Uranus – MC (Midheaven) Square – The Lone Rebellious Sail

Although the square is not a fatal aspect, the tension it creates seriously complicates the native’s advancement in the spheres of the Tenth House, where the Meridian of the Midheaven is located: fame, popularity, enjoyment of the profession, and recognition from others. The negative influence of the aspect is intensified by the eccentric nature of Uranus, which pushes those under its influence toward strange and shocking actions that seem extravagant and interesting to them, but in reality destroy steady progress toward the heights of success.

The presence of additional tense connections with the First, Eighth, and Twelfth Houses especially complicates interaction with society and prevents the native from expressing themselves in ways that are harmonious for the public. The person prefers to protest against rules of any kind, challenge authorities, and shock others with strange religious views or denial of faith. A path of creation or destruction must be chosen — and therefore, one’s destiny as well.

The Dangers of the Uranus – MC Square

The square begins to work especially clearly during adolescence and after entering university. However, natives with the Uranus – MC square may study at home, not wishing to grind through academics within a generally accepted system. They are suited to study in experimental groups with a flexible attendance schedule, without a dress code or a strict grading system.

In general, however, it is best to aim for freelancing from the start, since aspect holders find it difficult to resist a strong desire to change jobs and places of residence. This desire appears quite often, especially during a Uranus transit, and in adulthood it noticeably complicates the lives of the native’s loved ones, who are forced to choose between starting everything from scratch by following the chart owner or parting ways with them.

The person themselves is not too concerned with other people’s feelings, because the pleasure derived from provoking society through improper behavior and shocking, sarcastic remarks is too great.

If the First, Fourth, Ninth, and Tenth Houses, as well as the Ascendant, are in Cancer, the rejection of traditions and rules will be less pronounced, and bursts of sarcasm will arise periodically because of stressful events. In other cases, especially when the above-mentioned sectors are in Fire signs, a peaceful life is not expected. Therefore, it is important to work through the main nuances of the Uranus – MC square’s influence:

• willfulness, stubbornness, low empathy, and indifference to other people’s feelings and opinions;
• dependence on the need to introduce chaos and deprive law-abiding people of a sense of confidence and emotional balance;
• a desire to be free from any financial and routine obligations and to do only what is interesting;
• bursts of intense indignation over any restriction of personal freedom or at the sight of injustice;
• a tendency toward profanity and an eccentric style of dress;
• a desire to create something new that has never existed before and to receive the winner’s laurels single-handedly, sometimes devaluing the work of the team.

Such traits are not always strongly expressed if the person is in demand creatively, as in the cases of Steven Spielberg or Sophie Marceau. But without public recognition, unpleasant character traits grow like a snowball.

Personal Relationships

The native has a reputation as someone difficult to deal with. Aspect holders do not know how, and do not wish, to adapt to a team, and even within the family they manage to express complaints and disgust toward traditions and classic holidays. It is difficult to live with them, although in youth they may be ready to abandon a career for love and start life from scratch.

As they grow older and fail to realize their unusual ideas and projects, men and women with the Uranus – MC square will remember their sacrifice and torment their loved ones. This is largely conditioned by relationships with one parent of a Uranian character, who also challenged authorities, gave children excessive freedom, or was not interested in them as individuals at all. This awakened in the native an aversion to family values. There is a strong desire to be the complete opposite of the mother or father. Conflicts with a boss are likely, as well as a confrontation between two strong individualities and a struggle for primacy in unique self-expression within the team.

Nevertheless, the person needs to invent, introduce their innovations into work, and create relationships according to their own system of values in order to feel happiness at least sometimes.

Working Through the Uranus – MC Square

It is necessary to eradicate the habit of doing everything in reverse, contrary to the advice of others, even if the native originally intended to do exactly that. This forces the person to abandon the right path suggested by intuition.

Success awaits natives with the Uranus – Midheaven square in professions connected with invention and speed: physics, astronomy, electronics, aviation, mechanical engineering, astronautics, astrology, and advertising.

An unusual creative view of the world gives an instant rise in creative fields: directing, cinema, theater, design, and fashion. Even if these areas are chosen as hobbies, they bring peace to the tension of the square.

Extreme sports and frequent travel will remove sarcasm from communication. It is important to release tension and impulsiveness in a useful and positive way; then they will not spoil the native’s life or the lives of loved ones.
