Uranus Square Pluto 2011-2016
TIMING: Between 2012 and 2015, Uranus will square Pluto seven times. This square came into orb in 2009 and will remain in orb through 2016. Here are the dates of the exact squares between Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn:
- June 24, 2012 at 8° 24
- September 19, 2012 at 6° 57′
- May 20, 2013 at 11° 14′
- November 1, 2013 at 9° 26′
- April 21, 2014 at 13° 34′
- December 15, 2014.at 12° 35′
- March 16, 2015 with Pluto at 15° 18′
Before the first exact square in 2012:
- July 5, 2010 Uranus stationed at 0° 35′ Aries, with Pluto at 3° 52′ Capricorn.
- July 9, 2011, Uranus stationed at 4° 34′ Aries with Pluto at 5° 54 Capricorn.
After the seven exact squares, on December 25, 2015, Uranus will be stationary direct at 16° 33′ Aries, with Pluto at 14° 51′ Capricorn. The squares will then fade in intensity through 2016 and 2017.
The 2012-2015 squares are part of a longer Uranus-Pluto cycle that began with the Uranus-Pluto conjunctions on 10/9/65, 4/4/66 and 6/30/66. Both planets were within reasonable orbs of the conjunction aspect from 1961 through the end of 1969.
The historical cycle of Uranus-Pluto conjunctions alternates between approximately 111 and 143 years, due to Pluto’s highly eccentric orbit.
Harnessing the Power of Uranus Square Pluto
In this workshop Steven looks at the dynamic forces of change signified by the current series of Uranus-Pluto squares that unfold alongside the transformative light of Neptune's transit through Pisces. How can we best make use of this extraordinary and extreme field of energy, risk, and possibility? How can we harness the energy in a way that best serves our growth while avoiding obvious pitfalls? And how can we recognize when we're on the right track? Join Steven in an exploration of these rich questions that will leave you feeling more confident in identifying and working with the patterns at play, for yourself and for your clients or loved ones.
