Sun-Uranus

Sun-Uranus combines the central identity and mission associated with the Sun in one's chart with the movement toward freedom, rebellion, independence, and potential fickleness associated with the Uranus archetype.

This combination can be reflected in life as new and exciting (Uranus) angles on one’s identity (Sun) periodically flashing (Uranus) and shining (Sun), as the desire to be free (Uranus) to be oneself (Sun), as the identity (Sun) that is odd, eccentric and fickle (Uranus), and as the ability to identify (Sun) with that which is revolutionary, freeing, and technologically inventive (Uranus).

 

Below are examples of famous people born with this combination in their natal charts (natal chart is another word for astrological birth chart, or pictographic representation of the sky when they were born). When we witness how this combination shows up in the lives of others, we can become more self-aware of how this combination shows up in our own lives. The more we are conscious of the ways astrological alignments (otherwise known as “aspects”) show up in our lives, the more the archetypal tensions involved can become integrated in our lives, thus revealing inherent strengths to us.

Please note that the tension of this archetypal combination, as illustrated in the lives and creations of the famous people in the examples below, may be demonstrated in ways that are more integrated or less integrated.

  • The Sun-Uranus combination in the chart of Jiddu Krishnamurti can be seen in his fierce identification (Sun) with liberation (Uranus) from mental conditioning above all else. The singular importance (Sun) he placed on illuminating (Sun) this freedom (Uranus) can be seen in the titles of his books, “The First and Last Freedom,” and “The Only Revolution.”

 

  • The Sun-Uranus combination in the chart of philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre can be seen in his emphasis on an autonomy (Uranus) of will (Sun), and his search for freedom (Uranus) from cultural and social assumptions in order to experience an authentic way of being oneself (Sun).

  • We can see three different ways the Sun-Uranus combination can show up in these three different examples. The Sun-Uranus combination in the birth chart of Charlie Sheen reflects how the actor is known (Sun) for his erratic (Uranus) behavior. The Sun-Uranus combination in the birth chart of Simone de Beauvoir can be seen in her identity (Sun) as a revolutionary (Uranus) writer. The Sun-Uranus combination in the birth chart of Walt Disney can be seen in that his identity (Sun) is linked with his innovative nature (Uranus) as the innovator of the cartoon industry.

  • The Sun-Uranus combination in the natal chart of Elon Musk can be seen in his identity (Sun) as an innovator (Uranus).
