In this episode, we speak with Australian astrologer, Alicia Yusuf. The subject: Uranus, that boundary defying planet of disruption and chaos. One of the many cool things about Uranus is that it fits neatly into a human lifespan — Uranus takes 84 years to orbit that Sun.  Uranus’ cycle provides a helpful frame to understand our own lives as we pass through the thresholds of being human. One of the most famous “pitstops” on this journey occurs around age 42, when transiting Uranus opposes our natal placement, and any authenticity we’ve shied away from becomes impossible to ignore. 

Together, we discuss: the myth of Uranus; the contests (and meeting points) between Uranus and Saturn; Uranus generations by sign; the famed Uranus opposition and its impact on midlife; cryptocurrency; and dreams.
