When Uranus, the planet of change and revolution, enters Scorpio, the sign of secrets and insight, we often find rebellion and revolt on the cards. Competitiveness and a winning at all costs attitudes are also likely to prevail.
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 Scorpio Generation
Isaac Newton, Abraham Lincoln, Heath Ledger, Tom Hardy, Natalie Portman, Jessica Alba, and Aaliyah. These are just some of the celebrities born under Uranus in Scorpio. Most recently the planet was in this sign between 1975 and 1981.
Something that the Uranus in Scorpio generation has in common is a competitive nature and a desire to set themselves apart. They are willing to make bog personal sacrifices in order to achieve what they set their hearts on.
People born in this period also tend to be rebellious. They don’t accept that things need to be the way that they are, and they often choose to be combative when making their point.
Uranus in Scorpio Personality Traits
When you are born under Uranus in Scorpio, you may think that you know better than the people around you. For you, it is difficult to accept rules and customs that seem to serve no valuable purpose. Plus, you like rocking the boat and making a bit of a spectacle of it.
You are highly competitive and have very high expectations for yourself. You don’t tend to do anything by halves and take everything to extremes. For you, there is no point in doing something unless you are going to excel at it.
You may also be prone to darker moods as it is likely that you are attracted to more challenging ideas and feelings. Walking the line between enjoying those feelings and falling into them can be challenging.
Uranus Transit Through Scorpio
When Uranus transits through Scorpio, noticeable portions of society are often in rebellious mood. Sub-cultures often become both strong and respected. During the last transit, it was punk rock culture that was pushing in at the edges of society.
This also tends to be a time when secrecy prevails, and power structures mean that only a privileged few have all the information. Individuals will often lose faith in bodies of power at this time as a result. Conspiracy theories have ample fuel to spread.
Competition is often the word of the day during the transit. It often feels like life is a pyramid and there are only limited spaces at the top. People will often feel like they are willing to do whatever it takes to get their position at the apex.
Uranus Retrograde Through Scorpio
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 Scorpio, we often find ourselves plagued by suspicions.
We often feel like our vision becomes clearer and we can see through to the reality of things. But this can fuel suspicion and belief that others are being less than genuine. Our response to this is often secrecy.
It is not uncommon to feel a “me against the world” attitude during this retrograde and believe that the only person in life that you can rely on is you.
