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 lose 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 Enzo Ferrari. Enzo Ferrari was one of the greatest minds in the Automotive industry. He was an Italian motor racing driver and entrepreneur. Vey few people know that he was World War 1 army veteran, nearly losing his life in the war. Enzo was also a journalist who co-founded an Italian sports newspaper. Enzo is also the recipient of eight awards and honors for his contribution to Italy, the sport of racing and physics and engineering. The original Ferrari factory was bombed twice in 1944. This happened only three years before the 1^st Ferrari was produced for the road. Almost all of his family members died before him due to complications from illnesses. The last car to receive Enzo’s approval was the iconic, Ferrari F40. Let’s have a look at his birth chart to understand what made his life so eventful.

As can be seen from above chart, the rising sign or the ascendant or the fist house or the Lagna is Scorpio, which is the sign of research. The Lagna is also getting the 5^th aspect of Ketu which again is the significator of research. The most important point, Lagna is occupied by exalted Uranus which is ruling the 4^th house, the significator of vehicles and luxuries. The depositor of 4^th house which is Saturn is also placed in the Lagna. Saturn represents construction and structure. Thus, we see there are so many influences of Ketu, Uranus and Saturn on Lagna, which made him an expert in the Automotive industry and also the founder of iconic Ferrari car. Rahu is very powerful in the third house. This Rahu imparts its power to Mars, Moon and Mercury. Thus, Mars which represents machine and technical skills made him very good at physics and engineering and to add to the power, Mars is exalted in the sign of Capricorn. Any excellence in engineering requires a good design and planning which comes from a creative mind and intellect. Moon represents mind and Mercury represents intellect. Third house is the natural house of Mercury. Thus, a strong Mercury and Moon contributed to his success in the Automotive industry. Thus, we conclude that an Exalted Uranus coupled with other supporting planetary position propels a person to greater heights and fame which doesn’t ebb with time, imagine we are discussing his life story even after so many years of his death.
