Uranus is the planet of rebellion and freedom
Uranus is the planet of rebellion and freedom, and it’s associated with the sign Aquarius. In astrology, Uranus is associated with change and liberation. It’s a rebellious planet because it’s so far out there in the sky that it doesn’t abide by the laws of astrology in the same way that other planets do. The outer planets are associated with collective experience, which is why you can see their influences on both a personal level (i.e., your own life) and a collective level (the world).
While other planets move through each sign of the zodiac within one year or less, Uranus takes about seven years to complete its cycle. In fact, Uranus moves slower than any other planet in our solar system! Because of this slow movement, when transiting planets pass over your natal Uranus in an aspect (a connection between two or more planets), you feel the effects throughout a significant portion of your life. Also important to note: this influence becomes stronger as you get older because transiting Uranus is further away from where it was at your birth than when you were younger. So go ahead and rebel against aging; we’ll give you some suggestions below!
Uranus is associated with the sign Aquarius
Uranus, the planet of sudden and disruptive change, is associated with the zodiac sign of Aquarius.
Aquarius is an air sign, associated with communication, ideas and mental pursuits. It is a fixed sign that represents structure, stability and balance. As the 11th sign of the zodiac, it’s also associated with new beginnings and change at a societal level.
Uranus is one of two planets in modern times to be discovered (the other being Neptune). This was during the Enlightenment period when science was replacing religion as the primary source of knowledge about our world. For this reason, Uranus’ discovery was considered particularly important because it challenged our understanding of astronomy at the time.
Your Uranus sign shows what you value in your freedom
Uranus is the planet of rebellion and freedom. It’s associated with the sign Aquarius, which is known for being quirky, eccentric, and unusual. Uranus represents the unexpected and chaotic—so naturally, it’s unintuitive to think that this planet can actually bring more freedom into your life. But if you think about it, you can see how some of our greatest inventions were created out of a need to be free from social constraints or expectations in general.
The energy of Uranus can be unpredictable and sudden—it pulls us in directions we don’t expect or don’t have control over. What your Uranus sign shows is what you value in your freedom: Which area(s) of your life will require an unconventional approach? Your natal Uranus sign tells you where to dig deeper if you want to find true liberation.
Uranus is connected to technological advancements
Uranus is often interpreted as being connected to technological advancements, and even the excitement of space travel. Inventions like the telephone, the computer and the Internet are all attributed to Uranus.
In astrology, Uranus is also associated with science fiction. The planet represents the future and it is a time where we are headed for more (and better) technology in our lives.
The energy of Uranus can be unpredictable and sudden
The energy of Uranus is unpredictable and sudden. You don’t know when it will show up, but when it does it tends to come out of nowhere and throw your world upside down. It can be a positive thing, if you can get yourself out of the way and let that energy unfold naturally. But for most people it’s a little scary!
You cannot be held down if you have a strong Uranian influence!
Uranus is the planet of revolution and change. People born with a strong Uranian influence tend to be motivated by the pursuit of individuality and progress. They can be extremely rebellious and resolute in their actions. Uranus is associated with the sign of Aquarius and is often thought to be connected to technological advancements, as well as making things that are hidden or repressed more visible.
The energy of Uranus is sudden and unpredictable, which can make people with a strong Uranian influence seem very independent; however, it’s important for them to remember that there’s no need for them to do everything on their own! Reach out to your friends when you need help. That way they can share in your adventures too!
