These are global energies of uranus in Capricorn or in 10th House that must be nuanced according to your birth chart, see the article Uranus in birth chart; see also the article on the general interpretation of Uranus.
The planet uranus is one of the attributes of the Animus in the chart, as such it can indicate a Projection of it, in particular more especially the intellectual projections on “social entities” (political party, club, syndicate, nation, church, etc), all that concerns more directly the affirmation of the spirituality and the social vision of the native…
It informs about our need for freedom, independence, to go towards the new, to break the Saturnian framework, and to tend towards our deepest ideals. It materializes our intuition, it electrifies us, it questions everything that is too conventional.
The planet fundamentally represents an evolutionary breaking point, of revelation, of creation.
As Uranus stays for about 7 years per sign, its position in houses is more meaningful for the personality. The energy of the sign gives above all an elemental background coloring common to a generation, which will apply more personally to the area of life signified by the house. Therefore, focus first and foremost on the house affected, as the sign gives a background tone.
The duality of the spirit and matter
This is a strong position for Uranus to be in, where it may represent a sort of culmination or apogee of a cycle, where it greatly “electrifies” these people’s personalities as well as their lives, and where it may truly galvanize their investment in the collective sphere and their need for social achievement.
It may also have a more direct impact, as it leads to considerable instability and anticonformity, for example surrounding these people’s career: they may frequently work multiple jobs and wear multiple hats. They need to feel excitement and be involved in multiple ways, even if it means spreading themselves out as they go, though they may actually also have a quite “brilliant” or even visionary mind for their field of work.
This planetary positioning is directly aligned with Uranian air and Saturnian earth, and so these people have a huge amount of energy that may cause things to snap, since in a way their self-control clashes with their originality and eccentricity, giving them sudden impulses. Fortunately though, this can make them very productive and efficient and make it so that ideas and concepts can more easily and quickly translate into reality.
In terms of the myth of Prometheus, which I have mentioned in the last few articles on the various positions of this planet, this placement is more in keeping with Prometheus’s condemnation, when he is chained to the rock on Mount Caucasus, which symbolizes the need to solidify these Uranian energies in matter in order to give them a concrete, tangible form; they need to be “calmed down” and given structure.
Thus, we may find people with this planetary position who are inventors, pioneers, entrepreneurs who boldly and successfully execute their ideas, or even mystics who want to bring their faith face to face with reality through contact with social issues, as well as various artists who use their personal, off-the-wall style in whatever their specialties are.
With uranus in the 10th House / Capricorn, we could say that the “spirit / matter” duality is directly highlighted, and that these people will very probably ask themselves questions about these things throughout their lives and have to make a choice, since, as the Bible tells us, “No man can serve two masters, both God and Mammon,” and so each step that they take in one direction moves them farther from the other.
Let’s not forget that Capricorn is a sign that symbolizes “the hermit on the mountain” and that the planet Uranus is a synonym for a spontaneous, sudden awakening of one’s metaphysical side, so this mixture is far from insignificant: it may “raise” these people up in terms of fame and influence, and also on a spiritual, mystical, and sometimes even fanatical level.
Here, this planet may thus be directly linked to these people’s destiny, and so it’s obviously important to find a way of expressing it as consciously as possible. Uranian energies are present in quite a few different analogies. For example, they are linked to electricity, the internet and computer science, technology, motors, rapid transit, anything related to space or involving magnetism, and astrology, so all of these different areas may be helpful for these people, but it’s also important to keep in mind two common themes: the notions of “liveliness” and “polarity”.
The main fuel that this planet runs on is also of course freedom, and the notions of independence and autonomy may important goals for these energies, which reach their climax here in the social hemisphere and have trouble fitting into boxes or bending to fit the system. As a result, these people run the risk of being marginalized in a way and of being somewhat divisive. This is not a problem for them, however: they frequently put their foot in their mouth, and in fact like to do so and take full responsibility for what they say ! (Instead, the worst thing for them is others not seeing how they are “different”.)
With this position, the notions of “networking,” fraternity, community, and friendship may be much more important, so these people may for example be members of the Freemasons or of various religions or associations (like Tom Cruise with Scientology, or various religious figures). They seek out sources of support, and become socially indebted to certain third parties and “mentors”.
On the other hand, still similarly to people with this planet in other positions, the notion of confrontation with authority is extremely relevant, as Uranus represents revolutionary energies that turn the tables. In addition, the “king’s throne” may frequently be contested; these people may often seek to become the Caliph in the Caliph’s stead, and the effects of this may often be felt from a very young age through their relationship with their father figure.
Unfortunately, the pitfall of this planetary positioning is its instability, excessiveness, and impulsiveness, as well as a sort of internal violence which is not necessarily easy to find a way of expressing. These people may be very “blunt” and brusque, without necessarily realizing it, but in any case they come across as cold and uncompromising, which may condemn them to being marginalized.
It’s very important for them to avoid any routines that might limit their ability to evolve, since otherwise their highly developed, keen mind may atrophy and this may translate into various psychosomatic issues. On the contrary, the difficulty for them lies in knowing how to listen to their instincts and strategically plan for things to come to fruition.
With this position, people’s duties, position, and rank in society may take over other areas of their lives, and they have a higher risk of burning out and of intellectualizing their problems.
For that matter, in uranus’s generic astrological cycle, its opposition with its position at birth, around the age of 42, may be a particularly sensitive period of time in these people’s lives; here in these angular sectors, this may also signal a dramatic change in their role in society.
Uranus retrograde in the 10th House and Capricorn
Uranus’s Retrograde motion in this sign is mostly positive, because it tends to channel this planet’s energies, making them more balanced and much more strategic. These people may have a more significant material side, but they also have more patience and perseverance.
Uranus’s retrograde motion in one’s birth chart is much less important than for other planets, since it’s a slow, transpersonal planet, and it’s retrograde for more than a third of the year (about 5 months).
Nevertheless, it’s useful to monitor the evolution of this retrograde motion through Progressions. Changes that occur here may not necessarily give rise to specific, noteworthy events, but they may indicate a non-negligible psychological change in how this planet’s energies are used.
