The Uranian system is one of the most advanced techniques in astrology today, but what is it? How did it evolve? We'll take a look at the evolution, technique and use of this powerfully interpretive and predictive form of astrology.
The Uranian system of astrology is really our most advanced and evolved system of astrology to date. It was developed in the early 20th century by a group of astrologers and led by Alfred Witte who was really instrumental in cleaning up astrology and shifting it into this new paradigm that is the Uranian system.
Now on first inspection the Uranian system seems to be this really high tech system of precision, which it is, but perhaps the more profound enhancement to astrology is in its ability to reveal patterns, to really illuminate the storyline of an individual in terms of their operation systems, in terms of their consciousness, in terms of their souls journey. Let's take a look at some of the history as well as this three dimensional picture that is the Uranian system.
Alfred Witte was a renowned German astrologer and a member of the Kepler Circle. The Kepler Circle was a group of avante guarde astrologic minds whose main purpose was to clean up and evolve astrology base on the groundwork layed by Johan Kepler. Now up until that time the methods for charting the sky had been fairly crude, going from the advent of the telescope to the pendulum clock, we were still in the early 20th century dealing with a two-dimensional system trying to understand a three dimensional picture.
So Witte and his colleague Friedrich Seigrunn were trying to use the traditional system to calculate and predict Russian artillery barrages during World War I based on precise astrological records that they kept, but they couldn't do it. So Witte creates this whole new system that is geometrically based as well as based on symmetry between planets. So gone is the two dimensional static chart which most astrologers still use today, and in was the moveable dial, and with the moveable dial he can now reference any plane or point he would like and then when he references a point or plane he can see symmetrical arrangements, that is, things that are equidistant to that point that gives us even more information about the point in question. So all these tools and techniques were really a major breakthrough for the time.
Lets go back to the battle front. So with the dial Witte and Seigrunn were now beginning to accurately time the bombardments with amazing precision, but perhaps the equally important discovery Witte had made was that he started to notice unoccupied points on the dial that were repeatedly being activated when things would happen in the environment. And so after years of proofing he aptly named these spots Hades and Cupido. These points are referred to a Transneptunian planets in the Uranian system.
The Transneptunian planets are actually hypotheticals. The physical bodies have never been discovered but they are "points of energy" that have been proofed over years. There are eight Transneptunian planets in all, the first two (Cupido and Hades) being discoved by Alfred Witte and the remaining six (Zeus, Kronos, Apollon, Admetos, Vulcanus and Poseidon), discovered by his students as they carried on Witte's work with the dial. The Transneptunian planets add a tremendous amount of clarity and depth to a chart. I often see it as "putting a magnifying glass to the astrological chart," illuminating already present patterns even more.
The Uranian system of astrology is an energetic picture which gives an infinite amount of information. With the Uranian chart we have a movable dial, which gives us access to an infinite number of points from which to see midpoint structures. Midpoint structures (shown within the highlighted pink square to the left), are points that are equidistant between two planets, and from these midpoint structures we begin to see patterns. Soon we begin to see these patterns repeating, and when patterns repeat what we are getting is a glimpse into the person's consciousness, how an individual is built on a profound level.
