All the outer planets relate to the collective (un)conscience ~ Uranus ~ global conscience, Neptune ~ the global psyche , and Pluto ~ global transformation. They play a large role in mundane events, especially terrorism ~Uranus is the sudden, unexpected aspect of it, Neptune is the deceptive aspect and Pluto is the violence and total destruction.
The Outer planets are generational. Because they stay in a sign for so many years, they say a lot about the people born in those times.
While Jupiter expands the mind, Uranus, Neptune & Pluto emphasize the area/experience. Natally, they can define innate behaviors: Uranus ~ instability, Neptune ~ escapism, and Pluto ~ crisis/obsession. However, when they transit your natal chart, they bring about significant events depending on the sign & house, and watch out when they hit a natal planet!
Mercury, Uranus and Neptune also contribute to the Media ~ Mercury being communication & transportation (airwaves); Uranus, the inventive side of technology and Neptune the glamorous side ~ movies, and film ~ creating illusions/fantasy ~ not actual reality.
