(Trigger warning: earthquakes, death, violence, disasters)

If you’ve ever done an exercise routine or crammed for a work or school project, you know the feeling of the “Last Push” — the last burst of energy you let out when the Finish Line is near, that last gulp of air and the last call for Divine help until your task is complete. It can be stressful, but at the same time, it’s also an exhilarating feeling: as if all our life force is concentrated onto a certain point and we are supercharged creatures, almost as if the adrenaline rush has granted us superhuman qualities. Once the line is passed and our mission is complete, we collapse into a smoldering heap, our fuel tank depleted, perhaps, but for those fleeting moments of hustling, we feel more alive than ever.

Like us, the celestial bodies also comply with the same pattern of the “Last Push.” Not going down without a fight, their powers are intensified towards the end of their own celestial ‘tasks,’ and a prime demonstration of this occurs whenever a planet, luminary or point approaches the 29th Degree of a Sign. This is all and well if the planet in question is a personal one with a short orbit period, like the Moon or Mercury, but the effect is much more potent when the planet is Generational. This is because Generational planets are slower in transit, generally leading to stronger effects. Ever had a Pluto transit before?

One of such Generational planets is Uranus, the planet ruling sudden events, instability, electricity, science, technology, intuition, and humanism among others. It is also widely regarded to rule earthquakes since these often occur unpredictably. And when Uranus transits the 29th degree, as it is doing now, it can bring rather potent effects along with it. Let’s take a particular case in the past.

On March 11, 2011, Uranus was in its final day in 29 degrees Pisces. Additionally, Neptune was easing into the 29th degree of Aquarius as well, forming a mutual reception with it. What occurred is probably quite known to you. It was the day of the 2011 Japan earthquake, a 9.0-9.1 magnitude quake which also resulted in a tsunami. Its total damages reached an approximated $360 billion USD and the death toll was just under 16,000. It also caused the infamous meltdown of the Fukushima Nuclear Reactors, whose nuclear waste humanity is still presently trying to clean up.

It certainly had all the elements of the planets and signs involved. A strong earthquake (29 degrees Uranus) unleashes a huge tsunami and damages a nuclear reactor (Pisces: potential energy). It may have even been intensified by the mutual reception with Neptune in Aquarius.

2003, the year that Uranus went from 29 degrees Aquarius into Pisces more than once, was considered the “deadliest year of earthquakes since 1990,” with 25 times the number of earthquakes compared to the previous year.

Now that Uranus is in 29 degrees of Aries, the events may be a little different. Since it is in Aries, we may see a major event relating to violence, warfare, explosions, terrorism, volcanoes, or even fire itself. Be careful with sharp objects. An earthquake is of course still possible. Mars is also about to conjunct Uranus next week, so it could add its lesser malefic powers to the potency of Uranus’ unpredictable strength, and may even trigger it.

The good news is that there is no longer a mutual reception with Neptune this time, so the effect is probably weaker. However, we still have that Mars conjunction to worry about that could escalate any possible conflict.

This is the second time Uranus is in 29 degrees Aries. The first time was on May 2018, the month of the Hawaii Earthquake and volcanic eruption, plus more.

I am not at all saying that only the 29th degree of Uranus can cause earthquakes, but rather that it is one of the periods when they are far more likely to occur. This is by no means an exact science especially with my limited mental capability to compute such things, but take good precaution at or around the following days:

I may have missed a few dates perhaps, but the general idea is to calm down and be more careful until Uranus eases up into Taurus on March 7 onwards.

As for our personal lives, we may see an uptick of anger and hatred among those around us over the coming few weeks as Uranus in Aries draws to a close. We may see more people suddenly fly into a rage or meet accidents and violence out of nowhere. The most important thing to remember is for us to be the better people and not to take part in the violence and anger ourselves even as these envelop us.

This is not a call for panic or alarm. Only a call for caution and mental fortitude. Death, after all, is not to be feared.

This is also a call for us to cleanse our intentions and meditate upon goodness in order to mitigate any negative energies that may beset us. Meditation in large numbers, after all, has been proven to reduce crime and benefit the world.

Stay safe, my friends, and may we all emerge unharmed.
