Astroglyph for Uranus

The glyph for Uranus is of modern origin , derived from the initial of its original name, Herschel. It could be interpreted as the unification of the principles of duality, bringing about an ascent of spirit.

Michael Meyer

These are the two aspects of Uranus: one that is born of the craving for gold — the other that blossoms out of a vital quest for God; that is, for "more wholeness" and "greater horizons". "Civilization" comes etymologically from "city" (civitas in Latin); and the word "civitas" brings us back to the old roots of Shiva and Siv. Shiva is in India the Lord of the Burning Ground, Lord of Death and of Transformation. He is the great Ascetic, the Destroyer of earthly things, the Master of all thresholds. "Pass through me into the beyond" is his motto.

But Shiva is also, as Rudra, the Lord of lightning and electric power. He fecundates the soil, releases from the air nitrogen which will serve the purpose of life through the intermediary of nitrogen-fixing bacteria. His progeny is countless. Likewise, immense is the spiritual progeny of the great civilizers who gave men fire, wheels and all the mental tools which have made man both god and devil. But the devil is only a contrast to the god. The Transformer needs also be Destroyer. And there is no death, and there is no hell, save for him who refuses to become transformed. Even he will arise again; for the "cycle of transformations" is ever recurring. At the level of the human individual it is the 84-year cycle of Uranus. At a larger planetary level it is the 10,000-year cycle of the Karma of civilization — the "cycle of overshadowing of the Buddha" mentioned in occult literature.

Uranus circles on. His is the pattern of the Sky. His is the power of electric Fire. Across all things that bow before the rule of Saturn he flashes his periodical signals to the "Heart of the Sun". Men who interpret them, as they flood their consciousness with symbolic images, become indeed children of Uranus. The burden of civilization becomes theirs. Though they suffer Promethean agonies for the sake of lesser men, they are the Seed of spiritual manhood.

Uranus represents essentially the power enabling man to ascend
from one level of consciousness to the next: that is,
to experience a true metamorphosis.

URANUS vs. SATURN: The Value of Inconsistency by Dane Rudhyar

Today one hears so much about "inconsistency", as if to be trusted one's outlook on life or any situation must be entirely fixed - inflexible and unchanging, even in the light newly acquired experience and knowledge. Is such a stance justified, or is it just another way saying "My country right or wrong" and a subterfuge to avoid admitting one's own mistakes and shortcomings?
