In  Sepharial’s Manual of Astrology, Uranus makes its debut in Chapter Three of that very useful work through the following terms:

From this description, the average student of astrology may not readily recognise that this planet, Uranus, is the planet that brings us our most significant spiritual breaks, just as the average person experiencing the effects of a stressful transit from Uranus may fail to appreciate that Uranus is delivering to the personality a fiat from the soul.

It is therefore the job of the eosterically-oriented astrologer to explain what may not be obvious to the personality. The astrologer’s explanation may help to prevent the personality shutting down on what could be turned into a major opportunity.

At this time in our development when the majority of advanced humanity is fighting to get free from control by its desire nature, Uranus is the most effective liberator but it has the soul’s perspective that the ends justify the means. Even when spiritual awareness is present, the personality that is being seriously challenged will have a job accepting this.

The personality is concerned with it own perpetuation; the soul is concerned with making the personality develop itself at any price. Until the personality is properly aligned with the soul, there is a conflict of interest. Uranus insinuates itself into the conflict to enforce the reality of the soul, using whatever means are available to this most resourceful planet.

In esoteric astrology, Uranus rules:

It also rules:

Viewed against these credential, the malefic status conferred upon Uranus by orthodox astrology may seem unappreciative to say the very least.

But as those of you who read the website articles on a regular basis will know, the D.K. Foundation is intransigently resistant to the kind of spirituality that denies the reality of the personality. Whether this denial is inspired by soul yearning, or from the other end of the scale, by spiritual pride and lack of self-awareness, it is not helpful. 

How do people start working on a reality that they are told does not exist? The answer is they do not: they usually try to deny it until the day it takes them over and then, in disappointment and shame; they frequently give up the fight. Witnessing people giving up their spiritual quest because the going has got rough makes one aware that what New Age thinking has given with one hand, it can so readily take back with the other.

Uranus can give the personality serious gyp. The job of the practicing astrologer is not to deny it but to explain the purpose that it is serving. Uranus needs neither the consent nor the understanding of the personality. But if the personality will co-operate (and this involves assuming the perspectives of the soul) then Uranus’s effects will go deeper and further.
