Uranus Magick - pt 3

So further to my Uranus Magick experiment, I thought I'd just update readers on how things have been progressing.
I have developed the courage to let all the negatives go. By that I mean, the willingness to let everything that I do not want in my life go. The idea is that once the unwanted is shed- it will make room for the wanted.
So - there went the job....and then that means the apartment. I slowly trim down all the burdens and the worries till I am left with the minimum of what I want. My kids, my car, my laptop etc etc...books and art supplies etc.
Then, in the cocoon of a friends home, who has willingly agreed to be my shelter in this process, I begin slowly to let in only what my heart speaks to. Only those things that truly give me purpose are allowed. Those bits of yourself and your actions that make you feel connected to a grander part of life.

It is a lofty ambition. But if it isn't done, I will continuously be on that treadmill of unhappiness that I have been existing in for the past eight - ten years.

Keep only that which has meaning, that which touches your soul. All other things are unnecessary.

Uranus Magick Part two

There were so many different openings to this blog that I thought of. So many angles of life giving you lemons and past experiences that I had.
But lets start here......
Sometime back I did a mini spell, when Jupiter and Uranus were so close to each other that they looked like one star in the night sky. In my extremely indisciplined way that will make any conventional witch shocked at my behaviour, I called upon the energies of Jupiter and Uranus to inject some serious change into my life......remove the chains that bind me to this conventional eight to four life and give me the tools and freedom to earn a living off of my passion! My art, my brush and canvas other me!!!

So the Universe begins to set the stage....and I begin to throw tantrums.

Thats the thing about spell work......we want the change...and when the furniture starts shifting around and we have to make decisions to mental let go of the old mental furniture, we sometimes throw out our own fear based chain and want to hold on to a concept for all its worth!

Now lets do the rational.....if you want to let go of the 8-4, and paint....you have to let go of the 8-4 right??? So when the stage peices start moving around, the the department at the 8-4 is going through a restructure...why does my mind start panicking??

And I panicked for four whole days!!!!!

I heard the news, I felt the fear, I threw a mental tantrum! How unfair! I work so hard! How can they do this to me!

And after four days of Tantruming, I realised that I had unhealthily become to attached to being the 8-4 person. That the idea of it being removed from me brought on a sense of fear that was unreasonable.

"But you wanted this...you wanted to be an artist! To take up your new role, we have to change the stage set!" - says the Universe.

Quietly, other movements are happening on another level that bring the artist side of me to the forefront of my existence. That persona, was no longer the sideline over the last few days, but became the front man because of opportunities which came forward for my creative side.

When a buyer called to tell me the reaction by some very important people toward my art........I felt like the clouds had cleared...the doors had opened wide.....

I laughed....a stink scandalous laugh of someone who just realized the joke was on them...and could appreciate the greatness of the joke!

I order to embrace the tools of the new me...... I had to let go of the old me.......and Magick- that mischievous Pan-like creature that she was, was giving me the easy gentle way to let go a bit at a time.......
and I was throwing tantrums!!!!

By this morning I was a calm sea.....waiting to embrace whatever ride I had to endure to make that transition of change........

Uranus, the planet of change.

In all honesty, real change in any one's life is difficult to do for yourself. The other day I looked at some old journals, about five years back, and realized that my issues are still the same. Back then, as is now, I felt like other people were in control of my life and I was not following my dharma. Although I believe I am closer to where I want to be these days, I would still love to reach a particular point of success by next year.

The question also came up with some "over drinks" conversation. "What does it take to really drastically change your life?" This was in reference to our local lotto piling up to a 7 million jackpot....but the question stuck in my head. I decided to look into a few things using the Planetary Magick model.

No where could I get information as to sigils, magick squares or any such thing about Uranus. All the planetary Magick information I had stops at Saturn......bummer........guess I'll have to make up me own! :)

The following is what I could find:


Uranus aspects- change, associated with principles of genius, new ideas, discoveries and inventions. It moves the soul out of its rut and into what it needs to be. It is a catalyst for transformation of one's life. It is also associated with upheaval and destruction of old patterns set up by Saturn.

Rules Over - Aquarius (that quirky, change loving energy that is always on the fringe s of the new dawn!)

Element - Air

Magick Number - Some books said nine or four...but I followed my suspicions that it should go beyond 9 and sure enough, found a reference book that also lists 12 (Pythagoras will be pleased. He thought that 12 was Divine)
Symbol :

which has no real esoteric meaning as it was comprised of the H for Herchel (discoverer of the planet) wrapped around a globe....how magickally unexciting.

Going into my little meditation on these matters as I do I think that the following would be appropriate objects associated with Uranus:

Wands
Genie Bottles
Magick Lamps

Any object that can cause change, but is not affected by the change itself...a catalyst if you will.

Animals : Dragonflies and Butterflies (transformative)

So now that I have worked out this little bit of information, how do I go about creating a ritual to cause change in my life? Before I do any such magick I always look at the cons....can I deal with upheaval? More importantly, is the cost of the upheaval worth the profit of the change??? (economic types'll love that phrase)

I'll let you guys know what happens.......
