A do over?

How Uranian...

curious to see a breakdown of uranus signs' particulars

I kind of like the stubborn streak..., having saturn in taurus earth likely helps offset some of the libra air

I was just charting back my life the last few weeks at about the same time that I was confused about my birthtime. Uranus is the confirmation that the birthtime on my birth certificate is correct!

Uranus was in conjunction with my ascendant when I was 18 years old. This conjunction shook the very basis of my being, and it seemed that Uranus wanted me to get up and going. I was having several issues with authority figures about that time. Objectively speaking, I was not doing anything particularly rebellious our out of control. Apart from the occasional drink and a relationship with a part time but otherwise straight-laced musician, I was pretty much the good girl who strived for balance at school and her extra curricular activities. My father was a very strict authoritarian.

We were quarrelling a few times a week and the curfews were ridiculous. I had to be at home by 7pm or he would go completely nuts! If he could not find me at home, he would go to the varsity grounds and look for me in libraries and classrooms! The truth was my father did not know how to handle my growing up and pursuing interests that were alien to him. He was paranoid that all my interests would lead me to the entertainment business which he loathed. He was not a sociable person but he was very family oriented. He trusted no one outside of his family.

Then my relationship with my father got worse and worse to the point that I just did not bother trying to bridge the chasm anymore because my father could not and would not compromise so I thought why should I? Again, I was not particularly rebellious. I was never drunk and sexually I was quite a late bloomer. Then in a particularly heated argument my father revealed that I was an adopted child and he was going to return me to my natural parents. That was a shock to me and the rest of my family, not so much the fact that I was adopted, but the way my father chose to reveal this to me.

I had more freedom pursuing my interests at my natural parents' home although we did not get along very well. When my mother died a few years later, I begun my freelance writing career. It was something that none in my family could identify with. Both of my sisters had been gainfully employed since they left school about the same age that I started my varsity studies. My mother was illiterate. My sisters and her did not know what to make of what I was doing for a living.

Uranus is very prominent in my chart. It's in conjunction with MC, Venus and Mars in Scorpio. I am born to be a maverick, making my own rules where my career path and reputation is concerned and this is how the public and people at large would know me.

lol

Thinking of this topic, I recalled the time when Uranus entered the historical arena with an unprecedented flash of renewal: at the highpoint of the Age of Enlightenment.

In the middle of all scientific, political and moral turmoil this produced, lived the brilliant Taurean Philosopher Immanuel Kant (Sun Uranus Opposition) that safeguarded and fast-tracked the way we relate to reality. Two of his most important notions are the 'Synthetic judgement a priori' and 'Apperception', both central to his philosophy and very Uranian.

To describe a very complicated concept in a very dilettante manner: A synthetic judgement a priori is knowledge that can only be verified by experience, although paradoxically the truth of it's statement is known beforehand (a priori) and needs no validation through empirical experience: thus synthetic - forming a bridge between the now and the 'deeper' Now, almost like a Zen koan in action.

This is very much Uranus in action, knowing things before they are about to happen, innovation, synchronicity, etc. It's the ability to perceive beyond the limits of space and time and experience through serendipity, the fundamental essence and unity of life by connecting to - what in theosophy is known as - Fohat: www.teosofia.com/Mumbai/7208fohat.html

It's no coincidence that Uranus is seen by many occult traditions as ruling Ceremonial Magic, as it grants the entrance into the realm that lies between the mental and the physical: the etheric plane - when the mind is purified and steady, the sky is the limit.

Uranus defies categorization and does not need to justify itself to society and tradition, looking past the obvious - free of the conformity of the ego and the structures on which it thrives: social hierarchy, status, playacting - the very fabric of the social animal looking for validation outside to support it's weakness and ignorance. Jean Jacques Rousseau, another great enlightenment philosopher comes to mind.

Kant distinguished empirical apperception from transcendental apperception. The first is "the consciousness of the concrete actual self with its changing states", the so-called "inner sense". The second is "the pure, original, unchangeable consciousness which is the necessary condition of experience as such and the ultimate foundation of the synthetic unity of experience". The first seems more of a mercurial state, making distinctions between self and non-self: discriminating awareness, the latter more Uranian: perceiving the fundamental unity of being in all forms, through the Self itself, not the idea of the self.

Saturn the gatekeeper, defines our limitations, primarily by setting out the laws of mind: spatio-temporal conditions. (these set the stage for ego-identification.) Uranus defies them by fast-forwarding and rewinding through the space/time continuum and sometimes even transcending them(meditation) to inspire and renew the essence of human existence - to break down the barriers for spirit to manifest in physical reality. All forms of inter-dimensional travel and communication are ruled by Uranus.

This limitless mental/electric force is often too acute and uncompromising for most of us, as we are caught up in what we 'believe' we should be like, based on our fears and desires. Then it mostly creates a willful and unruly attitude that could escalate further in a misunderstood and isolated life - constantly on the edge of either embracing or denying, either acting or reacting to the transformation of awareness Uranus seeks to establish.

Still, when our being is ready to let go of me and mine and receive the impersonal revelations Uranus offers, the intuition starts to function with a tremendous rate. Cross-referencing reality in such a way that one perceives and acts on that which is demanded in the present moment. Reordering our personal reality in tune with the Universe, finally stepping into uncharted territories for the good of Man, not just ourselves.

mercury midpoint H11aries
mercury = chiron+sedna/mars+ceres = ascendant+veruna/venus = moon/neptune = jupiter+orcus/descendant = uranus/IC+lilith = saturn opposite vesta /vertex = pluto/Nnode opposite sun

uranus midpoint H6 scorpio
uranus = vertex/descendant = pluto/neptune = saturn opposite vesta /venus = IC+lillith/MC = jupiter+orcus/ mars+ceres = sun+juno+pholus/moon = nessu/mercury = chiron/ascendant

It was actually midpoint structure patterns that first drew me astronuts. Since then I have cooled off on that original inquiry. It still shapes most of my thinking about my own chart. I think this pattern is pretty significant in explaining my experiences especially with talk of other dimensions and personal autonomy and alienation.

Mercury and uranus make an almost perfect 3/8 aspect - I think the interpretation was "too much" or "enough is enough" or something.
Today I am thinking of it as "overclocking" - too much thinking and memory and not enough cooling off and relaxing. I also think of this pattern in terms of electromagnetic waves received or given off by myself and electromagnets pulling me this way or that. One field perpetuating the other even through a vacuum. There seems to be an interesting duality to it.

Sorry it was all about me this time ... can't use the moon to redirect my personal energy this time for some reason hehe ...
I think it is because uranus has my moon's number (nearly exact trine) and is switching my redirection of personal energy up on me.

Strictly speaking of uranus in H6 (back to basics right?)
interesting psychosomatic experiences and strange experiences while meditating and other issues with the nervous system - overclocking like I said (at least that's what I think now)
frequent changes in my biological rhythms

Uranus is the planet I am most curious about because I feel it impacts me quite significantly and in a very personal way (uranus = sun/moon will do that) in spite of it being a "transpersonal" planet.

I have Uranus in the 7th house. I believe its about finding the right amount of freedom/autonomy to still be myself in a close relationship/marriage...to not be consumed or smothered by it. I do things all the time to maintain my(and her) autonomy even if she doesn't care for her own.

Come to think about it, Uranus in the 7th reminds me of that Rilke quote Sherpas so fond of(as am I):

"The point of marriage is not to create a quick commonality by tearing down all boundaries; on the contrary, a good marriage is one in which each partner appoints the other to be the guardian of his solitude, and thus they show each other the greatest possible trust. A merging of two people is an impossibility, and where it seems to exist, it is a hemming-in, a mutual consent that robs one party or both parties of their fullest freedom and development. But once the realization is accepted that even between the closest people infinite distances exist, a marvelous living side-by-side can grow up for them, if they succeed in loving the expanse between them, which gives them the possibility of always seeing each other as a whole and before an immense sky. "

Also 10th house Uranus is about career independence. You find mavericks in business who tend to strike out on their own at work. These people are no pen-pushers or corporate ladder climbers unless they were the ones who created the ladders and pens! I for a start have only been in full time employment for about six months in my entire career. I have been freelancing and thereafter with my own company all my life. Tenth house Uranians tend to create their own rules at work.

I have an 8th house Uranus at 29 deg Libra. Uranus is the least aspected planet in my chart. The only major aspect is Uranus conjuct(2 deg 55' orb) Mercury in Scorpio, 8th h. Mercury is also one of the least aspected planets in my chart. Both of these enrgeys in my chart feel like a subroutine that often operate out of sync with the rest of my chat.

I can see how natal Uranus can manifest in my life as a dangerous lack of inhibition relating to; personal relationships, consciousness explorations through the use of drugs, communication and other areas.... and also the other extreme of frozen immobility and inaction... I also see uranus in my need for freedom and autonomy in relationships, But also wanting to explore, know/experience and understand those relationships at the deepest possible level.

I also think my obsession with astrology is tied into my 8th house Uranus in libra... My study of astrology and my need to deepen my understanding of astrology and my natal chart kicked in when transiting Uranus crossed my Ascendant in 2000. This need has intensified as transiting Uranus has moved through my 1st house and made major aspects to my veuse, sun, moon conjunction in Scorpio and other planets. Transiting Uranus is currently trine my sun and Venus. The past year has been the most intense and fruitful period of astrological study yet.

I am glad that I am quite Uranian. I feel tha if I didn't have it in my natal, my heavy scorpionic aspects and signs would weigh me down too much.

I am going through a Uranian transit to my firts house. The last year has been INSANE! Thank God, cause I was getting bored.

"Uranus defies categorization and does not need to justify itself to society and tradition"

Uranus, as the ruler of Aquarius, is the extension of the Sun (Leo) into greater society. It is our own sense of individuality and how that relates to society. Justification or validation is actually kind of central to this... but, being of a fixed nature, Uranus pushes for society to change to fit the individual. It's an appreciation for individuality and diversity. Revolutions occur when a large enough part of a society doesn't feel validated or valued by that society. We assume that people are revolution automatically means the fight for "freedom" when in reality, they're usually a fight for validation.

The terms "freedom" and "autonomy" can get a little tricky in speaking of Uranus. One's idea of "freedom" could be completely different than another's. Communist and Socialist movements are as much Uranian as the American Revolution. Aquarius, being the air sign following Libra, the idea of justice or fairness is still a basis... while Venus/Libra attempts to balance the instinctive needs/drives of Aries, Uranus/Aquarius attempts to balance the individualistic/expressive needs/drives of Leo. This is why Uranus/Aquarius is associated with humanitarianism... a love of mankind, a respect for individuality, and an understanding of the importance of diversity.

Where Uranus is in our charts shows where we're unwilling to bend, where we push for the external to fit our individuality. Aspects to it will usually show in which ways we feel accepted or unaccepted as an individual in society.
