Astrology was never acknowledged as an official science, but people have been practicing it since early days of human civilization.
This interesting and intriguing science originates from times as far as very beginnings of organized and civilized world; Western astrology comes from ancient age, rooted in old Persia, spread into and over Europe by Greeks and Romans.
Regardless of unwillingness of society to accept astrology as an official discipline, it literally translates to ‘science of the stars’.
The origin of the name comes from early Latin astrologia, derived from Greek. In Ancient Greek, astron means a star and logia means a study (of). Moreover, astrology is based on well-established principles; it has its methodology and sets of rules, just as any other science.
Later on, the meaning of astrology became more related to divination, while astronomy, astronomia, got the scientific tone.
Modern astrology is usually identified with natal astrology, which is only one branch of this interesting discipline. Many people relate astrology solely to horoscope. Horoscope translates to ‘hour marker’; its meaning is related to the observance of time.
To simplify things, horoscope represents a lifeline of an individual person, if we speak about natal astrology and that is what we are interested in.
We talk about personalized horoscope. Those short articles you read about your zodiac sign are generalized horoscope. People are wrong to think that all representatives of one particular zodiac sign are the same. It is true they will all carry some basic characteristic of a zodiac sign, but their natal chart is unique and it defines them as persons, not the native zodiac sign solely.
This unique natal chart is based upon a moment in time, the moment of your birth.
According to astrology, specific positions of planets in one’s natal chart determine that person’s destiny, to some point. Not only that, but also all aspects and elements seen in a natal chart shape an individual personality. Analysis of a natal chart is not an easy task and it requires a lot of knowledge about stars, planets, signs and all other elements of astrology.
A good astrologer must know all the rules and principles of this pseudo science, in order to analyze one’s birth chart and create a horoscope. Yes, it is exactly like that. Your horoscope is unique creation. What an astrologer sees there are potentials and capacities of an individual.
Astrologers will not give you straightforward answers, so you do not expect of them to solve your problems or ease your tensions.
Uranus and Horoscope
What an astrological analysis offers are guidelines, precious information and great insight. You could learn much about yourself. This knowledge could help you understand yourself better and use your potentials and energy the best way you can.
There is no such thing as completely ‘bad’ horoscope; it could be complicated and difficult, true. However, it depends on you how you would use your astrological energies.
Let us now move onto what we are most interested in here. It is the planets. Planets play an important role in each person’s natal chart, they are essential for any astrological analysis.
Astrology is based on the idea of planetary influence over people’s individual destinies. In Western astrology, planets are considered the most important factor in determining one’s personality and destiny.
At the time you were born, each planet, the Sun and the Moon, occupied specific place. Natal chart is a graphic representation of these positions. Planets in a natal chart find themselves in particular astrological houses and in signs, creating aspects and other relations amongst all the elements of a birth chart. With time, they move, of course, and change positions.
That is why it is thought that the moment of a birth is a defining moment of an individual person, in astrological terms. Each planet rules over particular zodiac sign, but they affect all signs, depending on overall complexity of one’s natal chart.
There are three types of planets in astrology, personal, social and transpersonal or impersonal planets.
The last three planets are transpersonal, they are astrologically seen as other levels of personal planets, to say so. These are extra-Saturn planets, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, which were not known in ancient times, because they cannot be seen with the naked eye.
Uranus is one of modern planets. It is considered a ‘modern’ planet, because Uranus was discovered in the late eighteen century, while other planets were known for millennia of years before that.
Uranus is particularly an interesting element of an individual birth chart. It is, by many characteristics, an unusual planet, in astronomic terms in the first place.
In astrology, Uranus is associated with everything that is non-typical, surprising, unique, eccentric, original, innovative and genius. Uranus rules the sign of Aquarius; it is known that Aquarius is always associated with liberty, breaking of bonds, open-mindedness, innovation, original ideas and a very wide perspective of the world.
All of this makes Uranus the planet of sudden changes.

Uranus spends years, seven years, to be precise, in one zodiac sign and affects whole generations. Uranus, the planet of individuality, originality, revolution and independence plays a specific role in each individual’s birth chart.
