Predictable chaos

I haven't been on the planet lately, or at least that's how it feels, because life has more or less demanded that I operate outside my comfort zone in order to accomplish goals. For example, today I have to sit in a basement room for 8+ hours taking a class that feels like it's entitled Grass: How it Grows, and if you think I'm kidding, there's an emphasis on filling out forms while experiencing various scenarios. A week ago I sat for a math test that fried my brain. If you know me at all, you know I'm out of my comfort zone filling out forms and pursuing math on purpose, but these are stepping stones to other goals. In fact, the class right now is stopping me from studying for something *else* that's also boring but necessary.

I have a harsh Uranus transit to my sun at the moment, which is what's doing this. Uranus is the planet of 'left field': one day you're minding your own business and the next day you're hammering at yourself about quadratic equations (if you're me) and people think you've gone slightly nuts. I come from a highly Uranian background, so I'm used to rolling with sudden plot twists and am fortunate in that sense, because stubborn people often rail against change on principle.

Anyway, harsh Uranus transits are sudden plot twists, but they're also having to deal with autocratic shit that you bristle under. I like to fight stupid shit as much as the next person, but I don't have the energy to do much of that, so I just pack snacks and make the most of it.

The more you get exposed to astrology, the more these transits have a certain feel to them:

• Uranus = out of comfort zone, random shit, autocraticness you have to deal with, loss of patience. Sometimes: hypertension.

• Saturn = pressure, limits, reality, consequences of past actions, a sense that time has stopped. Sometimes: rewards for good work.

• Pluto = extreme emotions in either direction. Sometimes both directions simultaneously.

• Neptune = a loss of a sense of predictable reality, as well as the inability to explain your experience to others. Often: weird health shit.

The funny thing: this is not complicated. The ways in which these energies show up varies from person to person, but it's not some great mystery. You learn to stop railing against the energy and let it do its thing, even if it changes you. Even if you're suddenly staring at radical equations and trying to make sense out of them. (If you want to scare me away, show me this symbol: √.)

Also, I have had a Plutonian week and I'm pissed off about it, so I wrote about that here.
