Upcoming Eclipses and Their Impact

A generational shift is underway with Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus all transitioning into new signs in 2025.

With Uranus moving into mutable Gemini, and Neptune moving into fiery Aries, the planet faces a period of intensified instability and transformation.

Uranus’ upcoming transit into Gemini may further highlight the divide within the U.S.

Hesiod

A genealogy of the gods

Gaia independently gave birth to Uranus (Sky), the Ourea (Mountains), and Pontus (Sea).

Gaia and Uranus became the first divine couple, producing the Titans, the Cyclopes, and the Hecatoncheires (Hundred-Handers).

Uranus imprisoned the Cyclopes and Hecatoncheires in Tartarus, which angered Gaia.

Cronus, urged by Gaia, overthrew Uranus and became the ruler, but he, too, would fear his offspring.

Greek Mythology

Uranus – The primordial Age

From this chaos emerged Uranus, the sky, who enveloped Gaia, the Earth, in his vast expanse.

Uranus, fearing the potential of his offspring, cast the Cyclopes and Hecatoncheires into the deepest abyss of Tartarus, a dark, dungeon-like prison far beneath the earth, where they were to remain for eternity.

With Gaia's encouragement and a mighty sickle forged from the earth, Cronus rose against Uranus.

In a climactic battle, Cronus overthrew Uranus, severing the sky from the earth and taking his place as the ruler of the cosmos.

Yet, Cronus was haunted by a prophecy that foretold his downfall at the hands of his own child, just as he had overthrown Uranus.

Zeus liberated them from Tartarus, where they had been imprisoned by Uranus.

The Olympian Gods

The Titans, led by Cronus, were the ruling deities after overthrowing their own father, Uranus.

They were Alcyone's sons, Uranus and Neptune, and his daughters Surya and Brhaspati ; Saturn and Vulcan, boys, and Venus, a girl, were also selected.

With regard to Mercury, Venus, the Moon, and Mars, the Chaldsean measurements of relative size corresponded precisely with our own ; but Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, though immensely larger than the inner group, were yet decidedly smaller than they would have been if constructed on the same scale according to our received calculations.

Saturn's votaries were clothed in clear sunset green, with pearl-grey shades underlying it, while those born under Uranus wore a magnificent deep rich blue — that unimaginable colour of the South Atlantic, which no one knows but those who have seen it.

“In the influences in Mercury, with those in Uranus, makes for those conditions that are easily besetting in the entity’s experience, of individuals groups – having that influence as to ‘What will people say?

“In Uranus and Saturn we find the extremes in temperament, as well as the extremes in the changes which have been and are a part of the entity’s experience.” 1751-1

The Gigantomachy was a battle between the gods of Olympus and the Giants, born from the blood of Uranus.

In mythology, Uranus has a rich and storied background in Greek mythology.

Uranus is one of the primal gods, born from Chaos or emerging directly from Gaia (the Earth), depending on the mythological account.

Uranus is depicted as the personification of the sky and is considered one of the earliest deities.

Uranus was both the son and husband of Gaia (the Earth).

One of the most notable myths involving Uranus concerns his relationship with his youngest Titan son, Cronus.

Uranus was fearful and jealous of the power of his children, particularly the Titans, Cyclopes, and Hecatoncheires.

To prevent them from overthrowing him, Uranus imprisoned these children in Tartarus, a deep abyss used as a dungeon of torment in the underworld.

Angered by Uranus' treatment of their children, Gaia crafted a great adamant sickle and urged her children to use it against Uranus.

He ambushed Uranus as he approached Gaia and castrated him, casting the severed parts into the sea, from which arose various other deities and mythical beings, including Aphrodite, who emerged from the sea foam.

The overthrow of Uranus by Cronus set the stage for a recurring theme in Greek mythology—that of the son overthrowing the father.

Uranus' mythological narrative is fundamental in Greek mythology, representing themes of creation, conflict, and the cyclical nature of power dynamics within the pantheon of gods.

They were Alcyone’s sons, Uranus and Neptune, and his daughters Surya and Brhaspati ; Saturn and Vulcan, boys, and Venus, a girl, were also selected.

Uranus was discovered by William Herschel in 1781.

Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun, orbiting at a distance of about 2.87 billion kilometers (1.78 billion miles).

Uranus is an ice giant with a bluish color, due to the presence of methane in its atmosphere which absorbs red light and reflects blue and green light.

One of the most striking features of Uranus is its extreme axial tilt of about 98 degrees, which means it rotates on its side.

The atmosphere of Uranus is mostly hydrogen and helium, with a higher presence of "ices" such as water, ammonia, and methane, compared to Jupiter and Saturn.

Uranus has a system of 13 known rings, which are not as prominent as Saturn's but are still significant.

Uranus has an unusually oriented and irregularly shaped magnetic field, which is tilted at 59 degrees from its axis of rotation and is offset from the planet's center.

The only spacecraft to have visited Uranus is Voyager 2, which flew by the planet in 1986, providing much of the current knowledge about the planet and its moons.
