Uranus transits
Uranus indicates the need for change. Either major transitions or incessant fluctuations emerge
as the pattern of manifestation depending on how the individual copes with his or her push for freedom.
Transformations may occur quickly and require a long period of adjustment, or progress slowly, possibly
occurring late in the transit and only after a long period of anticipation or restlessness. As a rule, most
changes are expected, predicted, and initiated by the native him or herself. Many are carefully planned
and well-executed, involving a minimum of tension and anxiety.

With Uranus transits, you cannot stay with the old structures. You must modernize and create
more freedom in your life. By studying the transiting placement of Uranus and the natal planet/s it
aspects, you can see where changes are more urgently needed and more likely to occur. Conditions
associated with the house position of transiting Uranus are likely to evolve significantly over the year and
the focus of change will be directly related to the planet being aspected.

Increasing restlessness is the early psychological warning signal for this transit. The desire for
change will increase as situations are outgrown. You will feel unsettled. If you wish to work with the
process, welcome the opportunity for adjustment and make all the necessary preparations. Start by
asking questions. Consider alternative ways of handling issues facing you. Do not lock yourself into one
pattern of growth. Allow changes and insights to develop naturally during the transit.

Generally, it is only when the individual thwarts needed changes or tightly controls situations that
tensions manifest in the form of anxiety. These emotions result from ambivalent feelings in those who
resist their own process. These people get caught between a fear of change and a strong desire for the
very change they fear. A dual mind-set takes over, one built on an approach to, and also an avoidance
of, change. When one is unable to effect needed changes, the mind splits between two mutually exclusive
goals. Anxiety results. Eventually, the mental ambivalence and erratic commitments to two very different
paths are reflected in fluctuating external conditions. Long overdue, yet still avoided changes, manifest
in the environment as disruption caused by others, or by areas of neglect. Adding to the anxiety is a
perceived loss of control over external situations. Eventually, the restlessness and tension rise to a
feverish pitch until one finally agrees to make changes, or can no longer prevent their occurrence. When
conditions reach this intensity, individuals usually make reactionary changes, without careful consideration
or adequate preparation. They do not have the tools to handle a process they have been avoiding
all along. Sudden upheavals occur rather than welcomed transitions. If you would truly be in control of
your own destiny, you would listen to the need for change and respond to the earliest hints of restlessness.
You would give yourself the freedom to work towards a conscious transition before a crisis arose.

Consistent with the desire for change is the need for freedom. You cannot maneuver if you are
locked in a restrictive environment. The push for freedom is a common precursor to change, but other
times, the change itself is the motivating force behind the process. Sometimes, both mechanisms are
operating and intertwined. Freedom allows the process of change to develop smoothly. Freedom is also
a frequent bi-product of changes occurring.

When you are functioning at your best and working positively with Uranian concepts, you move
easily through a series of questions and alternatives, eventually making choices and taking independent
action. You learn and grow from all encounters. Your desire for options, answers to questions, and
alternatives to problems leads you to many different situations, persons, or concepts. It is important to
watch what experiences you are drawn to during this time. Observation is a necessary step before choice.
Do not resist the insights that follow. Take in fresh information. Learn to value all experiences. You will
see that no one person, place or idea is perfect. The same is true of your existing circumstances to which
you hold so tightly. This realization brings you to the door of choice, aware of changes that need to be
made with possible options for the future.

The arrival of insight signals the beginning of the period of decision. You start by reassessing your
involvements and commitments, and then choose to detach either internally or externally from those
situations, persons, or concepts which restrict your growth or no longer have anything to offer you. You
learn as much from defining what you don.t like as you do from defining what you do like. The changing
environment, comparisons and contrasts, accentuate what is important and what is not. Take corrective
action and adjust circumstances to your needs. Separations might occur, but not always. Detachment is
a more accurate word, and you can detach internally while maintaining the external experience. But
freedom and choice must arise on either the inner or outer plane. You must choose, otherwise the choices
will be made for you.

Remember that this process of question, decision and independent action is an ongoing one,
occurring on many different levels simultaneously. Events might be sudden and complete, or reoccur
in numerous small steps.

All planets represent a creative process. Uranus is the creative process experienced through
change. The exposure to various ideas, situations and people stimulates original thought and sudden
insight. One becomes accustomed to looking at life from different perspectives. The multifaceted
approach encourages working with new ideas. In this way the individual begins to participate in the
process of change by creating his or her own options.

Uranus transiting the Sun
Uranus aspecting the Sun suggests a time when egotistical forces of the conscious personality
must be released or transformed either internally or externally for growth to continue. This transit is like
spring cleaning for the ego. Even though you pick up your house daily and keep it clean, sooner or later
you must do spring cleaning. The windows need washing, the rugs need beating, and the walls need
scrubbing. You clean the closets and throw out what is no longer useful while reorganizing what you wish
to retain. The same is true of the ego. Eventually, you outgrow your present “beingness” and find that
certain behaviors are no longer useful. This excess baggage needs to be eliminated or transformed.
Uranus transits to the Sun indicate a time when this is most likely to happen.

It is natural to latch on to what works and stay with it. Familiarity breeds security, even when what
is familiar is also burdensome. We all get “snagged” by a particular idea, fear, or mode of being. We put
blinders on and refuse to see the major or minor changes that need to be made. We are afraid to let go
of our positions, unaware of options. We fail to see beyond the needs of a snagged ego, desperate to
maintain a passe’ position, fearful what the future might bring, frozen in time and space.

Uranus is the planet which symbolizes freedom, desired or not, from a stalled position. The more
resistent you have been in the past and the longer the forces of tension have been allowed to build up,
the more powerful and less controllable the release. The more options you have available, the more likely
you are to channel the changes in a productive manner. Certainly, the search for alternatives is crucial
to assuaging fears, releasing tension, and directing results. You can move on to something better during
this transit, or you can simply move on.

During the time of the Uranus transit to your Sun, significant life changes will occur, either
externally or internally. Possible events include pregnancy/birth, career switch/job transfer, marriage/
divorce, relocation, or illness for you or someone close to you. Internal psychological transformations
are just as likely to occur, even more so for those who have created the options. Included in the inner
process are movements from boredom to originality. Freedom replaces restriction. The final outcome,
whether external or internal is associated with the amount of pent up personal energy to be released and
the range of options created. Resistance tends to lead to externalization. If you are in touch with your
masculine side, the process is more likely to be internal and generated by you. However, if you are not
in touch with your masculine side and especially if you are a woman who resists her more assertive urges,
the period of growth is most apt to be focused externally on a significant man in your life.

Jean was a middle-aged woman having trouble in her relationship to her husband. With her 12th House Sun,
she wanted him to take the lead in most matters, but he refused. He rarely took the initiative and resisted most
changes. Jean, on the other hand, had many ideas about what could or should be done, especially in regards to the house. She was the motivating force behind the decision to put an addition on their small home. The construction and renovation took over a year. During this time, Jean consulted with her husband on everything, but he offered more resistance and negativity than input. Jean wanted companionship in the building process, something her husband didn’t offer. He objected to everything, making the process much more arduous. They fought repeatedly. Jean hated working alone and having to make decisions. She also hated having to push to get the smallest thing done. Jean was in a dilemma and stalled.

The push-pull situation went on until Uranus contacted Jean’s Sun. At that point her husband
became seriously ill and could offer no assistance or resistance whatsoever on any decision, even those
associated with his care. Jean was forced to take complete responsibility for all decisions. With Neptune
also transiting her Sun, compassion rose. She saw her husband for what he was and understood what
he could not be. She stepped back from trying to change him and assumed the very power she had avoid.
She stopped asking for permission and he stopped giving her resistance. Because of his illness, she
accepted the freedom she avoided to make decisions entirely on her own.

Uranus transiting the Moon
Probably the most common external manifestation associated with Uranus transits to the Moon
is a change in domestic situation. Either you move from one place to another, or someone else moves
in or out of your home. A “musical chairs” routine can occur in the home as occupants move from one
bedroom to another or change the house around to suit personal needs or preferences. Renovations,
additions, repairs and redecoration may be included in the grand plan for change.

A disruption in the home or family can lead to an emotional reorientation. On the other hand,
emotional changes can be the motivating force behind modifications to the home. It.s a question of
which comes first, the chicken or the egg. Changes occur on more than one level. Emotional
transformations go hand in hand with events occurring on the physical plane. While Uranus transits to
the Sun indicate house cleaning for the ego, Uranus transits to the Moon indicate emotional house
cleaning. Nonproductive patterns of response need to be eliminated from your repertoire so true
intimacy can occur. Feelings of rejection, guilt, fear, and anger snag your development and lock you into
stalemated conditions. Uranus transits to the Moon indicate a time when you can break away from
patterns holding you back. The process of emotional release might be easier for women than men. A male
who is not in touch with his emotions will tend to have a difficult time with a woman during this transit.
She might be more in tune with tensions occurring in their relationship and create the necessary changes.
Females who are equally out of touch will tend to have trouble with their mothers. Though the purpose
is always internal growth, the triggering events can be external.

Relationships are bound to be affected by all this internal and external coming and going. You
could become involved in a new relationship, or an old one might go through a period of transition or
separation. Strong attractions are also possible at this time. If you feel caught in an emotional rut, dramatic
changes are more likely to occur.

As your situation and emotional needs change, you face new issues and problems. Changing
scenarios accentuate your ability or inability to handle emotions and relationships effectively. Negatively,
emotional control is difficult and feelings are erratic. You are overwhelmed one day, or detached and cool
the next. You say or do things without considering the emotional consequences. But then, off-the-cuff reactions
might be necessary to give you the freedom needed to make internal or external changes.

Positively, this can be a time of emotional potential, full of new feelings and greater intimacy. You could
circumvent negative or debilitating emotions by creating new emotional patterns.

Karen became a new mother as Uranus transited her Moon. She had waited a long time for this. She was in
her thirties when she married and wanted to start a family immediately, which she did. The role suited her well.
Although it was a major change for her, she thrived with the new responsibility. In the early months, days
were very hectic, but after things quieted down, Karen grew restless. Her husband was frequently away
on business. His new company was doing well, but required much of his time. Karen missed seeing him,
but knew not to dwell on negative feelings. She was used to working full-time, so she decided she needed
a project to occupy her days. Since money was not a problem, she began to design a new home for her
family. She drew up the plans with an architect, hired a construction crew and oversaw the building
process. The house went through many changes while under construction and is still not finished, but
it has given Karen an outlet for her restlessness. Meanwhile she is still encouraging her husband to spend
more time at home. She wants him to enjoy their good fortune.

Uranus transits to Mercury
Uranus transits to Mercury suggest a time when you are open to new and different ideas,
methods, and ways of thinking. Insights arise from what you are learning and studying, or from concepts
you are developing on your own. Your thoughts grow more complex and profound as you learn to see
things differently, viewing situations from many points of reference. Thinking becomes holographic
with multifaceted connections into other areas of life and many levels of interpretation. Straight-line
thinking becomes passe’.

A mental shift occurs from left brain critical processes to right brain creativity and understanding.
Some find this shift difficult to make, but most make it easily. As facts become interconnected, the ability
to learn, understand and remember increases. Sudden realizations are the order of the day and psychic
openings are possible as intuition is heightened. Creativity grows and you are wise to take advantage of
these impulses. Strive for originality by investigating new ideas and brainstorming with others. Open to
new possibilities by eliminating left brain resistances and favoring insight over rational thinking.

Implied with this transit is an increase in problem-solving ability. You are able to approach
problems from a variety of perspectives and need not get locked into one way of thinking or being.
Alternatives help you to break stalemates and negative thought patterns that hinder growth. You become
mentally versatile, adapting to situations as they arise or modifying circumstances to suit your needs.
The freedom to investigate many ideas occasionally leads to a very unfocused mind. Concentration
becomes difficult if you constantly run from one project or concept to another. Thinking is
interrupted by erratic impulses and insights. It becomes difficult for you to stay with one thought. New
information is more exciting than reorganizing what you already know or concentrating on what you have
to learn. If you must work on a lengthy project requiring a sustained mental effort, take frequent breaks
and rotate tasks. Keep your interest level high by being very creative and spontaneous in your approach.

Some individuals experience psychological strain during this time. Increased nervousness can
usually be traced back directly to a stressful situation. Investigate the sources of tension. If possible,
withdraw from situations which tax your mental and physical health. Practice relaxation techniques and
avoid stimulants. Work on calming and nurturing your nervous system.

Debra took a job as an executive secretary for the head of a large company just as Uranus squared
her Mercury. Soon after she started working, she learned that her job would involve some travel. At the time, Debra had a tremendous fear of flying and was incapable of getting on a plane. She would have panic attacks just thinking about it. She had to overcome her fear or lose her job. It was time to free herself from this debilitating phobia. Debra decided to see if hypnosis would help her. During her weekly visits with the hypnotherapist, she learned to relax her body and reprogram her mind. She also learned about dream analysis and past life regression. Things started to make sense as she began to work with her fear. Her intuition grew and she had great insights into her own healing. After a year, she was ready for the big test and flew across country for the first time. She is now a regular (though admittedly sometimes reluctant) air traveller.

Uranus transiting Venus
Uranus transits to Venus usually denote changes in relationships. For some people, this will mean
a sudden attraction and the excitement of a new love. Involvements can be very strong and very quick,
but may not have staying power. It.s easy come, easy go and extremely exciting in between. Intense
attractions might lead to marriage, but short-term affairs or loose associations are more likely. Turn
arounds occur as friends become lovers and some love relationships seem more friendly than intimate.
Less conventional arrangements are also possible. These include clandestine or extramarital affairs,
homosexual contacts, May-December romances, and long distance love.

An already existing relationship can go through a period of adjustment. Difficult associations will
most likely end or become on-again, off-again erratic involvements. Permanent or temporary separations
are likely, especially when commitments are lacking or never kept.
But for those in healthy associations, changes will occur within relationships themselves. The
Uranus transit will not indicate a break in ties or a loss of dedication between lovers. Bonds can
strengthen. Changes will be discussed and agreed upon by both parties. One person might need the
freedom to pursue a personal, career or educational goal. A partner might be totally supportive of this
move. Changes that affect both parties are likely, and issues of fidelity and open marriage are sometimes
topics for discussion. External factors such as pregnancy and health also lead to change.

A general mood of disruption and restlessness permeates all partnerships, whether old or new.
Expectations and behavioral patterns which were once taken for granted may now be nonexistent. New
patterns emerge, and you can expect the unexpected. While the necessary adjustments are being made,
the continuing disruption can cause conflict and temporary distancing between the people involved.
Financial changes will also occur when Uranus transits Venus. There may be a break or
fluctuation in income because of commissions, incentives, layoffs or part-time hours. Financial windfalls
in the form of gifts and inheritances occur, but shortages and large expenses are just as likely. During
this transit, some people become self-employed while others dispose of excess possessions.

Joan had been divorced from her husband John for five years. It was a very bitter divorce and the fighting had continued without stopping. Joan was always suing her ex-husband and he was always harassing her or counter-suing. Joan worried about money. She was dependent on John for support and had to pinch pennies to make ends meet. The support checks were generally late as John delayed every transaction. So Joan went back to court to have her husband’s salary garnished and the check deposited automatically.
Things were quiet for a while, but then John retaliated. Using the account number for the automatic
check deposit, he was able to withdraw all Joan’s money leaving her penniless. He did this the day Uranus transited square Joan’s Venus for the second time. Joan is now back in court suing her husband for return of the funds and also suing the bank for wrongful conduct and damages.

Uranus transiting Mars
Strong changes, usually self-initiated, are associated with Uranus transits to Mars. Freedom of
action is the motivating force behind these changes and any restriction will be met with assertiveness if
not anger. You refuse to get trapped in a situation without options. You need room to maneuver.
Anything boring is out. Anything new and exciting is accepted and encouraged. You reject tired routines
and repetitive conflicts.

Changes range from a constant stream of minor adjustments to dramatic and sweeping
transformations. Either form can be beneficial or detrimental depending on individual differences and
the manifestation. Delays are unlikely since speed is of the essence. Once the process has begun, matters
tend to move forward quickly. During this time, you may become more assertive or more detached. You
may set concrete goals for the future or retreat from an unrewarding path. The tendency is to abandon
situations that are no longer productive or comfortable. The amount of control you have over these
changes depends on the choices you make or refuse to make.

Changes in relationships are common with this transit and are most apt to occur in those
associations which involve sexual activity or require an assertive or aggressive demeanor. New and
powerful attractions are possible since sexual energy is heightened in those who are experienced, or
awakened in those who are not. Sexual experimentation increases as you investigate different forms of
stimulation and diverse techniques. Occasionally, preferences change, as one is more likely to meet
people with a different sexual orientation.

During this transit, behavior patterns might be somewhat erratic, and on-again, off-again
situations will exist. Partners come together, relationships break up, and change is the order of the day.
A need for greater freedom is usually the cause.

Ted was in his early thirties and very unhappy with his situation at home as Uranus transited opposition his Mars. His marriage was not stable. Although he loved his wife and they were still good friends, they realized that they were not happy together as husband and wife. They had numerous fights which left Ted feeling drained and withdrawn. Ted was also dissatisfied with his job. He had worked for a wonderful company for many years, but now, with the recession, the company was in financial trouble. His boss, who was normally pleasant to work for, succumbed to stress and took his anger out on anyone available. Job security was
nonexistent. Ted felt trapped. He did not have the education he needed to get ahead. Nor did he have the time to go to school or a quiet place to study. Tension at home was high and his wife was constantly making demands on him.

Finally Ted made some decisions and took action. He cut back on his hours at work, dropping to 30 hours a week. He refused to fight with his wife and moved out of the house and into an apartment, sharing expenses with a roommate. Their relationship got better as they both began to calm down. With his wife already working, they were able to budget their incomes and share the expenses of raising their daughter equally. This left Ted with enough money to pay for school and enough time to study. He is now continuing his education and dating his wife.
