When Uranus, the planet of change and revolution, enters Leo, the sign of the self and confidence, we often encounter and creative and confident generation willing to break the rules and create new ones. It tends to be a time of great optimism and confidence.
Uranus in Astrology
Uranus takes approximately seven years to transit through each of the astrological signs and retrogrades for around 150 days every year.
Rather than being a personal element in the birth chart, Uranus is a generational element that highlights important elements likely to impact people born under its influence.
Uranus was the first planet discovered by telescope, rather than being visible with the naked eye. For this reason, it has long been associated with technology, progress, and change.
Uranus is also the only planet in our solar system that is named after one of the Greek gods, rather than one of its Roman counterparts. Uranus, or Ouranos, was one of the primordial Greek deities, older than the likes of Zeus. He is a personification of the sky and both the son and husband of Gaia, primordial mother earth. Again, this reflects Uranus’ significance on the broader landscape that surrounds us, rather than on our individual personalities.
Uranus is tilted so far on its axis that it essentially orbits the sun on its side. This non-conformity with the other celestial bodies in the universe is another characteristic that Uranus highlights.
It should be no surprise that Uranus governs the sign Aquarius, which is known for eccentricity and non-conformity, but also confidence and imagination.
The Uranus in Leo Generation
Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Tom Hanks, Madonna, Ellen DeGeneres, and Princess Diana. These are just some of the celebrities that were born under Uranus in Leo when the planet was in the sign between 1955 and 1962.
Something that the Uranus in Leo generation has in common is a confidence not only in their own ability, but that their ideas and creativity will be accepted by the community around them. They can see that it is time for a change, and they aren’t afraid to be at the front of it.
They can also have an “accept me as I am attitude” and believe that they shouldn’t have to change for anyone.
Uranus in Leo Personality Traits
When you are born under Uranus in Leo, you tend to be highly confident in yourself. While you aren’t self-entitled, and realize that hard work is important, you are optimistic. You believe that you can achieve anything if you just try hard enough.
People born at this time often have creative tendencies. This doesn’t necessarily mean working in the arts, but rather having novel ideas. You aren’t afraid to think outside the box or experiment.
You can have a tendency to put yourself first. Everyone needs to work for what they want in life, and you don’t believe that you are responsible for lifting other people up. Of course, you will help people, but ultimately, you believe that people are responsible for themselves.
Uranus Transit Through Leo
When Uranus transits through Leo, you can expect to see people who were previously considered outsiders occupying the central ground. Rebels often take charge and bring others in line with their way of thinking.
It is also a time when individuals will revolt against the system and start trying to do new things. Constraints are revealed for that they are. Systems designed to maintain the status quo. There is a community interest in breaking these systems at this time.
Start-ups and other disruptive forces often thrive under Uranus in Leo. But they often need to be headed by a charismatic individual with an unshaking belief that their idea will work.
Uranus Retrograde Through Leo
When Uranus retrogrades for roughly five months each year, we are often called to take our foot off the accelerator a little. When Uranus is in Leo, it is easy to see what separates you from other people and focus on it.
This can be highly positive, as we recognize what makes us unique and special. But this can also make individuals feel like outsiders, and perhaps abandoned or betrayed.
At this time, it is important to think about making your own space and community. While this might start as a community of outsiders, with time, this community too may move towards the center.
