Sun parallel Uranus
When the Sun is parallel Uranus in the Natal Chart
The Sun parallel to Uranus in your birth chart adds a distinct layer of Uranus to your personality. Uranus can be many things. Most notably, Uranus is original, unique, rebellious, or a chaos agent, and some or all of these describe you.
If this aspect occurs along with the Sun conjunct Uranus, you are more obviously a rebel or contrarian. You don’t follow all the rules, preferring to live by your intuition and instincts and think for yourself, forging your own path.
These qualities are also present if the Sun doesn’t also conjunct Uranus, but you are not so much rebellious as you are attuned to unusual callings. You’re open to doing things that aren’t especially traditional or expected.
Either way, people prize you for your entirely original point of view and readiness to entertain different possibilities and methods.

What is a parallel?
Planets with the same or near-same declination are parallel to each other. Astrologers usually apply an orb or allowance of 1 degree for the parallel and contra-parallel. While a conjunction is an alignment in zodiacal longitude, the parallel is an alignment in the positions North or South of the celestial equator.
An example declination value is 8 N 23, or 4 S 54. A declination of zero degrees means the body is on the celestial equator.
For instance, if the Sun is at 12 S 31 and Uranus is at 13 S 07, they are said to be parallel, as they are within a 1-degree orb of alignment. Parallels occur between planets and points that are both North or both South and within a degree from one another. If, in this example, Uranus were instead at 13 N 07, the Sun and Uranus would be considered contra-parallel.
Note that the parallel often accompanies the conjunction, strengthening the combination greatly. However, it also occurs in the absence of the conjunction and can be thus a somewhat hidden influence when assessing a chart, but once discovered, its influence is usually undeniable.
Interpreting a parallel versus a conjunction: Both aspects represent a joining of forces of the energies of the planets or points in alignment. However, while the conjunction is a blend, the parallel is more of a partnership.
Alternate interpretation:
You are not content with an ordinary life. Something in you is always “stirring the pot” so to speak. You believe that life can be better and you will do something to get this point across to others while also doing something to tangibly improve your own circumstances. Sometimes you need to learn to leave “well enough alone ” as your constant fussing can create difficulties. Still, your originality and spontaneousness give color and accomplishment to your life.
