Uranus in Cancer

Alan Leo, writing before 1917, grouped Uranus with Saturn as dry and cold. Cancer counts as a watery sign in the later manuals and is the Moon's house in Ptolemy, so on Leo's description the planet sits in surroundings unlike itself. Raphael reached a similar place in 1828 by a shorter route, since he listed the watery signs among those where the planet did poorly.

Those are judgments from the first century and a half of the planet's known history, and they stand beside Zadkiel's flat verdict of 1833 that it was evil and Heindel's 1918 chapter title calling it the planet of altruism. Of the sources here only Heindel 1918 reads Uranus in Cancer itself, as a sensitive, psychic placement whose effect depends on its aspects, and the health and family claims he adds are not repeated on this page. Anything more specific has to be assembled from the sign's general meanings.

The planet spent 1948 or 1949 through 1955 or 1956 here and returns from 2032 or 2033 until 2039 or 2040. A birth well inside those years carries the sign automatically. Modern books that speak of this group reshaping home and family are describing an age group in broad terms, and the calculation cannot show that any two of its members think alike.
