Uranus

Physical Data:

Equatorial diameter: 51,800 km
Density 1.25 grams per square cm
Surface Temperature: -190 degrees Celsius
-210 degrees Celsius (clouds)
Surface gravity: 0.93
Escape velocity: 21.22 km per second
Mean Heliocentric distance: 19.18 A.U.
Orbital period: 84.01 years
Period of rotation: -15.5 hours (retrograde motion)
Inclination of its orbit to the ecliptic 0 degrees 46 min.
Inclination of its axis of rotation: 97 degrees 55 min.
Orbital eccentricity: 0.047
Known satellites: 15

Astrological Significance:

Uranus was officially discovered in 1871. It is almost impossible to see Uranus with the naked eye; thus it remained a veiled planet till the discovery of the telescope. This planet goes around the Sun in 84 years approximately. Its period of rotation is just 15.5 hours. Thus individual human beings would experience no more that one return of Uranus to his natal position in their lifetimes. Collective Entities who may never die may experience an undetermined number of Uranus returns.

Presently it is somewhat difficult to explain the astrological characteristics of Uranus in terms of his known astronomical variables. Astrologically speaking, nevertheless, Uranus profile have been clearly defined. Uranus stands for sudden change, inspired insight, divine judgment.

Uranus also represent individuality, but this time within a much more transcendental context. The Godhead as the ultimate transcendental reality finds its ultimate Identity in the Heavenly Father, ruler of it all. He has the authority not only to create but to destroy as well. As the ultimate reality he is, by definition, an unreachable entity as John once said: "No man has seen God [the Father] at any time: the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him." John 1:18.

Keywords:

Sudden change, inspired insight, divine judgment.

Neptune

Physical Data:

Equatorial diameter: 49,500 km
Density: 1.77 grams per square cm
Surface temperature: -220 degrees Celsius (clouds)
Surface gravity: 1.22
Escape velocity: 23.6 km per second
Mean Heliocentric distance: 30.06 A.U.
Orbital Period: 164.79 years
Period of rotation: 16 hours
Inclination of its orbit to the ecliptic: 1 degree 46 min.
Inclination of its axis of rotation: 28 degrees 48 min.
Orbital eccentricity: 0.009
Known satellites: 6

Astrological Significance:

Neptune is the second farthest planet. Its cycle around the Sun takes about 164.79 years, and its period of rotation 16 hours. Thus while its long term movement is slow, its daily movement is quite fast. Solid long term goals, variable daily objectives.

Theologically speaking Neptune represents the Holly Spirit whose main goal is not to attract attention to himself but to direct it toward Jesus [Pluto] the gate toward eternity.

Keywords:

When true spirituality is found Neptune could de describe with the following keywords: spiritual, Vicarious, Mystic, visions, spiritual gifts, occult.

But when true spirituality is not reach, then the human mind will seek material replacements. Under these conditions Neptune may come to represent: drugs, alcohol, confusion, wishful thinking, escapism, and self-delusion among many similar things.

Pluto

Physical Data:

Equatorial diameter: 2,285 km
Density: 1 gram per square cm
Surface temperature: -238 degrees Celsius
Surface gravity: 0.20
Escape velocity: 7.7 km per second
Mean Heliocentric distance: 39.44 A.U.
Orbital Period: 248.43 years
Period of Rotation: 6.3 days
Inclination of its orbit to the ecliptic: 17 degrees 12 minutes.
Inclination of its axis of rotation: 60 degrees.
Orbital eccentricity: 0.25
Known satellites: 1, Caronte

Astrological Significance:

Pluto is the farthest planet from the Sun. He takes 248.43 years to go around the Sun. Its period of rotation is 6.3 days. Thus both in his yearly and daily cycles Pluto represent stability and power.

Theologically, Pluto represents Jesus, the Verb and Lamb of God. As such Pluto deals with matters of life and death. With Pluto we come to face our eternal destiny and our most transcendental decision: Heaven or Hell; regeneration or degeneration; new birth or eternal death.
