What It Means
In modern astrology Uranus rules Aquarius, and here the planet shows itself in pure form: independence, inventiveness, faith in progress and interest in the future and collective projects. The generation born with it grew up alongside the internet and treats networks and technology as a natural environment. In a personal chart it gives original thinking, a gift for finding like-minded people and building communities, and the courage to be different. Saturn, the traditional ruler of Aquarius, shows how you turn ideas into structure. The house Uranus occupies points to where you're most freedom-loving. The challenge is emotional detachment, stubbornness and reluctance to adapt to others.
