Breakdown Or Breakthrough? | February 5th – 11th, 2024
Once again, the Sun will be forming a square to Uranus, the planet of revolution and change, on February 8th. These are bi-annual occurrences when most of us watch in disbelief as our best-laid plans get turned upside down or inside out.
You can think of Sun/Uranus squares as Mercury retrogrades on steroids. This one will be particularly potent because of its close proximity to the New Moon in Aquarius. This signals something under the radar that’s bound to have a surprise impact.
Admittedly, this sounds a bit distressing, but Sun/Uranus squares are just as likely to bring a breakdown as a breakthrough. It really is anyone’s guess.
If it’s a breakdown, then think of this square as the only way out of a situation that’s dominated your life for months.
And if it’s a breakthrough? Then consider it payback for all those upset apple carts you’ve had to pick up after.

Usually you’re open to new ideas and fresh perspectives, but there’s something about the person critiquing your job performance that rubs you the wrong way. Maybe it’s the brusque manner, smug condescension, or the fact they’re younger than you. Unfortunately, this person is here to stay which means you need to find a way to get along. Have you thought about praise? It may seem like this person is impervious to compliments, but approval is something everyone craves β even the person telling you how to do your job. Try it and you may elicit a smile; a tell-tale sign that there’s a human being underneath.

An unexpected development could prove unsettling on February 8th, but you need to continue with the changes you’ve already set in motion. If anything, this justifies why you’re doing what you’re doing. Sun/Uranus squares are famous for upsetting the apple cart and since Uranus entered your solar midheaven in 2008, it’s been upsetting plans on a semi-annual basis. But instead of intimidating you, it’s emboldened you because you’ve come to realize that the only person you can rely on is you. Taking back the reins not only puts you in charge of your life, it ensures you’ll be a better driver than others have been.

It’s ironic that for such a community-oriented sign like yours, there’s still this inescapable feeling that you’re just passing through; that at any moment you could leave the neighborhood, parish, or club you’ve enjoyed for years and move on to something else. Some say it’s because Sagittarians are inherently nomadic while others declare it’s because you are a true citizen of the world. In any case, you will start to notice a change in the way you interact β that people no longer get you in the way they once did. It’s a signal from the Stars that it’s time to seek out new company.
