Uranus, the Sideways Planet, aptly named for being the only planet in the solar system that rotates on it’s side. As the natural ruler of Aquarius, Uranus represents change in the status quo. It’s revolutionary energy uproots tradition and disrupts societal norms. The energy given by Uranus is best represented by the discovery of new technology. For example, the advent of social media has changed the way we interact with one another, you could say it has revolutionized how we disseminate and consume information. This is Uranus at work.

Uranian energy is typically unexpected, eccentric, and original. This planet’s energy is true to it’s nature, it’s different, it spins on it’s side. The positive side of Uranus tends to usher in a new way of thinking, it’s scientific, progressive and innovative. The negative aspects of Uranus tend to be rebellious with a strong dislike for authority, it can be obstinate, clumsy and irresponsible.

Where Uranus is found in your chart, you will often see the area in your life where you are original and experimental. It’s likely the same area where you rebel against what you are “supposed” to do. If Uranus is well aspected, you may like to take a more scientific approach to things as opposed to going with your gut. And if negatively aspected, Uranus may make you feel clumsy or like an outcast who, despite everything you do, just can’t seem to fit in.

Out with the old, in with the new is the Uranian motto as he loves to do things different.
