Uranus in the Signs
This week I’m once more turning my attention to a planet that I really like and that is Uranus and specifically Uranus in the signs. Uranus rules astrology and as such is always a pleasure. Huh? Well maybe not a pleasure but certainly a planet of interest to astrologers. Let’s take a look.
Themes
When prominent in a birth chart by position or conjunction to the Sun, Moon or chart ruler, Uranus can indicate someone who is unconventional, eccentric and eager to challenge the status quo. Uranian energy is inventive, progressive and always looking new ways of doing things. However, the energy can also manifest as seemingly erratic, impulsive and be resistant to tradition.
I say seemingly as its clear to the person doing the thing, but not to the onlookers. Uranus is the planet of innovation, disruption and sudden change. It represents, among other things, the drive for individuality, freedom and progress. Uranus embodies the drive for freedom, progress and radical transformation on both the personal and the collective level. Its energies can bring excitement, but also disruption and unpredictability into your life.
Generational
Uranus has a long 84-year orbit which means it spends about seven to eight years in each sign. This timeframe strongly shapes the collective consciousness during that time. When Uranus changes signs, it can bring sweeping societal changes, technological advancements and a general spirit of revolution and reform for all and sundry.
Complex
In your natal chart, your Uranus complex shows where you crave independence, novelty and a departure from the ordinary. People with a strong Uranian influence often have an innovative mindset and a futuristic perspective that sets them apart.
