Uranus in Capricorn, 1988-1996
Uranus in Capricorn saw many peoples' faith in their futures crash as corporate downsizing and other business revolutions pulled the rug out from under them. New strategies for survival, such as mentoring and consultancy, had to be formulated. This period also saw the beginning of the revolution against big business and its control of the public heart and purse. Uranus in this sign rebels against corporate structure.
Uranus in Scorpio, 1975-1981
With Uranus in Scorpio, sex became unexpectedly threatening with the rise of AIDS. It was progression from the sexual liberation of Uranus in Libra that created a revolution in attitudes toward sex and responsibility. Uranus in Scorpio has flashes of deep insight into the human condition.
Uranus in general
Uranus was discovered in 1781 by astronomer William Herschel. Uranus takes approximately 84 years to orbit the Sun, so its influence is mainly felt by a generation of people born when it occupies a sign. But its influence is personally activated in a chart when it is aspected by one of the personal planets. Uranus brings excitement, rebellion and sudden events.
Uranus in Aries, 1927-1935
The stock market crash that heralded the Great depression was one of those "bolts from the blue" that characterise Uranus in action. Uranus in this sign signifies unexpected events that end one cycle and start a new one. Unexpected reserves of courage and energy can surface.
Uranus in Sagittarius, 1981-1988
Uranus in Sagittarius was a period of revolution on the world stage that saw the end of the Berlin Wall and of the Soviet Union. Uranus in this sign marks the spiritual rebel, who will not quietly accept the prevailing viewpoint as gospel.
Uranus in Cancer, 1949-1956
The post-war years of Uranus in Cancer brought new technology (such as TV) into the home, and changed the emphasis to the "nuclear family" rather than the extended families of the past. Uranus in this sign signifies the need to "break the mold" of the past, and this can be emotionally disruptive.
Uranus in Taurus, 1934-1942
This transit saw the beginning of WWII, which was expected to be over quickly, but dragged on for six years. Uranus in this sign becomes stubbornly attached to ideas of territorialism and material gain, and charges at the opposition like a bull at a gate. This is a struggle between the desire for change (Uranus) and the stubborn refusal to adapt (Taurus.)
Uranus in Libra, 1968-1975
Uranus in Libra saw revolution in relationships, with skyrocketing divorce rates and the push by women to be liberated from the narrow confines of their lives. Uranus in this sign indicates an unusual and original approach to partnerships, with greater flexibility than was traditional.
Uranus in Gemini (1941-1949)
Uranus in Gemini creates unexpected allies and foes, and it transited this sign during WWII, which ended in 1945. Original and inventive ideas and communications and the ability to adapt quickly to changing circumstances characterise Uranus in this sign.
Uranus in Aquarius, 1997-2003
Uranus in its own sign (as it was in 1912-1920) creates chaotic, changing world conditions. After the Great War in 1914-1918, the world would never be the same again. After this period of upheaval, we can expect a similarly changed world view.
Uranus in Virgo, 1962-1968
Uranus in Virgo saw leaps in technology and the urge to pull things apart and put them back together in a new way. There was a resurgence of interest in natural and wholistic healing. Uranus in Virgo shakes the earth, with very noticeable and unexpected changes after the dust has settled again.
Uranus in Leo, 1955-1962
The arrival of rock'n'roll in the 50s sowed the seeds of youth rebellion in the 60s. Uranus in this sign overturns established tradition, and creates a natural rebel, with or without a cause.
