Uranus in Scorpio

Uranus was in Scorpio only seven years since the late 1800’s, from September 1975 through November 1981 (as well as the five months from October 1974 through April 1975). This is a very powerful position for Uranus as it is "exalted' in the sign Scorpio (meaning that Scorpio is Uranus' strongest, most creative sign placement where it expresses its energy in its highest, most positive form). Your will and persistence are tremendous: you will find a way to express yourself, no matter what. You could be a healer, surgeon or psychologist, as you are able to go deep beneath the surface into the causes of pain and disease. If your Uranus is afflicted, you will have jealousy, envy, and possessiveness to deal with. It is unwise to avoid the necessity for personal growth and regeneration this placement demands, for you are morally capable of the highest and the lowest behavior. Passion must be joined by compassion for you; and resentment must give way to understanding. In general, many individuals with this placement are innovative in sexual matters (anything taboo), and have insights into what makes our darker side tick. The mystical, the occult and drugs hold your interest. Uranus returns to each sign once every 84 years.

Since Uranus stays seven years in each sign, its effect in Scorpio is collective and global, rather than individual. Every planet, however, including Neptune, is in a different house every two hours due to the earth’s daily rotation on its axis. Therefore Uranus' position by house (see pages 234-257 in your copy of You and the Universe) is very individual.
