Uranus in Depth
Uranus takes 7 years to traverse a sign, and 84 to complete a cycle. Its energy is dynamic, bringing rapid change into our lives, which can be exciting, uncontrolled, or disastrous, but never boring.
Uranus was discovered in 1781 as the world was embarking on its most radical phase, with revolutions taking place in Europe and America. This planet is the energy that represents sudden change and rebellion. Uranus is associated with the principles of individuality, genius, discoveries, new and unconventional ideas, electricity and inventions.
Uranians are the risk-takers with the courage to shake society with radically different views; and they are often seen as eccentric outsiders. Those with an excess of Uranus are chaotic and inflexible, which may lead to them being rejected by society.
