Uranus: Rulerships

Orthodox: Aquarius

Uranus—Ray Seven—The will to be and to know simultaneously on all planes of manifestation. … Uranus gives innate spontaneous activity and this produces evolutionary development—both natural and spiritual. It is the urge to better conditions. (EA 139)

[the seventh ray is also] linked with the incoming Aquarian influence, [with one of the personal qualities needed to work with this energy being a willingness] to work in a group as an integral part of the group, …having no idea of personal ambition or any wish to be a leader. —Edited from Bailey, Esoteric Psychology II, p145–6

Esoteric: Libra

A sense of radical justice, of impersonal accuracy of judgement—the “fair witness”.

Hierarchical: Aries

Shared between Libra-Aries: The methodical instigation of new structures and necessary conceptual change, the establishing of inner templates and mental patterns for coming developments.

The background to Ray 3 and Uranus as polar pair Aries-Libra esoteric and hierarchical rulers:

Alcyone impregnated the substance of the universe with the quality of mind. As a consequence of this most ancient activity, the same force was present at the time of individualisation in this solar system, for it is in this system, and primarily upon our planet, the Earth, that the major results of that early activity have made themselves felt. Two of our planets, the Earth (non-sacred) and Uranus (sacred), are directly the product of this third ray activity. (EA 200)

Uranus decanates

In conventional astrology, decanates simply follow the rulerships of each elemental triad, but Esoteric Astrology has inconsistent information. See notes about the decanates, and the “decans” tab under each sign.

Uranus Dignities

Exaltation in Scorpio

The task of Uranus, hidden in the depths [fall in Taurus], is to awaken and evoke the intuitive response to an ever-increasing light until such time that full illumination is achieved and also the development of the spiritual consciousness—substituting these higher soul aspects for the lower form reactions. (…) Uranus… gives indication of the success of the task which the Uranian forces undertook. Achievement is attained. (EA 401)

Fall in Taurus

The presence… of the exalted Moon and the fallen Uranus gives a marvellous picture of [human] history during the stage of personality development and power. (…) Uranus, the planet of the hidden mystery and one of the most occult of the planets “falls” in this sign, producing the accentuation and the sharp division between body and soul which is so marked a characteristic of the Taurian subject. It [acts as preparation] for the sharp interplay and conflict in the next sign, Gemini. (EA 400-01)

Detriment in Leo
