From January 22, 2023, from that point, Uranus in Taurus will resume its direct orbit around the Sun.
Uranus is unveiling what it takes to evolve into a new level of BEING.
The awakening and electrically charged energy of retrograde Uranus in earthly Taurus brings challenges and transformation of our values, including our self-esteem, radical innovations of our financial system on a personal and collective level, innovations in sustainability, changes in concept ‘home’ and ‘living’ and in our relationship patterns.
Expect the unexpected with retrograde Uranus, so take into account amazing shifts and unexpected effects, so turmoil in the outer world and the inner world, around us and within ourselves.
During this period, there will be more inner stress and negative manifestations of anxiety such as psychotic, hostile, obsessive and neurotic behavior due to external changes in the world around us.
There will then be multiple manifestations of religious extremism, xenophobia or other forms of bigotry and ignorance.
Fear enormously limits in daily live. Retrograde Uranus allows us to understand old patterns of fear, rejection, limitations and pain in order to fight and then overcome them.
Many of us are waiting for a change in life or want to make changes out of a deep urge or desire for more personal freedom.
In your desire for personal freedom, you may have hoped for a big change in your life, tried to initiate or even force change, but nothing happened.
Nothing changes, and this is mainly because deep-seated fear is the biggest obstacle to making or accepting changes.

Everything comes with a price.
