URANUS: Chaos & Order
Uranus stays in a line for 79 days.
“Uranus is strange. It rotates backwards, like Venus, the only two planets rotating on their own axis backwards. There was a cataclysmic event 2.5 billion years ago…probably the thing that pushed Pluto and Chiron out where it is…also created most of the moons of Uranus. Uranus was hit by something so hard that it was knocked on its axis. It was totally knocked on its side. Because of that, Uranus has a magnetic field that whips, in big loops, all the way around the solar system. If you could see Uranus magnetic field as light, you would never see another star in the sky. It’s all around us.
Only out of darkness comes light. It’s the whole secret of form. It is the nature of the Big Bang. Light emerges out of darkness in us. The moment that our form is correct, the light is there. Every time you meet an obstacle is your opportunity for light. Every time there’s something that gets in the way of your expectation, there’s an opportunity for light.
In the Rave chart, Uranus will focus attraction to chaos upon the theme of a particular gate. It always brings a quality of unusualness to its gates in design. Uranus dance with chaos lasts until the midlife point (the breathing-in of prana) after which the chaos is brought to order (the breathing-out of prana). The creation of form out of chaos is the Uranian medium. Uranus needs chaos as its muse. It will distance itself from the rules, it will see itself above all rules. This is not to be confused with rebellion. It is in fact Uranus who sees Saturn as both rebel and a boring slave to order.
Of all the planets, none is closer in spirit in our nature and process than Uranus. Since Uranus was discovered in 1781, the quality of life on this planet for our species has improved at an astonishing rate. The Uranian cycle of 84 years has become a universally attainable life span. With the discovery of Uranus, humanity transformed from millennia of seven chakra format into a nine-centered Rave. Humanity as a whole has not yet adapted to this new cycle. Evolution takes time. The flowering of mankind will come in hundreds of years with the arrival of the Aquarian Age.
Where you see Uranus in your chart is where the light can emerge in you. You can be clear about that. No matter how intellectually competent you are in being able to grasp all of this, there is no way that any mind can compensate, control and work with the program. You can only do that mechanically. Where you see Uranus in your chart doesn’t mean you can pull the light out. You can only be yourself and you can wait for it to emerge. You have to have the experience.”
There’s a significant chart at around 40yo called Uranus Opposition - that opens up a new layer of consistent experience and possibilities, only to be replaced (or maybe dwarfed is a better word) by our Chiron return at around 50.
To recognize our own unusualness is to have a peek into one of the more important pieces of us that we bring to the world imho. It’s goes straight to how we operate, but then so to can other pieces of our puzzle eh?
Mine are interesting - I’m more “fish in the water” about my Black/conscious P Uranus than my Red/unconscious D Uranus tbh.
For me it’s -
P Uranus 47.5 - The Gate of Opression/Realization - Line 5 The saint ... the gift in times of opression to maintain without hypocrisy a harmonic relationship with one’s oppressors, while providing aid and succor to the oppressed. Realization at its most exalted.
(like I said in one of my recent posts, the gist of my understanding of this is I’m able to see both sides of a conflict, mediate, play devils advocate, etc - and apparently there’s an ease to it - consistently - that isn’t true for everyone - I’m coming to recognize this more and more with these often polarizing topics that are dividing folks)
D Uranus 6.2 - The Gate of Conflict/ Friction - Line 2 The guerilla ... the ability to maximize an inferior position through timely contact and withdrawal.
Aesthetic sensitivity and mental detail can find the weakest point. The sensitivity to find the weakest point in a conflict and to exploit it emotionally... also carries the possibility of a lack of sensitivity that blunders into conflict.
I think this points out there’s a timing thing that goes with the 2nd line as well - not quite heresy like the 5th line, but still more effective when ideally timed.
Can also see where this timing (of this Gate anyway) can be impactful in a willful, forced way or not and also for the benefit of all involved when possible or used in an expletive way.
Friction can be “useful ... or wasteful” is the flavor of it for me.
Which Gates is Uranus defined in for you?
I’ll attach a second image with a map of the bodygraph that includes the planets labeled (just have to go find it once I’m actually up - it’s 4am atm 😆 - remind me if I forget please?
Appreciate you :)
PS. I’ve grabbed these gate descriptions from The Definitive Book of Human Design - totally worth its textbook level pricing - also, I have a resource for you while you wait for yours to be readily available if it isn’t already.
Just let me know in the comments and I can hook you up 👍🏼
