The moment you read Uranus, a feeling comes, what good this planet would do in our lives. It is one of the outer planets which is even beyond Saturn in the galaxy. It remains in a particular sign or Rashi for 7 long years. So, to cover all the 12 signs or Rashi, Uranus takes 84 years (7*12). Let me explain, Jupiter is exalted in the sign of Cancer (Karka) and Jupiter stays in a Rashi for 1 year and covers all Rashis in 12 years. Thus, once in 12 years we have natives with an exalted Jupiter. Similarly, Saturn remains in a Rashi for 2.5 years and covers all Rashis in 30 years. Thus, once in 30 years we have natives with an exalted Saturn in Libra. Imagine the importance of Uranus, we have natives with exalted Uranus once in 84 years. Now you understand the importance of an exalted Uranus in one’s birth chart. Uranus rules over the sign of Aquarius (11^th sign) and is exalted in the sign of Scorpio (8^th sign). Need I say more to emphasize the importance of Uranus?

Let me give you some significations of Uranus. Uranus is a Greek God. It is also known as Prometheus – God of Sky. In Indian astrology it is known as Indra, also known as Harshal. Uranus represents futuristic ideas, it is the disruptor of old ideas and traditions. Uranus represents invention, braking Orthodox ideas, it is progressive, sudden (like a bolt of lightning) and Uranus is a rebel. Natives born between these years haven an exalted Uranus, meaning their Uranus is in Scorpio: 1896-1902, 1979-1985 and the future torch bearers would be those taking birth between 2063-2069. Please don’t loose heart if you are not born in these date ranges. The next best position for Uranus is its placement in its own sign which is Aquarius. Natives born between 1918-1925 and 2002-2009 will have Uranus placed in its own sign in their birth chart in the sign of Aquarius. One should not just rejoice that they have an exalted Uranus or Uranus placed in its own sign. The signification of the house which it rules and the house in which it is placed plays an important role.

Today, I am going to discuss about Amelia Earhart. She is a personality less known to Indian people. She also had an exalted Uranus in her birth chart. True to the promise that every exalted Uranus carries for every native, her life too was very eventful. Amelia had a passion for flying at a very young age. In 1928, she became the first female pilot to cross the Atlantic by sea plane. During an attempt at becoming the first female to complete a circumnavigational flight of the globe in 1937, Amelia disappeared over the Central Pacific Ocean near Howland island. Her death draws similarity with the disappearance of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. Her placement of Uranus too is similar to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose in the 8^th house of death and secrecy conjunct with Saturn in the sign of Scorpio. Let us look at her birth chart.

As can be seen from above chart, Uranus is conjunct with Saturn in the 8^th house of death and secrecy in the sign of Scorpio. Here Saturn is also the depositor of Uranus sign Aquarius and is a natural Maaraka the significator of death. This union is getting the fourth aspect of Mars which being the ascendant lord also ruling over the sign of Scorpio. The signification of exalted Uranus is multiplied with the direct 7^th aspect of exalted Moon placed in the sign of Taurus and also the aspect of strong Venus placed with Moon in the second house. If we can observe all 3 airy signs viz. Gemini, Libra and Aquarius are establishing connection with Uranus. Mercury the ruler of Gemini is placed in trine with Uranus, Venus ruling the airy sign Libra gives its direct aspect to Uranus and Saturn the ruler of Aquarius is conjunct with Uranus. This gave her a passion for flying aircrafts.
