Hi everyone, this is Acyuta-bhava from Nightlight Astrology and today we are going to open up the first of a two part series on the Sun square to Uranus, which we will do before we look at the new moon in Leo that's coming through this weekend. So today and tomorrow we're gonna look at Sun square Uranus Friday we're going to look at the new moon in Leo which is also squaring Uranus. So today and tomorrow we'll do a two part series and what I want to do today is kind of usher in this new series of storytelling series. And I'm so I'm going to tell you Sun Uranus stories today, some of them that occurred during the Uranus in Aries square to the Sun in Cancer and my birth chart. The reason I'm doing this is because I'm also very excited to announce that our storytelling series is ready to launch. So if you have a story of your own, of any kind that is related to astrological transits, then you can share them either in the chat box of the YouTube channel, which we really appreciate. Because it like it helps boost the visibility of the channel if people share stories and comment and use hashtags and things like that. But also, it's easier for us to archive them in a in a roundabout way. It's hard to explain but so the second way that you can do it if you prefer not to leave your story in the chat box of the YouTube section is you can also if you're going to put it in the chat box section put hashtag grabbed - the grahas, the planets they were called grabbers so we're calling this series grabbed, grabbed by the planets. Put hashtag grabbed, put the the type of aspect that you are going to tell us about say it was, Sun square Uranus put hashtag grabbed and then before you tell your story, put the aspect Sun square Uranus and you can use the signs if you want to, Sun in Leo square, Uranus and Taurus or whatever then tell your story. Make sure you don't mind if we read it or share it with others. If you use that hashtag it's fair game for us to include it in a future episode, storytelling episode. Or you can now email us if you prefer to have a little bit more privacy. You can email us the email addresses grabbed@nightlightastrology.com. So that's a that's a fun, fun email address. So if you want to share it that way, just know that we will not respond to your email we're just taking it in and putting it into an archive. We will be launching this officially in terms of like doing episodes where we share your stories probably next week, maybe a little bit tomorrow potentially if I have some I already have some good ones from Mercury square Uranus that I might share but that's just a bit so greabbed@nightlight astrology.com or hashtag grabbed n the comment section. I'm going to share some of my own stories from sun Uranus which is perfecting in the next couple of days. But first let me pop it up on the real time clock and give you a look. So the transit is happening between now and Friday. And that would be Friday, August 6. And you can see what me just the outer planets put them back in. So you can see right here that the sun at 12 degrees Leo is moving through the square to Uranus at 14 degrees mercury just went through it yesterday. did a video on that and you're gonna see there is the sun by Friday August 6 into Saturday August 7, moving through the square to Uranus. Okay, so tomorrow we'll break down this archetypal combination a little bit more abstractly.

3:59
Today I wanted to start with some storytelling. So I've got 10 stories from the transit of Uranus to the sun in my birth chart that I want to share you that really are demonstrate the archetypal combination of the planets. So you've got the sun often relates to our sense of life, purpose, ambition, sense of something that gives us a coherent sense of meaning based on the actions we're taking with our lives the things we're trying to become. There is the sun contains within it a sense of the ideal image toward which our life is trying to move toward where all things are kind of conspiring to move us toward the soul. Seed image that the sun is often representing in the birth chart can also represent fame authority figures father's any kind of wisdom or source of knowledge or illumination clarity, sun sunlight as in wisdom and enlightenment. Now you're in it. Got a revolution breakthroughs, sudden emancipation, liberation, inventiveness, defiance, rebelliousness, sudden, disruptive events. Okay, so here's my 10 stories. Here's how I got grabbed by the planets by Uranus and the sun during this time.

5:21
The first one that I remembered that, that when I sat down to make this list today was the sound of my father's voice on the telephone, when he called to tell me that my grandfather had passed away. It was a sound of grief, but much more than it was grieving, it was a moment of very deep liberation. Like, and I don't say that with any offence to my grandfather, because I loved him. But my grandfather was a really difficult man. And, you know, he was an alcoholic, when my dad grew up, he was abusive. He was a war veteran, and eventually, kind of quit drinking cold turkey and became kinda like a born again, Christians who's kind of a, I don't know, if the phrase is still used, dry, dry drunk. That was the phrase that I heard growing up, so I apologise if that's like no longer PC or whatever. But that was. That was what he was like. So even though he became a better person, as he aged, when he finally passed, it was a long time to that he passed took a long time for him to pass, there was a lot of like caretaking in the end. But my father's voice was, like pure relief and release. There was grief, there was sorrow, but there was also like, Oh, my God, this lightning, it was like a lightning strike and a lightening, literally. So that's my first story.

6:50
The second one was, and these are in no particular order. The second one was finding bhakti yoga, I actually found a teacher during this time, and also a guru during this time. I'll get to that in a minute, another one on my list. But finding bhakti yoga, it was a form of yoga that appeared in my life was sort of randomly. And it just was the feeling of like someone putting a really bright light, like in the centre of my body, and just was like, Whoa, I love this, this is, this is something I already know. And this is something that I feel like I've connected to in past lives or something, it was just such an illuminating effect. So that's number two, for me was finding the form of yoga that was really created a kind of spiritual breakthrough for me personally. But again, it was a very similar feeling of like, the illumination the suddenness, the brightness, the excitement, the feeling of a breakthrough, like the clouds bursting, or something.

7:55
Third one, having my second daughter, this is weird, because basically, my first daughter was like, all Saturn. For me, there was this feeling of this is really hard. My freedom is suddenly limited. I love my daughter, she's, like, you know, this beautiful soul, let's come into my life. But the amount of responsibility and the shock, the ego death, that oh my god, it was really hard for me personally. Number two was different. Not in terms of how I feel about them, but just the second experience being a father, to like, now it's number two. So when that happened, it was this feeling of being free from youthful idealism. I can't explain it, but it was like when my when I held my second daughter and I was like, I'm a dad, like, I'm like a full on dad. Now I've got two little girls, you know, then it was it was just this feeling of like, what a relief that I can put away so many, so many, like, idle uses of my time, like when I talk to people who don't have kids, no offence to any of you out there. And they're like, Oh, I just I wish I had more time for this or that. You know what I'm like, you have plenty of time. You don't know what you're, you know what I mean? Like, I'm just playing but, you know, this feeling of like, there's something about this second child coming in my life, my daughter summer, that just made me realise I could set aside so many things that were like all the things I thought I was gonna do and become that I just couldn't anymore if I was going to be a good dad, and it was actually felt like a huge burden, being relieved again. So this weird feeling of like, you know, Uranus will deliver freedom in lots of weird ways, the feeling of liberation and lots of weird ways. And for me, one of them is my second daughter being born and the feeling of being free from this weird kind of youthful idealism, but feeling like legitimately free and also not feeling trapped or stuck or being pulled in the direction of freedom and youth and responsibility and fatherhood and it was just like boom it second daughter came in and I was fully committed and feeling very free about it. Hellenistic astrology came into my life at the on the early part of the Uranus application to the sun. In my chart, it was pretty early on. But as it perfected, I found developed a little bit of a closer relationship with Robert Schmidt, from project hindsight, who was one of the progenitors of Hellenistic astrology in the modern era. So that was a huge breakthrough for me finding his teachings and listening to his lectures. I had two different gurus appear in the Bhakti tradition. That's number five.

10:45
This is a funny one, number six or so gurus obviously being very illuminating figures that set us free from the bondage of karma little you know, obviously Little by little, but that finding really good teachers, and really good channels of spiritual wisdom and integrity help set us free, it can be a very sun Uranus dynamic. Number six, I was at a baseball game. I think I might have told this story before on my channel, I'm not sure. But I was at a baseball game. And I was by myself. I like to go to buy guy like, I love going to baseball games and movies by myself. Not restaurants so much. I don't know why, but baseball games and movies. Anyway, so I'm at the baseball game by myself and I was journaling or something like that. And I ended up having some iced tea. And then I ended up having another one and then another one. And it was a long game. It was like one or two extra innings or something. And so I ended up having like four iced teas. And for some reason, because when I'm at home, I don't drink caffeinated tea. I always am drinking like herbal tea. And I just totally spaced on the fact that tea cat like iced tea has caffeine in it. I don't know why, because it's stupid. Of course it does. Right, but so anyway, I got home from the game. And as I was like leaving the game, I realised that I was like, I was like, Hi, I was like, you know, like a kid drinking a two or like a six year old drinking a two litre of Mountain Dew or something like I was, I was over the moon. And so the all I was just, it was like a manic episode that lasted until morning. I couldn't sleep a wink. But during that night, I realised that I wanted to start therapy. Saying it like That's funny. But I just I realised that I wanted to start therapy with a union. I'd always wanted to have union therapy in my life. So I did just started therapy with the union one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. So another mentor appeared because of this crazy kind of electrical manic experience. Very Uranus, Sun. It wasn't because I sat there all night, freaking out like visiting my demons. I was just up all night, I had a lot to think about. And I was like, I think I want to talk to someone regularly because I'm talking to people like all the time as an astrologer. But I, I haven't really seen someone consistently for myself. That was the main thing that came through is very illuminating, though.

13:05
Number seven, realising that I didn't really want to be involved with the yoga studio anymore, it was a burden and I really just wanted to focus on astrology. Eventually, during a Uranus approach of a Uranus transit to my wife, Sun and Moon, she had the same realisation, we ended up closing the yoga studio, freedom, liberating insights. Number eight, the early part of the Uranus sun dynamic, I had the realisation that the only reason I had never started a YouTube channel is because I'm scared of being on camera in front of people. And you might not think that you'd be like, Oh, you seem really comfortable on the camera in front of the camera or whatever. But actually, I'm really comfortable when it comes to teaching classes. Like within the curriculum, my slides, I've got like a whole, my Capricorn Moon is very comfortable with that, you know. But when it came to like just being like a podcast personality and doing things a little bit more off the cuff, and creating content, I liked the control for my whole career. I was a written blog, I was writing all of my blogs, my daily content was all written. And I realised that the only reason I wasn't starting a new YouTube channel was that I was scared of being on the camera in this particular kind of with this particular kind of medium. So I just decided to do it. And voila, lightning struck and I found out that I could do it and it wasn't as scary as I thought it was going to be. Number nine, I launched my horary practice, I suddenly realised that I'm ready to do horary for other people for a fee. I'd been practising horary by donation for maybe three, four or five years, something like that, I'd have to look back at the dates and everything but it was a number of years. And I realised all of a sudden I'm ready to offer this to other people breakthrough in my horary practice.

14:56
Last but not least, during all of this time I ended up I had after my first daughter was born I had gained weight. I was pretty depressed honestly, because of the lack of sleep. The she was really colicky it was she she screamed, I feel like probably 60 to 70% of the time that she was awake for like her first year of life. During that year I gained about 30 pounds. So Uranus comes through to the sun, I lost that 30 pounds, and I also decided to get completely sober like at that point I was I had really put me on a path of sobriety as had yoga, but occasionally I'd have a drink occasionally I might have some caffeine like you know stuff like that. And I realised during this time as I was losing weight and getting healthy again that it for me it was just a no go like these things were not my they weren't helpers in my life. So caffeine, alcohol, especially, were gone. So those were all of my sun Uranus moments. I thought you guys might like to hear those here. You know those stories if you have a story. We will talk more about the archetypal combination tomorrow from a slightly more studious place.
