Uranus in the Signs
Where is Uranus placed by zodiacal sign in your birth chart? Learn what Uranus, the planet of innovation, means when posited in the different signs of the zodiac.
Don’t know your Uranus sign? You’ll find instructions below the interpretations for finding out how to determine the sign position of your natal Uranus.
Note that Uranus spends many years–approximately 7 years–in the same sign, and is thus considered a generational influence. It’s not a personal influence, but if Uranus is aligned with a personal planet or luminary, such as the Sun or Moon, Mercury, Venus, or Mars, or is conjunct an angle (the Ascendant, IC, DSC, or MC) the interpretation is far more relevant.
A note about the dates given below: if a birth date in question falls on any of the cutoff dates, you will need to use a natal chart calculator and know the time of birth to determine the sign of Uranus. You can also use our tables that include times in ET.
The following interpretations refer to the planets’ signs in the natal chart. Naturally, it’s best to keep in mind that interpretations are exactly that–interpretations. It’s a good idea to look for different authors’ takes on these astrological factors to see which ones vibe best with you.

You’re most interested in making changes, innovating, and updating traditions related to independence, personal freedom, new horizons, self-motivation, assertion, initiative, and personal responsibility. In or through these areas, you seek more freedom, and you don’t feel the need to conform. You may believe in breaking through some of the inhibitions or taboos related to boldly pursuing one’s desires. Despite the need for progress, you can be very stubborn and set in your ways in these areas. You may challenge established thought on these lines if you feel it limits progress or unnecessarily restricts the individual.
Since you greatly value the ability to work from a hunch or sudden spark of intuition, rote learning and routine work are not ideal. You are a true pioneer, ready to start fresh with much courage. As such, you prize progress and invention. While you have wonderful flashes of intuition, it can be challenging to follow through on many projects since most of your joy is found in the pioneering process–much less so in the implementation part! Watch, too, for impatience that can serve to limit the very freedom you so crave.
