Combust Uranus in the Natal Chart

Uranus is one of the outer planets and has its own unique relationship with the Sun. They are not enemies in the way Saturn is, but their relationship is still complex, as Uranus’s element is icy air, and in the hot Solar rays it dissolves along with all its unique and unrepeatable qualities. As a result, the native either loses the talents that set them apart from the crowd, or possesses them but is too afraid or insecure to reveal their individuality.

Combust Uranus is often found in the charts of conservatives who deny and do not understand anything new. They live in the past and do not perceive modernity adequately. It is difficult for them to adapt to change and new trends, especially regarding technological innovation. The theme of combustion for the outer planets is still little studied, so it is challenging for the native to deal with the resulting contradictions.

Characteristics of Combust Uranus

When Uranus is simply in conjunction with the Sun, the world welcomes brilliant creators and inventors. They bring forth what has never existed before, enriching the world with innovations that come from higher informational fields. However, when combust, the planet becomes invisible. This happens within eight degrees of the luminary, and the closer Uranus is to the Sun, the more difficult it is for the native to express themselves, even by an act of will.

Instead of becoming a potentially bright inventor and creator, the native turns into a “mad scientist” from children’s films, trying to create something strange and obviously doomed to failure. Yet they sincerely believe that anything is possible. At the moment when they realize nothing is working, they may have a nervous breakdown or become completely disillusioned with the world.

This scenario is not limited to scientists. Anyone with combust Uranus dreams of the impossible. In their imagination, this is an absolute and already accomplished reality. Of course, they do not live in this fantasy all the time, as those with combust Neptune might, but they periodically lose touch with reality, thinking about the unusual things they could create.

The problem lies in a truncated imagination when it comes to genuine innovation. Very often, the native reinvents the wheel or takes some forgotten idea from the past and tries to pass it off as a new trend. Unable to come up with something truly original, composers slightly modify melodies from the 1950s–60s, designers borrow silhouettes from the last century and add bright details, writers rewrite forgotten novels.

In principle, this is the most harmless scenario for combust Uranus, because on a lower level of development it can produce careless, unpunctual people living in the realities of a bygone era.

Furthermore, since the Sun symbolizes the father and husband in the natal chart, it is possible to assume a rather eccentric parent or spouse—someone who is likely to be a bon vivant or a dreamer lacking genuine insight, or an “original” of the opposite kind, such as someone who rejects email and smartphones, uses only traditional means of communication, or even recreates the lifestyle of the past century somewhere in the countryside.

Three Types of Uranus Combustion

Depending on upbringing, level of development, and personal aspirations, the native will express their conservative eccentricity in different ways. Nevertheless, Uranus will still bestow upon them the image of an outsider. Even without being truly creative or unique, and even when hiding their talents, the native still attracts attention—because even in trying to blend in, they appear unusual. This is especially true if the combustion occurs on the Ascendant or in the Third, Seventh, or Eleventh House, which can create a strange and unusual voice or manner of speaking—affected, mannered, or extremely rapid, as if the person is thinking in flashes of images and trying to capture them in words. The closer Uranus is to the Sun, the slower the speech. Much depends on the type of combustion:

1. Uranus combusts ahead of the luminary, being at a higher degree than the Sun. Here, the native is aware of their strangeness and accepts it, even highlighting their uniqueness, even if it is in a negative way. They may take pride in their conservatism and publicly proclaim their disdain for the internet and mobile phones, dress in nineteenth-century style, and listen exclusively to retro music.

2. Combustion of Uranus occurs behind the Sun, with Uranus at a lower degree than the luminary. The native is quite disturbed by the fact that they always stand out from the crowd. A beautiful woman may hate compliments and deliberately create a strange look that shocks people, a talented singer cannot overcome stage fright and is convinced they will fail, and if they do dare to perform, they behave either awkwardly or overly flamboyantly.

3. Uranus combusts at the very heart of the Sun—Kazimi. Despite some similarities with Saturn, Uranus, unlike Saturn, is still capable of becoming the Sun’s favorite and revealing a dazzling, unique talent to the world. This talent may be ambiguous; for example, the native may not have a strong voice, but become a superstar thanks to a unique delivery. These individuals always catch the rhythm of the times and enjoy incredible popularity.

The karmic reasons for Uranus combustion in the first two cases relate to past lives when the native persecuted scientific innovators, destroyed their creations, despised or denounced them, or ruined others’ dreams—essentially, when any original thinker provoked irritation or even hatred.

Now, the native needs to learn to be different from others and to enjoy it, as well as to create a community of like-minded people where everyone is free to be themselves.  ✓
