This is the first of three trines between Jupiter and Uranus, the next occurs on May 4, 2006 and the final trine on August 29, 2006. Expect startling innovations and revelations during this time. The last time this pair occurred in a trine when Uranus was in Pisces and Jupiter in Scorpio was December 1922 through September 1923. But a greater and more stunning likeness to the current chart containing the Jupiter - Uranus trine was back in 1757 during the French and Indian War. A chart containing not only this trine in the same signs but Pluto was also in Sagittarius as it is now. There's more. Neptune and Saturn were in opposing signs as they are now and in the same signs but reversed -Saturn in Aquarius and Neptune in Leo.

MARS SQUARE PLUTO - Exact Aug 29 2006
Brief description: I call this "the steamroller aspect". Steamrollers when used for the purpose intended are powerfully effective for flattening the surface to create a flat hard top for a new road. On a symbolic level it may indicate that those in a position of power may mow others down with greed and a severe competitive drive at the root of the intention. On a positive note, the objective is to accomplish a mission at all cost and pull out all stops. Therefore for those planning to take charge of life and redesign a new path, may succeed in erasing all existing remnants of the past or current setting to assure a new future. This combination allows for very serious strategic planning and allow one to cut a new design. Impatience shortchanges strategic plans that may affect failure. Speeders get speeding tickets. Overdrawn bank accounts. Pornography.
The physiological indications are for a necessary surgery; irritable bowl disorder. Psychological indications may include a fear of being "raked over hot coals"; obsessive drives and behaviors; some may experience a bout of paranoia with difficulty discriminating between reality and tricks of the mind. This may be true for those in positions of power who feel threatened by both insiders and outsiders. Deep nervous tension that is hard to sort through. Good day to process anger in your therapist's office. .There are strong sexual urges with this combination. A strong drive for dramatic core change.
For personal use: Get serious about your future. Avoid allowing strong sexual urges to interfere with your primary objective. This is a time for personal transformation. Access your own power and reflect on help from those in positions of power but do not approach them unless you are the one in a powerful seat. Break out of the grip of the monkey on your back.
For business use: Things to avoid are annoying symbols of greed and misuse of others finances. Proceed only if you are well prepared. Dig deep and plan to cut new fabric.
Powerful drives. The urge for dominance and territory. Obsessions. Extreme efforts. Sexual responses. The desire to mate. Efforts at personal transformation. Medical procedures. Strategic thinking -- plans for control.

SATURN OPPOSITION NEPTUNE - Exact Aug 31 2006
Brief description: From Solar Fire: A crisis of confidence. Areas of your life which you thought were ideal start to crumble before your very eyes undermining your self-esteem. Do not be too hard on yourself, although this is easier said than done during this transit. It would be better if you could take some time out for quiet reflection and try to gain some perspective. It is simply that some areas of your life need to dissolve so that you can take a new direction. There is no need to be self-critical. It is more important that you adopt a "go-with-the-flow" attitude and where possible withdraw from demanding activities, perhaps even going into a retreat. Spiritual studies, communing with nature and soothing music could all prove helpful and healing during this process, although you could find that they increase your sense of confusion and loss. If this is the case then withdraw until the end of the transit. The aim is to be involved with activities and people who help to soothe your agitated state, rather than increase it. In addition From Dietrech: Father issues are large. The father principal runs past the birth father to your relationship with a spiritual father. Confidence once crushed by high expectations from the birth father are healed by the spiritual father. Belief that outer images support inner strength fail in your private world. This is a time to recharge your spiritual batteries. Music is a method to encourage inner peace. For the creative side this aspect has multi-levels for future applications with intermittent periods of down time. Confusion and lack of direction is the biggest obstacle. Being without creates the need to go back to basics. The oil issue is long and hard with a domino affect.
