Yes, and heir to the throne, with Ouranos deposed by Saturn.
Not heir to the throne, but successor to the ROLE of the deity who PERSONIFIES the Heavens. Interesting that the original goddess associated with the Planet now known as Venus, was the Ancient Sumerian goddess Inanna/Ishtar, "Queen of the Heavens", which means Urania acknowledges Venus as her designated monarch. And, when the god Ouranos was deposed, his power, represented by his genitals, was cast into the sea, and resulted in the creation of the Greco-Roman goddess Aphrodite/Venus. So, Urania portraying the Heavens, and Venus representative of Heavenly rulership. Makes Venus in Aquarius and Ouranos in Libra especially significant. Just noticed, Ouranos was in Libra from late 1968 through early 1975. There was that strong sense that it was the "Dawning of the Age of Aquarius". And, Venus is the Motivator for the transition into the Age. That was when I became hooked on Astrology. After 1975, the Aquarian Age movement was hijacked by the "New Age Movement", which I never felt was really about the Age of Aquarius, but was more of a marketing tool.
