Uranus is the planet that brings about sudden drastic changes that can be electrifying and shocking. This is what sometimes must occur in order for the individual to become free and independent, for Uranus is the only planet that actually stands for freedom and intends to bring that to the person...at all costs. To obtain this freedom, the change usually brings alarm and shock to the individual, therefore creating a lot of discomfort. There will be great obstacles and even loss for the individual at that moment in time in order to break him or her out of their comfortable rut. It is only later on upon reviewing their situation that it may be seen that they have been brought to a place in their life where more freedom for them has been found.

Since the planet Uranus takes seven years to go through a sign, then the Uranus square Uranus happens around the age of twenty-one to about twenty-three and the opposition takes place at between forty and forty-two years of age.
The impact of the Uranus conjunctions, squares and opposition onto other planets definitely carries an electrical shock type of energy onto those planets. Unfortunately squares and oppositions considered already as difficult transits that bring about obstacles and hardships to the person, have an immense impact when Uranus squares and oppositions occur. This type of transit from Uranus absolutely will cause difficulties and upheavals in a person's life in order for that change and freedom to take place for the individual.
