Uranus Retrograde in Taurus ♅ Aug 28 – Jan 27
Aug 28, 2023 – Jan 27, 2024
Planets in retrograde are not spinning backwards – it is an optical illusion as seen from Earth due to the fact that planets travel at their own respective speeds around the sun. In astrology, this illusion manifests as a “backwards” functioning of the planetary roles. Click here to learn more about retrograde.
Uranus first entered Taurus in 2018 and will remain here until 2026. Uranus turns retrograde for five months every year. Now it’s time to review Uranian lessons from 2023. Taurus the bull represents home, money, and material resources. It has never been more obvious that we must change our relationship to the earth. The message is clear: live lightly on the land. Use only what you need. Share your resources.
Uranus is social and collective in nature. With Uranus (Retrograde) in Taurus, it is time to pool our capital. We are reimagining concepts of wealth and experimenting with how to allocate it to the greater community so it is no longer concentrated in the hands of the privileged. This is true also of cohabitation. We will live together more and more, sharing land and dwellings. With proper allocation, everyone can have their needs met.
Retrograde cycles uproot jobs, relationships, perspectives, and behaviors which have calcified over time and no longer represent our highest vibration / what we need / who we are. You will feel more restless during the coming months but certainly not lost. New levels of conscious awareness are rapidly attained under such conditions. Uranus systematically peels away all that is false until we are more rebellious and independent, more sure of our path.
Uranus Retrograde lifts long-forgotten veils concealing incendiary, insurrectionary spirits inside. When Uranus turns direct again, we will set this new self free, once the subtle restraints and inhibitions of the retrograde have faded into the solid earth.
Let’s talk about Uranus in relation to the outer planets. This planet is very well-situated in Taurus at the moment. Jupiter is currently in Taurus and will be conjunct Uranus next year on Apr 20, 2024 – more on that in a moment. Saturn and Neptune are both in a very sympathetic sextile position in Pisces for the next 3 years. And then there’s Pluto Retrograde, temporarily back in Capricorn, providing excellent earth support as well.
Jupiter conjunct Uranus is an aspect which comes just once every 12 years. (The last occurrence was a triple-conjunction in 2010-2011 in the constellation of Pisces.) I really can’t understate the exciting nature of this conjunction. It signals massive change in our personal and collective lives. We’re going to be traveling and connecting with interesting people. Life will take on a magical quality, stimulating brain and spirit. This is a highly active time. Change and movement roll in from every corner of the universe. Abundance fills the air. Put all of your energy towards Apr 2024 and let the magic happen. Good things are coming. Pleasant surprises around every corner.
