Uranus Through The Signs

Uranus is the planet of originality, revolution, science, progress and unexpected change. Uranus takes about 84 years to transit the zodiac, spending approx. seven years in each sign. Uranus is the third of the generational planets, or the outer planets with Jupiter being the first and Saturn being the second. The inner planets move quickly but when you get to Jupiter they begin to slow down, staying in a sign for a longer period of time makes lots of people have the same sign and this comes across as society type changes. Uranus becomes much more important in your chart if it is aspecting a luminary or conjunct an angle (1st, 4th, 7th & 10th house cusps).Uranus is the only planet we cant really do anything about, all we can control is how we react. Uranus makes things happen quickly, so that there is not time to think. You need to rely on what your last Saturn transit taught you and use that for reactions during a Uranus transit. The house that Uranus is in will determine where most of the drastic changes occur . Uranus rules Aquarius and shows where we are independent. Where Saturn is always cautious Uranus is always spontaneous.
