This can be both the unusual and brilliant genius or the wilful rebel without a cause. This planet tells us the areas in which we break with convention, become innovative and experiment with new and exciting ideas.

Uranus represents the creative genius which comes directly via our higher self, especially when it aspects Mercury, the planet of communication. Uranus is the higher octave of Mercury.

Uranus is the planet that represents The Rebel Archetype. It's also The Inventor, The Genius, The Revolutionary.

Uranus has an 84 year orbit, so is active at age 21, 42, 63 and 84. These are ages when a person needs to break free form convention and individuate.

It is most often experienced when it makes an opposition to the natal position at age 42, the age known as the mid-life crisis. It can disrupt like no other energy and is often seen in divorce or dramatic life change. Astrologer Jeffrey Wolf Green links it to mental traumas and it certainly has an impact on the nervous system.

Uranus rules accidents, shocks, and evrything unpredictable such as earthquakes, electrical storms. In mythology Uranus is called Ouranus the original creator sky god.

On November 4th 2008 Uranus made its first opposition to Saturn and Barack Obama was elected in the US. This was the first of 5 oppositions.
Saturn is structure and Uranus disrupts -so this is part of the reason why we have been undergoing the shake ups in the world of banking and traditional institutions.

Now in 2010  the last 2 oppositions are coming about. It is a time when we are called to change. To change from a fear based reality (Saturn) to one of creativity and inspiration (Uranus).
