood, Uranus conjunct 1996-TR66 confirms that you need to be who you are on your own terms. You do not need to impress anybody because there is nobody to impress. If none of your neighbors laugh at your jokes because they don’t understand them, tell the same jokes to a different group of neighbors. You are who you are & that is how it is going to be. Turn off the telephone & shut down your home email to prevent workplace zombies from invading your natural environment. Do whatever you want – with whomever you want to do it! Or do absolutely nothing!

ARTICLE #10

The North Node$ transits Cancer from November 16, 2018 to June 4, 2020. Currency trader Eric Packer, the protagonist of Don DeLillo’s Cosmopolis, considers himself the smartest man in the room – any room. Packer became a billionaire executing the exact same risky transactions as he did through the course of DeLillo’s novel, during which he loses hundreds of millions of dollars in one day betting that the Japanese Yen would plummet in value – by demonstrating ironclad conviction in dangerously leveraged counterintuitive gambles. Such strategic vigor colors Packer’s basic personality. When Packer visits one of his many paramours, Didi Fancher, Didi informs him of the upcoming availability of a prime period Mark Rothko painting, “It will remind you that you’re alive.” Didi, instead of feeling fulfilled by the appropriate concomitant gratitude that she expects Packer to provide, becomes horrified when Packer asserts that he wants to buy the fourteen paintings within, and, the Rothko Chapel of Houston, Texas, “In my apartment. There’s sufficient space. I’ll make more space.” Packer’s flippancy towards the perpetually despondent & neurotic Rothko, which Rothko himself would undoubtedly revile, illustrates how Packer’s narcissistic acquisitions inject him with an adrenaline rush based upon his adolescent penchant for destruction. It falls under the same paradigm of Chrimatistikós, the Greek word for “moneymaking,” as per his Chief of Theory, Vija Kinski. “You paid the money for the number itself,” Kinski interprets. “This is what you bought. And it’s worth it. The number justifies itself.”

ARIES – We’ve heard it all before, “The bigger they come, the harder they fall.” But that is just the sound of a loud “thud.” The real questions that the North Node in Cancer asks, “When money is everything and one loses it all – loses everything – what, exactly, if anything, truly matters?”

TAURUS – Booze! So rivals can brag about their “victories” to your face. Cuisine! So you & your (date) (lover) (spouse) (paramour) may define “the rules of engagement.” The North Node in Cancer comments, “How careless elitists are with the Sword of Damocles.” Do any of these cutthroats buy a kid an ice-cream cone just to see the kid smile?

GEMINI – Divest from enough investments in stocks, bonds, artwork & excess property to accumulate enough cash on hand to make you feel comfortable amidst volatility in all types of markets. The North Node in Cancer encourages you to put yourself in a position where you can lose absolutely everything in which you have invested with the attitude of dispassionate abstraction because you have real currency on hand to survive the long term.

CANCER – A spouse or partner who demands control has already lost control. The North Node in Cancer instructs you to refuse to engage once such individuals cross that very clear threshold.

LEO – The North Node in Cancer denotes that employees & colleagues who skip steps, and who refuse to complete required logs, are manifestly untrustworthy. If it is not transparent, it is most likely dishonest. Raise the objections despite the uproar against you.

VIRGO – Parents: Discipline male teenagers strictly – particularly if they participate in school sports. The North Node in Cancer signifies that many such male teenagers will behave more recklessly, and will get themselves involved in punitively spectacular episodes, more than usual. Other parents – especially mothers – will be truly irate. Assert, “Only role models graduate without a police record – get it, son?”

LIBRA – Your rage towards local politicians or corrupt business leaders may not be misplaced but is nevertheless futile. The North Node in Cancer reminds the justice-minded Libran that sometimes generations must pass before a full reward or punishment can be given. Pay more attention to those powerful people who take distinct care of the obedient masses who constitute “the salt of the earth.”

SCORPIO – How you say what you say can get you in legal trouble. Instructions, directions, jokes, news items, critiques – the North Node in Cancer warns that censors will key on you if they have reason to correct you even once. Speak so formally & drily that you put people to sleep.

SAGITTARIUS – Sequester your liquid income as if you plan to buy property. If you don’t, the North Node in Cancer will ask you, “How do you want to eliminate all your discretionary income – through budgeting for a new home, via your spouse or via legal judgment by the police?”

CAPRICORN – The North Node in Cancer warns the Goat not to alienate spouse or business partner. You are entitled to stupid mistakes – but you are not entitled to be a jerk. Be good to those loved ones upon whom you must rely.

AQUARIUS – You get revenge against hidden enemies in the bureaucracy – but only, as the North Node in Cancer now qualifies, if you do not fight back. Allow allies to fight your battles for you.

PISCES – Adults behave badly, even though they know better, because they are wicked. The North Node in Cancer conversely emphasizes that children who do not know any better are full of love – and innocence. Shield your children from such wicked influences. Teach your children well!

@ The North Node and the South Node, or the Nodes of the Moon, represent current & past life karma, respectively, according to astrologer Martin Schulman. Astronomically, the North Node & the South Node are the two points at which the Moon's orbit intersects the ecliptic, setting a timetable for large-scale Solar & Lunar Eclipses over time.
