Uranus as an Indicator for an Astrologer

Your natal chart gives clues as to the type of astrologer you are likely to be. Modern astrologers take Uranus, as the ruler of our craft and the traditional ruler is Mercury.

• During Uranus transits to sensitive planets and chart points in your natal chart external changes may occur to alter your life path.
• When you experience secondary progressions to Uranus from planets and chart points it may be a time when internal changes are likely to develop to alter your karmic direction.

The above two points, of transits and secondary progressions to your natal chart taht include Uranus, can suggest times in your life when astrology will begin to loom large.

The more forecast triggers that happen at once, the more likely it will be.

Uranus

As the modern ruler of astrology and astrologers Uranus is a strong indicator for an astrologer.

If Uranus is conjoined your Ascendant, Sun, Midheaven or Mercury or, if Uranus is the morning planet where it suggests your vocation these are stron indicators for an Astrologer.

There are many instances where Uranus aspects the morning planet in well-known astrologer’s charts.

All natal aspects to your Uranus will modify the type of astrologer you are likely to become. Uranus conjunctions are the strongest indicators.

When your natal Uranus is stimulated by progressions from the Sun, Mercury, the Ascendant or Midheaven an interest in astrology will probably develop.

Uranus as a Career Indicator for an Astrologer

Uranus Aspects

All aspects to Uranus will indicate the type of astrology that you can do and will be good at. These aspects can also show where you will be challenged and tested in your business. Any planet in aspect to Uranus suggests how you do (and can) use Uranus, and therefore astrology, in your life. Consider the aspect itself and only look at the Ptolemaic aspects of conjunction, sextile, square, trine and opposition. Ignore minor or lesser used aspects with the exception of the quintile.

Uranus Conjunctions

Planets conjoined Uranus can suggest the true nature of your astrology interest. Any planet in this position will influence your astrology and shows what excites you about astrology.

Uranus’ Direction

in a natal chart Uranus is either direct, stationary or retrograde.

Uranus Direct

When Uranus is direct it is good for an astrology practice and the development of it as a part of your life. You can move forward at a regular and steady pace. You will gain and grow an astrology business on a steady trajectory throughout your life. Perhaps you will add to your abilities and take further courses yourself to develop a deeper astrology knowledge.

Uranus Stationary

Stationary Definition

A stationary planet is any planet which is within 0°10′ orb of the actual station position. Solar Fire will flag stationary planets with an “S” in the chart.

Stationary Retrograde or Direct

When Uranus is stationary in the natal chart you need to check if it is about to go direct or retrograde. Uranus in this position offers a strong presence for astrology where you really spend time to fully know your craft before being able to move on which usually happens later in life.

Uranus Retrograde

If Uranus is retrograde in your natal chart it suggests a slower or longer lead-up time to get going in a professional astrological career. This placement of Uranus inclines you to review and ponder your basic knowledge base (planets, signs, houses and aspects) for longer, before you feel confident. It is almost as if you are hesitant to go professional. If this is the case, it is best for you to take formal classes in astrology and gain astrological certification, which will provide you with the confidence to move up a level.
