Uranus represents change. Associated with innovation, technology and discovery, Uranus helps bring about progressive change in all aspects of our lives. This Planet takes us into the future; tradition is made to be broken.
Uranus also represents enlightenment, novelty and ingenuity. Uranus is intuitive and sometimes ahead of its time when you are in tune with its energies. This intuition may cause you to research or investigate a new angle.
Words used to describe Uranus' effects are: independence, invention, surprise, disruption, awakening, liberation or rebellion. Uranus can affect the entire world, a country, or an individual equally. Uranus sets us free when we become too rigid. It often takes something drastic to break us out of our patterns, and Uranus is the impetus for these surprises to happen. This planet can help wake us up, sharpen our focus and remind us what we really want. Uranus rules Aquarius, and this Sign is used to feeling ahead of its time. Uranus Signs are destined to shake things up for all of us.
Uranus Signs
If you do not develop your Uranus energy, it can react. You may experience sudden chaos, or a serious disruption in your everyday life. Uranus basically gives the Sign it's in a 'cosmic two by four' to the head. You may be in for more than you bargained for. Sometimes it can feel amazingly liberating, and at others you are totally overwhelmed.
Since Uranus moves so slowly, an entire generation can share the same Uranus Sign. Wherever it falls in your chart will give you a clue to areas of your life where you will stand out and refuse to blend in. You may find areas where life will be erratic and unpredictable. It takes about 40 years for Uranus to get to the opposite position that it was at your birth, and with collaboration with Saturn, hence the mid-life crisis. Uranus can give people the courage to make the changes they need to, or follow their dreams instead of the status quo.
