The Sun and Uranus — Lightning Insights and Plot Twists

Hey everyone. This is Adam Elenbaas from Nightlight Astrology [https://nightlightastrology.com/].

Happy Friday, everybody. Today, we're going to talk about the sun approaching a square to Uranus over the weekend. This is just preceding the upcoming solar eclipse in the sign of Aquarius at the start of next week, which will also be in a square to Uranus, just separating. So we're going to talk about the Uranian piece of the moment right now that's happening over the weekend.

Going to give you a list of five things to watch for, sort of try to connect them ever so lightly to the Eclipse. We'll have more Eclipse coverage at the beginning of next week as well. So that's our agenda for the day.

All right, let's put the real time clock up so you can see this is Monday. The two planets, the sun and Uranus, are square to one another on Monday, but the square is actually passed over by Monday.

So what I want to do is show you where we stand on Friday. We have the three degree engagement range happening right now, between the sun and Uranus, sun and Aquarius, Uranus and Taurus, and that square is going to perfect over the weekend, just prior to the Eclipse coming early next week.

So we're really in a weekend that features the sun's engagement with Uranus. That's why we're talking about it today, kind of covering it for the whole weekend, but you'll see that by Sunday. If I fast forward this just a little, the sun gets onto that 27th degree by Sunday and so if I speed this up, you know, just a little bit, that square is actually technically going to perfect early, like late Sunday night, very early Monday morning, if you're in the United States.

So this is something that you will see peaking over the weekend, and when it's in that three degree range, you know, chances are it could be showing up today even last night. Could certainly be showing up tomorrow or Sunday, and then obviously, into Monday, we get into the eclipse on the 17th. So it'll keep participating in the in the Eclipse symbolism next week as well.

All right, I've got a list of five things to watch for. These are in no particular order, and they're really just meant to represent, be reminders of what happens when the sun meets Uranus, remembering that the sun, broadly speaking, tends to represent things like kings and rulers and fame and authority and celebrities and the the rule of law in the ancient world was associated with the sun and the king as law giver.

So there's all that mundane stuff, but then the sun was also used as a universal significator of purpose and ambition and a sense of life having calling or direction. It was called Daimon, as in the idea of a guiding spirit that shapes the course of our lives, like the plot line of a novel or a movie.

And so when things happen with the sun, often sense of purpose and life, direction or ambition, is going through a process of subtle change. Most of the time. These things are subtle compared to, say, a long term outer planetary transit to the sun. In your birth chart, just a couple of days worth of the Sun square Uranus is often not super dramatic, but you will feel it and notice it nonetheless, with respect to the evolving sense of direction, ambition, purpose, and that makes Sun transits pretty remarkable.

They have little contributions that they make to the evolution of the soul. In terms. Of its sense of purpose and direction in this lifetime.

Now, Uranus is going to be the planet of revolution, innovation, frequently compared to Prometheus, the bringer slash stealer of fire from the gods. There's something a little transgressive, revolutionary, defiant, original. Uranus likes to break outside of the box and often creates with the sun little moments of genius or radical break from the norms in order to disrupt the plot line and subtly readjust or provide more clarity.

So, really fantastic. I love Sun Uranus trends. I feel like I do have to watch for I have to watch myself getting a little, I don't know, like, overly excited. I get slightly manic, and maybe a little, like, plugged into an astrological outlet. But you know, apart from that, I find that these transits are often very innovative and surprising and exciting, like, there's a real enthusiasm that comes with them.

All right. Well, here's my list of five things to watch for given the combination in a square which can be little tense, so any of these things coming up might have a little bit more friction than, say, a conjunction or a Trine or a sextile. But that doesn't mean that the two archetypes don't work together well enough to generally be pretty productive when they meet.

Anyway, the first one is air versus Earth. Very simple distinctions that will be brought up through the elemental placements of these planets, sun and Aquarius, Uranus and Taurus. Air versus Earth can show up in terms of attention between material values and emerging ideas or principles or ideological visions that are trying to direct us into the future in some way, and the resistance or relationship to the need for a stable material, secure and somewhat peaceful base.

So the conversations between material security, enjoyment, peace, ease, abundance, even sense of like I feel luxurious living a life, whatever that means to you might be in a bit of a conversation with that pressing sense that the direction we need right now is sort of brave and visionary, and there may be some sacrifices required.

So what feels stable can resist what feels necessary on the level of some ideological sense of revolution that's taking place in your life. And so there may be recalibrations that have to happen as new visions for the future very sun and Aquarius are meeting with the very real need to find the most perfect conditions, materially for security, peace, ease, flow, etc. That's just the air and earth level of it.

Let's go to number two, which I'll just call disruptions. I mean, everybody knows this, but let's just say a few things about it. Anytime that the sun and Uranus get together. It's normal for unexpected changes to occur that destabilize your comfort zones or your routine, all the more so when we're talking about Uranus and Taurus, whether that's things like money or material security or material resources or assets or daily physical material routines or bodily needs, all Taurus, earthy kinds of things that can become disrupted because of changes that are that you're being asked to make, or that you're seeing are somehow necessary right now.

So one of the challenges that can also come up is the challenge of distinguishing between what is needed for the sake of greater revolution, freedom, liberation and or what is simply disruptiveness that's being driven by restlessness or impatience or zealousness. So looking at those things carefully, the disruptions are also normal.

So number three would be autonomy versus collective pressure. This transit tends to because of the Aquarian nature and the sun and Uranus. There may be a push or an urge or a call to act independently or unconventionally while facing resistance from various systems, groups or social norms or expectations.

So freedom requires some sense of risk or willingness to break apart from what other people think or how they see you or you know what they say is right or good. We don't want reckless rebellion that can fracture important alliances or friendships or meaningful groups we still want to be a part of, but sometimes there's a need, with these two planets coming together to like, act out and separate yourself and say, I don't I don't care what you say about me. I don't care what you think about me, hopefully in ways that don't just put us into yet another cycle of polarism.

Organization. But some need to evolve or individuate relative to groups or collectives. Is pretty natural for a combination like this.

Number four on my list would be innovation meeting inertia. So you know, Taurus can represent where there are entrenched habits that are comfortable. Uranus wants to break those up in Taurus, it has been doing it for a while. And the sun in Aquarius will provide ideas that therefore kind of collide with entrenched habits.

And so sometimes it's like we're trying to push a bull to move, and it's kind of stuck. So you might be feeling a bit of that, as well as feeling the the spirit of growth or progress or evolution, sort of bursting out of some form of inertia and sustainable change.

Sometimes with this kind of combination, especially Taurus, may require pacing, patience increments, moving a little bit more slowly, so that the idea and the innovation are going to be really effective and positive, but they need the right pacing so that they don't totally dysregulate things. So watch for those kinds of conversations.

And then five, very simple is just breaking out of habits. Any kind of habit awareness will grow with this planetary combination where our identity has become fused to certain material habits or realities. And therefore there may be some sense that, like I'm gonna give you a simple example that's happened to me just this week, as planets have been going through the square from Aquarius to Taurus, I was like, I'm not a coffee drinker anymore. I'm a tea drinker.

Now, I don't know it's i It's not about caffeine. I still have a little I one cup of tea in the morning, I was having one cup of coffee, but something in me shifted where I was, like, I am not loving coffee right now. And I know it sounds super stupid and like basic but I as a very Taurus thing for me, I drink my one cup of coffee every morning for years, and then all of a sudden, I kind of go, Hmm, I think I'm going to switch to tea.

There's been long stretches of my time where I've been tea drinker and coffee drinker. And I don't know why it switches. It just does. But the point is, where there has been some sense of I am a this rooted in kind of basic everyday, physical routines, habits, what you take pleasure in. I'm, you know, I'm, I eat this for lunch every day, or habits, hygiene, dress, esthetic, whatever it is, sometimes there'll be this sense of like, well, I just, I have some attachments, and I'm, I'm realizing I might be something else, and therefore need, like a new costume, like a costume change.

So you know where there are attachments, you may be breaking out of them, where there are just everyday habits, you may feel the need to change them in some way is, and there may or may not be something really grand or heroic about any of it, like I have. All I can say is that listening to those impulses to change something that you've been set in is usually pretty productive, and the impulse, unless it's super reckless and impulsive and harming, is usually like, like, I find that often like, these little moments where like, Oh, I'm a tea drinker, they tend to coincide with other things that are happening in my life, like other changes, and they all start becoming kind of part of a bigger constellation of change.

And so I don't know what that is, but with my with my te but the point is that when squares to Uranus are happening successively, like we've been having lately, whatever urges you're feeling to break out of certain patterns and shift direction, identity, purpose or everyday habits. Listen to them.

Be careful of impatience and recklessness and impulsivity, of course, with this transit but listen to those things and see what comes when you make those small adjustments. Sometimes they're connected to a larger redirecting of purpose that we can't see, because it's almost like, it's almost like, you know, picking up a tent and taking the tent down while you're backpacking.

You know, if you just take one stake out, like the whole the whole tent doesn't collapse yet to put it away, but take a few more out, and then the tent comes down, and you put it away, then you're going to repack it and take it on your back, and later in the day, you'll find a new campsite.

And so I think that often, like little changes like these, where there's successive squares are are like restructuring things, but we don't always. The big picture. Right away, you can notice the tea changing the tea and coffee. It's weird like that. But anyway, did that mean anything? I'm absolutely not sure about that.

Anyway, I hope you're having a great day. Have a great weekend. We'll see you again next time bye.
