1. The Astrology of Uranus in Aries
In astrology, Uranus is considered as the Great Awakener and when it comes
to Aries, this is a symbol of new beginnings. This means that things can become
really lively. While Uranus, the planet of chaos tumbles over the Fire sign of heat,
energy and courage, events can really get HOT.
The astrology of Uranus in Aries tells us that when something new is created
or manifested, it becomes chaotic and messy. There won’t be any signs that things
can go smoothly. During this time, it is essential to be smart and to keep focused.
New beginnings are the territory of Aries, a time when good things begin.
However, in order to start something new, it is a must to leave your past
behind. This is necessary when welcoming something new into your life.
Uranus is considered as a
transpersonal planet, which means
that it can take you to experiences
above your ego-self. It can take you
to your higher self or your spirit,
whatever you want to call it. Such
strong energy can have intense
impact on a lot of people and in the
whole world in general. It can also
have some effects on us individually.
As you go through the astrology
of Uranus in Aries, remember that it
is much simpler for you to work and
control these strong energies in your
own life than for the world. This is because the whole world is composed of plenty
of individuals who belong to different countries, have different religions, gender,
beliefs where all of which lead them to different points of views, visions and
direction in life.
Inside yourself, you may have several priorities, wants, needs, dreams – all of
which are within your control. The direction and views of the world is directed by
more than just a person. This means that the world depends on an integrating force
to join a lot of different point of views, principles, beliefs, priorities and wants.
While you want to know about how to use the intensive energy of Uranus in Aries,
begin with what you own and have NOW – your views, fears, hopes, and your
own life. The best way to make a change in the world is to start changing yourself!

2. Uranus was seen making its first and tentative entrance to Aries last 27th of
May last year then went back to Pisces lat 13th of August. It then went back into
Aries last 11th of March this year.
The last time that Uranus went to Aries was during the late 1920s and early
1930s. This was when the economy of the world escalated to a false inflated peak;
but then, the end came during October 1929. The whole world witnessed the fall
of stock markets because of uncontrolled mismanagement. This was what led to
the Great Depression – a time of distressing unemployment. The corporate world
that served as the supporting column for the economy of the world crushed and
was seen falling down. As Uranus went to Taurus in 1934, the reconstruction
process started through social welfare programs and the slow healing of economic
systems.
The astrology of Uranus in Aries when it happened again on May 2010 was
when people hoped that the worst things have happened and that it would just heal
the wounds that it has left. Although the whole financial meltdown was evaded by
that period, there have been surprising reports when large sums and bonuses were
given to people and companies whose negligence led to the woeful economy in the
first place.
The Planets – Uranus
There’s more to Uranus than just being the 7th planet in the solar system. This
planet was discovered by William Herschel during 1781, who first thought that it
was a comet. Another astronomer, John Flamsteed, included Uranus in his maps of
stars and so Flamsteed thought that it was a star. Uranus was soon considered as a
planet when Herschel observed and made calculations about the body’s motion.
He also soon discovered Uranus’ two of its many satellites – Titania and Oberon.
Uranus was among the first planets that were added to complements identified by
the ancients even though there have been common talks about “the 7 planets”
since the moon and the sun were also included in that group (but the earth was not)
by Aristotelian believers. The discovery of the planet was then celebrated by
political satire by letting go of an air balloon, which signifies the journey of man
from the earth towards the newly discovered planet. The planet, however, was not
given much attention from most 19th century space explorations.

3. Here are some facts about
th
the 7 planet of our solar system.
• Uranus is a giant ball of
gas. Although its diameter is
lesser than one-half of Saturn’s
diameter, it is still considered as a
gas giant. According to theories,
Uranus could have been made of
a solid silicate core that is
enclosed by a deep layer of
liquid.
• Its rotation on its axis
was considered highly strange, with the axis almost parallel to the plane of its
elliptical orbit.
• Another scientist, William Lassell, discovered two more of its satellites –
Umbriel and Ariel in 1851 and one more, Miranda, by astronomer G. W. Kuiper in
the year 1948. In 1986, during the exploration of Voyager 2, thirteen more
satellites were discovered and another 2 by the Hubble Space Telescope.
• The first five satellites of Uranus were named from characters of
Shakespeare and were given by John Herschel. However, the scientists naming the
moons or 13 satellites found by Voyager 2 averted from the scheme and inserted
names taken from the book The Rape of Lock by Alexander Pope.
• During the year 1977, scientists observing the occultation (concealment of
one celestial body by another) of a star by the planet Uranus discovered some
irregularities, making them believe of the presence of a ring system similar to
Saturn’s. This observation was validated by other astronomers observing the planet
even before Voyager 2 sent out photographs of its rings.
• The location of planet Uranus also made it somehow popular with
speculative fiction. It was featured in The Planet of Doubt by Stanley Weinbaum
wherein he outfitted it with an ecosphere which is almost the same with other
satellites and planets. It was also showcased in Clouds over Uranus by R. R.
Winterbotham and The Long Winter by Raymond Gallun.
• Not only did the planet remain popular in speculative fiction; for soon, its
satellites were also featured in different works. Evolution Satellite by J. Harvey
Haggard featured Uranus’ Ariel. The planet Uranus made a sensational comeback
during the last phase of the 20th century in stories like Dies Irae by Charles

4. Sheffield and Into the Blue Abyss by Geoffrey Landis. It was also featured in Into
the Miranda Rift by G. David Nordley and Mustardseed in the year 1999.
Uranus – Named for a Greek God
Uranus was among the first planets to be discovered in the recent times. The
planet was named after a Greek god, as opposed to other planets named after
Roman gods. Uranus was named after the god of the sky and is the 3rd biggest
planet in the solar system. It is a planet of high interest and in this article come
plenty of fun facts about Uranus.
Uranus is a gigantic ball of
liquid and gas. It is considered as
the farthest planet which can be
seen without the aid of the
telescope. Uranus is considered as
the seventh farthest planet from
the sun. The single spacecraft that
has gone to Uranus is Voyager 2
in 1986. Uranus also has rings on
its surface, which is similar to
Saturn. Uranus’ axis of rotation is
considered as highly strange since its axis is almost in the same level as its
elliptical orbit. Here are some more interesting facts about our 7th planet.
• On the 13th of March 1781, a British scientist named William Herschel
discovered Uranus but initially thought that it was a comet.
• The distance from the Sun to Uranus is almost the same as twice the
distance between the Sun and Saturn.
• Uranus emits a light blue color due to the methane gases in its atmosphere
which blocks out red light.
• Uranus revolves around the sun on its side. Its axis is tilted at 98°, with its
south pole tilted towards the earth.
• Just like Saturn, this planet also has rings around it which are made of
small rock particles and ice. They are so faint such that they seem to look as black
like charcoal. Uranus is said to have 11 of these rings.

5. • Uranus spins on its axis from east to west, opposite to Earth’s direction of
spin and the same as with Venus.
• Uranus has 21 satellites, 5 of them are large and the rest are much smaller.
The moons revolve around the planet like a Giant Wheel in a carnival. The moons
would go alternately above and under Uranus.
• Uranus moves around the sun once in 84 Earth years. However, days on
Uranus are shorter than Earth days since one day on that planet is 17 Earth hours
long.
• The seasons in Uranus are extreme because of its peculiar axial tilt. When
the sun rises at its north pole, it stays up there for 42 Earth years. When it sets, the
northern part of the planet remains in total darkness for the remaining 42 Earth
years.
• Uranus’ atmosphere is composed of methane, helium and hydrogen.
• The gravitational force at Uranus’ surface is just 90% of the Earth’s
gravitational force. This means that if an object has a weight of 10 lbs on Earth, it
would just weigh 9 lbs on Uranus’ surface.
• From mythology, this planet was named after the god of the skies and also
the husband of Earth. According to mythology, Uranus was the King of Gods who
was overthrown his Saturn.
• Astrologers think that Uranus could have a large body of water
underneath the clouds. It also contains a huge rocky core and because of too much
pressure, it could possibly hold millions of huge diamonds.
• The diameter of Uranus is four times than that of our Earth - 31, 763
miles or 51, 118 km.
