Uranus- Awakening and Freedom

 

 

Uranus is the impulse that awakens, which more often than not amounts to some form of disruption or surprise taking place. Uranus introduces you to the unusual or innovative, through the technological or metaphysical, making you aware of what is bubbling under the future in the making. Uranus represents what is unique about you as an individual human being, and ultimately towards the  recognition of the goals of the human race itself, something which is essentially the stuff of evolution. Uranian events and personalities are unexpected, taking the form of accidents or meaningful coincidence (synchronicity). Uranus is the spark of genius, it's electricity itself, and magic, that something in the air. In a word, Uranus is change. Uranus is intuition, which is simply a sense of the truth, the only thing that will set you free.

 



Uranus was discovered in the 20th century and has replaced the masculine side of Saturn as the ruler of the sign Aquarius. As astrologers traced the type of energy that seemed to emanate from Uranus, they found it tied in with the concepts symbolized by Aquarius, that it indicated an opportunity to expand consciousness, to advance human development in the humanitarian sense. Some people don't have lives that are personally affected by this planet except at a cursory level- they simply live in a generation born with Uranus in a particular sign and therefore a part of that generation's particular behavior pattern. However, when Uranus aspects personal planets, these people become involved in matters that are important to their generation, they become a part of a team of world changes.

Uranus seem to indicate certain behavior patterns. It can indicate a certain attitude that may conflict with planets which represents other facets of personality. The sun symbolizes the "I am " part of the personality; the Moon represents "I feel"; Venus "I want", Mercury stands for "I talk", Mars "I act", Jupiter "I relate", Saturn "I fear" and Uranus comes along with "I behave"

One may question the difference between "I am", and "I act" and "I behave" but there are subtle differences. The "I am " part of the self may never manifest; it cannot as long as the person doesn't resolve how he is different from humanity, and how his needs differ from those people he may imitate. Mars, representative of "I act" , indicates how he will take physical action to express himself. Uranus will, however, indicate behavior which can be very different from action. For example, consider the bully who rants and raves and threatens everyone in sight, but when confronted in turn, his actions don't match his words or his behavioral attitudes. He may behave as though he were pugnacious, and in reality act like a coward.

In terms of behavior, one can consider the Uranus placement the point of Eccentricity in the chart, for whatever the planet touches by aspect can be diagnosed as a part of the personality that will be handled in an unorthodox, unconventional or eccentric manner. Uranus also represents a point of increased conscious ness, and its location indicates the growth point in every individual's life. If we understand the placement of Uranus and consider how we can use this planet (or facet of personality) in the process of "finding" ourselves, Uranus can be a friend indeed. The Uranus point may be called the rebirth potential, perhaps it indicates the bursting of the cocoon for some.

Uranus in Sagittarius

You belong to a generation (the early or late 1980's ) whose impulse was to change religious, legal, cultural, and educational attitudes. This set in motion, especially in the post war generation, not only more liberal religious attitudes but also an amorality that fostered an increase in crime create because of a commensurate disrespect for the law in particular and for the difference between right and wrong in general. All this let the genie out of the bottle, the results of which are destabilizing and complex- but ultimately profoundly liberating.

Freedom is an issue for you where your working life is concerned. You are not keen on a rigid routine, so flexi-hours or self- employment are desirable, if not downright essential. Sharp ups and downs, along with interminable changes of fortune in the work sphere would indicate that job security is going to have to take second place to job satisfaction. There is or should be, something inventive or highly original about yourself.

Similarly, unpredictable health- especially intermittent or odd complaints- would point to your being a round peg in a square hole, or that a change of work environment or lifestyle was called for. Further regarding health,  you can successfully diagnose the cause of complaints- in yourself and others- by spotting the symbolism involved. For example, trouble with the pancreas, which regulated blood sugar, would suggest that one is bitter or sour about something, that life has lost its sweetness.

Retrograde Uranus: Symbol, Personality, Karma, Sign and House

The symbol for Uranus is formed by two opposite Crescents of Soul connected through the Cross of Matter. As the wayward wanderer of the heavens, Uranus has always been connected with all that symbolizes man's unique abilities to reach  beyond the mundane. In order to do so , he must break convention at all costs, often tearing himself in half in the process. The Soul Crescents pointing in opposite directions remind us of the lunar symbols of waxing and waning Moon; each presenting a different side of life, like the two sides of a coin which although they are so opposite  in nature cannot exist without each other.

The Cross of Matter stands at the center of this tug of war, symbolizing all that man has already established as his traditional foundations. From the Arms of this Cross, the two Soul Crescents constantly pull in opposite, and as yet uncharted directions. The nature of the Soul, seeking to explore the unknown, forces the individual to make continuous decisions between the stability he already knows and the positive and negative possibilities of all he has not yet tested.

Thus the symbol for Uranus stands less for man's unpredictability than it does for his striving to free himself from the matter or form side of life, which hampers all of the existential possibilities he innately knows he can reach.

When the planet is retrograde, one takes this as a personal crusade, feeling deeply within oneself a responsibility for the progress of mankind as a whole. The symbol when inverted puts the two Soul crescents closer to Earth. Thus, it is not enough for this individual to liberate himself. He must feel the freedom of everyone in his life space before he can be contented with the fact that the liberation of his own Soul has penetrated into the matter all of he sees around him.

Personality

The individual with the retrograde Uranus displays a rather unique personality. On his innermost levels he is a rebel against all that binds him. If he is a fearful person, he may exhibit claustrophobia. If he is a daring person, he will attempt to topple all that he sees as having outlived its usefulness. He cannot be contented to just go along with life, for there is too much he sees that can add richness to mankind if only society would shake itself loose from all of its false security anchors.

He will actually worry if others begin to accept him too much, for then he feels he has lost a great part of himself. In this respect, he will from time to time loose many friends and acquaintances, sometimes jobs, and romances all because the strangeness of his ideas is often too difficult for others to accept. And  yet, years later, when society is advocating all he once stood for, he no longer has an interest in whatever advanced theories or attitudes he was promoting at the time. Thus, he is very much a forerunner of the future. Because of this, he can experience a great deal of loneliness, but he would never give up his gift of originality for the companionship of others. He knows that above all else, his Soul must be free. Anything which impedes this freedom he will shake from his path. For those who are able to understand him, he is one of the most fascinating people to listen to; for he is literally filled with all of the ideas that mankind needs for the future of the human race.

Karma

On a personal level, Retrograde Uranus plays havoc in human relationships. The individual experiences an inner changeability that often makes him hypocritical to himself. His mental and emotional levels often fight each other so that he may know certain things which should lead him in the direction which his knowledge points to, but at the same time, he feels other things which may lead him in an entirely different direction. He is living a Karma of learning how to express the inner freedom that he brings into this life. And, He must not be bound by trying to make sense at all times to others, or even himself. a free spirit does not always appear to make sense, nor should it. The fact is, that a logical continuance of common sense in an individual is more of a Saturnian trait, bound by the rigidity of order, discipline, and the pointing of oneself towards specific goals. But, the individual with Retrograde Uranus is not living such karma.

In order to explore his inner being, as well as so many other realms of understanding that mankind as a whole has not yet reached, his path is often long and crooked. He darts this way and that seeking that his quest is a never-ending process, for each new discovery leads to still another question. He can be extremely happy so long as others do not try to force him into molds of thinking and behavior patterns that he has already transcended due to meaningless roles they play in his perception of the grand scale. He has learned how to be independent in former incarnations, and now he must use this independence to rediscover and understand the reason he originally wanted it.

Retrograde Uranus in Sagittarius

Here the individual spends most of his time in phase 1 of the Retrograde process. Itching for future and distant horizons not yet within his reach, he keeps aspiring for all that is symbolic of whatever is beyond the mundane things in life. As such,  he has difficulty stabilizing himself in his practical day-to-day living. He cannot focus on small things or details for very long, because he gets border very easily. HE needs constant new stimulation to satisfy the very active thirst for life that keeps driving him on.

He loves to travel, and if he's not doing it physically then his mind is mentally roaming through all the unknown regions he has not yet explored. Still, he is not necessary a deep person. Instead, it is scope, breadth, and bigness that he is seeking. This is a rather difficult position for marriage, since the individual feels threatened when he is restricted. He needs room to explore all the possibilities he finds in his higher mind, and any attachment to one person would deny him the advantages of superficiality experiencing many.

This same attitude carries over into the most of the areas in his life. Following one religion would violate the Uranian need to be fair to the others coupled with the Sagittarian drive to experience them all. He goes through career changes for the same reason. While all this may seem to indicate that he is a very scattered person in terms of other people's values, he sees it as fulfilling his insatiable curiosity to experience all there is to life. And, when he is allowed to follow his numerous directions ( which don't always seem to relate to each other) he is able to maintain a very high levels of enthusiasm. This enables him to be a kind a Karmic messenger, bringing to everyone he meets, the piece of life they need at the moment. Thus, while he is enjoying himself in each new discovery he is actually a spreader of seeds that others will care for, nurture, and help to mature into what will become man's future consciousness.

Retrograde Uranus in the 6th House

Here the individual can express great innovations in his daily work routine. He can take the most mundane chores and discover uniquely interesting ways of dealing with them. At the same time, he is highly sensitive. This makes him particularly open to influences in the external environment, which in turn make him feel the need to be activate at all times as he can become internally restless.

No matter how much this individual may say that he wants peace, he tends to vibrate to all that takes life from the mundane to the exciting. Thus, if peace is really his intentions, he has a powerful tendency to defeat himself. One of his greatest concerns is wondering why other people do things the way they do. This train of thought leads them into constantly trying to understand the motivations of everyone around him.

Karmically, he is a great innovator on the physical plane. Past incarnations have given him a great understanding of the relationships and processes of the physical world. Regardless of which retrograde phase he is in any given movement, he is constantly seeking to understand, or looking to apply his understanding, so that he may be of better service to the world around him. All he has to learn is how to stay calm and collected in the process.

There is something in you that, consciously or unconsciously, rebels against authority, your parental and social background, or anything which smacks of limiting your freedom. This in turn causes you to be unreliable, unpredictable, or bored with your work or home life. Unless you wish this disruptive and non-productive influence to continue, you will need to identify and sort out what that 'something' is.

Putting it all Together:

This aspect does make me an odd duck- but I stuck to my guns and found someone who could understand me and Halloween will be 8 years together. I make it a point to give people the knowledge to free themselves from anything that is oppressing them- unconscious or consciously. I want this world to be free from tyranny, hypocritical anything and for human beings to focus on the similarities of others and for get our differences. If I had to fight for my freedom- face my inner demons and come head to head with myself - I think others should to. Because When I was shackled and bound by my father's oppressive nature I still kept my light. I maintained my inner spark. When the abusive boyfriends came I managed to keep my inner light. When I figured out the root of this I made efforts to find the fun in everyday things; make it interestingly fun on order to get through my day and realized that my father has no power over me. My decisions, or my psyche. I have worked tremendously on all of my natal chart aspects so that I may be a more complete person.
