Explainer: Forecast periods in global astrology
The major events that get reported each day by the news media are scripted by aspects (energy-events) formed by the planets in the sky, the major cycle charts and the Aquarian Age chart at the same time. The planets place their signatures on events and trends here on Earth.
The Uranus cycle
Progressed Mars is currently parallel birth chart Uranus in the Aquarian Age chart and in response the pace of invention has accelerated. Technology is revolutionizing manufacturing and warfare. It’s playing a crucial role in the war in Ukraine.
Uranus, the progressive ruler of Aquarius, stands for freedom, liberty and your right to be who you are and around the globe people are fighting to liberate themselves from the constraints imposed on their liberty. Its motto is ‘without freedom I’d rather die’ and those who constrain a human soul’s right to freedom and self-determination are enemies of the light. Uranus chafes and rebels against the conservative social forces and their irrational fears that put the brakes on progress.
