The Astrological Significance of Uranus
Uranus is the Great Awakener. It strengthens intuition, even if it involves rebellion, surprise, liberation and sometimes sudden changes. This ice giant is associated with electricity, lightning, and sometimes shocking events. When well managed, Uranian energy can facilitate enlightening breakthroughs. Improper handling can result in amazing failures.
Ouranos (Uranus) was the ancient Greek god of the sky – the personification of heaven. The Romans called him both Caelus and sometimes Uranus. Uranus rules Aquarius (whose co-ruler is Saturn) and carries within it a rebellious, unique, wild and unpredictable energy. It is at home in the 11th house which governs friendship, social life, groups, hopes, dreams and destiny.
Along with Neptune and Pluto, Uranus is a generational, a transpersonal, and an outer planet. This means that unless it is in strong aspect to one of one’s personal planets, it has a slightly weaker effect on people than inner planets like the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars. (Jupiter and Saturn are the social planets, occupying a place between the personal and transpersonal planets.)
What is Uranus retrograde?
Uranus moves very slowly. It takes about 84 years to move through the zodiac, spending about seven years in each sign. Uranus goes retrograde for about five months each year (a process in which another planet appears to be moving backwards when viewed from Earth).
If you were born Uranus Rx (short for retrograde) then Uranus retrograde is usually a pretty easy time for you because you have been dealing with these energies since you were little.
Dealing with retrograde Uranus
When Uranus is retrograde, the best way to deal with the electric shock that runs through the house it’s in is to just stay flexible. It wants to charge you up and get you moving so you can do what needs to be done and it will give you the boost you need to reach your goals. Uranus Retrograde will also awaken your need to stay true to yourself. The energy of Uranus is here to break down or break through complacency. It can be cunning like a fox or coyote, but if you’re prepared for it, it’ll be less likely to hit you like a bolt from the blue and charge your soul instead.
Additionally, if you are interested in seeing where and how Uranus Retrograde will affect your horoscope specifically, you can consult an amazing astrology psychic who can help you understand what to expect from this transitional period and how to get the most out of it can do.
