These are global energies of uranus in Virgo or in 6th 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.
A nervous and unstable social role
Uranus, the planet of originality, quirkiness, and sometimes even eccentricity, finds itself highly restrained in this Earth sector, which is generally fairly timid and focused on self-control.
This planet generally calls on people to break with convention and be iconoclastic, whereas here it finds itself needing to serve, help, and advise others, but sometimes this puts it in a subordinate position which does not suit its needs and which leads these people to feel the need to break away from the system and its rules.
That said, Virgo also has the ability to activate these people’s “crazy Virgo” side, where all of their inhibitions and self-control are taken away and they show a side of themselves that is totally unlike what we usually see. This planetary positioning is particularly prone to awakening this explosive side.
With this position, people’s work, or more generally the way in which they feel socially useful, is highly significant. For example, these people may want to encourage originality, altruism, and a feeling of freedom and independence in this context. This may be tricky, however, as they may be required to explain themselves and get the approval of some hierarchical structure, potentially even being co-opted in the process, and they will have to watch out for any kind of subordination (whether they are subordinating others or being subordinated), because this planet is inherently “charged” with energies that may push things to a breaking point (potentially even violently).
The challenge for these people is really finding the right way of expressing this planet, so that it isn’t too excessive (in either direction), by truly trusting in both themselves and others who are part of their social investments, but this may be quite rewarding in the long term because this planet is always full of surprises !
That hardest thing for these people is truly listening to their intuition, ambitions, and feelings; they may take a path that seems more non-conformist to them and which they are attracted to in a way, but this may also stir up various fears in them.
In addition, they may have an intense need to be emancipated and break from the chains that bind them, and it may in fact represent a kind of fundamental goal for them to rebel against the establishment, the system, or their boss. But access to freedom is not necessarily easy for them to attain, since they are likely to remain highly influenced “by others” : we are far from Aries’s individualism here.
Having this position may also lead to more instability at work. These people have trouble building something over a long period of time, and they may flit around from job to job, resign on a whim, and show up in unexpected places, especially if they have not found “their niche” ! But this is not necessarily a bad thing, since they may actually need to try out a huge number of things to find out for themselves what they want to share with the world through their work from a social point of view.
People with this planet here may also have a deep need to feel useful, and so they are deeply afraid of feeling useless, having nothing to do, or waiting for something, and they also need to be careful not to overwork themselves, as they are prone to do, and instead take care to take time for themselves to breath, meditate, disconnect from their various social and professional obligations, and not let their entire life get swallowed up by their “duties”.
Having Uranus in the 6th House / Virgo promotes anything that relates to uranus’s domains, and so these people may encounter new technology, inventions, the internet, computer science, electricity, fast displacements, magnetism, or even astrology in their lives. Since this position may also involve some of Virgo’s prerogatives, it may also relate more generally to personal development, nutrition, management, etc.
In addition, volunteering, charity work, or anything else related to altruism may be of interest for people with this sort of planetary positioning, since it would allow for a positive expression of their Uranian characteristics.
Unfortunately, since this sector relates to health, this planet may activate various nervous or anxiety (psychosomatic) issues here. The notion of a “crisis” is inherent to this planet, and it may for example lead to sudden, incomprehensible problems as it’s activated in different ways over time (it’s particularly important to monitor the period of Uranus’s opposition with its natal position, as this marks a significant mid-life crisis—around 42 years old—which may “reveal” a variety of things). Beware of “work-related accidents”, which may be more significant and violent with this position and may represent an important turning point, with very “revealing” before / after periods.
Uranus retrograde in the 6th House and Virgo
Uranus’s Retrograde motion in this position has a tendency to significantly strengthen earth’s restrictions of these people’s Uranian energies, which makes these energies more difficult to externalize and makes it harder for people to listen to their intuition, but also leads to greater stability and durability.
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.
