What Uranus in Cancer changes for everyone
Uranus transits by liberating: it breaks what confines you, wakes you up, surprises you. Change arrives from the outside when you haven’t made it from the inside. What this transit asks: letting go of a security that has become a cage, daring to try the unfamiliar.
The risk: abrupt breaks, instability, nervous agitation. The gift: new freedom, a truth about yourself, an awakening.
Uranus takes eighty-four years to circle the zodiac: each aspect to a point in your chart happens only once in a lifetime, with the opposition around age 42 marking the midlife crisis.
