Lesson 1: Design Your Dream Relationship
Uranus: Your Rule-Breaking GPS
My Uranus is in (zodiac sign): _________________________
Rules were made to broken, right? After graduating from Saturn’s boot camp, Uranus liberates you from the stuffy vibes and sounds the call for freedom. As the planet that rules the higher mind, Uranus can bring a refreshing mindfulness to bedroom activities. Kundalini yoga and tantra are examples of Uranus’ high-minded sexiness, teaching us how to use the electricity (or chi or life force energy) that runs through our bodies so we can enjoy soulful sensuality. The placement of this rebellious planet in the chart shows where you are willing to experiment. Maybe that means dating Cupid's sampler platter, bringing new toys into the bedroom (Uranus rules electricity), exploring an open marriage, or backpacking through Asia with your S.O. for a year. Whatever the case, Uranus shakes up the status quo. But the side-spinning planet can be a crazymaker, creating chaos and claustrophobia when things get too intimate. As the cosmic community builder, Uranus reminds you of the importance of stepping outside the couple bubble to spend time with friends—and also embracing the joy of being single when there’s no one in the picture.
