I find it hugely relevant to what I am currently experiencing. I have an Aquarius ascendant with Uranus as the ruler in the 10th house, which squares Venus and closely trine Mercury. The quick mind has always been an asset (Mercury in Aries), but periodical mental stress and information overload is not at all uncommon. Last year when transiting Uranus conjuncted my Sun, it definitely revealed a few flashes of insight, but like you described in your other post on Uranus, it tends to deliver the package but leave out the instructions. Ever since then, I have been on a path to uncover the mysteries and whys, and that is also when I got into studying astrology. I do sometimes feel like an outsider. The thing you believe to know or to be true can only be attested throughout time. And it rarely marries the present reality. So people do think you are off and the worst is, you become to doubt yourself. Thanks for this post, it has helped me with understanding my experience better and consequently be more accepting towards it. Thanks for this interesting article Dawn.

It definitely resonates well with someone I have been dealing with a lot lately. However, his chart is more plutonian and that too the pluto being in virgo. And I thought my own sun opposite pluto in natal is bad :P phew! I guess it can get worse with other people! :P Ah yes! i meant the same :) Thank you for the prompt and ellaborate response… It definitely resonates well with someone I have been dealing with a lot lately.

Are you talking about having the Moon natally conjunct a Uranus/Pluto conjunction? This is difficult to interpret, because it depends on whether Uranus or Pluto is the more dominant planet in the natal chart. But it's good to start with thinking of Uranus/Pluto as a unit--or at least, as a unit with a massive internal war going on. Uranus strips us clean of the past and Pluto makes sure that we're on a pure course as far as the soul is concerned. Having the Moon, that planet of attachment , comfort, and habit, there would be very wearing on the Moon. The energy would be so intense, and so focused, that the easiest way to deal with it would be to turn it outward, to fight for a cause, to use rebellion and reform for a purpose. Otherwise, this combination has the potential to be very destructive (mainly self-destructive). Fortunately, the Pluto/Uranus in Virgo generation had the Virgoan zeal to 'clean up' whatever came their way--much less 'me' oriented than the Pluto and Uranus in Leo generation who came before them. But no matter what, the urge to detach and then turn things inside out is a rough one, and comfort would have to be taken where it could be found. Hi, Amrit.

Indeed! i witnessed this via a uranus/ jupiter transit . The unexpected gifts of uranus were built on the bones of sorrow in the months prior to the transit :) as usual I loved this piece dawn. However, I was wondering how would natal moon conjunct uranus manifest with moon conjunct pluto in an individual? Is the uranian indifference overpowered by pluto in this case? “No matter what happened afterwards and how it had to be processed for you to squeeze wisdom out of it, Uranus was first responsible for taking away something–and taking it away suddenly and unexpectedly.”

We will have to come to terms with our Uranian loss, which is often traumatic. Uranus in aspect to the Moon, Sun, Venus or Mars can be especially traumatic, because it will divorce us from what is our birthright as human beings--the right to be authentic and to express ourselves and connect with others in a genuine way. Often, with Uranus, we believe we are detached or just don't care. And then later, usually around the time of the Uranus/Uranus opposition, we find that it matters very much, and we go around trying to pick up whatever shards are left of our authentic selves. Sometimes it comes back to us just as quickly as it was taken away, especially during a Uranus transit.

When an outer planet aspects one of the lights, especially in conjunction, the light becomes a superhighway to the strongest expression of that planet. The light's expression is filtered through that planet, and it's not uncommon for that planet to dominate in expression. For example, if you have Moon/Uranus or Sun/Uranus, you might be taken for an Aquarian by others. We may not feel it ourselves, but other people will pick up very strongly on that vibe. That's because it's so big and so influential that we don't really grasp it, it's as if the light hijacks it for its own purposes. With Moon/Uranus, we are instinctively drawn to circumstances which will continue to develop the Uranian in us, and these circumstances will dominate our lives and our worldview. For example, Moon/Uranus may start out feeling an outsider within its own family and grow up in insecure circumstances; as it grows, it grows more comfortable with the outsider status and may see the world in a unique way. The world then responds by gifting Uranus with opportunities to release whatever is holding it back, so that it can progress in its wisdom at an accelerated rate, unfettered by convention. Uranus then learns to navigate both the conventional worlds and the Uranian one, so that it might bring improvements into the lives of others. We learn to nurture ourselves and others in a new way..

I have the Moon/Uranus conjunction, too, so I understand what you mean about making a decision whether or not the expression of feelings is appropriate. Some would consider this cold or intellectual or distanced, but you're right, it doesn't lessen the feelings and emotional responses themselves. There is a distance involved (as always with Uranus) which allows a perspective. And yes, there is always the possibility of, as your son so colorfully puts it, "complete and total instantaneous excommunication." It's a uniquely Moon/Uranus quality, which no one believes until they actually experience it. Moon/Uranus can cut the deepest of ties in an instant if the circumstances are right. Moon/Uranus is ultimately about getting rid of unnecessary attachment and moving on to the new. And sometimes it will do a lot of cutting along the way. No one gets in the way of Moon/Uranus and its future. Hi, Pam.

Having said that, I could go deeper still, and wouldn't mind at all being stretched more if you could provide it! I have Uranus conjunct moon, trine mercury, and sextile mars -the deeper, more challenging the concept the happier and better for me; I like to give my Uranian intuition a good, good work out! Go on, give it to me Dawn,please give me more - stretch me! Thanks, great post. I will be in touch soon for a synastry analysis. Regards, Sass Hi Dawn,
