Uranus's entry in the sidereal Aquarius Date posted:  March 31, 2001 One of the important planetary events of April is the transit of the modern planet Uranus from (sidereal) Capricorn to Aquarius on April 4. It will stay in Aquarius till July 27, and then with its retrograde motion returns to Capricorn and stays in Capricorn till January 24, 2002. After January 2002 it will reenter Aquarius and stay there for the following 6 to 7 years.  Although it's going to remain in Aquarius only for a short while before it returns to Aquarius next year. Uranus being the planet of change will certainly affect the matters related to Aquarius sign in a big way. The drastic changes in our social perception about the way we live is going to be tremendously influenced by Uranus's entry in Aquarius. In scientific and technological areas expect a lot of big changes and new ideas will find their way to manifest into innovations and discoveries.  The scientific and technological growth rate will rise at a very rapid pace.  A new wave of philosophers with their new perspectives on living, in general, will certainly transform our world in next 6-7 years to a new level of understanding. The transit of Uranus through Aquarius is particularly important for the United States as it directly influences that country in shaping her future.
