FACT OF THE DAY from The Scotsman: The planet Uranus was discovered on this day in 1781 by German-born astronomer William Herschel. Uranus is now the second-furthest planet from the sun, leaving Neptune the furthest away after Pluto was last year downgraded to a dwarf planet.

Here you see the natal chart for Uranus, formerly Ouranus, the Sky God, ruler of ligthening bolts, uprisings, revolutions, originality, awareness...the creative spark.
The Sabian Symbol for Uranus, the Witness, whose discovery expanded the known universe from its former limit, Saturn, is:
"25Gem": "A man trimming palms"...ENHANCEMENT:
pos: an exceptional gift for bringing all things to an effective service in some over-all achievement;
neg: an empty display of trivial excellencies.
You'll notice that Pluto has been opposite Uranus of late, and plowing through the Mars/Saturn conjunction.
Mars/Saturn = tr Pluto: forcing an issue; taking control; strong anger.
Enlarge the chart to see Chiron at his own discovery degree, and today's transits snugged around the chart in my usual chicken-scratch fashion.
Today's Mars/Saturn midpoint is tromped upon Uranus' Moon 15Sco04...
Mars/Sat = Moon: feelings about losing something; moodiness; depression.
You see the 29Leo MC (Aspiration Point) which is conj Fixed Star Regulus, keywords: success if revenge is avoided. Also at MC at discovery is the asteroid Morya. Morya nowadays hangs out ominously with Pluto. You notice that natal Pluto is at the "Medina degree."
Chart-ruler, Venus, not a nice lady when scorned, is conj IC at the HOW Point, the Foundation of the chart...and in nebulous Pisces. The US secondary progressed Sun is thereabouts resulting in a nebulous and murky view of America--internally and externally.
At discovery, perhaps Venus represents Herschel's sister who did more than hold his ladder but never got the credit she deserved (Pisces.)
Sec Sun in Pisces may relate to the rumors of globalist desires to morph America into the North American Union with Canada and Mexico...and perhaps South America, George? They sure don't like ya down there, but you can stay in your Paraguay compound if you like, I wouldn't miss ya.
Well, with no more time to celebrate the 226th Birthday of Uranus just now (yes, I say: yur ahn' nus) I wish the best of the day to this quirky planet so active in the US chart, so disruptive on the world stage.
