Uranus

The Awakener

Uranus represents change, innovation, rebellion, freedom and sudden insight. It is the urge to break from tradition and do things differently.

Discovered in 1781, it was the first planet found with a telescope, and astrologers linked it with the revolutions of that era.

It is often paired with Saturn as a symbol of liberation versus structure.

A Generational Planet

Uranus takes about 84 years to orbit the Sun, spending around seven years in each sign. Its sign describes the innovations and attitudes of a generation.

Everyone born within the same seven-year span shares a Uranus sign.

Its personal influence comes through house placement and contacts with personal planets.

Uranus in Your Chart

The house Uranus occupies shows where you crave freedom and originality. Uranus in the first house may create an unconventional personality; in the sixth, an unusual approach to work.

Close contacts between Uranus and your Sun, Moon or ascendant can make its themes very personal.

The Uranus Opposition

Around age 40 to 42, transiting Uranus opposes its birth position. This period is often linked with a desire for change and reassessment of life direction.

It is a shared experience for everyone at that age.

Astrologers see it as an invitation to reconnect with authenticity.
