Transiting Uranus square Sun is affecting Cancer and Capricorn from 2011 to 2019. The transit will last about a year or so and this is likely to be a time of disruption as Uranus tests you with unexpected changes which affect your routine and life in general. The change may come from within you especially if you feel you have not been able to live as you truly wish, being constrained by others or circumstance. Under this stress you will want to break free which may upset others as you are likely to act more impulsively than usually, more erratic and odd, but you are finding your own unique self expression which in the long run is very beneficial.
The rebellious nature of Uranus comes through strong with the square, and if you do buck the system you can probably expect some tough times and ego conflicts with bosses and others who want you to stay the same. This is a tricky transit to deal with because you are being forced to change in some way but in the process this causes stress and upsets, the buildup of tension can lead to rash and unpredictable actions. It can be a difficult time to settle down or maintain any stable continuity in your life, whether that be relationships, work or studies. The key to handling this period is to think outside the box, be flexible and be prepared to move on if you get signals that you are on the wrong path. Don’t stubbornly hold onto anything old that is breaking down just because it used to be so important to you. New opportunities will be presenting themselves, things you would not have expected.
People with Sun square Uranus in their natal charts do well achieving brilliance in creative self expression…of a different kind.

Hi i have a question. Would uranus squaring other planets that i have in cap or cancer in my chart taken seriously? For instance: i have cap at 4 d in my fifth house as well as my moon at 18 d
Definitely, especially the inner, or personal planets and the Ascendant and Midheaven. What is at 4 degrees Capricorn? You will feel that one from March 2012. For Uranus square Moon you won’t get that till 2015.
I’m feeling Uranus squaring my Moon right now (1 degree Cancer). I’ve noticed erratic and sometimes bizarre behavior from the women in my life.
Ha Ha, when I write up forecasts for men with this one I write “crazy women”.
Just wondering bout uranus square sun transits for cancer decan3.
I’dd add this to the post as well Kim.
Decan 3 Cancer and Capricorn – April 2016 to March 2019
Hi, I have cancer at 10 degrees oppose Uranus 16 degrees, in natal chart, and was wondering if the upcoming square will have any additional importance. Dose this make the transit easier or harder?
Hi Joshua, I don’t think that it will be any harder because Uranus at 16 Capricorn does not really factor into this transit. Uranus will not square your Uranus till 2014 and Pluto will not conjunct it till 2016.
Not wanting to wish away my life, however i longing for a break and it will be a relief when the first of a few long term stressful transits ive been dealing with being the above, as i have sun at 0′cancer moves off. I have been on the voyage of re discovering who i really am since 1993 and this transit well, lets say i didnt hold onto anything that needed to go so pretty much everything went, sort of a metaphoric death really and im in chiron return territory, plus libra moon/asc so feel like ive been crucified and ready to be born anew….. so yep new life anytime now…..gratitude will be an understatement when i am through it all
Debbie, I had to add to this simply because I met my cosmic twin, same here Cancerian Sun & Libran moon. It’s hard dealing with Uranus but personally I’m loving it with all the shocks I’m giving to everyone around me. I love Uranus! I have all the gratitude in the world for this planet & life has been the same as you say ‘reincarnated’ in many ways. I’m not through with my saturn return yet but I can see a new being in process already, alot more stronger too! Good luck in your journey!
Hi, I am Cancer, ascendant Leo (with Pluto conjunct my ascendant) and I have Uranus in my 11th house, at 5 degrees Cancer, trine with Jupiter, in my 7th house, at 7 degrees of Pisces. Now Uranus in transit is squaring my Uranus. What should I expect, please?
Thank you and best regards,
Lucia
Most people will go through their Uranus square feeling an urge to make changes in their life to allow more personal freedom. For you with Pluto rising, like everything else in your life you are going to experience this very deeply and it may involve intense interactions with others. My eldest girl has Pluto rising, everything is also so dramatic or intense for for.
How does mercury (capricorn) square uranus (aries) affect a college student? Does the student learn faster or is an issue of information overload?
Natal Mercury square Uranus means you have some problem with keeping an open and flexible mind when reading or learning. May have some difficulty with concentration. The square challenges you to work harder on these issues so that eventually you master them and they become a strength. Then you will excel at creative and intuitive thinking and pick things up very quickly. Original, inventive, genius.
I have mars in aries 11 deg.in 11th house and sun in cap. 6 deg. in 7th house, therefore am going thru pluto conj. sun and uranus sq. sun transits. I know you can guess some of the things that are going on w me rt. now, so what is your best advice for me?
Remember that things will be OK and life will settle down soon enough. It may feel bad now but you are actually gaining wonderful life experience which adds character and strength for the future.
I had this thought in the shower this morning, about life and karma. I’ve struggled this life, it’s not been easy. But now I’m enjoying life much more and seem to be making good progress, this astrology business is doing well, my kids are happy, I have a great marriage. I am starting to feel successful.
Now compare this with someone who has been handed everything, born rich, the best education, cars, holidays. They may be highly successful but will they feel the great things I feel because it has been such a struggle? Fighting hard to achieve gives such self satisfaction and makes me feel so good about myself. I wonder if people who don’t have to struggle so hard miss out on this wonderful feeling later in life.
So Very true Jamie, I doubt any of us would actually consciously choose to go through such tough challenges and may e sometimes they dont need to be as tough as we make them, but with humility comes that added strength of seeing success so much bigger and joyfully, gratefully, than a lot, not all, of those who dont have the chance to learn humility and gratitude. All sounds very cliche new agey I know, but its true, the tough lessons really do have one counting blessings so tiny, that others simply dont see or take for granted, that we get to count more of them hahaha.
