The point of freedom, innovation and sudden insight – where we break out of old habits.

Uranus is the symbol of unusual ideas and sudden turns: it shows where we long to differ from the ordinary and where the feeling "this must be done differently" arises. Because it moves slowly, its sign points more to a shared theme of a generation, while its house shows where we may live out renewal personally. In traditional reading it is the "awakener", which shakes things up – sometimes uncomfortably, but often liberatingly. Used consciously it offers originality, independence and forward-looking thought.

Shadow: The shadow side can be rebellion for its own sake, fleeing from commitment, abrupt breaks and emotional distance.

The question it asks: Where would I like to be freer, and what do I keep only out of habit?
