Uranus The Astrology Planet

Uranus represents the urge to do one's own thing, according to a set theory about the world developed in response to an attempt to understand the reasons behind society's rewards and punishments. Uranus shows where you are likely to appear unpredictable and original, at least in the eyes of society, and where you seek personal freedom from society's bonds.

Uranus is one of the three "modern planets." Its role is to free us from all conventional authorities and to drastically reform society along lines of truth and justice. It stands for our new awareness of individual freedom and liberty. It can bring quick, beneficial reforms or violent, disruptive, destructive events. It is associated with science and enlightenment, and seeks to base authority on knowledge which we discover for ourselves. Uranus is the planet of genius and constantly challenges us to look at things in a new way. It is sudden revelations and awakenings--the ruling planet of magicians, alchemists and astrologers. It rules capitalism, progress and the utopian expectations, and is one of the symbols of the "New Age." It is linked to Aquarius and the Eleventh House. Uranus revolves around the Sun once every eighty-four years.

Uranus is intuition, the higher octave of Mercury, the mind. Whereas Mercury plods along, using reason and logic to reach a rational conclusion, Uranus strikes like lightning at the answer. Mercury knows why it knows; the intuitive Uranus only knows that it knows. Uranus is the first planet beyond Saturn; and the first we cannot see with our physical eye. It represents the spirit and free will of the individual; breaking with law and tradition; and that which is sudden, unexpected and out of control in life.

Uranus symbolizes unpredictable change, intuition, genius, individualism, independence, freedom, social reform, rebels, inventions, electricity, and the joining of the personal to the collective consciousness and the group mind. In the physical body it rules electrical nerve impulses

Uranus rules Aquarius, and has been raising the vibratory rate of the planet to help bring in the Aquarian age. A new age is ushered in when the vernal equinox (see glossary) enters a new constellation. Since each great age lasts about 2000 years, and the exact borders of constellation are arbitrary, this change alone takes a century or so. From the mid-20th into the 21st century you can see signs of the transition from the Piscean to the Aquarian Age in telephone, radio, TV, computers, radar, electromagnetic waves of all kinds, the Sixties revolution with its accent on non-conformity and spirit over form (what the shell contains, not the shell itself), the political revolution in—and dissolution of—the Soviet Union, advances in racial and sexual equality and in science and metaphysics, and all things that universalize individual consciousness. This is the truth behind the image of the Aquarius water-carrier and what he is pouring: universal consciousness into individual man.
