Uranus in Scorpio

A chart describes tendencies in a symbolic tradition. It cannot decide health, money, law, marriage or children.

About this entry

Some modern tables give Uranus its exaltation in Scorpio. None of the sources gathered here says so, and Ptolemy could not have, so the claim belongs to recent astrology and should be read that way. Exaltation simply names a sign where a planet is said to gain standing.

For the older layer there is Mars, who holds Scorpio as a house in Ptolemy's table, and the Moon, whose fall lies there. Raphael's rule of 1828 puts the watery signs on the unfavorable list for Herschel. Sepharial's 1920 list of malefics, the old term for planets read as difficult, names Uranus and Mars together, so in that book the planet and the sign's owner share a label.

Seven years sets the scale: 1974 or 1975 to 1981 for the last pass, and 1890 or 1891 to 1897 or 1898 for the one before. Whoever was born in that window has Uranus here, whatever else differs between them. Talk of an intense age group comes from modern columns, and the chart method cannot confirm it.
