Uranus is the chaos maker of the chart. As much as we are often annoyed by it, we need it for our unique path.
Uranus is the only planet "rolling forward". Its movement stands out; it is different, unusual, and doesn't seem to fit in. This energy applies to us as well. Where Uranus is, there is uniqueness. Sometimes we very much reside this energy and sometimes we experience it from the outside. Either we are the ones with the different rhythm (and therefore are probably irritating others), or our circumstances suddenly are doing their own thing.
The tricky thing about Uranus is that the energy is neither controllable nor does it announce itself in any way. So we have to face both the uncertainty and the powerlessness when we get to experience the energy of this planet. No wonder it feels rather uncomfortable for us.
Funny enough: The more we let "things happen" with Uranus, the easier it gets. When we embrace the rebellious, free energy, we naturally follow the process and experience the more pleasant effects. It's a matter of trusting that better times will come. So although it's not easy, it may well be worth overcoming the fear of Uranus-influenced life situations.
We cannot predict what Uranus will do in our horoscope. But we can see in which areas of life we feel more or less comfortable with it; we can also see how much we resist the energy; and we can see indicators of how we can deal with it with a sense of “I'll get through this”. To get an overview you can read the following sections of this article.
Uranus is a slow planet and stays for about 7 years in a zodiac sign. It gives Uranus a small generational impact. So typically, for the individual, the house placement and the aspects are more visible and noticable than the zodiac placement.
Please note that this list is only a guideline and therefore only serves as an orientation. An overall view of the horoscope is required for complete validity.
