• Uranus

Buckle up! This fast-paced planet is responsible for change—whether you're expecting it or not.

Uranus isn't interested in where you've been. It's interested in where you're going. Think of this planet as the rebellious teenager of the zodiac, railing against the comforts of childhood and trying on a new identity for the future. In that vein, Uranus constantly asks you to reconsider whether your traditions are working for you and what you want to manifest in the future.

This energy is disruptive, as it challenges you to move away from the pack and carve your own place in the world. But while it can be disconcerting (challenging your identity is overwhelming!), it can also be revelatory and enlightening. It challenges us to break free and illuminates what we need to start anew.

Meaning of the Symbol of Uranus

Uranus' glyph depicts the circle of spirit ascending into the cross of matter, balanced by two soul crescents. Uranian transits are likened to earthquakes in that they stimulate sudden shake ups, which destroy structures built through Saturnian discipline. In its glyph, the insight of repressed consciousness (the circle of spirit) aims to fracture the foundations of materiality (the cross of matter), much like an earthquake rends the ground beneath our feet. The crescents create a container for reconstruction, as the soul is aware that innovation and change are necessary components of maturation and evolution.
