Someone wrote to me with a question about her Uranus transit. Uranus through the 8th House. I’m having this too. The first thing I think is (here is an example of my astrological thinking):
-what does Uranus mean? And then I think: what does the 8th House mean? That’s the first equation.
My favorite Uranus keyword is LIBERATION. (And you know what? I try to be professional and all but I’m real tired as I type this so I may just do Part One right now and more about this tomorrow…)
Think of Uranus as SETTING YOU FREE. Think of the 8th House as… a different kind of prison than the 12th House but a prison nonetheless. Does this sound strange to you? To think of the 8th House this way? Not as all thrilly taboo and sexy? Well, I have my natal Chiron there. 8th House matters HURT: sex, death, debt.
Uranus transits in general are setting you free although it doesn’t always feel that way. It often feels like the Tower card in the Tarot: shocking, frightening, falling. Towers which have to fall. Truth coming out.
Uranus through the 8th is freedom from… what scares you MOST of all.
Where is transiting Uranus in your chart?

I have this in my progressed chart
(all just my interpretations of course)
Uranus in the 8th is definitely about core transformation. Lol that image scares me. Its so vulgar and open! I’m not offended by vulgarity in the least but I am afraid of my own vulnerability. I’m terrified of putting my full naked self (literal and figurative) on display for the world. And there she is in a gallery, hanging out like she’s on a couch in her living room.
Uranus feels like that. Except where she’s headless, I’m living in my head while also living outside of it. Meditating more than ever on ephemeral reality and dimensions of connection. Her marble reminds me of the harsh reality of saturn in scorpio but the beauty and her existence in an art gallery is like pluto on my neptune. The dream is also the nightmare if I care to see it as such. If I accept that I am here, and I cannot leave my pole then I can make peace with the confines of my reality thereby allowing myself to feel free.
She knows that people are watching so she puts herself on display in a strong yogic pose that isn’t at all ashamed. She has no reason to be. I feel ashamed only because I’m allowing myself to feel bound to the judgements of onlookers. My shame says “poor girl, she should be allowed her privacy.” Her private is not only allowed to be public but she has chosen it and she is strong and graceful in spite of what museum goers may mutter around her. She is at peace.
This is life. Its grotesque and facile yet profoundly intriguing and beautiful. Is it wrong that I prefer her decapitated because it means I’m not afraid of embarrassing her by staring. She’s no longer a person so much as a muse… I told a guy I could no longer talk to him because he says he loves me but I believe he’s only in love with the idea of me. I feel headless to him and right now I need a head so I did the Aquarian thing and rationally exited the situation.
I’m not terribly upset by that realization but I am feeling Uranus rx making me question the validity of pursuing anything when it can all simply be a transient dream. My meditation this week has been focused on letting go and accepting the flow of life. I’m afraid of looking at her because it strikes me so powerfully but I want to be her someday. She can be a muse because she is ready, but my north node in 5 Aries isn’t there yet. My Libra doesn’t yet know how to give myself permission yet. Oh man, I had no idea that I was so connected to my 8th house.
Aliza,
I forgot, one of those deaths put me in a familial prison only to be liberated by those two before mentioned deaths. Being a Libra, I can say, “It has been horrible many times and a tough way to learn some valuable lessons. Still, I hope dawn is breaking.
I decided to pull a card for the dawn breaking. 7 of Cups. Looks like a few dawns here…
How very kind of you…thanks.
Uranus is natal in my 8th house Cancer, 5 degrees so its always there in your life and you learn to live with the unexpected. Most deaths in my family were quick, sudden and unexpected but in two cases, liberating. Jupiter will be transiting my 8th house this year, so it will be conjuncting natal Uranus. Transiting Uranus is off doing I don’t know what yet in trhe 5th.
Uranus transiting my third house.
I’ve been breaking away from my sister more and more and since we’re twins she is doing the same! Not a bad thing; I think just solidifying our separate identities.
A good use of that energy, Sara!
I have natal 8th house Uranus in libra and at the moment I have a 2nd house transit along with neptune transit in pisces 2nd house too. I like the liberation part as I’m praying for innovative ways of making a livelihood as I can’t go ‘back’ to office style prison. Putting my back out last week has helped shift my life axis I think! xox
Oh I do know what you mean, Kaz! The good/bad thing about Uranus: can’t predict it. Get well soon xo
Thank you ! xox ♥
Uranus is transiting through my 8th too. What scares me most is being energetically bound to anyone or anything that threatens my spiritual autonomy by pretending to be something it’s not and trying to force me to go along with the lie. Even if I don’t *know* for certain, I sense it and the truth gnaws at me, fighting to get out. Maybe what scares me most is my powerful (and visceral) reaction when I can’t take anymore and either the truth finally comes spilling out or I suddenly free myself.
Normally I *try* to move mindfully through my 8th, something Uranus has little patience for. Before Uranus went retrograde, it entered my 8th briefly last year and I discovered a huge secret kept from me since childhood – it helped me to understand a lot of things about my life. There are secret treasures buried alongside the land-mines – who knows what Uranus will uncover this time around!
Interesting, someone predicted for me discovering secrets and stuff… but it hasn’t been that for me yet. But there’s still plenty of years to go…It has been about setting myself free though. Also my progressed Moon is in Aries but farther along than Uranus…
Uranus conjunct your progressed Moon might be interesting. Hopefully, more freedom in a good way.:)
what if your natal uranus is in 8th house? does this mean freedom from debt? or does this mean you are free from debt since birth?
It’s been going through my 6th house, it’s almost opposite my AC… have had odd physical issues, unexpected… my daily routine is completely different than it used to be as well…. little nervous about that 7th house transit coming up!
Nervousness?
yes, nervy stuff and feeling nervous and unsure, exactly! balance is off, and I am libra so… ack!
I can’t imagine what it must be like to be Libra. Oh wait a minute. My progressed Ascendent and Venus are in Libra hmmmm
🙂 welcome to the club!
9th house along with my natal sun mars and mercury. Still not sure what is going on moments of stress and clarity as well.
