How to Know if You’re a Uranus Person

If Uranus or Aquarius energy is emphasized in your chart, you’re a loner who seeks intimacy in relationships (sometimes). Even the most anti-social Uranus person occasionally craves human contact. This is when you confront the tension between your status as a human being versus the suspicion that you’re not from this planet. Read on to find out if you’re a Uranus person, and how you can deal with this contradictory energy.

The Alien Among Us

Uranus represents the collective and liberation from group conditioning. This encapsulates the dilemma you live with every day. You are able to step back from the herd and see the bigger picture. You understand (but don’t always empathize with) everyone. That ability to intellectualize and not be overwhelmed by emotions enables you to be a friend, in the purest sense. For the most part, you don’t judge. All you ask is time and space to be yourself. You can be a humanitarian, a rebel or a bitter loner, depending on how you handle your status as someone who doesn’t quite fit in.

And it’s not that you want to fit in, but it gets frustrating when you meet someone and think that this could finally be the one who understands you — only to have him take it personally when you don’t respond the way you “should.” He thinks he’s getting a social butterfly but finds out you’re an introvert. Or, she gets offended when she senses that her lingering embraces make you squirm. The flip side of this is the possibility that your behavior is so unpredictable, your partner doesn’t know how to respond.

If one or more of the following apply to you, you are a Uranus person:

• personal planets, 1st/7th house cusp or ruler in Aquarius
• Uranus conjunct (within 4 degrees) any of the angles
• Uranus in hard aspect to the personal planets, any planet in the 7th house or 1st/7th house ruler
• multiple (more than three) easy aspects from Uranus to the personal planets
• personal planets or 1st/7th House ruler in the 11th House

Making Peace With the Group

If you’re a Uranus person, you don’t need anyone urging you to embrace your differences. But what you may have difficulty with is your relationship to the group. And this will directly impact your one-on-one relationships. You can’t get away from the fact that Uranus is about the collective, and if you feel marginalized, disgusted with humanity, or scornful of all the traditionalists, that negative energy is going to leak into your love life. This may not be an issue: maybe you’re cool with it all. But if you’re not, know that before you can have a healthy relationship with someone, you need to make peace with the group. Humanity is fucked up, but you’re still part of it. Millions of people are cruel and stupid, but millions of other people are loving and intelligent. Even if some people don’t get you, other people will want to get to know you. And the people who love you may never fully understand you.

Even if you have a ton of friends, you’re probably an introvert. You may be a closet introvert, but at the end of the day, you’re most comfortable chilling out by yourself. Some partners will get this, and some won’t. What throws many people for a loop is the dissonance between your social skills and your desire to be alone. When you want to, you can be the social star, because you don’t care what other people think. You’re not trying too hard, you just are, and that’s very attractive. Occasionally the lightning bolt hits and you become completely fascinated with Mr./Mrs. Wow. Your electric obsession also enchants the object of your affection. Which is why it’s so confusing for your partner when the fascination suddenly ends. You can only sustain that level of intensity for so long. If you’re with a partner for a period of time and the relationship is boring or restrictive, your feelings may abruptly switch off. The passion you felt is replaced by numbness. Conversely, you may get the crazy urge to disrupt things, and so you do. The result of numbness or disruption is distance between yourself and your partner. Uranus energy kicks in to cope with boredom, discomfort or memories of trauma. It’s safer out there than it is up close. But if distance is your only coping mechanism, you can become quite lonely.

If Uranus’ energy in your chart has a healthy outlet, the on/off switch or erratic behavior may not be an issue. You can stick with someone for the long haul, provided they allow you to be you. But more difficult scenarios can occur if you’re not fully aware of how Uranus works in your life. Uranus in the 7th house means you may project that urge for freedom onto your partners: you’re attracted to unstable/disruptive people. Uranus in hard aspect to Mars can create tremendous energy, impatience and a low boredom threshold (plus a craving for risky behavior). You will need an outlet for this. Personal planets in the 11th House can make you seem like everyone’s friend, but your lover may be surprised when you don’t want to go to the party.

If you’re a Uranus person, you have a live wire running through your chart. Here are some relationship issues to be aware of:

• be upfront about your need for alone time and personal space
• a buildup of irritation or sudden switch to numbness is not always a sign that it’s time to end things (try talking with your partner)
• be aware of any actions that may distance your partner
• no relationship is going to be constantly fresh and interesting, so find healthy ways to keep yourself interested in other areas of your life

We’re all unique snowflakes, but as a Uranus person, you’re a standout. Anyone who’s attracted to you will be drawn to that vibe. You don’t have to find a way to fit in, but you do need to find a relationship that fits you (if you want one). Ultimately, the relationship that makes you happy may look like no one else’s.
