The current chart reveals a square connecting Uranus on the zero degree of Gemini in the Tenth House to the Ascendent on the 25th degree of Leo. In astrology, a square is an aspect, and an aspect represents the relationship between two planets or points. Sometimes, two planets can be in total harmony, and other times there can be a lot of friction or agitation between them. Specifically, the square represents a blockage. Astrologers often say the square means two planets are squaring off to fight. When two people square up or off with one another, it can mean they’re about to start trading blows, and that best describes the relationship between the planets connected by a square. They’re not happy, and they’re not getting along.
Just like people, when two planets are at odds, communication suffers, and generally, the flow of energy does as well. Let us imagine that you are the owner of this current chart that has a square connecting Uranus in Gemini in the Tenth House to the Ascendent in Leo. What would this mean for you?
Uranus is the God of Awakenings and Transformations. He represents the unpredictable, unimaginable, and uncontrollable things that happen randomly in life. Humans have what is called a subconscious mind, and the subconscious is represented by the Moon. Lots of stuff is stored in the subconscious. It’s like a filing cabinet that holds massive amounts of information, knowledge, and even ancient wisdom that has accumulated during our many lives here on earth.
At some point, we might need to access some of that information to help us right now in this current life, but we just can’t open the filing cabinet. When the time is right, Uranus will wake us up, and a flood of information will transfer from the subconscious mind (represented by the Moon) to the everyday awakened mind (represented by Mercury) so that we can process it and make use of it. Uranus is also connected to lightening, electricity, and flashes of insight or genius thoughts.
In the Tenth House, which rules our career and reputation with the public or within our communities, there’s going to be an awakening, and this awakening could be at odds with who you are as an individual.
The Ascendent represents the eastern horizon at the time of your birth, and according to this chart, Leo was rising when you were born. The Ascendent is the cusp or beginning of the First House, and the First House is the House of Self. It represents you.
Leo rising indicates a personality type that can absolutely be stubborn, prideful, egotistical, self-centered, dogmatic, and possibly, extremely lazy-not always, and not for the duration of your entire life, but it’s quite possible that you displayed these qualities at one point or another. This could also be you now.
Leo represents emotional fire and the need to be expansive. Leo rising represents a person who desires growth, personal expansion, and covering new ground because ultimately, you want to be seen or recognized. Respecting authority and having someone over you or telling you what to do, is something you need to work at because it doesn’t come naturally. Leo is the king of the jungle and there can only be one King.
At the top of the chart, Uranus is in Gemini in the Tenth House, and Gemini is the sign of the Twins (siblings). When you take that into consideration coupled with the fact that the Tenth House is involved, you can immediately see a possible problem occurring because the Tenth House is a public house where we’re often scrutinized and placed under the microscope of those we deal with and work for. In addition to that, Gemini unlike Leo, involves two people, and when two people are involved, the individual self must be placed on the back burner so to speak. Leo doesn’t like being placed on the back burner.
Now, keep this in mind. Squares are there to help us learn, so no matter how painful or difficult this situation between Uranus and Leo might be, it’s ultimately there to teach us something and to help us learn a lesson.
Well, what we are quite possibly looking at here in this chart is our resistance to the domestication of our wild (Leo/Lion) side. The Sun rules Leo, and Mercury rules Gemini, and both are in Taurus in the Ninth House.
There have been long discussions and talks over a long a long period of time about the things we want, need, and desire. The personal possessions we would like to acquire, and the resources we need for survival-we thought long and hard about all of it, and those conversations could’ve taken place with a brother, a sister, or a member of your extended family.
It’s not a secret that Leo would rather be a gang leader and run his own operation then get up every day and go to work for someone else, but how’s Leo going to get the things he wants and needs if he’s in jail?
A Tenth House awakening through Gemini helps you realize that life isn’t easy, and those of us who aren’t lucky enough to inherit a boat load of money or win the lottery jackpot have to acquire our personal possessions through the hard work of Tenth House. Yes, Capricorn rules the Tenth House, so you know it’s going to be a grind, and you know it’s going to require discipline.
That’s just one scenario.
We could be looking at a situation where you lose a job. Maybe you unexpectedly get laid off or you get fired. Maybe you get hurt on the job and can’t work (Gemini/shoulders or Leo/back). At first, you’re really upset about this, and it bothers you. You just invested the last ten year of your life with a company who let you go without warning or reason.
That emotional fire of Leo could have you roaring, but then you realize something when you calm down. You and a family member have been discussing the possibility of starting a business together. For the past ten years, your career prevented that from happening, but now, you’ll have all the time you need.
Now, let’s talk about the elements and qualities associated with the signs. With Gemini, we’re dealing with mutable air, which is really intellectual adaptability, and with Leo, the fixed fire can be emotionally stubborn.
How many times have you been in a situation where your beliefs were challenged? It might happen often depending on how much you interact with others, and it might not even be a direct challenge. It could just be a situation where you thought you knew the truth about something because someone you trusted passed along some information to you when you were really young. Through Leo, you grew up with set beliefs about certain subjects, but the mutability of Gemini in the Tenth House is allowing you to learn through self-expression or conversations in general with other professionals.
Uranus there symbolizes an awakening, and boom!
Suddenly, everything you ever believed is coming into question, and this can be really upsetting. This is really what the square represents, but remember, there’s a lesson involved. As upsetting as this may be, no one is intentionally trying to tear your world down. At the end of the day, wouldn’t you be better off standing on a foundation built of truth instead of one built on myths, legends, and lies?
What I see when I look at this alignment along with several other key placements, is a situation involving love that’s about maturing and growing up. With Leo rising, it seems like maturation comes really late in life, but it does come eventually. It’s very difficult for a Leo rising native to grow up and accept responsibility because they would much rather spend their lives roaming, preforming on the grand stage, and not taking anything serious.
It’s usually something involving the career or how we’re seen by others that wakes us up to certain realities of life. It’s a very painful and difficult lesson-one that often leaves us asking;
Can’t we just stay golden forever?
