If all has gone according to plan- and there’s no reason (touch wood) why it wouldn’t have, I’ve escaped from the office and am in Wellington for the weekend visiting my girlfriend.

If all has gone the way that it usually does when I visit this girlfriend, there will have been laughs and wine and talks and wine and food and wine and laughs and wine and food and talks. And maybe some rugby.

I’m writing this, you see, in the past- for the future. Yep, I have my scheduling hat on.

Regardless of how my weekend has gone, one thing I do know is that todays’ major aspect is Sun conjunct Uranus.

Us astrologers use words like “surprising”, and “unexpected” and “break-free” when we talk about Uranus- and all of these are true. It absolutely could be about striking out against whatever- or whoever- you feel is holding you back. You could do that. But what would it achieve? Whenever the Sun is involved, so too is the ego, so all you might be doing is acting rashly and impulsively for little gain. Besides, this is a short transit- just a day or so…it doesn’t call for drastic measures – at least not unless there’s something else happening in the background.

Or you could shake things up yourself without breaking it all apart. How? By trying something different, going somewhere different, talking to someone different.

You can add excitement and stimulation without rebellion…if you’re prepared to try that. Or you could go for the rebellion thing and blame someone else if it goes wrong. Your call.
