Uranus Healing and Development

Uranus was the Roman sky god, the first ruler of the universe. In astrology, Uranus is the planet of the future, associated with modern science, invention, electricity, humanitarian movements and revolution. It's the planet of sudden upheaval and swift, unexpected happenings. Its domain is all that is new, original, different, and unorthodox.

It can be seen as the planet of change and originality, symbolizing the element of surprise in your life. Uranus brings about sudden events and opportunities. It awakens, shocks, and revolutionizes. It is responsible for the flash of human genius that creates something new - whether it be in art or science.

Actions for no reason, attraction to an unusual or odd line of work, interest in modern science and the latest discoveries in the world are signs of a strong Uranus in the natal chart.

Uranus also relates to your inner will and your secret power. In certain aspects, its power is similar to that of Mars. The difference is that Uranus is a deep-seated energy within the personality, an unconscious purpose that is revealed over a lifetime. A person can be powerful even if he or she is physically crippled, and another person may have enormous energy that he or she scatters about for no purpose. The first person has a strong Uranus and an afflicted Mars. The Second has a powerful Mars and an underdeveloped and weak Uranus.

A powerful and well-developed Uranus makes you inclined to be independent and resourceful. It is the ruling planet of the divine spark in astrology. A powerful Uranus can make you a genius and a brilliant innovator.

An afflicted Uranus can make a person undisciplined, reckless, perverse, with unpredictable moods and too detached from people.

Some of the things Uranus governs in astrology include:

• freedom
• revolutions
• rebellion
• rapid changes
• unpredictability
• electricity
• engineering
• science
• the internet and everything related to computers
• social justice
• being a freak
• being a genius

Basically, it shows the life areas where you tend to play by your own rules instead of going with what is expected of you. In this life area, you question the status quo and this is where you rebel. It shows in which life areas you want to rebel and choose a different path than the rest of your peers. The sign and house that it occupies in your natal chart show where your own originality and special self-expression can be utilized the best.
