So, speaking of Tiger Woods and his Uranus transit...

Can anyone who is in a relationship have their relationship survive Uranus in 7th, or are they all automatically doomed no matter what? Should we all not get married (or get married planning on a divorce) until we're past the transit in our lives? 

Or what if you go into Uranus in 7th single? Should you just stay that way for the entire seven years, or just expect that nothing will last? 

Give your partner LOTS of freedom.

I think of Uranus as a rebel,  a rebel in the 7th house.  I wish I could link that old song,  "He's a rebel"  by the Crystals.

Crosses my descendent next spring so I'll keep you all posted!

Thinking about it though, Uranus brings freedom.  So it will release according to the house it's in.  In the seventh I would imagine it will trigger anything that has been suppressed or ignored in relationship, or in one's attitude to relationship.  Shake you up for the purposes of development and progression, so don't resist or you'll break.

Hey Jenfullmoon,

I'm going through mine right now, are you going through yours? 

I have the same questions...especially with Saturn in Libra

I feel like I can't have a stable committed relationship, though I want one, but I think Liz's advice is ultimately right, even though I'm still learning how to do that

It's weird... I don't know if I want/ can have a committed relationship right now, but I want a committed relationship!!! And all of Elsa's posts about projection and all reading about Uranus's sudden upsets are very reflective of my present unwillingness to commit and the people I'm attracting and my attitude reflecting in theirs...

Or what if you go into Uranus in 7th single?

I've been getting tons of "Wow, you're the girl of my dreams...can we be friends?"

 *scratches head*

It's irritating, but I'm wondering the same thing- can I be friends and give this person complete freedom and still be romantically attracted to them? 

Opal,

"or in one's attitude to relationship.  Shake you up for the purposes of development and progression, so don't resist or you'll break."

Right on! 

I guess it's good for control freaks *cough*

 I just looked it up and Uranus was conjunct the descendant when DH & got married which was unexpected to me even though we had been together for 8 years at the time. We got married in Jan 2005.  I have to be honest, it's been a difficult last 4 years y'all.  Will this relationship last once Uranus leaves my 7th house, I don't know. 

"...In the seventh I would imagine it will trigger anything that has been suppressed or ignored in relationship, or in one's attitude to relationship.  Shake you up for the purposes of development and progression, so don't resist or you'll break."

It's been exactly like this and then some as Saturn went thru my 12th and 1st houses with Saturn being in opposition to Uranus last year across my 1st/7th house.  Trigger, shine big azz spotlights and everything else you can imagine.  I'm sure it's been made more intense in that I'm also going through Uranus opposition Uranus across this same axis.

Welcome, msfullroller. :)

Thanks Elsa. I've been lurking on your blog for the past 3  years off and on but just got the courage to join.

Wow, welcome msfullroller! 

Not yet, I still have it in the fifth house. I can't say anything at all has happened on the romance front except for me finding younger men more attractive (but still undatable). It's been a pretty dead quiet transit, but I don't have anything in the fifth or eleventh houses. I am terrified of it hitting the sixth, and as for the seventh...

However, the annoying thing is that I don't start having well, any advantageous transits/progressions that would indicate marriage UNTIL Uranus hits my seventh house. So I'm looking at that thinking, "I am so screwed." I doubt I'll have found a relationship between now and then to have end anyway, but argh...

hrae, I always feel like that. 1st house Uranus opposite 7th house Sun. To some degree I am all like, "yeah, and the difference would be what now? it's always like that around here, want the commitment but to still be able to do my own thing." 

I've been stressing about that one too.  Uranus will be entering my 7th in ten years...but Elsa gave me word not to stress about it (yet..lol).  During that time Pluto will be trining my natal Venus...so I'm hoping to get support from that.  Pluto will also be squaring my natal Pluto (great sex I hear?) during that time.  To put icing on that cake Pluto will be entering my hubby's 7th house so I'm just hoping I'm the Plutonian that he'll be obsessed with.  Haha =)

Oh Venus sq. Neptune!

The relationship I'm in (with Uranus transiting my 7th) is a bit odd, by "conventional" standards. Wondering what will happen when it gets to my 8th....

So it could be a relationship with a weird person, or you're the weird person, or the relationship is... any of those other Uranian keywords. Not the every-day sort...

I do get some good stuff, because Pisces trines all my water and sextiles all my earth. Hmm. With Saturn out of Virgo, that has helped enormously!

I've had it bouncing around my Descendant, hitting my North Node and trining my Sun for some time now. I credit other aspects for my breakthroughs as well, especially Saturn/Pluto, but I'll stay on topic. :)

I never had significant relationships before and actively avoided circumstances in which I would form one, but you note where my NN is. Very alone, many miscarried attempts.

I don't know if it's because I'm cognizant of where my path of progress is, or whether it would have happened on its own, but in the past three months, I've dated an IT guy, an Army major, a rocket scientist, a British expatriate, and a theater director, with many, many conversations with other men, and still others expressing interest, ranging from a doctor whom I saw for an emergency visit (erk) to the elevator repairman in my office building. I opened my eyes and looked at what was happening around me and to me, and I took action. Lupa told me that dating was a numbers game, and I took that advice to heart. I am not looking for a husband right now, either. Obviously.

With the exception of the TD, they have all been 4-12 years younger than I. I am still dating the Brit and the theater director. I'll give one of them exclusivity when it's asked for and I feel like it, but until then, I'm seeing both. I met all of them through electronic, unusual means, and if you knew me, you would find all this as shocking as I do. :)

And that's Uranus in the 7th. Radical change, but you can't predict what that might be. I like to think that it changes things for the positive, including circumstances that need to be broken up for their toxicity.

As regards committment, I wonder if the key with Uranus is to redefine one's notion of what committment is, or can be.  We live in a world where committment means one thing, marriage, white picket fence etc., but that is not a valid way of life for many people.

 So perhaps the answer is to define committment as it works for you and build a relationship based on what YOU have decided, rather than what society or parents expect.

I have Uranus as fifth house ruler and never had a 'committed' relationship till Uranus transitted it, funnily enough. Then I had a baby, which was even more unexpected! As Uranus transitted the 6th, we split up (ha ha) and I have had to adjust to being a single mother, which is a life I had NEVER imagined for myself.  Mind you, neither was being a mother, so you get the idea.

Thing is, even with all this happening, and being a freedom-loving individual by nature(Uranus and Sag are both strong in my chart) that belief that one day my prince will come and we'll live happily ever after is so deep-rooted it's almost scary.  On the one hand I can look at my life and see quite clearly that the traditional route is not for me, but on the other hand some part of me is determined that the traditional route is the only valid one and there must be something wrong with me.

I'm hoping that Uranus in the 7th will shed some light on all this and free me from these beliefs, but since the whole event is caught up with the Cardinal Grand Square on my angles I am pretty apprehensive as to how it might play out.

Ah well.

My Husband has been having Uranus transit his 7th house for years, and opposing all of his Virgo planets. We even went through a Saturn return together. Uranus has been in the 7th for almost all of our marriage. I wonder how he will react when it leaves? LOL

As far as I can tell you we are still together, happy, and going strong. We both changed, and for him as much freedom as I give him, He still would rather do things together. I guess it isn't really a big deal for this transit unless you don't have that freedom. I rebel way more then he ever could... I have Uranus conjunct AC... I hate being restricted.. it pisses me off. lol 

Obviously I can't really say on the single part. Because I just don't know. I haven't seen it play out. 

Neva and Lupa: what do you mean about dating being a numbers game?

Ha ha Moonpluto, I was just thinking the same thing!!

Also, with Uranus in my 7th, I've had the most stable relationship I've ever had.  Stable in terms of definition of what it is, emotional stability, consistency. Or maybe that's him. He's been consistent. Hasn't always been easy though and still isn't easy. I guess my point is: can't rule anything out with this transit. You can find love or relationship and, well, you can't predict or control it! It's Uranus folks! lol

Essentially that meeting the right person is a numbers game.  You keep moving through them in order to find the ones who are worth your time, quickly eliminating those who aren't a good fit. I have a habit of thinking I'm going to get lucky on the first dice roll, and in this arena, I never do!

This thread is making me feel better. Thanks, y'all :)

Yay to feeling better :)

I've had Uranus in the 7th house-hovering between conjunctions with Venus and Mercury and ping-ponging an opposition with my first house moon--forever, at least since I entered college when I was 18 and I'll be 24 in February. I've always been single so it's not like Uranus shook up my love life or anything but I did have my first make-out session which ended up being embarrassing and horrible (thanks, tequila!). My timing is pretty bad in general and I have a lot of Saturn squares so I always saw Uranus in the 7th as the salty icing on a hollow cake. I always got the idea that if you were single when Uranus went into the 7th, you'd stay that way but I like the idea that you can't predict it and anything can happen. Maybe it's just supposed to be a breath of fresh air in an area of life where we so desperately want to suffocate.

Back in 1990, tr. Uranus was exact on my Descendant, on my wedding day. :)

On that day, I also had Pluto transiting my 5th, and both Neptune and Saturn transiting my 7th.

The first years of that marriage were wonderful!

Yep, later we were divorced., but while Uranus was in the 7th, it was fabulous.

Best wishes! 

Uranus is going into my 7th house in the spring/summer.

"We live in a world where committment means one thing, marriage, white picket fence etc., but that is not a valid way of life for many people."

That definitely applies to me. My boyfriend and I just broke up recently for this reason (along with many others). But the thought of having that as a possibility irks me. It isn't that I don't want to live happily with someone for a long time, but I want to make sure it is HAPPY. I never see happy couples! Everyone hates each other. So why don't we find the relationship we really want to have? That's how I feel. Either that or nothing. I need things the way I want them and hopefully I meet someone who actually feels the same way instead of just saying that they do. I think men date me thinking that they feel the same way but at the same time engage in behavior with me that would say otherwise. I don't want to feel tied down in any circumstance.

My venus in Aquarius is going to enjoy this transit, maybe. Either way, maybe it'll give me something in a relationship I actually understand.

roxannaduel,

I can totally understand what you are talking about.  I've kept from getting into relationships, because I don't want problems.  I figure there will ALWAYS be problems, no matter if it's a friendship or a courtship, so waiting for the perfect complement to me is something that will go on indefinitely.  I know I will not find what I want, because that particular mold does not exist, and for me to believe it does is completely unrealistic.  But wouldn't it be beautiful to find the perfect person to be with, according to your standards and expectations?  I guess that's what daydreaming is for.  Haha!

The few couples I see that are happy are either extremely compatible to the others' changing moods, desires, etc., or they're faking it.  It's a depressing statistic how many marriages end in divorces, either immediately, somewhere along the line, or eventually.  Don't get me wrong, I have seen marriages that last a long time, but the ones that seem truly happy are RARE.

Just my two cents...

NUTSY :)

Well, my first serious relationship ended with Uranus 1 degree from the 7th house cusp in April 2004, and I guess I went through the worst time in my life with Uranus tightly conjunct to my Descendant. Basicly, it was my ex wanting out of the relationship, but I was the one to utter the words. I'm still not blaiming Uranus, though. We both had a Saturn square Sun transit going on too, and my ex also had Saturn conjunct Moon. I think we both felt pretty restricted by our relationshp by then.

But the rest of my Uranus in 7th transit, which ended last March (using Placidus, my 7th is only about 15 degrees large) was actually very positive. I had good Jupiter transits early on. By the end of 2004 I was dating again, and by the end of 2005 I was in my current relationship, which I think one might call Uranian/Acquarian in many senses. My SO is also a Virgo rising, with smaller 1st and 7th houses, so we basicly share the transits by houses. Most couples our age who've been together for a certain period, have been taking certain steps: Buying a house, having a kid, getting married (usually in this order). Ours has been more focused on mutual crowth and friendship (we also have an 11th house Sun in the composite chart). But even if I definitely would love to have children,as soon as possible, my main frustration in the relationship is that we don't always have enough time for each other. I'd really like to spend more time just  hanging around and talking with my SO.

Dont understand this marriage thing sorry, is it a religious thing a legal contract?Maybe a psychological hold over someone ? never understood!! I was with the same man for 23yrs and had 3 of his kids, no planets in the 7th, no venus mars squares or oppositions.  people used to do it! i just wonder what makes them do it now esp seeing as most of them will get a divorse, dont sound very permanant

karen, that's always been my view of marriage over the years.  Too many people rush into it and then fall out of it.  Every time I go to a wedding I hope they prove me wrong and make it last.  So far, I've seen two of them last, and I'm really happy for them.

The rest of them predictably fall to pieces.

Everybody's comments are very interesting to me, since I have Uranus in the seventh in my natal chart. So as somebody who's had this going on my whole life, I think the main deal is to try to separate what the expectations are for a conventional relationship as opposed to what you need and want. Every time I've tried for the picket fence, it's blown up in my face. For me, it's a balance between total freedom and total committment: I'll grow, you'll grow, and it's going to be even better if we grow together, which requires massive amounts of trust.

I go through the same effed up trauma in a breakup that anybody does, but when I look at the bigger picture I can see everybody I ever connected with as a learning experience, and sometimes we've learned a particular lesson and it's time to move on. That doesn't mean those people aren't still in my heart.

So think of a Uranus transit in the seventh house as. . .interesting.

im going to have to come clean and tell you that when i wrote a comment here last week i was in bad mood and did'nt realize the thread was about a uranus transit. Well , my 23yr relationship broke up when uranus was conjunct my dsc(well there you go), also help's conferm my birth time is correct.

He he he  bit naughty but my x not long been married and his uranus transit to seventh coming up !! lol

Yeah, I'll chime in as another natal Uranus 7H Sagittarius (twice a singleton as well).  I don't feel that I've had any notable success (and perhaps a fairly rotten time) with "romantic" relationships.  But certainly with bunches of other kinds, especially creative/artistic collaborations.

 Does anybody have any remarks as to the possible significance/interpretation of the fact that my 7H Uranus sits precisely on my S. Node (opposite NN in Gemini)?

Karen--hahaha, you have any Scorpio aspects?  

I had transiting Uranus going over my 7th house from 1999 to early 2006.  Other than a brief separation lasting a few weeks in the Fall of 2004, my marriage weathered "the storm".  We'll be married 27 years in May.

In retrospect, I think I had more problems and bizarre happenings associated with the seventh house with regards to "open enemies"...i.e. competition from friends and problems from adversaries. As well as unusual stuff happening with business partnerships. We shouldn't forget that the seventh house rules these things as well as marriage.

nutsymaclewis, i have pluto conjunct my asc, he he

When it arrived to my descendent, in 2006.December,I went to America to visit my highschool sweetheart. (I am Hungarian.)In march we got married, and at the end of June I moved here ( from Europe!) with my son! Thank Uranus, I love you!  180 degrees turn.

Uranus transiting your 7th house won’t break your current relationship unless that relationship is already on shaky ground.  You’ll be re-evaluating your views that have to do with serious relationships and partnerships of all types.  On the one hand you’re probably more apt to not listen to what your partner’s wishes are and that can cause friction or a split if they’re unhappy with that.But that goes the other way to, if your partner is placing too many restricting demands on you then that could end it.  As long as your partner embraces your changes and grants you the freedom you need without causing a fuss and you try not to be rebellious in a damaging way then you should be able to sail right through the transit without issues. Relationships are always about changing and growing and this is part of that.

I don't know how I missed this thread when it originally posted, but it's a revelation ! Thanks for bumping it, kevinsbeach.

I'm one whose marriage collapsed under an Uranus transit to my 7th h; which is also where my Descendant is located. It of course, began before that, as there were cracks in its foundation from the get-go. I never made the connection to the astrology behind the action, but it explains a lot; as it was an unsustainable situation for us both, I believe [although he saw it differently than I did]. Nothing could have prepared me for the cluster-f*** that ensued, but my transit chart for the time explains the inevitable. Sheesh !
