Interesting idea, so now we have something concerning rebuilding that is not Plutonian. ^.^
Reading carefully some of Greene's negative comments about Aquarius, and agreeing the if we read all she has to say, the picture will be balanced, I would still wonder where this is coming from if I think only of Uranus
I want everyone to read this about five times aloud to themselves and really, really think about what Gaer is saying here. Here is the epitome of the X=Y=Z mentality of talked about in other threads.
"I would still wonder where this is coming from if I think only of Uranus."
This is too brilliant of an idea. When discussing planets, especially the Outers, we too often bring up their supposed ruling Sign and connect the two in such ways that they become inseperable as well. X=Y. Sign=Planet. Aquarius=Uranus. They have become the same entity, when they are supposed to be two very separate individuals. Just because a planet is said to rule a Sign does not mean the planet has no personality of its own.
"Aquarius is a humanitarian, so Uranus must be too." "Aquarius has to do with logic, so Uranus must have this connection also." No, I don't think so. I would have enjoyed Uranus in the age of original thought where he could have developed a personality that is separate (but perhaps crosses over) from his supposed ruling Sign.
Personally, I only think of a few things concerning Uranus.
1.) I think Uranus is the embodiment of luck and chance. Not good luck, not bad luck. Just neutral luck. He can bring us disaster or he can bring us riches. I guess this most easily fits in with Uranus being 'unpredictable', but I honestly do not agree with this. I find it very difficult to believe that such a 'heavy' planet can suddenly decide to turn left when he was going right, seems very ironic to me.
2.) I totally agree with Shining Ray's assessment of Uranus as a cold planet. Uranus is distant, he doesn't like to get involved. The sky is above us, looking down on us and observing. It's only involved when it feels it must be through predictable weather patterns, but for the most part the sky leaves us alone. Uranus may help out (give rain), but I can't see this planet being very involved in any sort of project or anything that requires a sort of personal investment.
3.) Perhaps the idea of Uranus' randomness is misunderstood. What if Uranus' power is that of chance, and as such he has the power to mix it all around and choose which ultimate outcome he would prefer us to have, which is then augmented by his relationship to the rest of the planets. (Positive aspects to beneficial planets would bring up a better ending than hard aspects to afflicted plantes)
I hope some of that made sense. Feel free to agree, disagree, question, or anything to any of my ideas above. Since this is a discussion of the planet Uranus I thought it'd be helpful to attempt to discuss Uranus himself and not this strange Aquranus hybrid creature we seem to want to discuss whenever either Uranus or Aquarius are invoked in a topic.

We have a long, long way to go before that, though it would be interesting to see how things change between Pisces/Virgo and Aquarius/Leo. Too bad we won't live to experiance it.
