ranus in Your Horoscope
Uranus in your horoscope shows where you are likely to be the most independent and depart most obviously from the conventional way of doing things. The position of Uranus shows where you need to break away and cut out on your own because you strongly feel in this matter that you alone know what is best for yourself. If you are ever going to make a mark for individual and independent effort, you must do it in the area where you find Uranus. Uranus in some cases also shows the potentiality of genius, which is rare. It more often shows an indication of eccentricity, which is out of step with everybody else. Uranus makes itself felt by a marked deviation of movement or direction. Since any departure or break from the normal attracts attention to itself, the native must be prepared to defend himself, or his position in this area of life, if he wants to maintain his freedom of choice and the validity of his individual effort. The public is quick to close ranks against individual positions that threaten its solidarity. Usually the native is initially regarded as eccentric and ignored in this matter. If the native, however, persists and shows merit, circumstances seem to stack up against him until he can achieve a permanent breakthrough and get clear ahead of the crowd. Only time can prove the genius (or impossibility) of his action or work. There is something about the Uranian impulse against which we are helpless. It tends to push us unexpectedly into situations without preparation. Undoubtedly, if changes have to be made, sometimes this is the only way they can ever come about.

Departing
The greenish color of Uranus' atmosphere is due to methane and high-altitude photochemical smog. Voyager 2 acquired this view of the seventh planet while departing the Uranian system in late January 1986. This image looks at the planet approximately along its rotational pole.

Black Rings
This image reveals many broad lanes of dust surrounding the 9 main rings of Uranus. It was taken by Voyager 2 looking back toward the sun through the ring system. The dust is especially bright in this view, for the same reason that we can see dust on a windshield better when we are driving toward the sun. The rings of Uranus are actually very dark; their albedo is only a few percent. The short stubby streaks are stars slightly smeared during the long exposure.

he ancient legend
URANUS: Great primeval God of the Sky. Born of GAIA, the Earth, he covered the world in the form of a vast bronze dome and ruled over everything.
Taking GAIA to wife, he impregnanted her with many children but was not prepared to deal with the consequences. In fact he was terrified of the monstrous brood of TITANS forming inside her and threatened terrible reprisals should they ever pop out.
GAIA, wanting to protect her children, kept them inside herself as long as she could, but pretty soon the pain was unbearable. Relief only came when CRONUS, their youngest son, stepped in. Or rather, popped out.
Armed with a sickle, he lopped off URANUS's... er, well, let's not go into details. Suffice to say that URANUS was cut off in his prime and CRONUS took over as supreme being.
Helpful note: URANUS is pronounced with the stress on the first and last syllable: Ur-a-Nus. This helps to avoid further embarrassment.
