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.

Subhash Chandra Bose was born in a wealthy Bengali family in Cuttack, Orissa. His childhood days were marked with brilliant academic success, love for religion and rebellious attitude towards authorities. He was a prominent revolutionary who led the independence movement against the British rule in India. He led the Indian National Army and took help of Nazi party of Germany & also imperial Japan to get rid of British rule in India. When the civil disobedience movement was started in 1930, Bose was already in detention for his associations with an underground revolutionary group, the Bengal Volunteers. Nevertheless, he was elected mayor of Kolkata while in prison. Released and then rearrested several times for his suspected role in violent acts. His death is shrouded in mystery as his plane disappeared in South East Asia. Let us look at his birth chart.

As can be seen from above birth chart, his Uranus is exalted in the sign of Mars placed in the 8^th house. This placement of Uranus is similar to the one we saw in George Washington’s birth chart who too was a great revolutionary. The aggression of Uranus increases with the direct mutual aspect with Mars from the third house. This exalted placement of Uranus in his birth chart gave him all the attributes of Uranus viz. progressive, unorthodox, rebellious, independent and sudden surprise attacks over enemies. Uranus is conjunct with Saturn which is the karma karaka or the depositor of the 10^th house of work and profession. Thus, his aggression and revolt culminated to be his work and profession. The placement of Uranus in the 8^th house which is the house of death gave him death under mysterious circumstances.
