Uranus retrograde 2023, from August 29, 2023 to January 26, 2024

All planetary retrogrades give us the opportunity to review, reflect and reassess different areas of our lives.

Uranus retrograde is an annual cycle of 155 days where Uranus drops four degrees.

Uranus descends on August 29, 2023 from 23º4.5 to 19º4.4 in Taurus on January 26, 2024.

The pre-retrograde period already started from May 12, 2023 at 19° Taurus….

Uranus is the planetary wild card of our Milky Way galaxy, breaking down walls in Taurus on a collective level to clear a new path to the future.
The fixed earth sign of Taurus doesn’t like changes…
The implementation of social and individual processes of change will proceeds even more slow…

During this period of internalization, there will be increased inner stress, anxiety, restlessness, neurotic behavior, impulsiveness, anxiety disorders, contractions and mood swings due to external changes in the world around us.

Since Venus rules Taurus, it’s all about personal freedom, money, self-esteem, being stuck in a job you don’t like, changes in the concept of “home” and “living”, friends who turn out not to be true friends.
Do expect the unexpected with retrograde Uranus, so amazing shifts and unexpected effects in the outer and inner world such as strong inner reactions in response to external changes in your life.

Many are waiting for a change in life or want to make changes out of a deep urge or desire for more personal freedom.
Many see that nothing changes and that is mainly because deep-seated fear is the biggest obstacle to implementing or daring to accept changes.
Fear of change is our greatest enemy and hinders personal growth.
We must learn to look at life differently, let go of old ways and create a whole new world from within.

How Uranus retrograde affects each zodiac sign is very different, but we all have one thing in common: a strong need to eliminate unnecessary complications that hinder our freedom.

Uranus will exit the post-retrograde shadow on May 12, 2024 at 23° Taurus.
