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 Priyanka Chopra, winner of Miss World pageant. She is the first Indian actor to lead a full-fledged mainstream TV series in the West -Quantico. The show made three series giving Priyanka her lifetime of stardom. In fact, her first acting audition was for Quantico, as in India people knew her acting skills and she was directly cast in movies. She is known for movies like Barfi, Fashion and Bajirao Mastani. She owns a production company, Purple Pebble Productions. She is the most followed person on Instagram with over 29.2 million followers ahead of PM Narendra Modi and mega star Amitabh Bachchan. In 2016, she was honored with one of the highest civilian awards in India -Padma Shri. She is also the winner of two Global Indian Film awards, six international Indian Film Academy awards and a Shanghai International Film award, among many others. Let us look at her stars to understand what made her so successful.

As we do in all birth charts, first and foremost look at the Lagna or the first house and the Lord of Lagna -Venus. Lagna is Libra ruled by Venus. Venus is beauty, creativity and it also resembles the glamourous movie world. As we can see in the above birth chart, Lagna is occupied by Jupiter. Though Jupiter is not very great in Libra ascendants as it rules the 3^rd and 6^th house, this poor placement is mitigated by placement of Venus in the house of luck conjunct with Rahu and Mercury. Thus, all three enemies of Jupiter viz. Mercury, Rahu and Venus are occupying the 9^th house which is the natural house of Jupiter, making Jupiter weak. Hence Jupiter is not giving its malefic effects here. To add further strength to the birth chart, Saturn who is the Yoga-Karaka here as it rules both the Kendra and Trikon houses (4^th and 5^th houses) is aspecting this combination of planets in the 9^th house with its 10^th aspect.

Fifth house of any birth chart is the significator of fame and movie business. The ruler of Aquarius in the 5^th house is Uranus placed in exalted position in Scorpio (not indicated above) in the second house of wealth. Thus, the native amassed good amount of wealth through her acting skills. Sun is placed in 10^th house getting directional strength and is Dig-Bali giving the native name and fame. This Uranus is getting the third aspect of Yoga Karaka Saturn further magnifying its beneficial qualities. Saturn and Mars combination in the 12^th house controls Rahu and Rahu is not able to give any of its malefic effects. Thus, yet again we see the crucial role an exalted Uranus plays in one’s birth chart.
