A “shockingly good glow-up.”
Here’s what to do and not do when you have a Uranus Trine Sun transit. Below that are some interesting things about this transit.
Avoid During This Transit
- Don’t make reckless decisions just because you’re craving excitement- think things through first.
- Avoid stubbornness or sticking to old ways out of fear of change.
- Don’t ignore sudden opportunities, but also don’t say yes to everything that pops up.
- Try not to isolate yourself or shut out friends and family- you might need support during new adventures.
- Avoid overestimating your abilities or biting off more than you can handle.
- Don’t skip out on responsibilities just because you want to break free or do your own thing.
- Stay away from unnecessary risks, especially with technology, money, or big investments.
- Don’t brush off your routines and self-care- even though you want change, some structure is still important.
Do During This Transit
- Try something new – Don’t be afraid to experiment, whether it’s a hobby, a hairstyle, or even your whole outlook. Uranus trine Sun wants you to step out of your comfort zone.
- Take risks – This is actually a great time to take smart risks. If you’ve been thinking about a change, the odds are in your favor now.
- Be yourself – You’ll feel a real boost in self-confidence. Let your true colors show and don’t worry too much about what others think.
- Embrace technology – Thinking of upgrading your gadgets or learning something new online? Now’s the time.
- Connect with unique people – You could meet folks who are different from your usual crowd. New friends or mentors can open up fun opportunities.
- Start a bold project – Creative ideas flow easily under this transit. Launch that business, write that book, or build what you’ve been dreaming about.
- Travel somewhere different – If you can, visit a place you’ve never been. A change in scenery will inspire you.
- Break old habits – Uranus loves shaking things up. Use this energy to let go of routines that don’t serve you anymore.
- Trust your intuition – You’ll get flashes of genius or sudden insights. Pay attention to those “aha” moments- they can lead to awesome changes.
- Stay open-minded – The more flexible and open you are, the more you’ll get out of this exciting time.
What’s Interesting About This Transit
- Peculiar Mental Freshness: According to “The Manual of Astrology” (1861) by Raphael, this trine can provoke a period when the mind is open to unusual, even bizarre, flashes of insight. Raphael mentions “the sudden acquisition of singular knowledge, especially in the night-time hours, leading to practical leadings after daybreak.” So you might get some wild ideas after midnight that actually work out in your daily life!
- Unexpected Invitations to Secret Societies: From “Zadkiel’s Legacy” (1854), there’s a suggestion that this transit can “incline the native towards candid consideration of offers from mysterious fraternities or philosophical societies.” In other words, you might suddenly find yourself invited into some kind of secret or exclusive group- think more Rosicrucians, less Facebook.
- Sudden Inheritance of Unusual Heirlooms: The old text “The Astrologer’s Guide” (1839) by William Lilly (translated and collected, published in this year) refers to “happy receipt of unusual objects of lineage or craft during the trine of Herschel and the proper luminary,” which is a poetic way to say you might inherit something weird and unexpectedly valuable.
- A Release from Oaths or Bonds: “The Manual of Horoscope” (1859) by Alan Leo describes that “the trine indicated, in nativities and directed revolutions, a rare period where one may be justly freed from unwise vows or pressured obligations, finding social favor in such release.” So if you’re tied down by a promise, this transit’s good for getting out of it- and people won’t hold it against you!
- Invention or Adoption of Odd Personal Style: In “Uranian Influence and Character” (1863) by B. L. Ray, it’s written that “many a gentleman exchanged his regular attire for garments of foreign cut or hue, incomprehensible to the English public, under Herschel’s favorable ray upon Sol.” That means if you suddenly feel like dyeing your hair purple or wearing something totally out-there, blame Uranus trine Sun.
- Sudden Artistic or Mechanical Skill: The “Astrological Oracle” (1858) says this transit can “unlock, as if by divine accident, a dormant skill, particularly in objects worked by the hand- painting, sculpture, clockwork, or the mending of musical instruments.”
- Happy Accidental Encounters: “Raphael’s Book of Fate” (1862) notes that people often “meet, quite by accident, an old friend, benefactor, or even future spouse, at a moment when least expected.” These run-ins tend to be extra fortunate or life-changing.
Experiencing This Transit
When Uranus is trine your natal Sun, you’re basically getting a cosmic green light to be the real, uncensored version of yourself. It’s a little like you’re running on a shot of espresso- suddenly you feel lighter, braver, and ready to shake off anything that’s weighed you down. You might find yourself breaking routines, connecting with strange new friends, or just feeling more “you” than you have in a long time. It can feel a bit electric, but in a good way- like anything can happen, but you’re actually excited about it.
It’s different from most big outer planet transits because it’s smooth. Instead of things crashing down or getting super intense, you get helpful nudges: little, surprising doors open, synchronicities pop up, and the world seems to loosen up for you. Things that used to feel “too far out there” suddenly seem doable, or at least pretty fun to try.
Challenges during this transit
- Restlessness for No Reason: You might feel super antsy or “done” with things or people that you used to be fine with. If you’re not careful, you could ghost someone, quit a gig too fast, or get bored before you’ve landed on your next move.
- Shocking Yourself: Sometimes you surprise yourself with how bold you’re being. For people who are shy or hate change, it can feel weird to suddenly crave something totally new.
- Scattered Energy: With so many new ideas popping, you might lose track of what’s actually important. Projects can get started and abandoned quicker than before.
- Other People Can’t Keep Up: You might feel like you’ve outgrown your old crowd- or they’re not excited by your “new thing,” making you feel a bit out there or alone with your excitement.
Opportunities during this transit
- Instant Creativity: This is a killer time for artists, writers, inventors- anyone who needs a fresh idea. Breakthroughs come out of nowhere, so keep a notebook!
- Life Upgrades: That thing you always thought was “not for you” (a new hobby, job, relationship style) might just fall into your lap. If you’re open, you could level up fast.
- Easy Confidence: It’s like the universe is handing out little compliments, and you just “get” that you’re allowed to go your own way. You feel free to speak your mind and stand out, with less fear than usual.
- Renewed Friendships: Cool, new people show up, and old friends might surprise you with suddenly being more open or inspiring. Connections feel lighter and more exciting.
- Fresh Courage: If you’ve been scared to try something, now’s the moment. Uranus trine Sun gives that gentle push- you get to experiment without the usual dread of failure.
