Click here The Traveler's Well Newsletter February 3, scott@travelerswell.com In this Newsle er: Uranus & The South Node Full Moon Medita on Dear Friends, for the first time ever, we are experiencing real winter here in Munich. Nothing like what many are experiencing in the United States however. Nonetheless, I anxiously await the arrival of Spring! After last month's article about Mercury Retrograde, we were thrilled to hear from many of you who used the early days of this retrograde period to revisit language in your biography, your marketing materials or on your web-site. We hope the bounties of your efforts are fulfilled! Mercury will remain retrograde until February 11, This month, we are writing about a transit that occurs only once every 15 years or so: transiting Uranus conjunct the transiting South Node.

2 2 of 7 2/3/2015 1:44 PM We all have wondered about our past lives. We would love to know where we have lived and the role we have fulfilled in the past. But, past lives can be a tricky subject. It is not like looking in the Encyclopedia Britannica, finding our page, and reading about our karmic past. Sorry, wrong generation... We are not able to Google our soul's history. We have to find other sources to uncover our karmic past. One source of information are our own experiences, particularly experiences that are clearly powerful. There are some experiences that give us a powerful message that we are experiencing a place, person or situation that is connected to our karmic past. These experiences provide a feeling or an insight that is more powerful than normal situations and feels like a glimmer that says, "Take a closer look, there might be something interesting for you to explore here". Alternatively, these experiences can feel like bright flashing lights that say, "Pay attention, this is important!" In this newsletter, we will explore a transit that is a key transit that opens us up to experiences connected to our karmic past lifetimes: transiting Uranus conjunct the transiting South Node, which will be exact on February 3, 2015 (Mean Nodes, not True Nodes) and will be in orb or in effect through mid-march Important Note: This article is about past life energies. For those who do not believe in past lives, you can focus on aspects of your childhood from this lifetime. So, in other words, aspects from your childhood associated with memories of things that came naturally or knowledge that felt innate to you that, over time, for one reason or another, the fire went out whether you left them behind or you were discouraged by society and family to leave them behind. So, think back to your childhood about what came naturally, what made you most happy, what felt so very special about you - those are the threads from your past that you can use as your focus for reading this article. The South Node's Role - In our Birth Chart and in Transit In our birth chart, the South Node contains the core themes from our past lifetimes, or our karmic past and past memory. Karma has a couple of meanings. First, our karma is the thoughts, words and actions that we have repeated over and over. As a result, our karma in past lives creates our habits and skills in this life. Second, karma represents the results that we experience in this lifetime that are the natural outcome of the thoughts, words and actions we have taken over and over in past lifetimes, and most importantly in this lifetime. The South Node in transit reflects the karmic themes from past lifetimes that are meant to be experienced at this particular point on our journey in this life. The South Node tells us, that the events that unfold now were meant to unfold at this point in time. Related to our karmic past, these events have two alternative types of experiences: First, events energized from the transiting South Node can be connected to either the re-emerging of memories and experiences that allow us to recognize and / or deepen our existing skills and gifts. They can point us in the direction that allows us

3 3 of 7 2/3/2015 1:44 PM to fulfill the potential we have developed in past lifetimes. Second, events energized from the transiting South Node can remind us of the karmic blockages from past lifetimes. These events come into our awareness at this time, because we now have the potential to overcome and establish new responses to old karma and our less favorable habits. We should not view our karma as good or bad. We should not judge ourselves in this way. We should also not view ourselves as subject or fated to this karma. Rather, be the architect of our life and embrace your karma wholly. Know that some aspects of your karma need to be healed, while other aspects of your karma need to be reinforced by your daily actions. Uranus, the 'Great Awakener' Transiting Uranus Conjunct the Transiting South Node Uranus is known as the "Great Awakener", which has a few key meanings: First, Uranus provides sudden events that awaken us to our true, individual potential. Second, Uranus opens our awareness to new ways of accessing information and knowledge. In this regard, Uranus is connected to our long term memory and our ability to access the memories of our distant past. Finally, Uranus is also known for promoting change and freedom. He wants you to be liberated from the restrictions that keep you from fulfilling your dharma, or your highest potential in life (as represented by the North Node of the Moon).

4 4 of 7 2/3/2015 1:44 PM With transiting Uranus conjunct the transiting South Node, the "Great Awakener" brings the potential to have unexpected experiences that awaken us to memory or awareness of our karmic past. Be aware of any sudden "Ah Ha" moments when an insight suddenly puts key aspects of your life into a new context. You could say, "Don't be surprised if you are surprised!". Sudden insights about our past are most helpful WHEN two things take place: First, when you have a new degree of clarity about the journey your soul has been on, whether it be about your gifts, your deeper identity, or the blockages that can hold you back from achieving your goals. Second, when the new insight makes more clear the path you are meant to take moving forward. So, altering responses and modifying unhelpful habits. Here are some ways these connections might occur: Viewing art, listening to music or reading a book about a particular topic of period in history and feeling profoundly connected Traveling to a specific location and being overwhelmed by the memory and connections you sense Meeting someone who immediately connects with you by connecting with the threads of your thoughts and bringing context and clarity Who is impacted? Everyone has the potential to be impacted. Uranus and the South Node will fall in a particular house or area of your birth chart. In your chart, the house and the themes associated with that house will be impacted. However, like all transits, some people will be more powerfully impacted than others. In particular: Birth charts with planets or angles between 9 and 17 Aries will be most impacted. Birth chart with planets or angles between 9 and 17 Cancer, Libra or Capricorn will be strongly impacted. What can you do? Transiting Uranus conjuncts the transiting South Node roughly every 15 years. So, this transit does not happen all that often. It is the only time it will take place in Aries in our lifetimes. This is definitely a transit that you want to take advantage of by simply being present and aware and open. Post Script... here are two examples from my travels that have opened me up to understanding my past better!

When I encountered his birthplace and museum, the power of the connections I had with Wolfram changed my awareness of myself, my soul's journey, and the path I am meant to follow in this life. Wow.

5 5 of 7 2/3/2015 1:44 PM Wolfram von Eschenbach (circa 1200), was a knight, musician, poet and astrologer. His epic "Parzival", is known as the alchemical or spiritual version of the quest for the Holy Grail. When I encountered his birthplace and museum, the power of the connections I had with Wolfram changed my awareness of myself, my soul's journey, and the path I am meant to follow in this life. Wow. This was a powerful day! The House of the Vestals and the Temple of Vesta are always my first stop in the Forum of Rome. From the first moment I encountered the temple and sanctuary, I felt totally at home. When I am here, I simply feel a quiet, inner calm and radiance. The transiting Uranus and South Node are hitting my natal Vesta, which makes it all the more powerful for me to write this Temple of the Vestal Virgins, Roman Forum Full Moon Meditation February 3, 2015 Here is a link to this month's Full Moon Meditation (about 10 minutes), which is all about
