Uranus: Shock to the System

tumblr_nfai56WsVr1rah2jlo1_500

Uranus is known as the “planet of shocks,” “planet of sudden surprises,” and “planet of the unexpected.” It is typically around at the time when events take place that are totally unforeseen, resulting in the instantaneous release of energy that causes shock waves to radiate in all directions. Additionally, the planet is there during times when the normal pace of life seems to quicken. Uranus is like a bolt of lightning, bringing with it a sudden realisation of oneself, a wealth of information, and an outpouring of creative energy. It has the potential to break through an individual’s sense of safety and security, so opening up the personality in new ways. Uranus’s passage through our horoscope forces us to become more receptive to the introduction of new things into our lives, and we don’t always have a say in the matter.

The shocking, the unforeseen, and the abruptly violent all answer to the electric blue planet. It is believed that the famous Uranian flashes that astrologers talk about convey light from heaven down to earth, so dispelling the darkness that exists here. Uranus destroys the foundations that were previously established in our lives; its effects can be rapid, blinding, and also transformative. We will all, at some point in our lives, encounter unanticipated occurrences, which may or may not be for the better. The Uranian experience may appear to bring disorder and cause mayhem, but it also provides a shift in perspective, which is one of the keys to comprehending the motivations behind it.

There is change that accompanies any shift, and then there is a transition to whatever has transpired in our lives. After a sudden shift in circumstances or the occurrence of an unexpected incident, a person may experience a wide range of feelings that are foreign to them. When everything in our lives changes under the influence of the planet Uranus, there are usually very few signposts to follow, and we often find ourselves in uncharted terrain. It has the potential to make us feel alien and out of place, making it difficult for us to establish an anchor within that unstable environment.

The great mover and shaker, symbolizing  change or chaos, Uranus seeks to transcends limits, to move beyond the boundaries of established thought and crack resistance, opening the way. It is the rebellious energy that throws off the past to make room for the new. But when Uranian energy flows out of control, revolution runs wild. The Astrology Bible: The Definitive Guide to the Zodiac

Uranus is the planet that represents the introduction of something novel into the world and guides us along uncharted roads throughout our lives. The period of time in which we initially arrive in a new circumstance is characterised by disorder, stress, and tension. It forces us to mature in new ways and sometimes in ways that are unexpectedly different from what we had anticipated. Different responses to new and unknown sceneries are possible for everyone of us. A newly discovered feeling of independence may give us the opportunity to experience excitement, exhilaration, and sheer joy. It’s also possible that we’re worried about the unexpected ways in which our lives have suddenly reversed and taken a different path. This can make us feel as though we’re heading down a road that we don’t want to travel, especially when we didn’t anticipate going in that direction.

In many cases, Uranus movements or transiting aspects to Uranus will break a cycle in life that has been frustrating or negative, but we have been afraid to make the change because we don’t want things to get worse. Uranus introduces ever-expanding horizons of possibility into one’s life, yet it can also abruptly alter one’s path for what seems to have no rhyme or reason. Uranus does not acknowledge slow growth, which enables changes to occur over time. Furthermore, it looks to be indifferent to the person who is on the other end of the transit.

Uranus is able to see into the future and understand the underlying structures, patterns, and designs of life as well as our potentials. Uranus is the planet that has complete awareness of each and every one of the possibilities that are available in our lives. Maybe Uranus is like the intuitive parent who sees so many potentials in us that are just waiting to be discovered and lived out. Although it is believed that nothing in the world happens by accident and that everything is part of a divine design, there are times when it seems as though “chance happenings” and “surprises” are working against the plans that we have made for ourselves.
