Category: Uranus in Houses

Liz: The next pair of houses – the 4th and 10th – are concerned with the family background and the parental inheritance. When Uranus is linked up with early life experiences, and especially if it also aspects the Moon, upheaval or stress may occur in the environment, or between parent and child, in infancy. This can…...

Liz: Let’s move on to Uranus in the 6th and 12th houses. This axis is concerned, on one level, with order and chaos. Service is only one means by which people seek to cope with an experience of something greater than themselves, whether this is the interconnected fabric of the physical universe (the 6th) or the…...

Liz: Let’s look at the axis of the 2nd and 8th houses. What lies at their core? Audience: Values. Liz: Individual values are usually associated with the 2nd house, but what links this to the 8th? What do we mean by “values”? We can understand these houses well enough through opposites – such polarities as stability…...

In many respects Uranus is at home in these two houses (3rd and 9th), because they are cadent and mind orientated, and therefore associated with reflection and learning. Uranus is consequently less likely to present itself through unexpected events of an emotionally jarring kind (although this can happen), and more likely to be active through sudden,…...

Liz: Shall we look at Uranus in the 5th and 11th? What is this axis really about? Audience: Participation. Creation. Liz: These are excellent definitions of the 11th and the 5th as separate houses. But at its core, the axis is concerned with identity – whether it is the “pure” expression of identity through the 5th,…...

Liz: The signs and planets connected with the 1st house are what we see when we look out of the window of our enclosed little psychic houses, so it is our view of life, which in turn shapes how we act when we are out in life. Our personal image is governed by how we define…...

How many are here today with Uranus in the 4th or 10th? These houses are, amongst other things, concerned with family inheritance; both are parental houses. You can all argue amongst yourselves during the coffee break, about which parent belongs to which house. But both houses are related to our psychological legacy. They don’t describe the…...

The 6th and 12th houses which are concerned with a new quality of relationship, a new mixture of individual and world. They are the houses of alchemical transmutation. It has always annoyed me to see these houses, especially the 6th, relegated to simple definitions like “work” or “self-undoing.” They are extremely complex houses. The 6th deals…...

Loss is very much part of Uranus’ expression in these houses, although loss can occur on many levels, not just the literal one. When Uranus is in the 2nd or 8th, our definition of permanence is subject to challenge, and our understanding of attachment may need to alter radically. We have to learn to rely on…...
