As mentioned earlier, spirituality is going to be very important in coming years. In 2010 you will only feel the first inklings–the first stirrings–of it, especially those of you born early in the sign. But in 2011 (and for years after) all of you will be deeply involved.

In fact we could go so far as to say that spirituality in coming years will be your single most dominant interest. For Uranus is your career planet–it is the planet of success on one level, but also the planet that shows your main purpose in life. His move into the 12th house, therefore, is very significant. There are many levels to this interpretation.

First off, you are going to be more idealistic about your career. You are going to want a career that helps the planet as a whole–something that blesses all of life. Career will not just be about personal success or ego gratification. (This has been happening in your life for some years and will only get stronger with time.) Second, even a mundane career will be enhanced by your involvement in charitable activities and altruistic causes. It’s a very curious thing: While you apparently deny yourself and help others–donate time and money for altruism–your career and public image are magically enhanced. There are all sorts of scenarios as to how this happens–you make important contacts as you do these things, you develop a good public reputation, superiors make note of your activities–perhaps most importantly, you pay off negative karma which might have been hindering you. When a person acts altruistically with no thought of personal gain, then, as Emerson said, ‘the universe conspires to make it happen’. All the powers of heaven will scramble to pay it, and if it can’t be paid in one way it will be paid in another.

For those of you already advanced on a spiritual path, this transit is showing something even deeper. That spirituality itself–doing your spiritual practices and exercises–is your career and purpose–everything else in life must be subservient to that. At first blush this seems outlandish. What do my breathing exercises, chanting, prayer, meditation or asana practice have to do with my career? Plenty. These spiritual practices change your whole vibration and atmosphere. This changes the vibration of all whom you contact or associate with. And this actually changes the world. Someone in trouble comes into your aura and you are able to dispense help and healing–and this can have huge ramifications. You walk into a shop where perhaps a robbery or murder is about to happen and, because of your positive energy, it doesn’t happen. You sit next to someone on a bus or train–someone who is perhaps ready to commit suicide–and your mere presence, just the vibrations that you emanate, heal and soothe this person. These events are not things you read about in the newspapers–the 12th house is all about secret, behind-the-scenes activities–but they are nevertheless real. It is the ‘secret service’ of life.

Uranus moving into your 12th house also has other messages. It shows dramatic changes in your spiritual attitudes, ideals and practices. Those not yet on the path will get on it. Those already on the path will change teachers and practice. Easterners might choose a Western path. Westerners might switch to the Eastern path. It also shows that the ‘spiritual side’ of astrology will become more interesting (Uranus rules astrology).

There are many, many valid paths to ultimate reality. But with Uranus in the 12th house you need a more scientific and rational approach. Mere faith (though important) and emotional exaltation (also important) will not be enough for you. You need to understand what is happening on a scientific level. There are many paths that deal with this–esoteric astrology, hermetic science, kabbalah (in the Western tradition) and jnana yoga (in the Eastern tradition). These will be things to explore in the years to come.
