Uranus: Uranus rules Aquarius. If you have wondered why and how sudden changes come into your life, look no further. Uranus may be the answer. This planet reflects the energy of sudden change and also provides the intuitive information you need to deal with beginnings, endings, and even catastrophes.

Let’s look at the independent, unconventional actions inspired within us and reflected by Uranus in the chart. This planet shows what part of your life will be the focus of your independence and where you will take an unconventional approach to family, career, relationship – everything. Disruptive ideas and events come along to bring you back into balance. Have you noticed that the more eccentric your behavior, the more life gives you a push and forces you to conform? This is Uranian type energy working to bring you back into balance.

Next consider the role of intuition in your daily life. As you have disruptive episodes, you begin to be able to anticipate them, making adjustments ahead of time to minimize the upset. For example, once you slide on the ice a few times you learn how to keep your balance. Then you learn how to control a skid while driving a car. Then you understand how to manage a spiritual disruption ore easily. This is due to your developing intuition – you can foresee the future partly because of past experiences themselves and partly because you recall intuitive flashes that preceded or accompanied them. Uranus shows how this works for you personally.

When you find yourself detaching from people and events, this is Uranus in action. You have the capacity to take an aloof position, a more analytical and less active role in situations. The placement and aspects of Uranus show how you can best achieve an impersonal attitude in the face of difficulty (or it shows you how to remain connected in those moments when you would really rather be doing something else). This energy focuses your attention on invisible inner perceptions of your world in a way that is similar to everyone in your age group (all your friends have Uranus in the same zodiac sign), yet utterly personal in its development and expression, based on the house placement and aspects to other planets.

There is so much to say about Venus Transits, June 8 2004 and its impact upon mankind. This phenomenon has its direct connection since 1945 with the Planet Neptune (poseidon and Uranus (God of the sky) supporting and promoting the future itself and with it, the progress of man's mental exploration and cosmic consciousness. Life is a constant process of changes and because of Uranus "electrifying" impact those changes are taking place "at the speed of light". Many people will have to realize their own limitation as religious doctrines are replaced with a more advanced education "imposed" by the planet of changes and universality, (Uranus is also called the awakener in Greek Mythology).

Judging by the colour of its atmosphere, the sky of Uranus is likely greenish-blue. It is probable that the planet's rings can't be seen from its surface, as they are very thin and dark. Uranus has a northern polar star, Sabik (η Ophiuchi), a magnitude 2.4 star. Uranus also has a southern polar star, 15 Orionis, an unremarkable magnitude 4.8 star. Both are fainter than Earth's Polaris (α Ursae Minoris), although Sabik isn't fainter by much. Uranus is unusual in that the obliquity of its ecliptic is 82° (angle between the orbital an ...

Main article:Uranus (astrology) For some modern Western astrologers, the planet Uranus is the ruling planet of Aquarius. Manilius was unaware of the planet's existence, because it was discovered only in 1781 by Sir William Herschel. Modern interpretation associates Uranus with the principles of genius, new and unconventional ideas, discoveries, inventions, radical politics. Around the period of discovery in 1781, the idea of democracy and the human rights was prevalent, with the breakaway of the US from England a ...

The Age Of Aquarius

Many astrologers herald April of 1995 as the actual beginning of the "Age of Aquarius," for that is when Uranus entered Aquarius, and of course Uranus rules the sign of the water bearer. It's tricky to define and describe the general nature of Aquarius and the energies of its counterpart Uranus, for by their natures, they move beyond definition and transcend restrictions and expectations.

Uranus - Composition. Uranus is composed primarily of rocks and various ices, with only about 15% hydrogen and a little helium (in contrast to Jupiter and Saturn which are mostly hydrogen). Uranus (like Neptune) is in many ways similar to the cores of Jupiter and Saturn minus the massive liquid metallic hydrogen envelope. It appears that Uranus does not have a rocky core like Jupiter and Saturn but rather that its material is more or less uniformly distributed. Uranus' cyan color is due to the absorption of red light by atmospheric methane. Surface temperature on Uranus's cloud cover is approx ...

Uranus has 27 known moons. The first two moons (Titania and Oberon) were discovered by William Herschel on March 13, 1787. Two more moons (Ariel and Umbriel) were discovered by William Lassell in 1851. In 1852, Herschel's son John Herschel gave the four then-known moons their names. In 1948 Gerard Kuiper discovered the moon Miranda. The flyby of the Voyager 2 space probe in January 1986 led to the discovery of a further 10 moons, and another satellite Perdita was later found after studying old Voyager photographs. Ele ...

The Voyager 2 spacecraft was launched in 1977. It is identical to its sister Voyager program craft, Voyager 1, but Voyager 2 followed a somewhat different trajectory during its Saturn encounter, bypassing a close encounter with Titan to take advantage of a gravitational slingshot to travel on to Uranus and Neptune. It thus became the first and so far only probe to visit those two planets and the first spacecraft to make the Grand Tour of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. This was possible only due to a rare geometric arrangement of those four pl ...

Uranus is the Latinized form of Ouranos, Greek name of the sky. In Greek mythology Uranus is personified as the son and husband of Gaia, Mother Earth.

His equivalent in Roman mythology wa ...

Some of the moons of the outer planets of the solar system are large enough to be suitable places for colonization. Many of the larger moons contain water ice, liquid water, and organic compounds that might be useful for rocket fuel production among other things. Colonies in the outer solar system could also serve as centres for long term investigation of the planet and the other moons. In particular, robotic devices could be controlled by humans without the very long time delays needed to communicate with Earth. There have also been proposa ...
