to find the house of your Uranus.
As a mature, outer planet, Uranus is always trying to see things from the broadest viewpoint possible. In the house where Uranus is found you will want to keep everyone in mind when making a decision or change. The decision that benefits the group over the individual is always preferred by Uranus. A stagnant, worn-out or out-of-date situation is intolerable to Uranus. The planet has no fear of change. Change is necessary and it will be made swiftly when Uranus is in a house.
With Uranus in the second house there is a desire to detach from the material world because it may seem cumbersome. Uranus often sees the material world as a responsibility which traps a person into bills and the maintenance of homes, cars, etc. A need for freedom is fundamental to Uranus and the second house can feel like a restrictive place for this planet. Uranus here may lead a chart holder to find creative and unique ways of earning money. There may also be sudden changes in financial status.
​The planet that makes its own rules can cause some havoc in the house of early schooling. Sudden changes in childhood schools are likely with a third-house Uranus and if only a few schools are attended, the chart holder may feel the need to break free. However, if given room to express itself and ample independence, Uranus can flourish in the third house. Uranus can lend its creative and original intellectual style to the third house and great success to the chart holder, but it must be fed with freedom and not starved with tedious rules. Spontaneous outings and surprise visits to family and neighbors are fitting with Uranus' manner of operating in the third house. Anything but a mundane routine keeps Uranus happy here. A third-house Uranus needs to be careful with commuting as it tends towards sudden, unexpected movements.
During childhood a fourth-house Uranus can give the chart holder an unwelcomed feeling a detachment from their family. The detached feeling isn't chosen by the chart holder. It is simply present in the family. Perhaps a parent is frequently absent due to work, or there is a divorce or the death of a close family member during the chart holder's childhood.
Or, it can be a more subtle situation where the parents are always busy with their own matters. The chart holder may be an only child who simply has fewer people in the home and left feeling detached. It is common for chart holder to have frequent changes in their childhood. Changes in residences or economic status are common with Uranus in the fourth house. As an adult, the chart holder with Uranus in their fourth house will transfer these feelings into the family they develop. There may be unconscious need to detach from home and family or to create crises that invoke change. Home and family life may feel stagnant without frequent upheavals or changes. Family heritage is likely filled with unexplained breaks in the family line and isn't of great interest to the chart holder. At least one parent is seen as distant.
Uranus is not comfortable in the sixth house. It constantly yearns to break free from what is sees as the petty concerns of this house. When trapped here, Uranus will find ways to make it easier by inventing new work techniques which make things more efficient here or simply detach and ignore the issues of work and service. This ultimately backfires because the matters of any house can be completely ignored. When this happens, Uranus can explode into a tyrant insisting that others do the work that Uranus should have done a long time ago. At its best, a sixth-house Uranus doesn't expect to be served anymore than it is willing to serve others. It would rather remain as separate as possible and find ways of navigating the daily routines of work life that allow the most freedom for everyone. It is often very successful at this by coming up with novel approaches to efficiency and work. But when it feels trapped here, it can become reactive and aggressive leading to stress related illnesses if no outlet is allowed for release.
A tendency to feel suddenly trapped in relationships and partnerships is often found with a seventh-house Uranus. These chart holders can hold a great deal of frustration at bay until it just becomes too much to push aside. Then, they explode and run for their freedom. People with Uranus in their seventh house resent partners who try to give them boundaries. They refuse to be controlled, but they also offer their partners a great deal of freedom. Uranus in the seventh house has a detached feeling and emotional drama is not addressed. The easiest way to lose a seventh-house Uranus partner is to suffocate them with emotional drama. A one-to-one relationships or partnership based on trust and loose boundaries is the only happy relationship with a seventh-house Uranus. Those with Uranus in their seventh house or Aquarius on their descendant are attracted to Aquarius-like people who are detached and unemotional.
Watch out for sudden, unexpected losses when Uranus is in the eighth house, like a spouse who suddenly files for divorce or an unexpected tax audit. These events are unexpected to the chart holder, but people who know the chart holder may see these things coming. Uranus can be oblivious, not noticing things that others see as obvious. Its detached, freedom-seeking nature is always looking elsewhere rather than at what is happening in the here and now. Then the chart holder is shocked when their life gets turned upside down, but had they been paying attention, they could have avoided it. Uranus doesn't feel comfortable with the intensely deep commitments of the eighth house. A habit of unconsciously separating from partners is common with an eighth-house Uranus. Uranus doesn't even realize it's doing this until suddenly, they are getting a divorce. A quiet rebelliousness towards taxes and those frustrating monetary obligations in life often leads an eighth-house Uranus into problems when it tries to deal with these issues in its usual unconventional ways. Odd planet that it is, Uranus gets flipped around in the eighth house. Here, Uranus needs to learn to let go of its need to let go. The eighth house is about intimacy and the dynamic of give and take. These ideas are foreign and distasteful to Uranus who always wants to break free. While most planets need to learn a little detachment in the eighth house, Uranus needs to learn to balance its detached nature with a necessary amount of intimacy.
Uranus in the tenth house carves its own path, putting its own desires before its concern over public image. For this reason, the personas of those with Uranus in their tenth vary greatly, but there is always a detached, off-key sense of public opinion. This position can lead to fame or notoriety, but it will always be due completely to the chart holder's motivations and decisions often making them famous for new and different things or for things which are unrelated to their career that would normally be kept private. Even when things are going awry in the public's eye, Uranus in the tenth house stays on its chosen course. The public often sees these chart holders as stuck on a one-way street. They are determined and have intense faith in their chosen paths to success. Then, when a sudden change occurs in the chart holder's life, it is very news worthy and causes a stir.
Uranus feels its power in the eleventh house where it relishes in working toward social change. Having Uranus in the house it rules gives the chart holder a comfortable feeling in groups and in friendly, acquaintance type relationships. They prefer these relationships over close, emotional relationships. Working with others toward a common goal is inspiring and satisfying for them. The idiosyncrasies of individual members are accepted no matter how outlandish and are treated as normal parts of what makes up a group. Uranus doesn't feel threatened by differences and believes their acceptance makes them superior to those who are unaccepting. This can make them push too hard for what they believe is best for society. Sometimes, their excitement about making sweeping social change in a one-size-fits-all fashion blinds to them to the fact that we are also individuals with different opinions. Just like anyone else, these chart holders can also be wrong, and their zest for change can lead groups in the wrong direction. In general however, these people are good at keeping relationships with people somewhat detached and non-judgmental. They excel at the reciprocal style of relating in social networking often gaining monetarily here from social connections and their ability to work through bureaucracy seamlessly.
Uranus, the crusader for righteous change, has its spirit squashed in the twelfth house. These chart holders grow up feeling like they should never rock the boat and create disturbances in the status quo. There is always a vague feeling that they understand the world better than the rest of their family, but they're not allowed to reach out and grab the world they see. They are bound to the world of their parents. It isn't that their parent's world is bad. It may be that their parents are bound by certain social protocols in their community or by their careers and the chart holder just feels closed in and blocked. In adulthood, however, the chart holder is released from the parental bond and can make those changes, but it's always like walking in mud. The twelfth house muddles the picture and although the twelfth-house Uranus person wants to break out and make changes, they are never quite sure if they should. Working with established organizations to push for social change is an excellent outlet for them. They may also find release in art. Their hidden talent is to gently push for change and righteousness while realizing that people are comfortable in their established ways and don't want to be pushed too hard or fast. They are skilled at helping with compassion.
