About this entry
Raphael, writing in 1828, tried a rule that covers this pairing. He thought the planet he called Herschel fared well in the airy signs and badly everywhere else, fiery signs included, so Aries falls on the wrong side of his line. He also says the planet's long revolution makes it impossible to form anything like a system yet, which makes the rule a first guess by his own account.
Ptolemy gives Aries to Mars as a house and makes it the Sun's exaltation, a sign where a planet was held to gain standing. He knew nothing of Uranus, found in 1781. No source here assigns Uranus any rank in Aries, so the sign's old owners describe the setting and nothing more.
By calculation Uranus entered Aries in 1927, settled there in 1928 and stayed until 1934 or 1935. It returned from 2010 or 2011 until 2018 or 2019. Everybody born in those stretches has this placement, so it cannot set one classmate apart from another. Modern books sometimes call such a cohort restless pioneers, a popular reading that no calculation tests.
