The Wandering Stars
Uranus
The sudden sky, the bolt that breaks the settled pattern.
Uranus was discovered in 1781, the first planet found with a telescope. Modern astrology reads it as the principle of sudden change, invention, and rebellion, the shock that overturns what Saturn built. It moves slowly, so its sign placement colours a whole generation while its house and aspects mark where a life breaks from convention.
