Uranus in Libra

Two writers of the early twentieth century pair Uranus with a different older planet, and Libra happens to satisfy both. Alan Leo, before 1917, links it with Saturn, whose exaltation Ptolemy places in Libra. Heindel in 1918 makes it the higher octave of Venus, and Libra is a house of Venus in the same table.

Neither writer draws the connection to this sign in what was read here, so it is our observation from their two schemes. Raphael in 1828 does speak to it directly and names Libra among the airy signs that suit the planet. In the same passage he says the planet's long period of revolution makes anything like a system impossible.

The years are 1968 or 1969 to 1974 or 1975, with an earlier stay from 1884 or 1885 to 1890 or 1891. Those born then share the position as a plain fact of the sky. Popular astrology of recent decades reads them as rewriters of the rules of partnership, a modern gloss with no support in the older books and no power to describe one individual.
