I have seldom seen such chaos amongst the planets

9. I can't speak for Rick, but here's my take on Uranus at war and Saturn trying to make sense...

Uranus in Aries is the unstable, change-demanding energy of Uranus gone scary in the ultra-combative, powerful energies of Aries. I think of Aries as being the general, leading the whole army. Uranus (our society, the People) in that sign is an explosive renegade, a crusader largely unfettered by moral conscience. Revolutionary, but dangerous.

Saturn is exalted in the sign of Libra. Think of him there as the great judge, insightful and unwavering. I think we've seen some drawbacks to Saturn in this sign, but at this advanced stage, this is the best Libra and Saturn will get.

As for your other question--is this the new reality? For the time being, I say yes. The outer planets (Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) having moved on from Pisces, Aquarius and Sagittarius respectively and into Aries, Pisces and Capricorn mean that we are in an entirely new landscape. It's here to stay. For me, it feels radically different from what we had before.

As for the most irritating thing we all face at the moment, Mars Retrograde in Virgo, that feels like it is messing with us because it has ushered in a period of technological screw ups, problems with systems (including computer systems and the health system) and problems with health. Also, these retrogrades tend to bring on periods of exhaustion. (They are our break from go-go Mars Direct.) They force us to slow down or stop, and that feels like the last thing we need right now. For those of us with pets, it's also dropped a pile of pet problems in our laps. That's no fun, either. But I think circumstances will clear up at least a little after Mars goes direct again (April 14th.)
