Uranus Conjunct the Moon’s South Node

We have a lot of clichés to describe Uranian types. They are “square pegs in round holes.” They “hear a different drummer” as they travel down “the road less traveled” being “their own person” while “thinking outside the box.”

We generally use clichés to describe things about which we have not really done much original thinking. Humanity in general seems not to have done much thinking at all about its own oddballs. That is why we have so many clichés about them. Instead we often unwittingly apply pressure on these people to conform, to “return to normal.” The pressure may be subtle mockery and the withholding of respect—or, failing that, it can burst into ostracism, even repressive violence. Pity, because without these Uranian types we would all still be hunting and gathering, while picking fleas off each other. Uranian energy is the mark of genius and of revolution. It breaks the rules, upsets the apple cart, and allows change to happen.

With Uranus conjunct your lunar south node, in a prior life you were an outsider. The archetype of the Exile played a big role in you. You simply had to develop independence and mental agility. Unlike “normal” people, you had very little choice.

Some people simply seem to be intrinsically divergent from the mainstream. They were just “born that way.” We all know people for whom it would be psychologically impossible to work for a big corporation, for example. If you were that kind of Uranian in a past life, we might look for the node-Uranus conjunction to be in the first house or conjunct the Sun.

Say the conjunction lies in the ninth house or possibly in Sagittarius. Then we could be looking at a person who was socially isolated in a prior life because of his or her religion, or maybe simply because of some geographic situation: a refugee or an ex-patriot, for example.

Family ethnicity is something over which we have no control. The mildest, most pliant person in the world might have born into a Jewish bloodline in fifteenth-century Spain. Late in that century, there was an attempt to drive Jews out of the “Christian” kingdom. Many fled—but many remained behind, with their mouths tightly closed, making the sign of the cross. Imagine that you had to live your life that way, constantly hiding what you genuinely were, forever exiled within your own land—and with your own nature actually conventional and not even slightly confrontational! How might we symbolize that kind of prior life astrologically? Put Uranus on the south node in the fourth house (family) and then make it milder by placing it in a Water sign and linking it to Venus, Saturn, the Moon, or Neptune.

Always, whether it is loud and flagrant or quiet, even timid, the Uranian signature on the south node carries the spirit of isolation, some immunity to consensual reality, and very likely at least a hint of innovative brilliance.

Uranus correlates with anything that happens suddenly. While what I am
