Uranus in Leo

You seek to master your instincts for greater efficiency, and when you succeed, it encourages you to go even further. You are an independent, passionate, and somewhat rebellious person with a strong sense of decision-making.

Uranus in Libra

You tend to wait for the right moment to act, and you may hesitate for a long time between the need for independence and the difficulty of freeing yourself from the ties you’ve formed with others.

Uranus in Pisces

Uranus, the explosive and nervous planet, is here in a sign of letting go and contemplation. This can create paradoxes and anxieties. You may be torn between a deep desire for independence and a fear of displeasing or disturbing others.
