We have been discussing Saturn and Uranus and how it portrays the manner in which we move out from ourselves and direct social partnerships into a more expansive community and world environment -- and how the pressures and exposure to others brings changes into our personal growth cycles.
In this posting I want to consider Uranus itself as it moves thru our individual chart relative to its own natal position and relative to the other large planet cycles implied within the chart. In order to do this we have to first look at our own chart and determine Uranus' aspectual relationship to Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and (yes) Pluto, as well as that most central of all astrological bodies, the Sun.
It will take several postings to cover all of this, but I want to invite discussion at any point on any of the posts within this thread. Meanwhile, the Planets-between-Partners series will continue.
SUN and URANUS THRU THEIR HOUSE EXPRESSION:
One way to look at Uranus' role in our chart is to, perhaps, consider the house positions of each body. We can play with this concept, and also consider the Sun (no matter where it is) as being in the first house and then counting the houses until we reach Uranus -- getting a speculative "derived" house. Lets play the game and see what we get.
I have a 4th house Sun, home and personal beliefs and values are important to me. I have a 11th house Uranus, I am attracted to friends who have their own unusual (to me) beliefs and individualistic traits as well as opportunities that bring change into my life. From the perspective of the Sun's position, Uranus is in a derived 8th house, suggesting that I look for what others can bring into our relationship that causes me to change and share in ways that require a lot of give and take. (NOTE: for those following the Partner series, the Sun-Saturn relationship, compare this statement with my observation about my Saturn squaring the wife's Sun -- this explains that).
TRANSITING URANUS RELATIVE TO NATAL SUN:
Once we have considered Sun and Uranus in the natal chart, we can look at how transiting Uranus may be affecting or changing our expression of our Sun (identity, direction, will, health, etc.). Uranus is now in Pisces, my 10th house area, and opposing my Sun (broadly). Change in my status has occured -- I'm now retired. Change in my focus has occured -- I'm now more deeply into the tarot and wood carving, plus we are changing our lifestyle to suit our age and responsibilities relative to teenage grandchildren that we are raising.
SUMMARY TO THIS POINT:
First, we can look at our Sun and our Uranus by natal house position and synthesize their meaning.
Second, we can treat the Sun as being in a first house position and then look at the relative or derived house position of Uranus and then create a statement that expresses this other way that Uranus can manifest in our life.
Third, we can look at transiting Uranus to see what house it is in and blend that with our basic Sun's expression.
In doing this we can create a view or a "slice" thru our life that shows the nature of the changes we seek and most easily respond to. Its an interesting exercise. Dave.
