Uranus Transits
Uranus Transits: Predictive Astrology – Techniques for Predicting the Future
Back to Predictive Astrology Main Page
Overview:
Uranus takes approximately 84 years to come full circle. This slow-moving planet’s transits are long-lasting, and each transit takes its time to unfold. As Uranus transits a point in our chart, retrogrades back over it, and then hits it again in direct motion, it imparts its own special wisdom upon the point in question–the areas of lives and parts of our psyches ruled by that point.
How Uranus affects our lives depends very much on whether we resist its influences or we try to work with the planet of independence, liberation, and enlightenment. While Saturn slows down our inner clock in order to persuade us to face reality, Uranus speeds up our tempo in order for us to consider taking risks and making changes.
Whichever part of our lives and of our psyches that Uranus touches, especially by hard transit, is an area where we begin to feel restless and dissatisfied with any routine or “status quo” connected to it. Our consciousness regarding these parts of ourselves and our lives is accelerated to the point that others might consider our actions (and reactions) hasty or rebellious. If mishandled, we may act in inconsiderate and brusque ways.
Transiting Uranus acts to disrupt, change, and re-do whatever it touches. Uranus frees us from thinking inside the box and offers us opportunities for reaching out and trying something completely new.
While Saturn slows us down, Uranus speeds up our lives, offering us chances to take some risks and to experiment with totally new ways of living and interacting with others and our environment. Uranus is forward-looking and does not have patience with lifestyles or attitudes that are attached to the past or the traditional.
Transiting Uranus shakes us up and offers us a chance to be more aware of our individuality. Uranus doesn’t accept stagnation nor does it accept restriction. Personal freedom is highlighted. Transiting Uranus acts to awaken and to make us aware of our feelings of being restricted and constricted. Uranus surprises, jolts, and stimulates.
The following are interpretations of Uranus’s transits to planets and points. Note that alternate meanings are indicated by a * and +, and are offered here for the student of astrology wishing to expand his or her knowledge with different perspectives of each transit.
Uranus-Sun Transits
Uranus transits to the Sun are highly significant transits that act to alter your overall personality and consciousness. Your individuality becomes the focus. You learn more about yourself and might disrupt your life path in order to express this fact. Your will is called to the fore, and you may express yourself in a defiant manner. Patterns of behavior that worked for you in the past are questioned, and change is in order. You become rather intolerant of restrictions on your self-expression.
Look for Leo in your natal chart, as the Sun rules Leo, and this is an area of life that will be directly affected by the transit (in addition to the house where the transit actually takes place).
Uranus transits conjunct Sun
This is a time of “finding yourself”–when you begin to feel uncomfortable with your current life path and behavior patterns. Your ego awakens, and you feel compelled to express yourself in unique and perhaps unusual or unconventional ways.
With your increased openness to all that is new and different, you may encounter opportunities that appear to come out of the blue. The routine begins to bore you, and your current responsibilities may seem overwhelming.
Your consciousness expands to the point where you are receptive to new ways of thinking and living patterns. You may begin a significant relationship with a male, and this association leads you into undiscovered territory or a meaningful break from your past.
This can be an exciting period of your life that is filled with change and stimulation. You might begin or end relationships, start a new career path, or move to a new location. Side Note: You’ll find more clues to the nature of the potential changes in the condition of the Sun in the natal chart–its house position, aspects, and the areas of the chart that it rules.
Arming yourself with the awareness that you may be over-confident and hasty in your decisions is essential for the best handling of this transit. You need to be aware of the strong possibility that you are rebelling and reacting rather than listening to your heart. Open yourself to the fact that something must change rather than resisting or fearing it. Resistance will only attract circumstances that leave you feeling out of control.
*Freedom, independence, and individuality are the key issues for this time period. You find it extremely difficult to continue in a daily activity that is tedious, boring, or simply unexciting.
+A time of real breakthroughs, when insights into your Self and your ambitions will be possible. This is a time when authority figures and older people may figure in your life. The discovery of a teacher or vision of the future is possible.
Uranus transits sextile Sun
Transiting Uranus forming a sextile with your natal Sun provides a subtle boost in your sense of freedom. Your personality is lighter as this transit encourages you to express yourself more spontaneously. If you’ve limited yourself due to shyness or timidity, this transit helps bring you out of your shell. It can connect you with opportunities that open you up to different experiences and paths. People more readily see and appreciate your more unique qualities. New activities or openness to expressing yourself in new ways, such as through dance, creative pursuits, games, or sports, can be in the spotlight. It’s easier to drop some of your inhibitions at this time.
Uranus transits square Sun
When transiting Uranus forms a square to natal Sun, inner changes and struggles can occur quite dramatically, and if the outer world and the people around you are not changing along with you (which is more than likely!), you could feel extremely restless and tied down.
Responsibilities that you readily accepted in the past now begin to feel overwhelming. You are likely questioning your life as it has been, and wondering if there is a whole lot more for you “somewhere out there.” Others notice your changes, perhaps because you’re acting out or more abrupt and impatient, and you could alienate a few people in the process.
In your attempts to make changes in your life and to rid yourself of limiting conditions, you are prone to making hasty decisions and leaving behind circumstances, jobs, or people that you might one day miss. Watch for this, but do answer a call for reform, updates, and improvements.
Remember that the changes going on inside you are rapid and seem very pressing now, but you might later look back on this period of your life as a time when you didn’t truly listen to your heart. It would be wise to defer major decision-making to a more opportune time. At the moment, you could be listening to a bruised ego.
Sometimes, changes seem to be coming from the outside, but are a reflection of your own inner discontent with the routines and responsibilities in your life. Often, this transit coincides with a break-up or separation, either one that seems forced upon you or one that you hastily initiate. Impatience with existing conditions and responsibilities in your life, whether they involve a job, relationship, family life, etc., characterizes this period.
The desire to express yourself more freely is strong, and it’s real. The advice here is to avoid expecting everyone and everything around you to change along with you. Recognize that your urge to rebel comes from a desire for more freedom and self-expression, and find ways to express yourself and your freedom that don’t completely upset the things you have worked hard on building to date.
Also, recognize that as you listen to a bruised or misbehaving ego, you are prone to ignoring your deepest emotions, and as a result, you may sever ties that later leave you wanting. It is especially important to be aware of the possibility of this oversight. This can be a time when you’re challenged on your principles. Aim to make mindful changes with an eye for improvement rather than reactive, impulsive ones.
Uranus transits trine Sun
A time during which you may be able to break through and move ahead with your ambitions and general life’s purpose. You could receive unexpected help from someone older or from authority figures. A man or teacher could appear.
A spirit of openness, curiosity, and “divine discontent” moves through you in this time, and the forces around and within you are less resistant to change. If you have been trying to free yourself of some old, limiting, debilitating habit or to garner the courage to create, experiment, or plunge into new territory, now is the time. You may branch out in an entirely new direction. If you are involved in work that is creative, innovative, unusual, or unconventional, you experience an influx of inspiration as well as support for what you are doing.
Positive Potentials:
Beneficial synchronistic events which lead to unexpected opportunities. Revitalizing your creative life.
Negative Potentials:
There is little that could be negative or difficult now, other than allowing inertia or conservatism to prevent you from taking the opportunities presented to you.
Remedies and Suggestions:
Consider all alternative, unusual, or nontraditional possibilities that are presented to you now. Solve old problems in a new way. Act on hunches, inner nudges or inklings, or information you get from “unofficial sources”. — From our Time Line Forecast Report.

Responsibilities that you readily accepted in the past now begin to feel overwhelming. You are likely questioning your life as it has been, and wondering if there is a whole lot more for you “somewhere out there.” Others notice your changes and you could alienate a few people in the process.
There is an expression that applies here: “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.” In your attempts to make changes in your life, and to rid yourself of limiting conditions, you are prone to making hasty decisions and leaving behind circumstances, jobs, or people that you might one day miss.
Remember that the changes going on inside you are rapid and seem very pressing now, but later you might look back on this period of your life as a time when you didn’t truly listen to your heart. It would be wise to leave major decision making to a better period. At the moment, you are not listening to your heart, but rather you are listening to a bruised ego.
Sometimes, changes seem to be coming from the outside but are usually a reflection of your own inner discontent with the routines and responsibilities in your life. Often, this transit coincides with a break-up or separation, either one that seems forced upon you or one that you hastily initiate. Impatience with existing conditions and responsibilities in your life, whether they are a job, relationship, family life, or what have you, characterizes this period.

Recognize that your urge to rebel comes from a desire for more freedom and self-expression, and find ways to express yourself and your freedom that don’t completely upset the things you have worked hard on building to date.
Also recognize that as you listen to a bruised or misbehaving ego, you are prone to ignoring your deepest emotions, and as a result, you may sever ties that later leave you wanting. It is especially important to be aware of this “blind spot.”
Uranus-Moon Transits
Uranus transits to the Moon directly affect the feelings, the public image, and personal popularity. Other people and things affected by Uranus are the mother, important women in the native’s life, domestic life, and the home.
What does the Moon rule in your chart? Look to the house(s) of your natal chart with Cancer on the cusp for areas of your life where Uranus is acting to awaken. Look to planets in Cancer in your chart to see other parts of your personality that Uranus is now infusing with the urge to break out of existing routines.
Uranus transits conjunct Moon
Transiting Uranus conjunct natal Moon can stir sudden changes in your emotional outlook, domestic world, core relationships, or living arrangements/conditions. Disrupted sleep, living, eating, or relating patterns can be in the spotlight now. New directions are in store. It’s a time of breaking from habits, routines, and attachments as you seek or unexpectedly gain more emotional freedom.
In the meantime, you may experience moodiness, emotional reactions, acting on impulse, and changes in temperament as you adapt to a new lifestyle. It’s important to watch for sudden whims, cravings, and infatuations, as there can be a temptation to throw everything away to follow them now. With some moderation and mindfulness, this can be a period of more emotional wakefulness and improved living conditions.
Uranus transits sextile Moon
Transiting Uranus sextile your natal Moon can inspire you to change and improve your habits, home life, and the expression of your feelings. New channels for expressing your emotions can open up, and opportunities to enhance your life seem to arise during this transit. It can be a time of new relationships or enhanced connections, largely due to a greater openness to stepping even just a little bit out of your usual routine. More freedom or spontaneity is likely in your domestic world at this time. Living arrangements and conditions, eating and sleeping habits, and family relationships may undergo an update.
You can feel emotionally freer and lighter, which has a subtle yet noticeable impact on your life.
Uranus transits square Moon
Transiting Uranus forming a square to your Moon points to changes or temporary instability in your personal life, marking a period of flux and the need for an update or refresh. Your inner world, domestic life, and family relationships are in stronger focus. Changes and disruptions to your living arrangements or conditions, sleeping and eating habits, family relationships, and emotional expression are possible.
Because you could be viewing your life through a more impatient or bored lens temporarily, the challenge will be to recognize those things that are truly important to you. The temptation to jump into or out of something can be strong now, but try not to act on a complete whim. Still, you can be braver now about making changes to those things that are truly outdated, overly burdensome, and not contributing to your growth. It can be a time of repairs or moves. However, it’s not an ideal time for major purchases, as your tastes and tolerances are different than usual.
Watch for temperamentality, impatience, undue stress, nervousness, and aim for special attention to good routines with eating, nutrition, and sleep hygiene.
~The urge to “express yourself” takes hold; and since expressing yourself generally means doing something you aren’t supposed to do, this is likely to be a period of strange behavior. You tend to kick over the traces and run wild with whatever ideas you have been suppressing up until now. You can see your complexes and your subconscious in the cold light of day if you are sufficiently in possession of yourself to look for them.
Use self-control here to direct your energies into some useful channel: remember that “being yourself’ is important only when the “self” you are being is worth the effort. To be, or become, your best self as a result of this transit is to harness your magnetism, your originality, and your creative talents for all time. To run wild is to accumulate a fine crop of wild oats to be mowed down and carted away later.
*Impatience, sudden outbursts of emotions, and the need to break free from stifling, uncomfortable situations are key issues now. During this time period, you periodically become overwhelmed with the feeling that you need to make changes and make them NOW.
+An urge to change and try new things may challenge and upset your domestic scene or support system. In this case, your tendency to rebel acts at cross-purposes to those who care for you. A no-win situation that requires treading a fine line on your part.
Uranus transits trine Moon
Transiting Uranus, forming a trine with your natal Moon, can excite your senses and lead to feelings of emotional refreshment. You’re more interested in expressing your feelings and experiencing new things, and life seems to speed up, or you detach yourself just enough to drop some of your inhibitions related to expressing your inner world. There can be enjoyable and stimulating changes in your domestic life, including living conditions, personal habits, and living arrangements.
Breakthroughs in your relationships with loved ones, especially with women, can be in the spotlight. Eliminating habits that no longer serve you well can be rewarding — freeing yourself from some aspects of your past is the theme. You’re more in tune with your intuition and more inclined to follow it. Household improvements, updates, and upgrades can be part of the picture during this cycle.
*You are more spontaneous, free, and uninhibited in your expression of feelings now. Your sense of humor is very good, and you can expect a lot of good times, laughter, and joking throughout this period.
+You could receive unexpected help or support from those around you especially someone younger or a woman. A time when you may get insights into your living situation or support system. New ideas about your past history, new approaches to established facts.
Uranus transits opposite Moon
Transiting Uranus in opposition to your natal Moon awakens the need for new ways of approaching your inner world, emotions, home life, family, and core relationships. With the opposition, there can be initial agitation and disruptions to your personal life, as things seem to need to change. Breaks in routines, unpredictable feelings and experiences, erratic or unreliable people or systems that used to comfort you, and inner discontent can be themes.
Ultimately, new directions and innovations or improvements can emerge from this chaos. In the meantime, you can experience quite a bit of temperamentality, or you can feel a strong need for more independence if you feel hemmed in. A new relationship, especially with a female, that jolts you out your routine, or a changing relationship can also figure strongly during this transit.
Changes or unusual/erratic experiences with women, family, or children are possible, as well as with home, food, or domestic matters. This sometimes coincides with moving or dramatically different living conditions or arrangements. Different domestic routines can be in the spotlight. It’s certainly a time to examine which comfortable routines could use an update for you to advance a little freer, more awakened, and with more authenticity. Liberation can be exciting but stressful, so be sure to take steps to reduce stress and, as much as possible, prioritize rest and replenishment.

To run wild is to accumulate a fine crop of wild oats to be mowed down and carted away later.
*Any relationships that you are involved in that have strong dominance-passivity themes or are stifling and restrictive to either one of you, are likely to explode now. Even relatively minor constraints and expectations made of each other can become a source of tension now.
+A (perhaps) difficult time when you could find yourself feeling rebellious and independent regarding your current situation or surroundings. Your erratic behavior could bring you in opposition to a group or younger person or just strain relationships.
Uranus-Mercury Transits
Uranus transits to Mercury directly affect your curiosity, learning, communication skills, self-promotion, the formulation of ideas, and your ability to rationalize and think logically.
What does Mercury rule in your chart? Look to the houses of your natal chart with Gemini and Virgo on the cusp for areas of your life where Uranus is acting to awaken.

Because you’re so open to new mental directions, you’re quick to understand things. You can be more prolific with writing, although you may tire quickly of a subject, particularly once it becomes monotonous.
Rote learning can be less appealing. You can experience more cooperation or forward-looking attitudes with siblings, friends, young people in your life, and even neighbors. A breakthrough in communication with someone could figure strongly.
*You are mentally alert, sharp, and on your toes during this time period. You will perform superbly in a debate or other mental task that requires quick thinking, fast response, and fluent expression of ideas. Writing comes easily now, so if you have some writing you need to do, now is a good time to do it.

Uranus transits square Mercury
With Uranus transiting square to your natal Mercury, you can experience disruptions to your daily routines, studies, personal interests, transportation, neighborhood, or communications. Monotonous or outdated elements of these areas of your life can be harder to take. Changing conditions can lead you to different methods and ideas that ultimately work for you, but it can also be a tense, chaotic, and stressful period at times. It’s not an ideal time to be understood. In fact, there can be distinct differences with friends, siblings, and even neighbors during this period.
Temporarily, people are not readily seeing eye to eye with you. You can be attracted to unusual and alternative projects, ideas, and topics. Agreements may be reversed, ties severed, and plans turned on their head. Circumstances can be such that you realize you need to update your skills. You should watch for impulsive, impatient moves, especially communications. Ultimately, you can experience a sense of liberation if you’ve left behind situations that kept you stagnating.
*Be extremely careful in all practical affairs at this time. You tend to overlook details, forget to consider some aspect of a problem, and make silly mistakes. Forgetfulness can be a serious problem.
+A tendency to act suddenly, without thought or consideration. A lot of mental tension or worry stemming from a rebellion against ideas, the way you think and communicate. An urge to break out of old mental patterns that could be destructive.

You’re not as meticulous or inhibited when expressing yourself, and you have more courage to connect and communicate during this cycle.
New developments in your life regarding modes of transportation, communication, methods, technology, and skills can open up new experiences, paths, and worlds for you. Changes in your relationships with siblings, classmates, or neighbors can be in the spotlight. Information or studies can send you along an exciting path.

It can be a time of unusual changes, news, or disruptions, especially with studies, transits, and everyday affairs. These tangents may lead you to improved systems and circumstances. Still, this period can be hard on your nerves. As such, it’s a good idea to prioritize moments to detox and de-stress.
People can be unreliable in your life, which can lead to some chaos or disruptions to your plans. Changes or unusual/erratic experiences with neighbors, classmates, young people, and siblings are possible, as well as with vehicles (transportation), communication devices, or your neighborhood. It can be a time marked by mental agitation, restlessness, arguments, impulsiveness (especially with communicating), tension, and discontent. However, with self-control and self-discipline, it can lead to innovative new methods, interests, projects, studies, and ideas.
*The tempo of your life is very fast at this time. If you live in an urban area or are involved in activities that are fast-paced and dynamic, then this time period may become too intense for you.
+You could be under considerable mental tension or feel hemmed in by an overly conservative mental atmosphere. You may feel compelled to change your mind now and have new thoughts and forms of expression. Bucking other people’s ideas may be in order.
Uranus-Venus Transits
Uranus transits to Venus stimulate your desires to share pleasures with significant others and with friends in perhaps unusual or especially sensitive ways. They urge you to find new meaning in your life through leisure activities and/or romance. These transits also affect your urge to acquire new material goods as well as your finances in general.

Uranus transits conjunct Venus
Transiting Uranus conjunct natal Venus stirs matters up with your relationships, tastes, and value system. It’s possible that outdated or routine elements of your pleasurable activities, world of entertainment and leisure, or love life feel glaringly dull to you at this time. You may not even recognize the need for updates in these areas, but events now seem to enforce change.
New directions or new beginnings are in order now, particularly related to partnerships, alliances, love, money matters (especially discretionary income), and pleasure-seeking or leisure pursuits. Unexpected or abrupt endings or beginnings are possible during this transit. More independence or freedom becomes a big theme in these areas. People or relationships can be unpredictable or unreliable, as Uranus is erratic. Uranus also demands authenticity and individuality, and you might experience this energy in your own personality or in a partner. Going through the motions no longer works in your life–something has to change.
At this time, you’re attracted to (or you attract to you) people, activities, and situations that are unusual, nontraditional, and unpredictable. You might suddenly feel the urge to change your look or style. Desires that you never knew you had or that you buried or pushed inside yourself can now emerge–you can feel braver about expressing and especially enjoying yourself. It can certainly be a time when you chase infatuations, however, which is something you might want to watch for if the stakes are high.
Uranus transits sextile Venus
Transiting Uranus forming a sextile with natal Venus can open you to new people and experiences as you explore and expand your tastes and interests. Your intuition heightens, and you might tune in to new and even unusual pleasures, activities, and even a relationship or group connection. Your pastimes and relationships require more room and space for spontaneity and a sense of freedom. The monotonous elements of your life stand out, particularly when it comes to love, pleasure, money, and entertainment choices, and you may want to shake things up a little. You’re freeing yourself of some inhibitions and detaching yourself just enough to enjoy yourself, experiment, or explore more options.
*This is a very pleasant period of your life, with many enjoyable social gatherings, entertainments, parties, and festivities. You find it much easier than usual to smile and extend good will towards others.
+A time during which you discover new and different reasons or ways to enjoy and appreciate life. A kind of mini-revolution may find you altering your value system, allowing you to like new things. A new approach to love and compassion.
Uranus transits square Venus
A strong streak of independence can overcome you during this time, upsetting the status quo in your life, and particularly in your relationships. What you previously valued may no longer “do it” for you. You have far less tolerance for limiting, confining, and restrictive circumstances and people. Positively, you now have the courage to make some needed changes in your life. You can be creatively inspired and your experiments in creativity and self-expression can open up possibilities.
Watch, however, for overly rebellious behavior and insensitivity towards others. Sometimes this energy is experienced in such a way that changes in a relationship seem forced upon you (especially with the opposition). Keep in mind that you cannot force anyone to do anything, and it’s better to give others freedom if they are looking for it.
*Upsets and change in your love relationships is the key issue now. A shift in your romantic and sexual energies at this time causes changes in love relationships.
+Your value system may receive a challenge from a new independent streak that wants to break away and try new things. You may not appreciate the urge to upset and change things that is trying to assert itself. This leads to tension.

This period opens up a world of new possibilities, encouraging you to be more open-minded and curious. You can gravitate to those things and people that are out of the ordinary or not your usual type. People and situations can take you by surprise, often in pleasant ways.
It’s a time of a stronger need for independence, freedom, spontaneity, and excitement, especially in your relationships and social life. Money matters can also be affected, as your tastes are different, veering away from your usual fare, and you could view money differently as a result. This shift in perspective could lead to a positive change in your financial situation, potentially granting you more freedoms or allowing you to explore and discover new things.
You can be highly attractive during this period, as there’s a spring in your step or a sparkle in your eye. You feel younger or less inhibited. New hobbies, romantic connections or opportunities, musical interests, social connections, group associations, and friendships are all possibilities during this period.

Uranus-Mars Transits
Uranus transits to Mars affect your drive and desire nature, strength, as well as your ability to assert yourself.
What does Mars rule in your chart? Look to the houses of your natal chart with Aries (and Scorpio) on the cusp for areas of your life where Uranus is acting to awaken. Look to planets in Aries (and Scorpio) in your chart to see other parts of your personality that Uranus is now infusing with the urge to break out of existing routines.
Uranus transits conjunct Mars
With transiting Uranus conjunct your natal Mars, you can be inspired or nudged to try new things on physical levels. Mars defines your energy levels, ability to assert yourself, and your desire nature, and with Uranus activating Mars now, you’re trying new things. This influence can feel erratic, abrupt, and disruptive at times, but it’s also a period of experimentation and new directions. There can be sudden events and changes that necessitate taking different paths. Anger can emerge unexpectedly, and so can urges or whims. While changes can be beneficial, it’s best to exercise moderation and caution rather than following sudden desires indiscriminately.
This transit can stir quite a bit of restlessness, boredom with routine, and impatience with rules and rigid or monotonous conditions. New directions with your sexuality can be in the spotlight. You might also or instead connect with a rather sudden desire to enjoy new experiences. You now crave more room and space for spontaneity.
Relationships with males, especially, can undergo sudden, unforeseen changes, or a new relationship can occur seemingly out of the blue. While this transit can be confusing initially, and you may find yourself acting out, extremely impatient, temperamental, rebellious, or on edge, with some time and exploration, it can be a period of breakthroughs.
*You are very impatient, energetic, obstinate, and self-willed during this time period. Even if there is no specific deadline for a task, you work as if it must be completed with lightning speed. You love physical activity and adventure now. For example, if you vacation at this time, sky diving or white water rafting would suit you much better than lying on the beach!
+You may find that you have intuitive and psychic abilities that have never surfaced before. An urge may exist to be more devoted to high ideals and to making your dreams real. You may feel emotions of a religious nature. Don’t get carried away.

When transiting Uranus forms a sextile with natal Mars, you can come across new opportunities to advance your projects, improve physical fitness, enjoy stimulating or adventurous activities, boost your sex life, or assert yourself. You’re more direct, spontaneous, and active during this uplifting transit. Confidence in the physical side of your life (such as body confidence) and in your desires can be in the spotlight, and it can work in your favor. You have a healthy sense of entitlement and a renewed feeling of agency. It can be easier and more natural to express and pursue your desires. You crave more freedom and independence at this time.

Uranus transits square Mars
Passions and anger that you may not even know you had emerge during this transit. They do come from somewhere, from deep within you, but Uranus awakens them in such a dramatic manner that it can be hard to identify with them at first.
Uranus urges us to let go and express ourselves in the areas of life it touches. Mars rules our anger, assertion, sexuality–essentially our desire nature. With a transiting square from Uranus to Mars, we suddenly seem to need to get things off our chest, whether we want to or not. All of that anger “slush” that has been accumulating inside you surfaces at this time. You begin to assert your independence, sometimes in ways that seem alarming to those around you. It might help people who don’t normally assert themselves, although it can seem alarming at first, and because of the abrupt nature of this transit, it can initially feel erratic or choppy.
Additionally, this apparently sudden personality change can alienate a few people, especially if you act like there are no consequences. You experience spurts of energy, and your productivity or output can be inconsistent. This temperamentality is most apparent at the beginning of this transit.
Although accidents are certainly not a “given” with this transit, they are more likely than usual, especially if your activities and your energy levels are erratic. You may experience an “awakening” of sorts with regard to sexuality. This can be quite positive, but take care not to be too impulsive or insensitive with those you care about as you express your newfound desires.
*Periodic fits of restlessness and impatience overcome you throughout this period, and others will wonder what is disturbing you. You are very demanding and difficult to please now. You tend to feel like progress is too slow, and you are tired of waiting for the things you want.
+A possibly explosive time during which a rebellious urge within you presents an emotional challenge. You may have to resist attempts to divert your drive and energy in directions that will take you nowhere. A lot of heavy energy.
Uranus transits trine Mars
With transiting Uranus trine natal Mars, you’re tuning in to different or unusual desires, and you’re attracted to new activities and endeavors. You can feel a little freer, braver, less inhibited, and more open to experiencing different things.
You’re intrigued by new activities and experiences, and you may feel a little braver about trying new things. It’s a great time for boosting body confidence. You’re seeking, and probably finding, more stimulation and spontaneity in your pursuits and relationships. Opportunities can open up for interesting advances through new technology or channels that were previously unknown or unavailable. Previous inhibitions related to your self-esteem, body, energy, and self-expression are likely to drop away, allowing you to be more assertive and adventurous. You could find that your energy levels increase along with your motivation and interest.
*With confidence and courage, you assert yourself boldly. You energetically accomplish a great deal during this time period. Your energy level is much higher than usual, and you can work for long hours without fatigue. You will find yourself up late into the night, without getting sleepy.
+A time during which you are unusually motivated or driven in new and unexpected directions. You could receive unexpected backing and, in general, your efforts are successful and reach new heights of originality. New and unexpected emotions may come up.
Uranus transits opposite Mars
With transiting Uranus opposite natal Mars, life seems to speed up a little, and your desire nature activates suddenly. You no longer want to wait for things to go your way; instead, you want to take control and make things happen. However, you can be short on patience during this transit.
There can be a dominating, brutish, or pushy person in your orbit that you now must manage, or you face situations that leave you feeling restless or limited. Intense interactions are possible now. You want more freedom and space to do as you please. Watch for a tendency to take risks that you wouldn’t normally even entertain. Ascertain whether your impulses are extreme, but consider that pushing your boundaries a little may be what you need.
Circumstances emerging during this period seem to highlight areas that need improvement, particularly in how you pursue your desires, express your anger, or assert yourself. This transit acts as an agitator, and it’s best to watch for impulsive, frustrated moves and reactions. Healthy, constructive physical releases can be helpful while prioritizing safety. Stress management is also important now.
*Courageous and undaunted, you step boldly forth, assert yourself, and charge ahead. If you are normally shy and receding, you will burst out of your shell now. If you are a strong and aggressive person, then you will try to take full command of every aspect of your life, and force weaker personalities to submit to you and support you.
+Unexpected behavior and an urge to be independent could find you ignoring your feelings and much of what has motivated you up to now, taking you off in a different direction. Your unusual behavior could provoke others, cause emotional confrontation.

Uranus Transits Opposite Pluto
With transiting Uranus in opposition to natal Pluto, you experience a quite sudden desire to live your life more authentically, particularly regarding your attachments and the things you’ve kept to yourself. Watch for impatient, abrupt, and impulsive moves in this regard, as your intolerance of situations that have held you back can come on so suddenly that you feel the need to make drastic moves. There can be changes to your previous sources of feeling empowered, and now is a time for a new direction. Certainly, it can be an unnerving period at times as you’re confronting previously buried elements of your nature, memories, desires, and ambitions.
Uranus-Chiron Transits
When transiting Uranus transits in aspect to natal Chiron, it can be a time of increased awareness, signaling an awakening of sorts. You can be highly intuitive, or you begin to trust your intuition, and you can have a sudden or increased interest in healing and wellness, perhaps as a means to not only improve your health, but also to live a freer life.
With the easier aspects (the sextile and trine), these lessons and developments seem to come more smoothly. The hard aspects, such as the conjunction, square, and opposition, can suggest more dramatic or abrupt and perhaps disruptive experiences. People in your life may not approve, and conflicts can ensue, for example. You should watch for rebellious behavior. Otherwise, these transits can make you aware of a need to move on and heal from old emotional wounds, and while you shouldn’t approach this mission with impatience, it’s a worthy one.

It’s essential to check in with yourself — are you answering to your true instincts or simply reacting to circumstances? Regrettable decisions can result from the latter. Remind yourself that rebelling against others is not true independence, as it means living in response to them, whereas following your own code and inner instincts is.

A general description of transiting Uranus – excerpt from the Sky Log report:
“The planet Uranus is presently stirring the pot of your life, and that always promises a tumultuous passage, peppered with unexpected developments and encounters. Outwardly, Uranus is the wild card, bringing unpredictable and unforeseen events into the picture. Inwardly, it signals a time of accelerated individuation…that is, a time in which who you really are and what you truly want are rapidly emerging and defining themselves.
A portion of what you imagined to be your identity has, in fact, little to do with you; it is a side-effect of your social training, nothing more. And, like training wheels on a kid’s bike, you are now ready to dump it. This has an unsettling effect upon not only yourself, but also those around you.
Often during Uranian periods there is a distinct “changing of the guard” in our social circles; old relationships end, new ones appear. Claim your right to be yourself — that’s the essence of the transiting Uranus. Whatever it touches, changes. Trust the changes! Like a hard wind blowing the sand off a buried city, they are revealing who you actually have been all along. That’s Uranus in general.”
