Uranus shakes up any house it transits and gives a wake up call to any planet it touches. “Hey, wake up! There’s a new way to go about things.” It’s a creative gateway for new alternative solutions to complex problems in the collective consciousness.
What Uranus Means!
It is originally associated with Aquarius, the highest air sign opposite from the Sun’s domain (Leo), the self. Uranus is about the collective consciousness, not the personal identity. In fact, a Uranus transit can even block us from achieving our ego drives and desires. It’s pretty darn inconvenient! For example, if it transits over the Sun (Taurus), the outcome can be pretty contradictory. It’s where our personal power and identity become diffused and expanded outwards to incorporate a larger universal identity.
Likewise when it touches a personal planet like Venus, our personal values and passions, it can make us value friendship over raw sexuality in our intimate relationships. If it’s transiting on the Moon, it can make us comfortable with clutter and chaos; we just feel more creative and free in it. Moon is our rhythm and Uranus is there to break it up and introduce something alternative into the mix.
Uranus is commonly the higher octave of Mercury, interested in using creative intelligence to solve complex problems plaguing humanity. It is associated with Prometheus taking bringing fire down to mankind to ensure progress. Uranus is associated with revolutionaries, scientific genius and homosexuality. The mythology of Uranus serves to provide a greater insight into how it really functions on the psychological sphere of being (eg. astrology).
Uranus can be transiting from your ascendant, the life path, or it can be transiting from your Sun (soul-self), or your Moon: the emotional/psychological nature.
Where, Exactly, is Uranus Impacting Your Life?
If it is occurring from the point of view of the Moon, you’ll want to apply the following statements through the filter of your mind or emotional state. The transit would also impact your mother or primary caretaker. When it comes to the Sun, however, it has more to do with your larger world, which is what you are consciously aware of and focused upon. The light of the Sun illuminates certain qualities and brings them into our awareness, which then get incorporated as the personality. It’s part of the reason why so many resonate with their sun sign horoscope. That zodiac sign represents qualities that have been illuminated by the Sun’s transit through the sign from the geo-centric perspective.
With all that said, Uranus will spur the fixed signs into action far more than others: Leo, Aquarius, Scorpio and Taurus. Planets transiting angles become powerful and push the person to engage with certain themes in life — in this case, it’s a revolutionary way of making money, growing your own food or meeting needs for comfort.
Uranus Shocks Each Sign at Different Intervals
Uranus moving through houses 1-6 involve revamping and revolutionizing one’s foundation. In the 7th house, it produces relationships that mirror our particular weaknesses. Whereas, from houses 8-12, Uranus revamps and awakens our role in the larger world or the external engagements we have with others in society.
Uranus Moving Through Earth: Solidifying and Structuring Changes
With Capricorn and Virgo, Uranus will have to be incorporated as part of the identity, as it forms the 5th and 9th aspect, creative expression and higher understanding. It gives the smooth energy of the trine aspect that assists these two earth signs in meeting their objective in a new ingenious way.
With Libra, Sagittarius and Gemini, Uranus can be a real kick in the groin! It creates the 6th (blocks), 8th (changes) and 12th (losses) aspect, which can govern certain life stresses that help us grow on a spiritual level. It’s ultimately pretty positive.
Oh, and for Aries, Pisces and Cancer, Uranus will push these signs towards either building a new foundation for greater self-sufficiency or adopting new futuristic goals for the future.
Aries/2nd House
You will have to discover new ways of making an income, eating nutritious foods and vocalizing your needs to other people. You might suddenly find yourself encountering occult or hidden ideas. It’s a good time to freelance or incorporate new technology in your daily work.
Taurus/Asc.
Your identity and your world will have a sudden turn-around and you’ll want to break free to better express who you really are — not who society has told you to be. This is where you can find your unique path and unique identity. Maybe you’re going to art school, end up getting rejected from it and — WHAM! — you decide to run for political office right after writing a best-selling book called “My Struggle,”…*cough, cough*…In all seriousness, you’ll want a new life, period.
Gemini/12th House
This is where there may be unique out-of-the-blue losses or expenditures, mainly financial in nature. Your dreams and unconscious states will become sources of sudden shocking insights on how to address your needs and desire for security/foundation in life. These changes in your unconscious states or dreams will impact your health and daily routine — watch for that.
Cancer/11th House
You’ll be making new and unorthodox social connections and expanding your network circle to include rather eccentric personalities. Uranus is breaking up your attachments to the friends you’ve had since kindergarten. The goals and aspirations you have may get a wake-up call and force you to make a drastic change for something better.
Leo/10th House
New and unexpected responsibilities will enter your world where you might just find yourself changing careers. Your image in the world might become more counter-culture and humanitarian – as you use your confidence to give your two cents on the security needs faced by the larger society. Your father, or any authority figure, will face sudden life changes.
Virgo/9th House
Your personal philosophies, beliefs and ability to complete higher educational goals may face an unexpected, untoward change. Perhaps you don’t need to go that route, and you’ll find something better. There will be news financial beliefs entering your consciousness.
Libra/8th House
Uranus is about revolutions and humanitarian progress. And in the 8th house it finds directional strength/power to fulfill its purpose of bringing about a fresh change in life. You might witness quirky, unorthodox sudden changes in your intimate sexual relationships, joint finances and the relationship you have with…oh boy…your in-laws!
Scorpio/7th House
Your relationships will be more platonic and less about the normal physicality that you’re used to. It’s time to change how you engage with others and the needs/desires they bring to the table when entering a relationship with you. People are entering your life to wake you up about certain truths.
Sagittarius/6th House
Your daily work might face a sudden change, as will your health and routines. You might find a unique new form of working or getting your sweet tooth satisfied. Consider refinancing your debts and alternative diet plans, if applicable.
Capricorn/5th House
Your children will want to break free and go on an unusual path. Be careful about having an unexpected pregnancy. It could happen now. Unique time to showcase your creativity and obtain unique advice or counseling. Schedule a session with an astrologer; it might just do the trick! 😉
Aquarius/4th House
Uranus is here to break your emotional stagnation apart. Your roots, traditions and old bonds might have to go — within reason. You’ll want to completely revolutionize your home and property. You’ll either move suddenly in order to adapt to turbulent financial circumstances, or you’ll find a new way of meeting your security needs and finding contentment.
Pisces/3rd House
This is the time when you might get interested in learning new technologies or skills to help meet your financial needs. Short-distance trips and interactions with siblings will become a bit more unusual and unexpected. New, alternative and unusual ways of thinking and communicating (we’re all doing that with technology now) will also impact your wider beliefs (9th house oppositional aspect).

No More Playing Around!
All of the changes surrounding finance, food and security needs will really kick into high gear next year, 2021, where Mars will catch up with Uranus and conjunct it in Taurus. This will add more energy, willpower, logic and determination towards forcibly acting on revolutionizing our financial conditions. It will be time to put in the work to meet our needs!
Uranus in Taurus for each Generation
Millennials, 1981-1996: Your natal Neptune/Uranus are mostly in Capricorn
Uranus transiting in Taurus means it is in the 5th sign from your original birth chart Uranus. This is a highly creative time with respect to the house that Uranus/Neptune rules. It’s a time to ground and practically express creative ideas in the world through whatever aspect of life (12 houses) that you most want to engage in unique self-actualization.
Gen. X 1965-1980: Pluto and Uranus are in Virgo & in Libra
Neptune is in Scorpio: Uranus is angular now and it is situated in the 7th sign from your Neptune, a mirror providing an awakening to showcase all of your self-delusions or misconceptions about your shared finances or joint accounts.
Neptune is in Sagittarius: Uranus transits the 6th sign now, which is about suddenly breaking away from delusional beliefs about where you’re expanding your horizons, but in actuality, it’s where your trust and zeal derails you from true productivity and happiness. This naturally happens through the financial/economic obstacles that impact everyone. Uranus is about the collective, not the individual.
Uranus & Pluto in Virgo: Uranus is moving through the 9th sign from your natal Uranus. It’s a time where the sudden financial breaks or new alternative methods for meeting your needs alter what you’ve come to believe about uniquely organizing and discriminating the productive and non-productive pursuits in your daily routines/activities.
Uranus & Pluto in Libra: Uranus transits the 8th sign from your natal Uranus/Pluto. Now is a time when there is a sudden revolutionary change in the karmic cycle of your relationships (power struggles and hidden motives, psychological projections included) come undone due to a new way of meeting needs and finding financial security in life. Your financial status always impacts the quality of relationships. The 6th and 8th aspect of Libra and Taurus indicate that our relationships can provide us a sudden change in our finances (we spend more or save). Our financial state can restrict our relationships and make them harder (more 6th house work).
Gen Z 1997-2015: Uranus and Neptune are in Aquarius
If you’re 8-23 years old and reading this blog, this one is for you!
Uranus is transiting in the 4th sign from your natal Uranus. This signifies a sudden change in the support you have to be a unique, free liberated individual. This can happen in any house or area of life (2nd house: finances, 1st house: identity, 6th house: your habits/work, etc.) This is where your foundational need to “fight the system” and have unusual friendship circles gets shaken by the collective. You might want to meet more friends in person, rather than spend time connecting over the internet. Also, the current Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn transit in Capricorn moves through the 12th house from these higher consciousness planets; the current economic powerlessness will involve a loss of energy to these planets, bringing the unconventional and creative urge to revolutionize certain aspects of life down into the depressing “real world,” — limitation, bureaucratic and hierarchical social orders put a hold on your humanistic ideals. In other words, you lose the energy to be rebellious against the larger institutional frameworks that pressure you to conformity. Some dreams are just dreams until we pressure test it with reality.
