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 Roger Federer, tennis player, the winner of 20 Grand Slam Titles [ 9-Wimbledon, 5- Australia Open, 5-US Open & 1-French Open]. Federer, who started playing tennis at the age of 8 years became Switzerland’s junior champion when he was just 14 years of age. Federer played during an era where he dominated men’s tennis together with Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. A versatile all court player, Federer’s perceived effortlessness has made him highly popular among tennis fans. Federer was born in Basel, Switzerland. Like all male Swiss citizens, Federer was subject to compulsory military services in the Swiss Armed Forces. Federer credits his hand-eye co-ordination to the sports he played during his childhood -Badminton and Basketball. In December 2019, Federer became the fist living person to be celebrated on Swiss coins. Federer topped the Forbes 2020 list of World’s highest paid athletes. Let us look at his birth chat to understand what gave him such as illustrious career.

The first house or the Lagna of the native represents the self. The third house represents hands and the 12^th house represent legs. Here if we look at his birth chart all three viz. 1^st, 3^rd and 12^th house are connected. 1^st house lord sun is in the 12^th house, 12^th house lord Moon is in the 3^rd house and 3^rd house lord Venus is in the first house. This linkage of 1^st, 3^rd and 12^th house gave him a perfect hand -eye co-ordination, well supported by appropriate feet movement. This bodes very well for his success in the game of tennis. His 7^th house Lord, Uranus is exalted in the sign of Scorpio in the fourth house. Now, 7^th house is the house of people and 4^th house is the house of name, fame and luxuries. Thus it is the love showered by all his fans which made him World’s highest paid athletes. Again, we conclude that a well-placed exalted Uranus ably supported by other planetary positions gives the native immense power, name and fame.
