Revolutionary Uranus is a big slow moving planet that retrogrades once a year. This year Uranus is at 23 degrees of conservative, earthy Taurus—it stations to go retrograde August 28 and 29: if your Sun, Moon or Ascendant is in Taurus or one of the other 3 Fixed Signs—Leo, Aquarius or Scorpio—there’s a good chance you are feeling pressure to make some big changes at this time.
In work, relationships, creative projects, career path, family patterns—it’s feeling time for a revolution. Especially if your birthday is in the last 10 days of the 4 fixed signs—check the link to Zodiac Sign dates, at the bottom of this forecast, to see.
When things end during Uranus transits, they tend to be big epic breaks: burnt bridges. Humans do not tend to recover well from abrupt endings. There is pressure now to break free but proceed with caution: if you break it, you own it.
Everyone has Uranus, and the sign it rules—Aquarius—in their star chart: the annual retrograde impacts everyone—these days are a bit more intense, because for some around us, things are coming to a head. Like the other invisible distant planets Pluto and Neptune, Uranus symbolizes deep psychological and —subconscious processes at work in our lives.
Uranus symbolizes the human drive to express our unique individual nature—and to celebrate human freedom and champion humanitarian causes. Uranus wants freedom and individuality—but at any cost, and can engage in selfish, chaotic, unpredictable behavior—perhaps you’ve been in a relationship with someone like that.
Right now rebellious Uranus is in an easy angle to fighting Mars in busy Virgo: lots of potential to get tied up in futile, selfish projects, but excellent for focusing on long-term projects what are win-win for everyone involved—laser-like focus in the right direction can go far now. Solutions to complex problems are possible now with just a bit a creativity, which is suddenly available as Uranus slows down to a stop.
Out-there Uranus is also in easy aspect to communicating Mercury at home in the sign it rules, practical but anxious Virgo: Mercury is spinning backwards, so it’s things from the past or things you might have missed the first time around that come up now. Or dreams. Uranus in easy aspect to Mercury means times are ripe for dreams—those of you receptive to this type of communication may have strong or important, meaningful dreams during this time.
Both Mercury and Venus are retrograde now. Things do not easily move forward, when these personal planets are retrograde. With Uranus now stationing to go retrograde, and adding to intensity/confusion, I would advise against trying to launch any big moves right now. Plan, review, edit and most importantly: prepare. But moving forward is for a few weeks down the road.
Uranus is about breakthroughs: often in the weeks leading up to an annual Uranus retrograde there will be new discoveries. These can be personal discoveries. They can be collective. Uranus is technology and the future; but Taurus is no futuristic Zodiac sign, it’s the sign of Civil War re-enactors, archaeology, banks, bubble baths and all things sensual, the health and beauty industry, and people given the label arch-conservative like Tucker Carlson.
In fact, the phenomenon of Taurus Tucker Carlson is a good example: he was fired (Uranus) from his huge-salary (Taurus) job at Fox and then immediately (Uranus) re-invented himself (Uranus) on Twitter (Uranus). Last week, as the Uranus started it’s annual retrograde slow-down, Carlson’s Twitter interview of the former president Trump had huge ratings compared to the Fox cable-TV Republican debate aired at the same time: the new ways for political commentary (Uranus) outperformed legacy (Taurus) methods. Tucker Carlson’s birthday falls within the last 10 days of Taurus: he is very impacted by the current transit of shocking Uranus over his self-esteem Sun.
