You use scientific proof or direct experience your ideas and opinions on matters ruled by Uranus position in the horoscope. He refuses to blindly accept doctrines based on traditions or authority. Uranus has much to do with scientific experimentation and work that deals with technological, corporate enterprises, especially those that relate to scientific technology. Uranus shows how you can tap into an intuitive level of inspiration by going beyond the limitations of personal ego and forming a link with the Universal Mind. For this reason Uranus has much to do with occult and astrological ideas and practices.

Uranus also deals with the motivation behind your goals and objectives. Because Uranus rules universal brotherhood, this planet is always kind to those whos motives are honest and unselfish. If an individuals motives are selfish and destructive to others, sudden and seemingly inexplicable occurances thwart him and bring him misfortune.

The action of Uranus often seems mysterious. This is because Uranus rules the principle of transferences of conditions out of subjective manifestation into objective madifestation. The conditions previously existed only in the realm of thought or the Universal Mind.

Through its exaltation in Scorpio, Uranus is closely linked to Mars and Pluto, which are also agents of change and transformation. This meens by what change is brought about depends upon the sign position and aspects of Uranus. The departments of life most directly influenced by these changes are indicated by the house position of uranus and the houses where aquarius and Scorpio are found.

According to the theory of the Ladder of the Planets, we suspect that Uranus is also linked to Capricorn. This makes sense if you consider the amount of scientific research and development carried on by governments and large corporate enterprises. Uranus, through its exaltation in Scorpio and possible co-rulership of Capricorn, thus, has much to do with the use and management of large scale collective financial resources, such as stocks, or resources provided by taxes.

Uranus/Fire ~ Strong willed and highly independant in their expression of original, creative drive. They are able to iniate new enterprises and have the vision and insight to find new ways of doing things. They are also able to inspire others to support such projects. If Uranus is afflicted in a fire sign, headstrong pride and egotism make cooperation difficult.

Uranus/Earth Here you have the ability to find new and more efficient ways of handling financial, business, and professional affairs. Here you can put original, creative ideas, into practical use. If Uranus is afflicted, an overly materialistic attitude towards friendships and group associations, and attitudes toward business affairs could be erratic, eccentric, and, at times, impratical.

Uranus/Air Here you have inspired and unusual intellectual abilities. You demonstrate ease inestablishing new friendships and group associations. Many unique ideas come to you through sudden flashes of illumination. However, if Uranus is afflicted, mental concentration may be scattered and you may be to easily distracted by new ideas and experiences.

Uranus/Water This placement shows strong intuitive abilities. You empathize with others and and understand people from all walks of life. However, if Uranus is afflicted, sudden changes of moods can confuse and upset associates.

(Karen Hamaker-Zondag)

With our need for free expansion accompanied by a desire for independence and individuality, we often experience tremendous urges to distance from others, to go our own way without interference. Freedom and uniqueness are very dear to us, and we have no wish to be trammelled by convention.

Uranus pushed a philosophy of life and a need to widen mental horizons (Jupiter) in the direction of unusual alternative ideas and theories - especially those having to do with individual freedom and equal opportunities. We have independent spirits and make up our own minds on every topic.

The desire to be different comes out in all sorts of ways: in an unorthodox life-style, in inventiveness, in an intuitive appreciation (generally well-developed) of the advantages of new developments, and in a tendency to protest straight away against anything with which we do not agree. Even physically we can stress our difference: possibly by the way we dress, or possibly be some unusual physical feature (such as towering height) - as if our bodies already know we would want to be distinct.

Mercury rules the 3rd house, Uranus is the higher octave of Mercury. It is the higher vibration. Mercury deals with the lower mind, like the learning and thinking process, Uranus grasp on info comes from a higher realm, intuition, or sort of genius.
Your Uranus makes that 135 degree (don't ask me to pronounce it) aspect to your Moon (137)
After a closer look at your chart its Venus that you have rising (not Mars) Venus rules your chart and in its home sign and conjunct the Asc. Strong placement
Thought you might like this on Uranus in the 3rd

(Howard Sasportas)

Those with Uranus in the 3rd keep looking for their own ways to understand what happens around them, rather than adhering to how they have been educated to see things. In other words, they are inventive, original and intuitive thinkers. The Uranian mind grasps concepts whole, and has revelations and sudden insights into life, people, events and situations. SOmehow they perceive the environment from a slightly different angle to others. Very often they exhibit a kind of detached clarity which enables them to solve problems quickly. While others are grappling with solutions and establishing research projects to comprehend an issue more fully, Uranus appears on the scene and immediately knows the answer - 'It's obvious, you ought to try it this way'. A more rational and logical mind will be baffled by the Uranian ability to 'pull answers out of the air'. Sometimes, their ideas are slightly ahead of their time. Others simply will not be able to fathom them immediately. But days, months or years later they begin to understnad what Uranus had computed instantly and naturally.

People with Uranus in the 3rd may be restless and highly strung. They need to move around, explore and experience a wide variety of life's facets. Their minds may change course so quickly that others are left totally confused about what is happening. They are mental gymnasts: it appears that they are changing the subject or talking in non-sequiturs when actually they have made a quick connection between one topic and another which a slower-thinking mind may fail to perceive. Uranus's thinking is often non-linear or 'lateral'.

Uranus in the 3rd can described a disruptive early environment, possibly one in which significant changes in residence produced upheaval for the person. Even at an early age, they may have felt separate or different from others in the immediate environment. The relationships with siblings may be unusual, as in the case of blended families - where there are step-sisters or brothers from a previous marriage of one or both the parents. I have seen this placement in the charts of people who are considerably older or younger than the other siblings. A brother, sister, aunt, uncle, etc., may exhibit obvious Uranian characteristics.

Uranus in the 3rd might have a hard time adjusting to traditional educational systems. Any course of study may be subject to some chopping and changing. Often, they make highly original contributions to any branch of learning; and I have seen this placement in the charts of individuals who stand out in the fields of education and communication.

Hi Joyce! I would like clarity on Uranus in the 2nd House. The information I find on the internet is distressing. Please provide me and your readers another viewpoint on Uranus in 2nd House. – Thanks!

Thank you, "A", for your question, and also for raising an interesting point about the astrological information you've found on the internet about Uranus in 2nd being distressing. On a personal level, I can't comment on this as I've not trawled around looking for astrological information on this subject, but I'm not surprised to hear there is a whole load of alarming and distressing information around. If you read my blog regularly you'll already know that the Huber Method is concerned with positive personal growth, using astrological psychology as a means to this end; negativity doesn't get a look in, but truth and honesty do.

Now to your question. Uranus in the 2nd House is a combination of two component parts of the natal chart - a trans (beyond) personal planet Uranus, representing the drive towards creative intelligence, and the 2nd House, representing the area of expression and life experience concerned with security and possessions.

Uranus, despite all the hoohah about it being the planet or disruption and revolution (which it can be) is actually a Fixed planet. Its energy is directed towards striving for security and stability, yet it goes about achieving this by turning things upside down and causing change and disruption along the way. This probably sounds confusing! Uranus seeks security and stability and ways of making things better and more perfect than they were before by inventing and creating systems and ways of doing things which provide greater security. It may do this by engaging with and using technology (Uranus is a techno-whizz and adept at research). As we all know, our world is awash with inventions and technical aids and gadgets designed to make life easier. And Uranus, positioned as it is beyond Saturn in our solar system, takes things beyond the realm of known security so that new forms of security can be set in place. I write about Uranus, and the other planets, at greater length in my co-authored book The Cosmic Egg Timer.

Now to the 2nd House. This is where our possessions - those things which we hold dear to ourselves and might even represent our very survival - are of paramount importance. They give us our sense of self worth. Some people might gain this sense of self worth and security from the car they own, the dishwasher they have, the diplomas and certificates they have gained, the house they live in, the clothes they wear. All these things are indications that we've acquired something which makes us feel proud and good about ourselves; they make us feel we're worth something. Of course, our possessions don't necessarily have to be tangible, concrete things. They can also be our attitudes and values. As the 2nd House is a Fixed House, we have to be aware of the inherent dangers of becoming tied to the things which give us our sense of self worth because these can make us narrow and rigid. With a healthy attitude towards the material possessions we think we need, we can more easily let go of them and concentrate on developing an internal sense of self worth, drawing on our inherent talents and abilities, which are also our "possessions" - but no-one can take these away from us!

So, "A", if we put together Uranus and 2nd House, we have a potentially very creative combination. Of course, taken out of the context of the whole chart, what I can suggest about this combination is limited to only these two components. If we were to consider the colours of the aspects Uranus receives, which aspect pattern it is involved in, where it is positioned by Sign and House, then there would be a whole lot more information available - and the additional insights to go with it too!

Not as 'cool' as it is described lol. People look at you like you're crazy if you do this often enough.

Also difficulty staying focused etc.

I love this description. I completely agree. I think some may be unsettled by 2nd house Uranus because they can assume that means finance will be extremely erratic and unpredictable... but unless you have a noticeably afflicted Uranus, such as multiple squares and oppositions, this probably isn't true.

I see myself as extremely creative, unusual and eccentric at times. But I also see myself as a selfless person, for the most part, who is interested in changing the world by really shocking it with the change I can bring to certain areas, and by helping the weak and sick. My Uranus is in the 2nd house, and is trine my Moon in the 9th house. I think a lot of my life's philosophies come from this connection. Coupled with Pluto in the 12th, which seeks to connect to those who are damaged, hurt or imprisoned, having this Uranus placement makes me someone who is, unlike most I'm close to, extremely concerned with revealing the troubles and darkness to the world so we can change it, primarily through the arts and creativity.

So yes, I agree Uranus in the 2nd can bring financial difficulties, if you do not know how to manage its energy. But I think if we look at it from a new angle, we can see that you are blessed with this unusual Uranus placement because you potentially have the power to change the world in some cool, unique way!
