The planet Uranus in Astrology represents change, chaos, rebellion, revolution, innovation, upheaval and breaking free of the status quo. In the birth chart Uranus can show your potential for rebellion or where you may experience unexpected, chaotic changes and even instability. This planet can represent situations, relationships and experiences that are non-traditional and outside of societal norms.
Uranus is a planet of breaking free, sudden epiphanies, realizations and inner awakenings. In the birth chart it can show an area of your life where you may do things differently and march to the beat of your own drum. In Greek mythology Uranus is the God of the Sky and the Heavens and is the son and husband to the Goddess Gaia. He is a primordial God and is the father of the twelve Titan Gods.
Uranus represents individuality, originality and innovation as it’s focused on creating revolutionary change. This planet is very progressive and future forward. Although it can also create change in very chaotic, unexpected ways. Uranus will shake the foundation of something in order to shake things up or tear things down so that they can be rebuilt in a different more innovative way. Uranus is also connected to things like science, electricity, intelligence and thinking outside the box.
Challenging aspects made to your Uranus such as a square can represent the potential for obstacles, blow ups, breakthroughs and outbursts. Positive aspects made to Uranus such as a trine can indicate harmonious, creative, insightful and supportive expressions of Uranus.
When interpreting Uranus in your own chart it’ll be important to include the aspects made to Uranus because these will greatly influence how your Uranus is expressed. It will also show the unique challenges, opportunities and experiences connected to your expression of Uranus in this life.
