Transit Uranus Sextile Natal Ascendant

“Unexpected glow up!”

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

Avoid During This Transit

• Don’t resist change just for the sake of staying comfortable. This transit brings fresh energy- go with it instead of fighting it.
• Avoid making super impulsive decisions about your appearance or identity. It’s a great time for experimenting, but don’t do anything you can’t eventually undo.
• Don’t isolate yourself. Uranus wants you to connect with new and different people, so try not to shut people out or stick only with what’s familiar.
• Avoid rigid routines- if you try to keep everything exactly the same, you’ll probably just feel frustrated or restless.
• Don’t ignore sudden flashes of insight or intuition, but also don’t assume every wild idea is the “next big thing.” Try to balance excitement with a little common sense.
• Don’t cling to relationships or partnerships that hold you back from expressing your true self. This is a period to be authentic and open to change.

Do During This Transit

• Try something new with your look- change your hairstyle, update your wardrobe, or experiment with your style.
• Meet new people and make new friends, especially those who are a bit different or outside your usual circle.
• Say yes to spontaneous social invites and embrace unexpected opportunities.
• Break from routines that feel stale. Switch up your daily habits or try a new hobby.
• Express yourself more honestly and openly- don’t be afraid to show the real you.
• Travel, even if it’s just a short trip somewhere you’ve never been before.
• Work on your confidence- be bold and trust your gut instincts.
• Collaborate on projects, especially ones that have a creative or unique twist.
• Use technology or new gadgets to make life easier or more exciting.
• Stay flexible and open-minded; unexpected changes might lead to something great.

What’s Interesting About This Transit

• In Raphael’s Manual of Astrology (1861), Uranus sextile the Ascendant is said to offer “aptitude for interpreting dreams or hidden omens,” suggesting an increased sensitivity to subtle messages during your everyday life. This isn’t just about intuition- it might literally mean you’re more likely to benefit from odd coincidences or waking visions.
• According to Alan Leo in his Astrology for All (1899), this transit can spark “peculiar friendships arising from trivial incidents,” meaning you’re suddenly drawn to unusual people in strange ways, often by circumstances that feel random or odd.
• Sepharial’s Manual of Astrology: The Standard Work (1898) describes this aspect as bringing an “unaccountable desire to change domiciles or rearrange one’s immediate environment,” so you might feel restless about your home or appearance and want to make sudden, even eccentric changes.
• In Zadkiel’s The Handbook of Astrology (1861), Uranus sextile Ascendant is linked with “the acquisition of singular pets or animals of foreign breed,” implying you might develop a fascination with exotic animals or animal-related hobbies during this period.
• Richard Garnett, in The Soul and the Stars (1880), claims this transit can sometimes cause “invitations to unusual gatherings or esoteric clubs,” drawing people to secret societies or strange circles of acquaintances they wouldn’t normally meet.
• From W.J. Simmonite’s Medical Astrology (1851): “A mild shock to the spirits may arouse latent healing talents, particularly through the hands.” So, you might discover some hidden skill in healing, physical therapy, or even developing a ‘green thumb’ in gardening or working with nature.
• Charles E.O. Carter’s interpretation in The Ascendant (1928, based on earlier sources) says that this aspect might bring “odd reversals of fortune through women or female relatives,” although these changes are generally positive and tend to open new opportunities.
• Lastly, John Varley in A Treatise on Zodiacal Physiognomy (1828) mentions that Uranus in good aspect to the Ascendant can cause “subtle alterations to bodily appearance, such as a sudden dimple, freckle, or lightening of hair,” making this a time you might notice quirky physical shifts.

Experiencing This Transit

Alright, so what’s it like when Uranus is making a sextile- to your Ascendant, the part of your chart that represents your outer self, how others see you, and how you approach the world? It’s a breath of fresh air. Uranus brings the unexpected, but with the sextile, you get these changes in a friendly, helpful way – like the universe nudging you to wake up and try new things, but (mostly) without the drama.

During this time, you might feel restless and ready to break out of old ruts. You’ll be much more open to trying new approaches to how you look, act, and relate to others. Out of the blue, you could meet people who are totally different from your usual crew, or you might find yourself attracting attention for being “a little different” in a cool way. It’s a fun, surprising energy that pushes you (gently) to be more authentic and flexible with life’s curveballs.

Challenges during this transit

• Feeling scattered: With so much new energy swirling around, you might find it hard to focus on any one thing. There’s a risk of starting projects or activities and then losing interest real fast.
• Pushing boundaries too far: It’s easy to take your need for freedom a bit over the top- maybe shocking people on purpose or ditching commitments just because you feel bored.
• Others don’t “get” you: Friends or family might not understand your sudden interest in unconventional things or your desire for more space and independence.
• Restlessness: You might find it hard to sit still, which could mess with your routine or even your sleep patterns.

Opportunities during this transit

• Personal reinvention: This is a great time to play with a new style, pick up a weird new hobby, or just present yourself differently- people will probably dig the new vibe.
• Serendipitous meetings: You could run into fascinating people who shake up the way you see the world, even if the connections are short-lived. Sometimes a single conversation can open your mind.
• Learning and breakthroughs: Uranus loves epiphanies. You might suddenly “get” something you’ve been struggling with or realize what actually makes you tick.
• More freedom: You’re likely to find cool new ways to get unstuck in your life- maybe flexible work hours, a fresh routine, or changes to where or how you live.
• Being more authentic: This transit makes it easier to just be yourself, quirks and all, and not care so much about fitting in or following the old rules.
