![]() ![]() What adjustments do you need to make? What new opportunities are you seeing? Uranus forces us to look at things in a different light. It’s also the time to look for adjustments or changes you need to make, if some of your areas feel stagnant and unfulfilling. It’s time to sort out any surprises and changes that came into your life this year. On a personal level, when a planet is retrograde – appearing to go backward in the skies – it’s time for a review. Or, there could be another type of a global event that triggers further economic instability. Aggressive interest rate hikes by the Federal Bank could in fact have a further negative impact on the economy (even though they are needed to control inflation). Employment data in the US is still strong, companies reporting their second quarter earnings are doing better than the stock market expected, but….this could change in a few months. I must say, it’s all lining up to a likely economic downturn between September 2022 and early 2023. It will be retriggered by the Lunar Eclipse on Nov. The energy will be at its peak (within 1 degree orb) between Sept. Saturn and Uranus will come very close to a square one more time this year. On the other hand, I didn’t see the war in the Ukraine… ☹īack to Uranus. And that inflation would peak in the early summer (May or June), but could prove stubborn and still stay high until early to mid 2023. Unrelated to the Saturn-Uranus squares, I also predicted that oil and gas prices would skyrocket starting in April 2022, with a potential smaller spike in the fall of 2022. My other prediction was for continued supply chain disruptions that could intensify again in the fall of 2022. In my 2022 forecast, I wrote about upcoming shocks in the financial sector, including the stock market. ![]() ![]() I write this as the Saturn-Uranus square is gaining strength in the skies”. As I’m watching real estate in smaller communities in Canada, there has been a growing buying frenzy and bidding wars – caused by low inventory of detached houses and low interest rates! Your mortgage could buy you a bigger house these days – except that in many communities, those detached houses with a nice work-from-home office are in short supply. I remember taking time off school for a food line-up, as a 13 year old! So the first thing that went through my mind last spring was, “food shortages could be next”.īut, potential disruptions of the supply chain brought on by this square don’t have to be about food. At the time I was growing up in the former Soviet Union, some of the foods, such as butter and meat, were rationed. Something could be in short supply – or we think it will be! What’s interesting is, the first time we felt this square (even though it was at a wide 5 degree orb – not very powerful), was in the spring of 2020, with its infamous toilet paper shortage. Considering Uranus is currently in Taurus, we can also experience shortages, real or perceived. On a practical level, Saturn-Uranus squares are associated with financial instability (hopefully not!). That’s on the spiritual and societal level. So 2021 could become a transitional year, when out of last year’s experiences comes a new way of living and interacting as a society, that will last for a number of years. Uranus is the planet of change, and Saturn is the planet of conservative “status quo”. But, experiences that lead to change and growth can feel stressful. A square is a tense energy, pushing us out of the comfort zone and into a new territory. Let’s Start with the Economy FirstĪs an interesting look back, I called some of the impacts of the Saturn-Uranus square in my astrology forecast for 2021, posted on Facebook (I didn’t have my AstroLoggia website back then). This year, Uranus is still involved in a tense tangle (a square) with Saturn, so we will feel the impacts of this retrograde on a global level as well as on a personal level. Uranus, the planet of freedom, change and the unexpected, turns retrograde on August 24, at 18° Taurus. ![]()
