Uranus[edit]

Uranus () is the ruling planet of Aquarius and is exalted in Scorpio. In classical Greek mythology, Uranus is the personification of the sky. The planet Uranus is very unusual among the planets in that it rotates on its side, so that it presents each of its poles to the Sun in turn during its orbit; causing both hemispheres to alternate between being bathed in light and lying in total darkness over the course of the orbit. Uranus takes 84 years to orbit the Sun, spending about 7 years in each sign of the zodiac. Uranus was discovered to be a planet only in 1781 by Sir William Herschel. Astrological interpretations associate Uranus with the principles of ingenuity, new or unconventional ideas, individuality, discoveries, electricity, inventions, democracy, and revolutions. Uranus, among all planets, most governs genius. Uranus governs societies, clubs, and any group based on humanitarian or progressive ideals. Uranus, the planet of sudden and unexpected changes, rules freedom and originality. In society, it rules radical ideas and people, as well as revolutionary events that upset established structures. Uranus is also associated with Wednesday, alongside Mercury (since Uranus is in the higher octave of Mercury). In art and literature, the discovery of Uranus coincided with the Romantic movement, which emphasized individuality and freedom of creative expression. Additionally, it is often linked to an individual’s animal spirit. When it comes to medicine, Uranus is believed to be particularly associated with the sympathetic nervous system, mental disorders, breakdowns and hysteria, spasms, and cramps. Uranus is considered by modern astrologers to be the primary native ruler of the eleventh house.^[33]

Freedom, Astrology, lightning, risk, humanity, crossroads, chaos, surprises, separation Colors: Metallic, Silver Uranus is the first planet beyond the visible sphere defined by Saturn’s orbit and as such, represents our first step outside of boundaries of obvious, normal, or circumstantial. Traditional Astrology does not acknowledge its effects as one of the three transcendental planets, those beyond our reach, that transcend our earthly existence. It is not easy to grasp Uranus from our earthly point of view, and we need to understand that its role is to separate us from earthly matters, lift us high up, in order to lead us towards Universal thought, higher consciousness and finally – enlightenment. If we understand that Saturn represents all restrictions, Uranus is just a step away from it, providing us with absolute freedom of expression, freedom of thought, and cold, daring truth of humanity. It rules the sign of Aquarius and always expresses on a higher mundane level, creating opportunities to jump out of routine, exchange the old with the new, and turn to progress and innovation.

Planet Uranus

Uranus is an “ice giant” with lowest temperatures in the entire Solar system, and the only planet here that takes its name from Greek mythology. The axial tilt of Uranus is about 99 degrees, meaning it rotates around the Sun on its side, which is why a season on it lasts 42 years, and this is just one long day from its perspective. It was the first planet discovered after the invention of the telescope although it can be seen on a clear night and from time to time with the unaided eye. Because of its low luminosity, it was mistaken for a star for years. With at least 27 known moons, all of them named by characters created by William Shakespeare and Alexander Pope, it is circled by satellites less than gas giants preceding it. Uranus rotates in the opposite direction than that of other planets, just like Venus, and this seems to be truly significant to understand its nature of opposition, spite, and eccentricity.

Uranus in Astrology

Astrology itself is presented by Uranus. Observed as a planet of liberation, rebellion, communism and anarchy, it finds its strong basis in Saturn’s rule, just like the sign of Aquarius strongly relies on the basis set in Capricorn. Without pressure, there is no breakage, no freedom without structure, and no liberation without responsibility. To understand Uranus in astrological interpretations, we have to understand that it rules the sign traditionally ruled by Saturn and see that even the mythological story puts these two entities in an archetypal rebellion of the son against the father, further more defined by the opposition Uranus presents, with its main opponent in the zodiac being the Sun, the ruler of Leo. On a personal level, Uranus always shows the need for separation, rebellion, spite, and our personal search for freedom. We will see that the house it is set in always seems to be filled with stress and pressure, as if it has had to deal with Saturn and needs to break free. The tension this planet brings to its surroundings needs to be channeled through a strong body, and all those individuals who are strongly linked to the effects of Uranus, have to make their physiology strong to ground this incredible intelligence and knowledge without damaging their brain and their entire nervous system. To truly live Uranus, we have to find our bright light within, and we have to be prepared to take all the necessary steps towards the realization of our goals. Uranus hears no excuses and needs a clear mind and a clear heart to manifest in its most exciting, surprising and beautiful light.

Manifestations

Uranus will mostly manifest as stress and tension, on a physical level as well as all others. We will see that a house visited by its magnificence is tense, filled with pressure to break loose, bringing all sorts of spontaneous situations that tend to divide, conquer, change, and explode. This is why its strong effect is even stronger when it is set in our seventh house, leading to breakups, divorce, and puts an emphasis on the natural opposition we have with other people. It will affect all of our relationships built in the area of life connected to the symbolism of the house it is in, and the sign it is set in, although generational, speaks well of the nature of liberation we are in need for. This is a planet of eccentricity and always speaks of individuals who are different, strange, out of the ordinary, in some sort of fight with the system and the state, and among them scientists, astrologers, homosexuals, and all of us who stand out and have a humane initiative to fight for someone’s rights, including our own. It is a planet of gambling, chance, risk, leading us to dangerous activities when afflicted, and sometimes endangering our wellbeing by chance, strange circumstances, or extreme choices that we make in spite of rational opinions, especially those of our fathers. It is a ruler of all humanitarian efforts and doesn’t care so much about the individual as much as the utopian image of our entire society. It is the antichrist and the biggest believer among all planets, ruling the third sign from Sagittarius and as such – representing the language of the gods themselves.

About Uranus

Uranus, the planet that rules over surprise and the unexpected, was a surprise himself. Not discovered until 1871 with the help of a telescope, Uranus was thought to be a comet before being confirmed as a full-fledged planet. Uranus has revealed multiple surprises to us since we’ve been studying him, including his clockwise rotation (the reverse of every other planet except Venus, his corkscrew-shaped magnetic field, his 13 barely visible rings, and the fact that he rotates on his axis almost completely horizontally.

Because of his hypervisible eccentricities, Uranus is the perfect candidate to represent the outsiders and misfits of the world, those whose lives beckon change and revolution. Importantly, Uranus (along with Neptune and Pluto), is considered a generational planet. These 3 planets are often referred to as the modern planets or Trans-Saturnians. Since all 3 of these planets move slower and are much further from the Sun (Uranus takes 7 years to move through a sign), the influence of generational planets impacts individuals and generations. If you’ve ever wondered why certain civil rights issues, rebellions, and revolutions come to a head in the world at particular times, take a look at what sign Uranus is hanging out in for some insight.

Astrologer Joanna Martine Woolfolk explains that, in the individual’s natal chart, “Uranus is a deep-seated energy within the personality, an unconscious purpose that is revealed over a lifetime.” Uranus will surprise you constantly, unveiling sides of you that you didn’t know you had at. How comfortably you fit into society – how “normal” or “unconventional” you are as a person – can be determined by the placement of Uranus in your birth chart.

• Fire sign Uranus is original, unpredictable, independent, charismatic, creative, revolutionary, and rebellious.
• Air sign Uranus is intuitive, inventive, unpredictable, original, logical, individualistic, and revolutionary.
• Earth sign Uranus is practically inventive, resistant to force, predictable, eccentric, and transformative.
• Water sign Uranus is flexible, unstable, erratic, emotionally unpredictable, and intuitive.

It is also helpful to consider the quality of the Uranus sign in your birth chart:

• Uranus in Cardinal signs: Initiators of change, values motion and action
• Uranus in Fixed signs: Resistant to change, values consistency and reliability
• Uranus in Mutable signs: Adaptable/responsive to change, values flexibility and versatility

The planet of the future, Uranus is always looking forwards and shaking up the order of things where he sees fit in order to allow a balance of stability and growth on Earth and within you as an individual. Any new person or experience that gets introduced into your life is thanks to Uranus, whose influence teaches us flexibility, adaptability, and the importance of change for growth and progress.

Uranus Uranus, God of the sky and the heavens, is the ruler of Aquarius. In Astrology, the energies of Uranus are electric and crammed with change. Uranus is forward-looking. It balks at tradition, and celebrates originality and individuality. Uranus is associated with technology, innovation, discovery, and all that is progressive. On the up side, Uranus is associated with enlightenment, progressiveness, objectivity, novelty, and ingenuity. Negative expression of Uranus is rebelliousness without a cause and irresponsibility. When Uranus is not developed, it reacts; but when natives are truly in tune with its energies, Uranus is highly intuitive. It represents the spark of intuition that spurs invention. We can see Uranus as the intuition that sparks further studies or investigation. In the chart, the position of Uranus by sign will be shared with other people in the same generation due to the comparatively slow movement of Uranus in the heavens. By house, the position of Uranus shows where individuals look to stir things up, put a new spin on situations, and go against established thought or order. Uranus aspecting other planets in the chart color those energies with some willfulness, quirkiness, and originality. Where we find Uranus in the chart is where we see some refusal to blend in with others (and situations), and some erratic life patterns. Uranus in the Houses Uranus in Transit Uranus’ glyph, or symbol, reveals the cross (matter) over the circle (spirit). The two semi-circles on the sides represent receptivity. Note that the glyph of Uranus includes an inverted Venus!

Uranus

The planet of rebellion and upheaval

Uranus is the rebellious planet of awakening, change, and surprise. It’s the planet that makes us react — it shocks us and pushes us into action through sudden events in our environment, or by revealing radical truths within ourselves. Are you a real risk-taker, or do you seize up when confronted with change? Whatever your style, you can thank Uranus for that. Uranus is the rebellious planet of awakening, change, and surprise.

Uranus was discovered by Sir William Herschel in 1781, after the invention of the telescope. Along with Neptune and Pluto, Uranus is a planet that required a telescope for its discovery, since it’s too far from Earth to ever be seen by the naked eye. In Greek mythology, Uranus was a god that personified the sky (Father Sky), and was both the son and husband of Mother Earth. Uranus and Pluto are the only planets named after Greek gods, while the rest of the planets’ names come from Roman gods.

Uranus’ Lessons

This content was written by tarot.com writer Jeff Jawer. Uranus takes us beyond the bounds of the known. It was the first planet discovered by telescope, doubling the size of the solar system in one night. It came into consciousness between the American and French Revolutions, breaking down the rule of royalty and giving birth to democracy. The late 18th century was also a time of invention as the dawn of the steam age began the process of replacing humans and animal labor with machines. Today Uranus still represents breakthroughs that produce freedom, but which also shock us with surprises and uncertainty. It’s natural to react to stressful times by pulling back into a protective mode. Being cautious is a logical response to the uncertainty that seems to be so prevalent these days. However, the economic, environmental, and social problems we face collectively cannot be resolved by returning to the past. The same is true on an individual level as challenges in work, at home, and in relationships are rarely overcome by defensiveness and retreat. Uranus represents invention and the willingness to leave the past so that we can change our world for the better. However, when we face the need for individual or collective change, we sometimes believe that we must go to extremes. And when extreme measures seem necessary, like quitting a terrible job or confronting a crisis in a rocky relationship, it’s difficult to make radical changes without risk. The lesson of Uranus is to first practice breaking patterns in areas of life that aren’t critical. It’s like getting training to become an emergency worker. You don’t start learning to be a firefighter by jumping into a burning building. You want to turn your life in a significantly different direction, whether it’s changing your career, losing a lot of weight, or becoming more assertive in dealing with people, do some change training first. Altering small but habitual patterns begins to loosen rigidity, helping you develop the flexibility needed to manage revolutionary Uranus. Shift the order of your morning routine, part your hair on the other side, alter a bit of your schedule. Do and say different things in risk-free situations as practice for making bigger changes in your life. If you have difficulty expressing your needs with others, don’t begin with your spouse in the middle of an argument. Start by returning an item you purchased or by kindly asking to have your undercooked meal sent back to the kitchen in a restaurant. These are the gentle alterations in behavior that build confidence toward making more dramatic ones later. Freedom and breakthroughs sometimes come in an instant, like lightning. Failure to prepare ourselves for change is more likely to lead explosions than to liberation. As much as we want others to alter their behavior, the place of greatest potency is in altering our own. This process of rehearsing in safe situations builds a foundation of experience and confidence that allows us to lead successful revolutions that not only improve our lives, but serve as models for innovation and making constructive changes in the world.

Eureka! Uranus governs the zodiac sign Aquarius, under which Thomas Edison, inventor of the light bulb, was born. According to astrology, radical and metaphysical Uranus is the planet that rules our higher minds.

Uranus can’t be seen without a telescope, and so we didn’t know of its existence until 1781. Thus, Uranus is part of the modern astrological system. Fittingly, this planet (as well Neptune and Pluto) are associated with the unseen aspects of life. Uranus’ domain is akin to that of future-forward Aquarius, the star sign that rules scientific inventions, electricity, innovation and technology. These are all things that require us to stretch beyond our vision and lean in to belief. For example, we might not be able to prove the Uranian, but we feel a certainty about its existence. Even the Internet—which is Uranus’ domain—is a form of virtual reality, if you think about it. In mythology, Uranus is known as Father Sky who bore children with Gaia, aka. Mother Earth. This is the planet that rules outer space and aeronautics and shows where we want to fly free—without restriction! (Gravity…what’s that?!)  Given these liberated vibes, it’s no surprise that parenting did not come naturally to the Uranus of lore. Legend has it that Father Sky was cruel to his children, burying some in the earth and banishing others. Saturn, one of his sons, even castrated Uranus out of revenge.

Uranus shows where we’ll fly our freak flags and insist on doing things in our own unique ways.

Similarly, Uranus in your natal chart can indicate where you want to abdicate responsibility and remain eternally youthful and untethered. Uranus spends approximately seven years in each sign, and has a hand in shaping generational thought. Someone born with Uranus in marriage-minded Libra may struggle with matrimonial duties. Interestingly enough, divorce rates began to rise when Uranus visited Libra from 1969-75. People born with Uranus in mysterious Scorpio tend to be sexually liberated, rebelling against puritanical values and perhaps having a “no strings attached” relationship to the erotic act. To find out your Uranus sign, run a free chart here: www.astrostyle.com/free-chart. As an icy gas giant, Uranus is the coldest planet in the solar system. Astrologically, its effect can be equally chilly and dispassionate, preferring rational thought over raw emotion—yes, even when grappling with all the metaphysical subject matter it rules: astrology, yoga and kundalini energy (the “body electric”). Science may reign over spirit where Uranus is concerned; or at least be incorporated into its systems. Think about astrology—a topic that is mystical but also trackable with data and math! Anyone can learn this star-powered divination tool, even if no one can clearly explain WHY it works. Kundalini yoga and tantra are examples of Uranus’ high-minded sexiness, teaching us how to use the electricity (or life force energy) in our bodies to have more soulful sensual exchanges. The placement of this “mad scientist” planet in the natal chart shows where we are prone to eccentricity and groundbreaking thought. A weirdo among its solar system cohort, Uranus rotates on its axis in a retrograde motion. It shows where we’ll fly our freak flags and insist on doing things in our own unique ways. Radical developments happen when Uranus is in town, for better or for worse. While Uranus was in Aries, the sign of the dominating warrior, Hitler and ISIS came to power. Scary stuff! While in its home sign of tech-savvy Aquarius, smartphones became the ubiquitous device and Internet speeds became exponentially faster, allowing us to connect to our fellow humans across physical barriers, but in real time. The collective consciousness is also ruled by this communal planet, so its transits can affect the global mindset. There’s a bohemian aspect to Uranus, the planet of platonic love. At best, Uranus can help us feel that sense of universal connection. It can awaken the humanitarian spirit, reminding us that sharing resources is the way to thrive collectively. Festivals like Burning Man, that abide by a “gift economy” and the modern-day collective systems like ride-shares, crowdfunding apps. communal living, co-working spaces and companies like ZipCar and TaskRabbit have “Uranus” written all over them. Utopia is possible, as far as Uranus is concerned. But we all have to simmer down a little, think clearly and realize that in the end, it’s just all peace and love.

The Planet Of Revolution

• invention
• inspiration

Other glyphs:  The symbol for Uranus, , appears to be two crescents pointing in opposite directions. The cross of matter is equal with the higher spirit. The cross and the lower circle are the symbol for Venus inverted. The two semicircle-circles could be a split circle, or spirit. Originally, it was just an “H”, for Sir William Herschel, who discovered it on 13 March, 1781. Uranus rules, or is the co-ruler of Aquarius (with Saturn). It is the first of the modern planets to be discovered. It is considered a higher octave of Mercury. The keyword for Uranus is “deviate“.

Uranus – breaking boundaries

Uranus is the first of the modern planets, discovered in 1781. This was the time of the first industrial revolution, with the discovery of an extraordinary number of inventions, and the push toward modern science (the first reference to a scientist came in 1833). Its symbolism was assigned based on its eccentric order and the global political revolutions that were occuring around the time of its discovery. Originally Uranus was interpreted as partaking of the nature of Mercury and Saturn. It was considered wholly unfortunate. Today, astrologers tend to say Uranus represents the need for freedom, originality, sudden changes and new possibilities, the possibility of chaos, the unexpected, innovation, our desire to be unique, liberated, and radical. It also represents genius and eccentricity, invention and original ideas. Many astrologers believe it rules all new technology and scientific discoveries.

The Story of Uranus

Eventually, Mother Earth wanted her children back and a tremendous battle ensued.  Out of the hardest flint, she made an indestructible sickle.  Of all the Titans, only Cronus, the youngest, was brave enough to take the sickle. He lay in wait and inflicted a terrible wound on his father, Uranus. From the blood of Uranus sprang the Giants, another race of monsters, and the Erinyes (the Roman Furies), whose duty it was to pursue and punish sinners.  And from the sea foam that surrounded his cast-off genitals arose the beautiful Aphrodite, Goddess of Love.

Uranus in Astrology

While I don’t think Uranus’ eight-year tenancy in a sign is long enough to produce generational offspring, it is long enough to produce a sense of fellowship among those born under the same sign.  These are your peers, your teammates.  They share your sense of what it means to be free.  And when that sense of freedom is mobilized, it can move mountains…or oust dictators, as we saw during the Arab Spring of 2010.  This is the reason that Uranus is classified as one of the Transpersonal Planets. In the natal chart, the house occupied by Uranus shows the area of life where you feel the need for freedom and independence most intensely.  The sign it is in shows how you approach satisfying that need.  If it is retrograde, you tend to be more inventive than rebellious.  Together, they define what kinds of a vision you have of the new world. They teach us to expect the unexpected. When Uranus connects to one of your natal planets, you can literally feel the tingling, as if you’re getting a telephone call from the angels.  Well, maybe you are.

Uranus in the Sky

Although Uranus is actually visible with the naked eye under the right conditions, it wasn’t until 1781 that it was officially “discovered”.  Up until that time, even as early as the 1600’s, it was thought to be a star.  Sir William Hershel was the first to realize that it was actually moving, and thus was a planet. Uranus turns retrograde about every twelve months for a period lasting about five months.  It usually turns retrograde seven times in each sign.

URANUS

Keywords: Originality, Technology, Change, Individuality

Gods: Uranus (Greek), Caelus (Roman) Tarot: The Fool Palmistry: – Symbolism: The Sky Uranus is a sky God, a Titan which pre-dates the Olympian Gods. Uranus is the personification of the sky. Unlike many other Gods and Goddesses, the worship of Uranus/Caelus was not as extensive as the Olympians such as Zeus or Aphrodite.  Therefore, the symbolism for Uranus is not as detailed as that of the so-called ‘inner’ planets of Mercury, Mars, Venus, Saturn and Jupiter. Uranus was only discovered in 1781, long after the establishment of traditional fortune-telling forms such as Astrology and Palmistry. Therefore, there are no Palmistry correspondences for Uranus. However, because Uranus was the first of the ‘outer’ planets to be discovered, it is associated with originality, new technology, change and individuality. Uranus is the planet which herald in the beginning of the industrial revolution and age of tech. In Tarot, The Fool corresponds to Uranus. The Fool of a very ‘airy fairy’ up in the atmosphere card which is often pulled for people who aren’t easy to pin down. The Fool advises seekers to take the leap and make major changes to their lives without giving a second thought. In mythology, Uranus was said to despise the children he made with his Gaia: this is typical of all Uranus symbolism. Uranus doesn’t like to hold too much responsibility, and needs to do his own thing. In fact, in Tarot The Fool can predict that you do not want to be chained to anything long-term. In symbolism, Uranus is associated with the sky, air and atmosphere. Dreaming of the sky can represent originality and being recognised for being different.
