Naked Secrets Unearthed: Uranus in Scorpio

Greetings, and welcome back! Today I am offering some thoughts on the influence of Uranus in Scorpio. I have published a detailed message about Uranus earlier in this journal, but it is not necessary to read it to understand what I have to present below, as I present a summary of its most important points.

On an exceptionally clear night under perfect conditions, Uranus is only just visible to the naked eye and was not discovered as a planet until relatively recently, with the invention of telescopes, because it is so dim as to be nigh invisible and has a slow orbit so it moves only very gradually through the sky, masquerading as a faint star or a comet. Astrologically it is the first of the trans-personal or supernal planets, which have their orbits beyond Saturn and which lead us beyond the mundane realms – Saturn is the final astrological influence to have an inherent power to directly introduce a causative principle into the material sphere (karma), and everything beyond Saturn must accumulate an astral causation in order to affect the physical plane, something it can only achieve through the power of mass. The influence of Uranus in signs (and many of its aspects) can be considered a generational influence, one affecting a mass number of people, because it is so slow. Its power is shared among all these people and what they do with it together becomes the story, but if you turn a microscope on that story you will see a multitude of individual expressions of it, each of them different but intricately combining and recombining together to produce an outcome.

Each generation assimilates, cross references and contextualizes the lessons and teachings of past generations and projects their own progress into the future by teaching the generations which proceed from them. All of our progress is contained within the collective mind of the species and is transmitted from one generation to the next. Each of the outer planets represents an opening into a specific subset of this collective (and ultimately universal) awareness. Uranus is the first and closest of these planets, thus the closest to everyday human awareness, and this is why it is so explosive to encounter. It literally shatters the boundaries between the mundane individual and the universal or collective, heralding greater freedom for the spirit.

To put this another way, the future is filled with all manner of strange and varied possibilities, and the present reality we are in could track towards any of them. The present reality we are in, therefore, is not as stable or predictable as we might like to think, and there are always alternatives to the path we are on, and always surprises that can pop up. Yes, the Sun will probably come up tomorrow, but there is no proof that it will always do that. The universe of the future is pregnant with strange fruit. This is the influence of astrological Uranus, a faintly luminous sphere, with the present reality we are in being astrological Saturn, an unmissable bright entity in the sky. Chiron is that which leads in-between them weaving back and forth to select the outcome. This is what makes him an initiatory figure in possession of both magic and natural lore.

Uranus thus represents magic, originality and unconventionality – in contrast to Saturn which represents adherence to material laws, tradition and the status quo. Uranus can signify both the unusual and brilliant genius and the wilful rebel without a cause, and both at the same time – it fully embraces any contradictions as new ground. It tells us the ways in which we break with convention, operate outside the box, become innovative and experiment with new and exciting methods. It shows us where we are most easily able to establish an individualised link with the mind of the collective awareness – our fellow human beings – and thereby receive inspiration through the interconnections of life so to solve its problems with new ideas. It shows the new ideas which will emerge from the mental plane through the collective mind and the most radical social and mental changes which will be made by the generations we are born into, thus what they will kick against.

Uranus is sometimes described as the ‘higher octave’ of Mercury, which means that it carries the essential meaning of that planet to a collective or transcendent scale. Where Mercury is the planet of the personal form of mind, Uranus represents the mental quality and form of the collective mind of humanity (an ever changing beast) and more essentially the collective mental awareness of any individual species inhabiting the Earth. As it wanders through the zodiac it stimulates an entire generation of each species with a certain collective mindset relevant to that species, which may be thought of as a singular group mind enveloping everyone and everything born into that species over a period of years, in human terms imbuing it with a certain ideology and urge to break free of past conditioning, a part of the zeitgeist, the spirit of an age (much like Neptune and Pluto are but they have different functions). In animals and plants the influence of Uranus is not as sporadic or irregular because it is a level of awareness that is shared consciously throughout the species, i.e. the animal and plant kingdoms exist in a conscious state of collective awareness while we live in an unconscious or subconscious state of collective awareness, cut off from the instinctive connection of our species with the mind of the Earth. To them come evolutionary leaps, new instinctive and mental insights and breakthroughs, while we have to invent gadgets and internalise their impact through the change they force on our societies, or generate new ideas out of the collective to drive our progress. Its a struggle of both questing for the know-how and of ideologies clashing. This is a prominent factor in why our interaction with this planet is often disruptive and upsetting to the stability of our lives – our lack of a conscious collective awareness casts a shadow over the entire process, it becomes chaotic, as does our future. Through the energy of Uranus evolution takes quantum leaps into the future and shatters the status quo but this is not always a good thing (the mass murder and conquest of North and South American cultures after millennia of virtual paradise, for example) and it is never easy as massive shifts always entail massive consequences.

The outer planets represent collective shifts as the birth of conscious awareness in the collective mind initiates a new age and Uranus opens up a new dimension in our relationship with technology. The creation of technologies and breakthroughs in science which permit the sharing of ideas on a wider scale, starting with communication down a wire, occurred alongside the (re)discovery of Uranus and were the first steps taken into this new era. Uranus is the herald of an emerging (possibly technological) collective mind and its discovery initiates technological progress which leads to rapid sociological and collective changes, changes which are revolutionary in the beginning and then accelerate so fast they threaten to overtake our capacity to keep up with them. The discovery of the outer planets starting with Uranus also herald new dangers, especially in the beginning as the emergence of the collective, like birth, is a traumatic experience and is by no means guaranteed to have a happy ending. Each of the outer planets starting with Uranus adds a new dimension of experience to the awareness of the collective mind, offering a new pathway to transcendence of the physical world, but this transcendence is not always progressive – if the challenges of the outer planets are not met our civilisation destroys itself, which is a different kind of transcendence, a different kind of new era. Humanity has been before where it is now and the collective did not unite and attain cohesion, instead it fell in on itself and imploded beneath a series of catastrophes. We collectively buried and almost completely lost our memory of that time and had to start over. We are collectively now in the same danger, but this time the consequences will be far worse if we do not get it right. This is perhaps the most important message of all from these new worlds.

So, each of the outer planets – Uranus, Neptune and Pluto – offer individuals a path to transcendence, three different paths but each of the three leads to the same end, while at the same time they throw down a challenge to the collective that opens up three different paths to annihilation, tests it must pass in order to be born. The first of these paths, the path opened by Uranus, is the most magical path because it is the initial awakening which offers individuals the chance for greater freedom of the spirit and gifts the collective with lightning – technologies and new insights which further this freedom, often in radical and rapid ways, but the challenge is to pull together and forge a common identity in the collective psyche or it will fracture and fall into splinters. People need to overcome their individual differences, learn to tolerate different views and draw strength from diversity instead of needing to make it conform to any norms. We also need to claim greater responsibility over our inventive genius and learn to collectively discipline it before we let genies out of the bottle that we cannot put back in. We need to makes toys that are meaningful and help to solve intractable Saturnine problems and to use this magic to undo some of the karmic consequences we have shortsightedly caused. We need to understand that just because we can do a thing it doesn’t mean we should, and that some things are just not worth figuring out how to do. If we fail the challenge of Uranus its technological gifts become something which promote distance and a lack of real contact between people, they alienate us and make contact seem trivial instead of drawing us closer together, we lose control as technology overtakes our humanity and eventually we tear each other apart because we cannot exist together as people, nor cope with our newfound freedoms: society fails and breaks down into factions, and technology plays into our undoing rather than our liberation.

In order to have a robust and healthy collective awareness a species must have a strong self identity; it must have in its spirit a flexible and adaptable but resolute and impossible to remove awareness of its own nature and its place in nature. For this reason the lessons of Saturn in the natural order are a pre-requisite for a stable collective awareness and form the basis upon which the connection with Uranus depends. The transition from the more limiting and restrictive awareness signified by Saturn to the freedom and awakening signified by Uranus is made via a transition through the pain of perceived separation into a greater wisdom symbolised by Chiron. A symbolic death must occur and a false immortality sacrificed before it is attained.

At the personal level this journey with Uranus therefore symbolises the urge to find ones individuality within the collective human experience, our individual freedom of expression in context with the collective human mind. It manifests itself through the shattering of conventional boundaries which lead to sudden illumination, a lightning bolt, primarily spreading through new scientific and technological innovations which change the collective, and through unorthodox, rebellious, and unruly or insubordinate behaviour. It is the urge and the capacity in humanity to suddenly break free from outmoded patterns and concepts and embrace a completely new paradigm, the inclination to futures imagined and the awareness that science fictions are magical apparitions on the horizon of science fact. Its placement by sign describes the process through which the generation concerned will seek to radically change, inspire and renew the collective of humanity, often coincident with scientific or social revolution.

Given that Uranus has an orbit of about 84 years it will appear in this sign once every century, twice if it occurs at the beginning or end of centuries. With every century that passes, however, each time it will seem to be in a slightly different part of the celestial sky, because of precession. For example, when Uranus entered zodiacal Scorpio in 539 BC it was among the stars of Scorpius, but by the time of Christ it has moved back to be among the stars of Libra. While in zodiacal Scorpio it has been mostly among the stars of Libra for many centuries now and so in our current era this gives this Uranus a need to weigh and balance things. There is something very impartial and judgemental placed in the background of the Scorpio intensity and passion, a desire to maintain objectivity and composure. This is a feature that has shaped Uranus in Scorpio over many hundreds of years. Indeed, it has shaped everything that happens in zodiacal Scorpio.

Here is over 1000 years of the pattern of Uranus in Scorpio, all of which involve Uranus moving through the stars of Libra:

Let’s look at some of these segments of human history and see examples of what we can find going on in these periods. We should be looking for technological, sociological and scientific breakthroughs, upheavals and revolutions caused by these things, icons, ‘firsts’, the role of mass media or (before the rise of mass media) a ‘buzz’ that grips the human collective and the patterns of themes that connect these things through time.

• 1053 – 1060: crossbow invented in France; the Great Schism, in which the Western (Roman Catholic) and Eastern Orthodox churches separated from each other; a large supernova is observed by astronomers, the remnants of which would form the Crab Nebula; Chinese scientist Shen Kuo creates a theory for land formation, or geomorphology, theorized that climate change occurred over time, discovers the concept of true north, improves the design of the astronomical sighting tube to view the polestar indefinitely, hypothesizes the retrogradation theory of planetary motion, and by observing the lunar and solar eclipses he theorises that the Sun and Moon are spherical. Shen Kuo also experimented with camera obscura.

• 1555 – 1563 Floating dock in Venice, Venetian Republic; The Shaanxi Earthquake in China is history’s deadliest known earthquake; Georgius Agricola, the “Father of Mineralogy”, publishes his De re metallica; Elizabeth Tudor becomes Queen Elizabeth I at age 25; Queen Elizabeth I of England establishes the Church of England; the first printing press in India is introduced by Jesuits at Saint Paul’s College, Goa; Spain becomes bankrupt, throwing the German banking houses into chaos.

Looking over this list of events we can see some themes emerging – in religion major churches or citadels are built or established, or they schism or collapse; there are horrific massacres taking place and blood is flowing in the dark and gory tales we tell, one might even say we see the emergence of legendary monsters from within our own ranks; spectacular explosions in space are witnessed; weapons of mass destruction – especially missiles – are created as the development of the notion of ‘death teleportation’ (causing death from afar) advances; the banking system is involved in scandal, death or chaos; progress is made with printing and recording technology and this technology often becomes instrumental in causing revolutionary changes in crime detection as well as arousing concern in society about privacy; the study and implementation of radioactive power sources and thermal technology advances; disposable mass conveniences are created (tin can, ring pull, toilet paper); issues involving gender and sexuality move forwards or become more radicalised; body sculpting and alteration develops and significant points in occult history are passed.

All these themes resonate with the influence of Uranus in Scorpio. They are some of the memes which this cohort inherits from human history and will advance the story of during the course of their lives, according to the choices they make together with the rest of us. They are examples of the kind of new things that will occur that cause them to suddenly wake up and take notice of the human race. In the modern day many of these themes have reached a critical boiling point and the passage of Uranus through Taurus to come over the next decade is going to cause these situations to catalyse. There is a conditioning in us to herald technology as a saviour, a drive in society towards a dark technocracy. This is what dawns in the awareness of the generation presently alive and born with Uranus in Scorpio. It is about to reach an apex of development as Uranus is proceeding towards Taurus. As they reach the Uranus half return, this tribe will play an important role in exposing the nature and threat of this dark drive towards technological utopia. The revelations that are already in play (placed there recently by Saturn in Scorpio, leading to Snowden and now the Panama Papers), are just the beginning. Whenever there is activity in the Fixed or Stable signs, especially Scorpio, this theme of a dark technological future presents itself strongly. This is because it literally activates the Uranus in Scorpio generation. And its not just about privacy – we can also see the other themes of Uranus in Scorpio reaching a major turning point – the zealously driven and fractious religious crusades, the terrible power of mass executions (once millions of people at the hands of Ivan, now single individuals whose death is witnessed by millions), the dangers of radiation in water and electromagnetic pollution in our astral bodies, the rise of women to power, the sexual revolution, the exposure of ancient rot, revolting perversion and corruption in the Church and the banking system (long known as open secrets, which are so very Uranus in Scorpio), the explosion in publication technology that this journal is a tiny part of and other themes from the pattern are being shuffled into place for an upcoming climax. That showdown will be about the battle between personal privacies and public security. It will involve the shadowy worlds of financial dealings, surveillance technology, the sex trade, the dark web and the threat of mass destruction. It is in many ways the time this clan have been waiting for. They have always been poised to wade in and bring massive transformation, and this period will awaken that charge to a higher degree of urgency and alarm.

This is a tribe of Uranian individuals who will experience highly-charged emotions and a quickening astral awakening in their lives. They will hold many innovative but shocking ideas about intense and radical visceral change. Today, many of them are aware on a deep level of the fact that human civilisation faces its end from a multitude of sources, mostly of its own creation. The unpredictable future seems to hold a certainty of extinction. They sense psychically that a new paradigm is emerging in the face of this imminent calamity, either to face it before it arrives or in the wake of its inevitable arrival. But what it exactly is, they cannot discern from among all the conspiracy theories and extreme possibilities. They become suspicious, and ‘trust no one’. This is a generation that unveils mysteries and easily gains insight into their connective nature – the way the clues add up to a deeper insight – but it does not possess the instinct to solve the riddles it awakens. Thus, they can drive themselves insane with darker and darker possibilities as they try to figure it all out, growing steadily more paranoid as they wonder about what others know that they do not. Since Uranian energy tends to manifest itself through the intervention of new technologies, this is a generation to enjoy the freedom of contraception, the widespread use of life resuscitation technology, X-rays, the initial awakening of artificial intelligence and the benefits of scientific advances in the treatment of fatal conditions, as well as the spread of occult networks and organisations.

The Uranus in Scorpio generation will seek to search for its individuality and greater freedom through diverse experience which centres on a need for intense emotional empowerment of the individual, seeking to transcend the physical and emotional limitations of material existence – the awakening of emotional passion and sexual liberation, experimentation with emotionally intense drugs and the collective urge to investigate occult or hidden truths. Scorpio describes an inner drive which penetrates deeply into the core of the emotional self in order to experience a rebirth through the consuming fires of intensity. It is the urge to seek total and intense personal union with an emotionally powerful transformation, whether this is through sexual intercourse, narcotic hyper awareness, occult knowledge or extreme sports. Scorpio gives birth to the astral and therefore Uranus in Scorpio is reddened up to its elbows in the surgery of waking the human soul up. The presence of Uranus here describes a generation with the urge to push mankind into a penetration of all taboos relating to life, sex and death and the urge to resurrect our own innate awareness of our supremacy over our astral experience through the power of willpower, particularly within these Scorpio areas. It is a generation who bring a time when sex itself comes out of hiding, is more visible in all its diversity and flashing its way across every electrical device it can. It has an emotionally shocking quality to it. ‘Perversity’ is a word used to describe this behaviour by those who are not ready for it. Indeed, for many in such a generation, being individualistic (weird, off-centre, or into unusual taboos), is in itself sexy. Uranus in Scorpio thinks it is cool to be weird and passionate, and the taboo is awakening to their human spirit.

Members of this generation will therefore seek to express their sexuality in unique and unconventional ways, with the aim of liberating the human psyche from its own repressed libido; much overt sexual discrimination will pass into history (i.e. become unconventional) through the actions of this generation and more acceptance of the diverse expression of sexuality that exists across the scope of human experience will be a major focus of adolescent rebellion and consequent adult youth. Uranus here is all about the liberation and freedom of sexuality, the spread of pornography on the internet, the removal of vibrators from closets and the popularity of orgies and open sexual relationships.

We like it as ladybirds…

By the time everyone in the current generation has passed their Uranus half return (about age 42 in the mid 2020s) the dominant paradigm of conventional sexuality they were born unwittingly into is irreversibly overturned, the heterosexual monopoly over marriage will be a relic of the past and society will be absorbing the shockwaves, ready for the next time Uranus enters Scorpio and a new wave of sexual freedom begins. And what then? Probably something to do with VR sex, or robot equality – something we have to struggle with accepting as ‘the new normal’. So for anyone interested in the history of sex, the list above is recommended as a place to begin. Its not just about what happens to sexual attitudes in these periods, its about who is born into them and what they do later, so the effects are sometimes seen later.

Many of this tribe will also seek the freedom of the self not just through sexual communion but through knowledge of occult subjects and probing hidden or taboo areas. The psychic perception centre (third eye in the brow, named Ajna) is often electrified by Uranus in Scorpio, and remarkably penetrating but brief flashes of psychic insight into the astral realm are one of their common magical aptitudes. It may happen that they simply know deeply mysterious things in a shocking, startling and surprising way. The occult can suddenly blindside them and derail their lives, leading them through a maze of darkness or causing a radical life change. More of them than is the norm will even have the ability to pierce the shroud that lies between the living and the recently dead, being able to see and communicate with those on the other side, feeling their presence observing the living, although few will recognise this for what it is. Those with this gift may not understand this until they are older, but as children they may express surprise that not everyone can interact with the invisible worlds. Many need to learn how to protect themselves from less wholesome entities which lurk within these realms and in our world. Environment is key, because it will shape the developing psychic awareness.

While there are many among them who practice safely and compassionately, the darker side of the occult – and by this it is meant black magic, mass manipulation, murderous conspiracies, paranoid factions, black-ops, demonic cults, uncontrolled spirit summoning (possession and exorcism), cursing and psychic attack, The Templars! etc. – generally the idea or the actual use of power for selfish gain with no thought to the consequences – may all prove spellbinding to this generation. There is great wisdom in the words “a little knowledge is a dangerous thing”. Intense and profoundly deep insanity is also signified by Uranus in Scorpio and is often caused by deep shock, an inability to adjust to the pace of societal changes. As stated many of this generation have an awareness of the impending end of civilisation in some kind of intense supernova clusterfuck, and for some this is so deeply felt that it causes mental and emotional disturbance. For others, the disturbance is triggered by the enormous pressure in the media to be a sexually liberated, independent, notable individual, the constant exposure to violence in computer games and special effects technology, or the awakening to the adult sexual world at an early age. This disturbance is rarely overt, and is most often hidden, but is always there. Human society is dangerously deranged, and this generation knows it, they feel its consequences as individuals caught in a collective doom. The question is, what will each person do with this?

Those of this generation who have learned to handle their passionate emotions and their drive to experience individual power, the individuals who are committed to a profound societal change which truly benefits the human race and the Earth, and those who express their individual self with the collective in an effort to change whatever can be changed before disaster strikes us all, these individuals are able to become exceptionally aware of their psychic faculties and will face the challenges of our collective future with little to no fear of what is to come. Indeed, many will come to relish the chance to begin again and complain it is happening too slowly. They are those whose passionate need for astral freedom is a force to be reckoned with, not a force to reckon with them.

Whilst this placement of Uranus is a powerful indication of potential mass transcendence and transformation occurring through the actions of this generation of souls, it will be much more prominent and powerful in the lives of those who are also Scorpio by Sun or Moon or rising sign, or in the charts of those who have this Uranus in the 1st temple, and/or aspecting the Sun, Moon, ascendant or ruler of the ascendant. These ones are the core of this generation, the revolutionary thinkers, electrical inventors, and the individuals with a profound insight into the mass mind – all individuals who in some way seek to revive the human spirit by pouring cosmic waters upon it. Yet, they will also be the ones with the most eccentricities and the greatest sense of social alienation, except when together, where they tend to feel inexplicable bonds of deep and intense passion.

This generation clashes and produces sparks when pitted against generations of Uranus in Leo (June 1956 – August 1962) or Aquarius (January 1996 – March 2003), and can have a contentious if complementary interaction with Uranus in Taurus (April 1935 – May 1942). Individuals who have an emphasis on these signs can motivate and activate the potential of Uranus in Scorpio or complicate things and stand in the way of its efforts. It is these kinds of people that the Uranus in Scorpio generation needs to find peace with, by finding a way to transform the differences into powerful strengths through co-operation. On the other hand, this clan walks hand in hand with the clans of Uranus in Cancer (June 1949 – June 1956) and Uranus in Pisces (March 2003 – March 2011), and together they hold the power to awaken the astral awareness of the human collective. Working together, these clans solve the mystery of what we feel and why we feel it, and they pour upon the human spirit a nurturing love, passions and a feeling of ‘humanness’. Individuals with an emphasis on these signs can offer significant support to this generation in the development of their agenda. Additionally, the generations of Uranus in Virgo (August 1962 – August 1968) and Uranus in Capricorn (December 1988 – January 1996) or individuals with an emphasis in these signs can act to stimulate and arouse the power of this tribe, and vice versa.

In summation, fearlessness, especially of individual death, great gains and losses, dramatic strength of character, intense depth of self knowledge, love of both mystery and ‘open secrets’, detection, intrigue and the unknown, erotic rebelliousness, peculiar or collective death and sexual liberty and freedom are common manifestations of this Uranus. It calls its people and the rest of us to explore deep and awakened passionate feelings and to bond emotionally with others on a level most people cannot fathom. To understand where all this will be focused, into which area of life it will apply and be encountered, we must consider the temple position of Uranus, but we can say wherever it falls Uranus in Scorpio shockingly brings to light a darkness in the human psyche and illuminates the strange astral connection between perversity and repression, leading to a liberation from bondage and hidden forces. In every way, it is a tribe who live through an era of deep, naked secrets being unearthed, from occult revelations to supernovas, from surveillance technology to porn sites, and they have a mission not to solve the enigmas these secrets unearth, but simply to look deeply into them to unveil those parts of the human psyche that would otherwise remain shrouded in the forbidden.
