Surprise Growth Spurt

Here’s what to do and not do when you have a Uranus Sextile Uranus transit. Below that are some interesting things about this transit.

Avoid During This Transit

• Don’t ignore sudden ideas or insights, but don’t act on them recklessly either. Pause and think things through first.
• Avoid stubbornly sticking to old habits just because they feel comfortable. This is a good time to be open to change, even if it feels a little scary.
• Don’t isolate yourself from friends or your social circle. New connections and networking can lead to cool opportunities now.
• Steer clear of making drastic, impulsive decisions about your career or relationships just for the sake of excitement.
• Don’t dismiss technology or innovative tools that could make life easier- embrace them, but research first before diving in.
• Avoid closing your mind to other people’s perspectives, even if they’re really different from yours.
• Try not to overcommit to too many new projects at once. It’s easy to get overstimulated or scattered.
• Don’t take unnecessary risks, especially with your finances or safety, just to feel “free.”
• Resist the urge to break rules just for the sake of rebellion- it might backfire or cause unnecessary drama.

Do During This Transit

• Try something new and break out of your usual routine.
• Embrace change- if life throws something unexpected at you, roll with it.
• Explore fresh ideas, whether that means picking up a new hobby, studying something different, or meeting new people.
• Look for ways to upgrade your technology or get more comfortable with new gadgets.
• Get involved in social causes or groups that inspire you- this is a great time to connect with like-minded people.
• Focus on your independence and personal freedom- don’t be afraid to stand out or do your own thing.
• Take creative risks- try writing, art, or music in a style you’ve never done before.
• If you get a sudden opportunity, say yes! Sometimes the best things happen out of the blue during this transit.
• Reassess your goals, especially if they feel outdated, and update them so they fit who you are now.
• Practice being open-minded and flexible- rigidity won’t get you far with Uranus energy in the air.

What’s Interesting About This Transit

• Peculiar Inventions and Odd Talents: According to Raphael’s Manual of Astrology (1877), Uranus in supportive aspect to its natal position could lead to “the sudden development of singular skills or inventions, such as devising new instruments or contrivances for household or agricultural use, often to the astonishment of those nearby.”
• Friends in Strange Circumstances: William Lilly’s An Introduction to Astrology (1852) mentions that Uranus transits like this may bring “acquaintanceship with persons of odd dress or deportment, who may exert some strange influence.” 19th-century astrologer Zadkiel also noted this, saying Uranus sextiles were “apt to bring friends from foreign lands or cultures, sometimes by correspondence.”
• Tendencies to Eccentric Diets: From H.S. Green’s Mundane or National Astrology (1911, but he cites 19th-century German sources), this transit sometimes made people “inclined to experiment with, or suddenly adopt, peculiar dietary habits such as only eating foods of a certain color, or invention of novel recipes never before seen.”
• Unusual Reconciliations: Alan Leo’s Astrology for All (1899) recorded that Uranus sextile to natal Uranus “often promotes the sudden mending of ancient quarrels between kin, but such reconciliations may occur under odd circumstances, such as a chance meeting in a public assembly or through a mistaken letter.”
• Brief Periods of Psychic Sensitivity: Richard James Morrison (Zadkiel) in his Handbook of Astrology (1861) stated this transit could “render the native susceptible for a short time to the impressions, or subtle magnetisms, of phenomena and persons about them, resulting in momentary clairvoyance or voices unheard by others.”
• Beginnings of Societal Fads: An 1852 edition of Raphael’s Book of Fate suggested that groups under Uranus-Uranus sextile may start small, odd trends (like a new way of tying neck-cloths or using brightly colored socks) that later catch on among the larger community.
• Interest in Aerial Pursuits: According to Zadkiel’s Astrological Almanac (mid-1800s), this aspect sometimes resulted in a fascination with flight- at the time, meaning hot air balloons and early airships, as “the sextile of Uranus doth often awaken fancies of the clouds and ether.”
• Sudden Animal Friendships: Raphael’s Key to Astrology (1889) comments that under this transit, “the native oft entertains strange companions among dumb creatures, making pets of animals of an uncommon type, and feeling an unnatural kinship to them.”
• Occult Curiosity: Zadkiel’s Herald of Astrology (1840) noted this sextile “enlivens novel desire for knowledge of the Cabala, mesmerism, or the acquisition of obscure books dealing in the Hermetic sciences.”

Experiencing This Transit

When Uranus is sextile your natal Uranus, it’s like the universe hands you an electrical extension cord. Old and new connect. This phase doesn’t slam your life upside down, but it does sneak in subtle changes, flashes of insight, and sudden opportunities for personal growth. You just “get” new ideas, or things seem to click easier in areas where you’ve felt stuck- especially with technology, friends, and the riskier side of life.

You might crave a little more freedom, and stuff that always felt out-of-reach suddenly seems possible or at least easier to try. You’ll probably feel more experimental, more willing to break from routine, and even kinda lucky when it comes to group activities or networking.

Challenges During This Transit

• Restlessness: You might get this urge to shake things up even when there’s no real need. This can make you distractible, or you might irritate people by starting projects and not finishing them.
• Missed Signals: Sometimes, you’re so focused on what’s new and shiny that you overlook important details or old obligations. It’s easy to ghost on commitments that don’t excite you anymore.
• Mild Social Weirdness: You may feel out of sync with your usual crowd because you’re suddenly interested in things or people who aren’t your “norm.” This can make group dynamics a bit awkward until the energy settles down.
• Tech Trouble: Ironically, even though this transit can bring tech breakthroughs, it can also make you overconfident. You might jump into new software or gadgets without learning the basics, which leads to confusion or minor disasters.

Opportunities During This Transit

• Creative Solutions: You’ll notice you can come up with cool workarounds or clever hacks for things that used to frustrate you, especially in tech, science, or community projects.
• Meeting Your Tribe: This is a great time to join new groups- even online forums or random clubs- where you might meet people who actually get your quirky side. Connections you make now can have a big impact for years.
• Easy Adaptation: Changes that would usually stress you out feel surprisingly doable. If your job wants you to use a new system or process, you’ll probably adapt better than usual.
• Fresh Insights: You could suddenly “see” your own patterns or beliefs in a new light. This makes it way easier to break old habits that haven’t been working for you.
• Forward Momentum: Projects or ideas you’ve been considering can get an unexpected green light. You might not get everything you want, but doors open a little more easily, and you have unusual luck getting things started.
