The Direct Effect of Uranus
Plus a Correction to Collective Energies
I want to start this off by drawing your attention to an error I discovered in my 2026 Collective Energy Map post. I have since fixed it, but if you are saving that post in your email to refer back to, just know that I had the dates for the Gene Key(s) activated by Uranus incorrect. Uranus is finalizing the activation of the 42nd Gene Key now. I would like to encourage all of you to tune into that gift of detachment in this time as that activation is finalizing. Spring and Summer Uranus begins to illuminate the Shadow of Chaos inviting us to lean into the gift of Innovation through the 3rd Gene Key. There is then a foreshadow of the 27th Gene Key from July through November, giving us a sneak peak of Uranus’ 2027 illumination of the Shadow of Selfishness inviting the gift of Altruism. Here is a link to that updated post:
My Latest Journey with Uranus
Uranus just finished his annual retrograde on February 3rd, just after what felt like a pretty intense full moon, and has been working his anxious, unexpected, authenticity seeking energy internally for the last five months. For me personally, this dance has been happening conjunct my natal Chiron (12th House Taurus) and activating the deepest of my unconscious scarcity wounds.
If you’ve read this article,
you’ll know that I’m working with a framework in which I intentionally release something during my personal new moon phase (menses). This moon, I worked with the following statement:
i, give thanks for perfect health, abundant wealth and all i, desire to express myself;
i, release all scarcity.
My menses coincided with the Cancer Full Moon. Here is what I wrote about that:
The Cancer Full Moon on February 1st invites us to check in with our emotions, security, home and family and see how this is balancing with our death and rebirth process. Fear may have you feeling a bit trapped at this time or you may find yourself provoking others through a projection of your fears. Notice this and consider channeling this energy into creative endeavors to see if you can awaken a new energy within yourself. This is where the untapped energy of your youth resides. It is waiting for you to make use of its dynamic creative potential.
The Persephone Journal as well as preparing for an Ancestral Visioning Ceremony gave me that perfect creative outlet and definitely has me feeling a new source of energy as I write this article today. I also, very much battled with feeling trapped and was a bit emotionally volatile with my family leading up to and during the full moon. Our home has been feeling very small to both my husband and I lately and we have set our desires upon expanding our living spaces on the property. The reality is, however, that building new spaces is not something that happens quickly. This moon cycle for me has been about coming to terms with my restlessness at home.
The Most Beautiful of Ugly Pictures
On February 2nd, right amidst the energy of the Cancer full moon and Uranus going direct, my husband finished demolishing more than one third of an old 70s mobile home that came with our property. This mobile was in rough shape when we got here and we opted to close in 550 sqft of living space under an open pole barn as our living space instead of using the mobile. It was, however, a useful storage unit for a few years.
I lived in a mobile a lot like this one as a child as well as a few others along the way. I think that is why when anyone would come by and say that we could totally live in that temporarily until we built something, I would walk back into it and my entire body would reject that idea with every fiber of my being. Now, I’ve known that this mobile was going to be demolished and removed from the property, but it has been such a long project that has come in and out of focus through the years that it has seemed like it would never get to this state. When I took this picture, it all came together for me. Uranus is going direct as it is activating my scarcity wounds and simultaneously this mobile is the physical manifestation of the release of scarcity that I set my intentions upon.
The Ancestral Visioning Ceremony was the most beautiful icing on the cake. I had every obligatory intention of creating some other sort of tangible piece for the Persephone Journal (like calendar pages) leading up to my Ovulation (personal Full Moon) Phase, and was feeling guilty when all of my energy was going into preparations for this ceremony. I catered the lunch for it with soup and sourdough as well as prepared the gifts for the mini-retreat. This was definitely my creative focus and where my increased energy went during this part of my moon cycle.
However, the Vision that I met at this ceremony was so beautiful and simple. It was one of joy and peace spent right here on the family domain that my husband and I have put so much blood, sweat and tears into. I was shown that I am worthy of this piece of earth and the abundance we have co-created on it. I was made aware of the immense amount of guilt I hold for having this little piece of paradise while so many others do not.
A very lovely sister in our ancestral circle reminded me that my fellow men and women need to know what it is like to experience that piece of joy with the earth and the natural abundance available to us all so that they can entrain to the coherent field of that state of being.
So, I don’t have a tangible piece to add to the Persephone Journal for this moonth, but I do have an aetheric one. The rest of this cycle will be spent integrating the lessons of both my personal moon as well as the lessons of the luminary. I look forward to the piece of the Persephone puzzle.
