Sun opposition Uranus

[lazarusx]

I realized something rather profound about myself today, and explanation of sorts as to why i prefer to 'drift' through life rather then 'commit' to anything.

I become stubborn when my freedom is threatened, if i sense im been tied down to someone or something i will immediately cut the connection, i like having the option of been able to walk away at any time.. this is not specific to relationships, it effects everything in my life.. from work to study to friends.

I've stayed in a casual job for three years now, because it's flexible and i can quit whenever and come back and i can call in sick if i need to without worry.. all of my study into various topics of interest have been personally researched, because again i have that freedom of been able to study on my own will. In relationships.. when i sense it becoming to intimate i cut them off because i feel my personal freedom is been threatened..

As i realized all of this, i checked my chart and made a pretty strong connection between this behavior and my Sun in opposition to Uranus, any one else with this aspect find a similar connection, any personal experiences or advice?

Yep, same here. We share a birthday, just not a year. I have my Cancer Sun in 5th house, squaring Uranus in Libra in the 7th. For years, I didn't even realise how this one played out for me but not too long ago somebody blatantly pointed it out to me. And yes, it's true. I need a lot of personal freedom. In my friendships, romantic relationships, work... If I feel trapped, I become erratic and start pushing people away (not always consciously).

I quit working my office job and started my own business. That helped a lot in the work department. I have no idea on how to deal with this in the relationship department. With my Venus squaring my Pluto (you also have this aspect), I tend to attract obsessive, possessive men. As you can imagine, this is problematic.

Curious to hear anybody else's input, as well.

YES!!!! Lazarusx, I identify strongly with all that you've posted as I also have my Sn. opp. my UR. I know that I would have much more friendships if I didn't always feel like my personal freedom was threatened; relationships take work and I think that I quietly ask myself that question when confronted with people who want to be a part of my life: Do I want this responsilbility? Because I feel badly when I flake so I try not to put myself in that position.

God Bless. Maybe we'll get better with age!

Yeah same, it wasn't until last night that i realized it myself after years of not really understanding why i pushed people away and avoided committing myself to anything that i felt threatened my freedom.

Hehe, yes.. very much so; i often attract emotionally unstable women that can be very possessive and once i see this i run for the hills. I've often been called 'cold or detached' by some people because i keep a distance from myself and them, and although i may appear like this.. underneath i often feel an incredible depth of emotion and empathy for those around me.. lol talk about conflicting. "I'll love you from a distance.. ok!"

Wow, this reminds me so much of myself.. a relationship is serious business to me because it means i have to take on the responsibility of been an intimate part of another person's life, and them mine.. which means compromising and giving up certain freedoms.. which can be very intimidating to me, because the thought of been bound to anything or anyone terrifies me.

I often ask myself the same question, it has to be all or nothing for me.. and if i dont feel it's worth giving up aspects of my freedom, i wouldn't want to string them on.. it's difficult, i guess it may come with age.

Thank-you both for your reply's, despite the negatives of this aspect i feel rather satisfied in understanding why i need such an enormous amount of freedom, this was a huge blackhole in my life for years.. everyone around me embraced close friendships whereas i always distanced myself, which lead to alot of confusion..

Look at quincunx of Venus and Uranus.

Look for Uranus, Saturn and Neptune conjunction.

Yours is a see-saw chart between cancer and capricorn. So family matters and career may always 'swing'

Sun is also opp saturn and neptune - this is a difficult stellium
If Saturn and Uranus fall in the same sign or house we get caught in a cleft stick, wanting to make changes but fearing to let go of the old.
Whilst Saturn conj Neptune can cause depression, and having your dreams, aspirations (neptune) in childhood squashed by an authority figure/parent/father in particular...

Chiron also conj sun, suggests a wound in childhood, prob via a male and your self esteem, values and beliefs.

Sun opp Uranus suggests impatience (I have the square) and wanting to do something unsual that feeds the pride, ego and self, as well as wanting the freedom to what you please.

Sun opposition Uranus
The Sun opposes Uranus suggesting a situation in which self-will and independence is strongly marked. You sometimes act to create excitement and controversy. You can be hard to deal with because of sudden changes in behavior, eccentric notions, and viewing everything from a personal point of view. This confrontation with Uranus will set off times in your life when you will be high-strung and have a nervous disposition. You are very original, but also a little impractical.

Sun in Opposition to Uranus
You experience some inner conflicts whenever you try to integrate your unique individualism with the other part of you that feels it must gain the approval of others. You have a talent for shaking up other people's comfort zones. The assignment that comes with this aspect is to express your need for freedom and originality without unduly alienating those would help further your aims.

i always behave terribly when i feel trapped,i detach completely from the situation emotionally, and if i cant ''escape'' i can even get to the point of destroing everything that gets in my way. I have sun conjuction uranus which is supposed to be more harmonic aspect than opposition or square???

When a sun sign is conjunct a heavyweight planet from Saturn onwards, ie: Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, that sun person automatically becomes and honorary Saturian, Uranian, Neptunian and Plutonian cos the contact with very strong

This makes you more 'eccentric' and possibly difficult espec in later life

[desperateneptune]

i guess i ll become a crazy old woman!!!!you are absolutely right as time goes by i become more and more my way or the highway, but i thought that this was the ''harmonious'' effect and that square or opposition would make people go out wearing 3 hats one on top of the other

Wow, you hit the nail on the head with every aspect!

Is this something that i may have to struggle with for the first half of my life before i can begin to see some form of resolution, maybe after my Saturn return? Im feel utterly exhausted with everything.. i think one day the impatience from my Sun opp Uranus will just explode and everything will be turned on its head.. heh.

Thanks for the help as always astrologer50 .

No conjunctions can be good OR bad, all depends on the planets involved and the outers, really can overshadow the inners (sun through to mars)

lazarusx, it only with age, experience and patience can be evolve into better human beings. If you research and study 'progressions' this shows how and when we make changes.....

progressed planets
http://www.astrologyweekly.com/forum/showpost.php?p=266189&postcount=8

progressed planets/charts are more 'internal' changes, evolvements rather than 'events or external' matters. I don't read prog charts as stand alones it's more important to see where these planets are moving in the natal chart

Your natal chart is like a photograph as unique as your fingerprint, BUT the 10planets in the sky have not stayed where they were in your natal chart, they have all moved. Predictive astrology is mostly maths where those 10planets are now and the mathematical aspects they make to your natal charts ie: 180'=opposition, 90'=square, 60'=sextile and 120'=trine.

So your personality, grows, develops, changes, matures as we get older, this is reflected by your sun sign changing from it's natal position to the next sign along, so does your Asc and MC sign change. In fact from sun to mars especially are important, as the outer planets really don't move much, using a 'day for a year' secondary progressions.

[lazarusx]

Whoa, i hadn't looked into progressions with too much depth, just glanced over it.. this opens up a whole new way of looking at my natal chart, im surprised i hadn't done more research into this earlier.. My Sun sign has just progressed into 0 Degree's Leo, coincidentally my life in the last year has felt like it's been completely turned upside down, friends, work, lifestyle have all slipped away..

I'll have to read into this some more, Thankyou!
