Introduction to ‘Uranus Opposition’ in Astrology – The Call to Awaken the Higher Self

As an outer-system planet, Uranus takes just over 84 years to complete its orbit around the Sun. When we are born, the symbol Uranus is positioned at a specific location in our astrological birth charts. Taking around 7 years to pass through each sign, Uranus begins to move into the sign opposite its natural placement in our birth chart as we approach the age of 40 — thus the name Uranus Opposition. (Uranus Waxing occurs at 21 years, Uranus Waning at 63, and Uranus Return at 84.) Around the age of 38 or so, depending on the placement of Uranus in our chart, Uranus Opposition begins to set in motion bringing with it incredible opportunity for spiritual growth — a cycle that ends completely around the age of 44.

In astrological terms, Uranus represents our process of de-conditioning, its journey around the Sun reflects our lifelong journey of conditioning and liberation. The task of bringing ourselves into alignment with our destiny awaits us at our Uranus Opposition. Representing a crucial point in the awakening of our higher Self, this time-frame is one of the most significant astrological cycles we go through in our consistently awakening state — just as Saturn (particularly the Saturn Return) is an important time in our process of conscious awareness — and yet, this misunderstood period of time often brings more fracturing and trauma, at least in the short term, than it does access to our highest state of being.

In this article, we would like to bring into your awareness some of the deeper aspects of this life-changing cycle.
