Article by Katherine Anne Lee

The following will complement the previous article on how to deal with the 5-month Uranus retrograde transit that began last August and should help you understand how you are impacted by Uranian energies. Since it is very unlikely that it's back on its initial position in your birth chart (unless you're over 80), it may be interesting, provided you have some basic knowledge in astrology, to look whether it makes easy contacts (sextile, trine) or hard contacts (square, opposition) to its original position in your horoscope. Which should contribute to raise your awareness of some aspects of yourself in the former case or add some strain in the second. Also, as previously mentioned, the house in your horoscope transited by Uranus retrograde should give you an hint of the area of your life in which your natural tendencies (which you'll discover below) will be reflected during this period. Of course, other factors are at play, but let's say you'll get the overall picture of what to expect. Please, feel free to ask questions or share your thoughts in the comment section below.

Uranus moves retrograde in the roots second Zodiac sign of Taurus, between August 11, 2019 and Jan 10, 2020. The planet will stay here in this sign until 2026!

Uranus’ Generational Impact

Uranus moves slowly. It takes around seven years to move through a single sign of the zodiac which means that the effects of this icy gas giant are generational. So unless it’s one of your personal planets (such as the ruler of your rising sign for example — Ed.), Uranus’ influence (similarly to outer planets Pluto, Neptune, and Jupiter) is more sweeping, broader and far-reaching than, say, Mercury. So this last Uranus retrograde was less likely to scramble your travel plans and more likely to catalyze a cultural shift or usher in some sort of overarching technological breakthrough. You may not have felt its astrology personally, but it’s been there, working steadily in the collective background.

Uranus is progressive, original and revolutionary

Undiscovered until 1781, this is a planet that can’t be seen by the naked eye and was completely out of reach until the technology was invented to close the gap. Nearly 250 years ago, it demanded humanity to stretch itself beyond the realms of possibility, in order to make the unseen seen. And today it’s no different – this planet is known as the “Awakener” and its energy forges ahead, shatters illusions, constructs, belief systems, traditions, and basically anything that stands in the way of a bright new future.

It’s experimental, offbeat, and innovative: Willing to stand out from the crowd, whilst simultaneously serving the crowd. As the astrological ruler of Aquarius, those with this sun sign share the same unabashed yet fiercely community-minded spirit.
