What a Uranus opposition is

The midlife turn. Unlived parts of yourself demand expression; the risk is blowing up what works, the reward is finally being yourself.

from the Uranus opposition

It happens around 42. The exact dates depend on where Uranus was when you were born, which is why two people the same age can be a year apart in theirs. The app computes the start, exact and end dates for yours and puts them on your calendar.

What to do with it

The app writes guidance for every window it opens. For a Uranus opposition, which it reads as a demanding Uranus window, the guidance runs like this.

Do

• Make the break in the part of life this touches on your own terms, early
• Build slack into the commitment in front of you: dates, money, plans
• Say the unsaid thing to the people involved before it says itself

Avoid

• Impulsive exits you cannot walk back
• Trying to keep the part of life this touches exactly as it was

A practice

Name what in the part of life this touches you already know will not last. Decide today whether you end it or change it, and write down the first step.

As it moves

• Opening. Something starts to shake: stop pretending it is stable.
• Peak. The disruption peaks: keep your reactions slow and your options open.
• Closing. The dust settles; rebuild on the new ground.

Did it land?

This is the part most astrology leaves out. revolutionary.life asks you to log your turning points, a job, a move, a relationship, a loss, and scores every window, including this one, against what actually happened: the share of events that fell inside a window against what chance would give. The number is shown whether it is good or bad.

Questions

When is my Uranus opposition?

Around 42, with the exact dates set by your birth chart. revolutionary.life computes the window (start, exact, end) from your birth date, time and place and adds it to your forecast and calendar.

How long does a Uranus opposition last?

The window opens when Uranus comes within about a degree and a half of the exact point and closes when it leaves, usually several months to a year or more for the slow planets, with one to three exact dates inside it because of retrograde motion.
