Predicting Uranus Retrograde's Unique Impact on Each Zodiac Sign
Have you ever wondered how a planetary retrograde could spark radical self-reinvention? Join me, Evan Nathaniel Grim, on Astrology Unbound as we uncover the profound impact of the current Uranus retrograde on each zodiac sign. This episode promises an in-depth exploration of Uranus's unique journey in Taurus and eventually Gemini, emphasizing the importance of embracing change and innovation during this transitional period. We delve into the mechanics and symbolism of planetary retrogrades, focusing on how Uranus challenges established norms and promotes transformative growth.
We'll uncover the eccentric nature of Uranus, drawing intriguing parallels with iconoclastic figures. This discussion highlights how Uranus's current transit through Taurus impacts personal values, financial systems, and even physical changes to our planet. We'll also anticipate Uranus's shift into Gemini in 2025, forecasting its potential influence on communication and societal change. This episode is a call to rethink and realign our values amid evolving societal landscapes.
I also provide horoscopes explaining how each sign is uniquely affected by Uranus Retrograde. Tune in to Astrology Unbound for a holistic view on harnessing this retrograde's energy for personal and collective reinvention.
Hey, there it's. I'm Nathaniel Grimm, and welcome to the latest episode of Astrology Unbound. Today, I will be covering how each zodiac sign is impacted by this highly significant Uranus retrograde and how each sign can radically reinvent themselves during this time, and, in my opinion, this is the most critical Uranus retrograde that we've had since 2017. Before I begin, though, be sure to check out my Substack newsletter for an in-depth breakdown of my predictions for the globe, my step-by-step manifestation guides for each full moon, intention-setting recommendations for new moons, educational content and more. I do have a paid service through that, where you can access my sign-by-sign predictions and my horoscopes, and you can also access a monthly call with me where you can ask me questions and we can talk about the transits that are currently going on, and I also offer a monthly channeled message, and September's is available on my newsletter. So on to today's topic. This is all about Uranus retrograde, and this one is very, very important to cover, because, when Uranus finally moves forward again early next year, it's actually going to leave the sign of Taurus eventually and go into Gemini, and Uranus has been in Taurus since 2018. So this is naturally going to be a major transition. Let's start to talk about Taurus and Uranus individually, and then I will break down how this retrograde is going to operate for you, and then I will also address its eventual ingress into Gemini and what that will mean for the collective and for you. First of all, what exactly is a retrograde? You probably heard me talk about this a few episodes ago when I was discussing Mercury retrograde, but all of the planets retrograde. Now, when I say planets, I mean the actual planets. The Sun and Moon do not retrograde, but the inferior planets, mercury and Venus, they will retrograde. And the superior planets, mars, all the way out through Pluto, they will also retrograde. And Chiron, by the way, retrogrades. And the retrograde is an optical illusion. It simply appears to reverse track.
Speaker 1:From a geocentric standpoint here on Earth and in the case of the outer planets and the superior planets and any planet that has an orbital or an orbit beyond that of Earth's, what we see from a geocentric perspective is the planet starts to station retrograde before it reaches in opposition with the sun. So in the case of Uranus, for example, uranus stationed retrograde on September 1st, while the sun was in Virgo, so that's a wide trine. So in this case, uranus stationed retrograde before the trine, before it actually was trining the sun, and the peak of the retrograde occurs when the sun opposes Uranus, so that's almost like a full moon moment for Uranus. It definitely heightens, in a lot of ways, the energy of that planet in the synodic cycle. So, from a geocentric standpoint, like I said, it's really occurring as the sun starts to position itself slowly, steadily of course, it starts to position itself opposite that planet, and this is, by the way, only pertaining to the superior again, the superior planets. But from a heliocentric standpoint, we're actually seeing that planet, that superior planet, begin to slowly align with the Earth. So, for example, during a Mars retrograde, during the absolute peak of a Mars retrograde let's say it's retrograding in Gemini you'll have the Sun in Sagittarius opposing Mars in Gemini. So, again, geocentrically, we're seeing that planet oppose the Sun and receive that Sun's light and be illuminated by that Sun. And again, just in the same way that a full moon is a sun-moon opposition. But again, if I was to look at it astronomically, look at the solar system, really, what you would see there is the planet that's starting to retrograde, is starting to again align with the Earth, which creates this sort of, again, optical illusion.
Speaker 1:And this is just this sort of bizarre moment where, as the planet begins to align with the Earth, from Earth's perspective it's like we can't tell if the planet is moving forward or backwards, just like when you have two cars driving side by side and there's like sort of, but the speeds are slightly different and you can't tell if the car beside you is going backwards or forwards. So that's the kind of the mechanics of the retrograde. But the retrograde itself, like symbolically pertains to this reversal of course or this reversal of our, of the planet's track and and and motion through the sky. It's kind of like an inversion of that planet's effect on our lives. So when a planet is direct we can really activate that planet's energy and move forward with it and, you know, make new decisions through the lens of that planet. But then when it retrogrades we have to internalize and reflect on how we are using that planet's energy and also that planet's sort of expression becomes slightly more dysfunctional and a little bit weaker Because again it's moving backwards, so it's not functioning as normal. But a retrograde is not a negative thing. It is an opportunity to again reflect on, introspect and internalize that planet's role in our psyche, in our experience.
Speaker 1:And with Uranus retrograde, we are revisiting the radical changes that we may want to institute in our lives. We could be revisiting some of the shocking moments that we've experienced while Uranus was direct and I will quickly give you the timeline of Uranus, you know, being direct. So Uranus stationed direct at 19 degrees of Taurus on January 26th of this year. It's stationed retrograde September 1st of this year at 27 degrees of Taurus. So, first of all, if you have prominent placements between 19 and 27 degrees of Taurus, or Scorpio or Leo or Aquarius, then you are definitely highly affected by this retrograde and the effect will be commensurate with the planet involved or the chart point that's involved. So if you have Mercury, let's say, at 22 degrees of Taurus, then you will have to apply this to your Mercury placement. So you may be rethinking well the ideas, the conversations that you've had. You know, and that actually is a very innovative type of retrograde for you. If it's retrograding on your moon, you could be revisiting the changes, the sudden changes you've experienced in your home or with your family. Maybe you're reflecting on the sudden move across the country that you made, or something like that. That is, generally speaking, what we're discussing here, but I want to break this down by parsing out Taurus and Uranus.
Speaker 1:Uranus is in the sign of Taurus, like I said, since 2018. Now, number one just keep in mind that Uranus has actually fallen in the sign of Taurus. It is not comfortable in Taurus because Uranus is the great awakener, it's really an agent of change and shock at times and Taurus, in a lot of ways, is the most stable sign. Not only is it in the fixed modality, but it is an earth sign, so it's within the earth element, and Tauruses, as I'm sure you've experienced in your own life, can be very obstinate and they can be very stubborn and really holding on to either their material reality, their personal possessions they maybe hold a certain value system that they're unwilling to break, or they like to just maintain a consistent lifestyle or experience, and so when Uranus is in that sign, it's like an earthquake. It's like the stability. The place in our chart where we look for stability is not like operating the way we want. It's like the place where it's like our sanctuary, our garden, has just been like completely uprooted and all the flowers are just strewn across the yard and it's just like you know, and it's just complete pandemonium. That I'm sure for you, you can corroborate this. That's probably been your experience since 2018. You've probably had absolutely confounding moments over the past six years where, again, something you thought was rock solid in your life was not.
Speaker 1:But let's actually delineate the qualities and meanings behind the sign of Taurus. Taurus, some of the key concepts include self-worth, and I actually think that that's the first one that comes to mind whenever I'm discussing Taurus, because Taurus is ruled by Venus and Venus is about value, and Venus rules both Taurus and Libra, and in Libra, venus is a lot more about the value of the other person across from you, more about the value of the other person across from you, the value of that one-on-one connection. Taurus is more so the value of either hard assets, personal possessions, or the value of the self. So it's really about our self-worth and, in addition, our code of ethics and values, our natural abilities and talents, and so I think in some respects, you know, taurus has a connection to the self-esteem. Taurus also is about abundance and creation, and Taurus and Scorpio definitely have a procreative dimension to them.
Speaker 1:In terms of the values piece, I think that Taurus really is about anchoring itself in its core values. So every time I see like a Taurus stellium in a reading or in a session. I tell them really just like write out your top five values. Write out your top values and see if they are aligned or misaligned with the job you have, the people that are in your life, and so on. If there's an alignment there, taurus is really patient. If there's not an alignment, that's when the bull gets kind of rattled and angry. So, with Uranus being in Taurus, I do think this has a lot to do with the reinvention or overhauling of our personal values.
Speaker 1:Taurus is also about cherishing the richness of the natural world. Taurus is really grounded in the five senses and anything that's obvious, conspicuous and apparent. If a Taurus loves music, it will really surround itself with musical experiences. If Taurus loves nature, it will immerse itself in nature, and so on and so forth. Now we have to apply Uranus, though, to this. So that's just again some of the general archetypes of Taurus.
Speaker 1:When we talk about Uranus, this is fundamentally the planet of shock and change and disruption, reform, rebellion, eureka moments, revolution, reinvention, technology, astrology, innovation, iconoclasts, the collective consciousness and electricity. And Uranus is also the higher octave of Mercury. So Mercury is very much pertaining to everyday thoughts, conversations, the mental faculties, and is very much about the individual thought process and the individual communication. Uranus is about the collective consciousness and it is really about these sort of flashes of brilliance as well in your own mind, where it can almost be at the sort of genius level. But I think that it has a lot to do as well with a sort of hive mind or a collective mind like the internet. I mean, uranus has associations with social media and the internet and like that really is its own brain, it is its own processing machine. And I think that as Pluto goes into Aquarius which is ruled by Uranus, by the way we are reaching this turning point in society where we kind of process the news all at once as a collective body or as a collective mind, and so we are all experiencing the emotions, we're ingesting the information all simultaneously. So I think it's pretty easy to argue that there is a collective consciousness that responds to the stimuli, and that's a very Uranian concept. But you know, uranus can also be this idea of, you know, connecting just a subset of people together in a community or something like that and bringing that community together to drive sudden change, to drive progress and using that group as a vehicle for progress.
Speaker 1:And you know Uranus can get sort of radical rebellious, almost to a fault at times. But you know Uranus is the planet that can turn everything sideways or upside down. And even if you look at Uranus's actual like axial tilt, you know it's very bizarre Uranus actually rotates on its side. So Uranus is at almost a 90-degree angle in terms of its rotational axis. So yeah, uranus, even astronomically, scientifically, empirically, it really rotates in its own quirky way. And that's Uranus. Uranus is the quirky, iconoclastic side of life. You know it's avant-garde, it's unconventional.
Speaker 1:So, like any, you know, think about any artist who has completely reinvented a genre, an artist who has been provocative, an artist who has defied the wishes of their manager or their record label or whatever. You know, when I think about Uranus in that context, I think about this band that I grew up listening to from my hometown of Minneapolis, the Replacements. So they're a fantastic 80s alternative indie band and they really helped sort of birth the whole like indie genre. And you know they famously or infamously played on snl in the 80s and you know they purposefully just got drunk before the actual performance and they did a really sloppy job and I think they like cursed on stage and snl banned them. They were like we don't want you back, but you know, it's a pretty punk rock moment and actually I think they ended up playing again on snl I, I think in like 2014 or something. But that's Uranus.
Speaker 1:Uranus is just saying I don't care, I'm need to balance Saturn and Uranus. And I would argue actually you can't really talk about Uranus without talking about Saturn. Saturn is nearer to the sun than Uranus and Saturn is the last sort of classical planet in ancient times. So, with Saturn having a ring around it, it naturally represents, like, the boundaries in life, the limitations. And then Uranus is saying, as that next planet that was discovered, it's saying well, no, I can shatter those limits, I can liberate myself, I can elevate the collective consciousness through some kind of like again, new or novel concept or epiphany or idea or technology or platform. Uranus has this electrifying energy that jolts us into a new timeline or helps us make a quantum leap.
Speaker 1:And Uranus in Taurus. Now let's start to alchemize these meanings. Uranus in Taurus is very much about the radical reinvention of our personal values. It has a lot to do with the reinvention of finance and financial systems and money. Think about the surge in you know the whole topic around cryptocurrencies. It has a lot to do with monetizing your internet life or your social media life. It also is about espousing and valuing Uranian things. So starting to value reform, starting to value progress and change.
Speaker 1:Even if Uranus has fallen in Taurus and shaking up those foundations and aggravating us, like I said earlier, it's completely ripping up the garden. It's shaking and rattling the person who's been on the couch just comfortably watching television and enjoying ice cream and saying no, no, no, you got to. You know, go outside and run outside right now and you're like it's 2 am. You know I don't want to do that, and Uranus is just like, okay, well, you know, we're just gonna, now we're gonna tilt your house sideways, so you just they fall out onto the sidewalk and there you go. Uranus and Taurus speaking of can also be about earthquakes and changes in the earth, changes in the land, and we've seen that plenty of times. We've seen in California how like just entire highways on the coast will just rupture. We've seen, you know, massive earthquakes and a whole host of other things.
Speaker 1:But I think that in this case, during the retrograde, you know you are with the trying to Pluto. Actually, I think that you are really assessing and reevaluating your personal values in the context of Pluto's final passage through Capricorn. So what kind of value system do you want to uphold, as society is at a massive turning point, as the United States wraps up its Pluto return, as the United States goes through the presidential election, which will probably transform the country, it's like what values are going to carry you into the next era? Because the things that you value dictate your actions, right. They dictate the stance you take in certain situations. They dictate how you respond to certain challenges and the priorities you set. So it's a monumental retrograde and in this case, it's going to station direct and then go all the way into Gemini next year.
Speaker 1:The last time that Uranus stationed direct and entered a new zodiac sign for the first time in that cycle was 2017, when it went from Aries to Taurus. So this is the most significant Uranus retrograde in seven years. And when it goes into Gemini and I'll find the date here in a second Uranus went to Gemini, july 7th of 2025. And, lo and behold, opposite of Sag, Moon, venus and Gemini. Wow, that's going to be a really interesting time. So when Uranus goes into Gemini and, by the way, it's just going to peak into Gemini and then go backwards in Taurus again. So it's not the only time, the only ingress it will ever make into Gemini, but I still think it's a powerful moment because when it goes into Gemini it will try Pluto and Aquarius. We have Saturn and Neptune next summer in Aries, briefly.
Speaker 1:So yeah, I mean Uranus will go back into Gemini November 7th of 2025, and then April 25th 2026. And by April of 2026, it's solidly in Gemini. It has still a dance with Taurus for the next year and a half in some respects, but the first time it enters a new sign, it starts to take on the qualities of that sign. It starts to challenge that area of the zodiac. It starts to, in the case of Uranus, electrify that area of our birth chart. And the Uranus ingress into Gemini will reinvent, I think, all types of communications technologies. We've been sitting and watching, you know, watching the same iPhone come out every year. You know, okay, there's some tweaks there, like here and there, but it's been the same product for a long time. It hasn't made a quantum leap, and Uranus is all about quantum leaps.
Speaker 1:So when Uranus goes into Gemini, the sign of communication, especially everyday communication, trining Pluto in Aquarius, which is ruled by Uranus, goes into Gemini. The sign of communication, especially everyday communication, trining Pluto in Aquarius, which is ruled by Uranus. I think there will be a new device At some point between now or between next summer and April 2026, I think there's going to be some new mode of communication. Maybe it's just like something like real-time foreign language translation so that, like people can truly communicate with anyone when they're traveling anywhere in the world and it's seamless, like. Maybe it's something like that conversational tech and you know, we start to see some rendition of like the movie her, where like people are straight up just having casual conversations all the time with their like ai boyfriend or girlfriend and it's like super weird and futuristic.
Speaker 1:I mean that's kind of a scary future. Right, it could. It could make us very detached from our original nature. It can in some ways strip us of our soul and what makes us you know again, not only what makes us human, but it can detract from our soul's evolutionary mission trine to Pluto at that time.
Speaker 1:But this is why the Uranus retrograde is so important in Taurus, because you have to future-proof your values, you have to ground your values, you have to espouse, I think, very human values that can help you maintain a sense of integrity and consistency in your track. Once the pace of change and the pace of technological innovation, just like quickens and accelerates, you know, at that point it's like what does it even mean to be human if we just have these digital appendages, you know? Or if we have these digital romantic partners, like, what kind of future is that? So we're going to have to ask some very existential questions when Uranus goes into Gemini. But I think you will be in a much stronger position to manage that if you really really dig into your set of values right now, your code of ethics, the way in which you ground yourself and connect to the earth, connect to the land, connect to the five senses, stay in your body. If you do all those things, then I think that this retrograde can literally preserve your sanity. I honestly think when Uranus goes into Gemini it's going to be really exciting, but we might not live a fully human life at that point.
Speaker 1:So, anyways, let's go to the horoscope piece of this episode. So what does Uranus retrograde mean for each sign? So I'm going to talk about it from Aries through Pisces here and give you some quick pointers in terms of like how you can you know what area of your life is also being reinvented, in the sense that you're reflecting on the sort of reinventions or changes you want to institute. And, by the way, you know, a lot of your reflecting will probably be on things that occurred unexpectedly in your life between January of this year and September of this year. So that's like really the window that we're talking about, but it could, in theory, be something that you've experienced all the way going back to 2018.
Speaker 1:But every sign will, in some respects, be revisiting and reflecting on the sudden, unexpected changes and shocks in their lives so far this year, and you'll also be reflecting on the ways in which you want to again liberate yourself from other people's expectations of you. You'll be reflecting on how you want to defy the status quo, et cetera. So the retrograde could be again like very freeing for you, where it's like you realize I don't want to be self-conscious anymore, I don't want to espouse values that give too much power to like my father or my mother or my grandfather, or someone who, or a teacher who maybe is actually restricting my potential. Like you might wake up to something and realize like wow, like I want to completely change my financial life or my social life or my health or something like that. But it kind of depends on your rising signs. So let's um, let's dive into that right now.
Speaker 1:So let's start off with Aries. So this Uranus retrograde is going to give you the tools to reflect on all the ways in which you want to upgrade your financial life and maybe devise really clever ways to improve your finances, make money through alternative means, or something it could also show you. I mean, because it's in the second house here, it's like you know you could overhaul your personal values. You could also reflect on how you want to change your sense of self-worth, but I think a lot of you will start to value even more so personal autonomy. You know you'll kind of like embrace the sort of maverick sort of values or persona and you know you again could find alternative ways to generate your income. Maybe it's through social media, maybe it's through crypto or something else. And you might also reflect on any moments this year where the floor just fell out from under you regarding your finances. Maybe you randomly lost a job this year. Maybe you randomly started spending too much money this year.
Speaker 1:Reassess the. You know not only your values, but the ways in which you can grow your wealth and also the missteps you may have made and the way like you may look back at all the confounding moments financially this year, for you come up with a different way to you know, tackle your finances or build wealth so that it doesn't feel shocking or incoherent or seemingly random all the time. So I think areas you're trying to stabilize your finances in a way, but I think you're also trying to again think about different roads and routes to wealth. But I do think for some of you it might have nothing to do with finance. It may have a lot to do with just again changing your values.
Speaker 1:Taurus this is the most significant for you because it's in your signs. So for Tauruses, you're revisiting and reflecting on again anything that any of the significations of Uranus. You're reflecting on the radical changes you may want to institute. You're reflecting on, maybe, some community dynamics. You want to change in your life. Maybe you want to step into a new community. You're rethinking your social media strategy. Maybe you're rethinking again, like Aries, actually different alternative routes to making money and wealth. You're thinking about and reflecting on all the sudden changes you've made this year, all the quantum leaps you've made this year. So for a Taurus like maybe just pat yourself on the back and say, hey, at least I survived the Mars-Uranus conjunction in July, you know, and I managed the instability just fine, or I barely did, but thank God I did and this is what I learned from it. And if you're a Taurus who still feels stuck in place with something, this retrograde can help you kind of rouse yourself into a state of excitement about the future. It's like what kind of really exciting future do you want to envision and how do you want to get there and how do you want to break out of any stagnation? So I think it's a really again excitable, but in a good way, transit for Taurus.
Speaker 1:For Gemini, this is in your 12th house of spirituality and dreams and liminal spaces in past lives and really karmic undoings in some respects. But I think for Geminis, you are reflecting on the radical changes you've made in your spiritual life. You're reflecting on maybe some wild dreams and visions you've had this year and you're going back to it and saying, well, like you know, I maybe am clairvoyant, I may be psychic, I maybe got a download in a dream the other month that was actually really salient and informative and helpful to my spiritual growth. Some of you may you know, if you're doing something I don't know ceremonial like, maybe somehow you'll be able to reflect on your past lives through a flash of brilliance or like a flash of a visual of your past life. Maybe you will tap into a spiritual community at this time. Maybe you will reflect on the retreats that you went to this year. Maybe you will reflect on those retreats and say, well, how do I want to implement that in my everyday life? Going forward, like, do I want to be part of a spiritual community? Do I want to start hosting my own retreats? And say, well, how do I want to implement that in my everyday life? Going forward, like, do I want to be part of a spiritual community? Do I want to start hosting my own retreats?
Speaker 1:And the 12th house can also be very humanitarian. So maybe you're reflecting on different ways that you can move ahead with a humanitarian group, different ways you can heal people. Different ways you can heal the collective, different ways you can, you know, strive for, you know, unity, even in the 12th house. So, you know, for Geminis it's very abstract, but I think it's kind of, you know, grandiose in a really powerful way Because, again, it's like the radical changes that you institute can have ripple effects. The 12th house can have ripple effects. It, 12th house, can have ripple effects. It can ripple out at orders of magnitude. Your genius ideas could heal or affect or inspire not just 100 people, but 1,000, 10,000, 100,000, a million people and so on.
Speaker 1:Cancer this is in your 11th house of communities, groups, social media, politics, innovation and future aspirations. So Uranus is well-placed in the 11th. Because Uranus here is in a position of accidental dignity, because the 11th house has an affinity with Aquarius, which is the sign it rules. Uranus has an affinity with Aquarius, which is the sign it rules. So, uranus in the 11th retrograde, you could be completely reimagining your social life, your friendships. You know Uranus can have a detached energy and an alienating feeling. So maybe you're suddenly reflecting on the detachment you feel from some of your friends, how you feel alienated and isolated and not isolated I shouldn't say that because that's more of a Saturn thing, but you may feel a little bit just like maybe you're not fitting in right now with some of your friends. Maybe you're already in a community, though that you love and you're reflecting on how you want to push that community forward. So kind of like Geminis, I mean there could be, like, maybe a focus on like retreats here, although it doesn't have to be spiritual in this case, because it's in the 11th house. Maybe you're focused on your social media. What's a better way to go viral? What's a better way to gain traction online? Politics and you're reflecting on how you can get even more involved or how you can really integrate your Uranian values into a political sphere or conversation. So for Cancers, I think it's a really, really positive retrograde. If you want to like completely change your friendships, I mean, go for it. If you want a new circle of friends, if you want to be a part of a new community, go for it. If you want to rethink your social media completely, go for it. If you want to aspire towards a completely different future, you can do that too. If you want to like reflect on some innovative ideas you've had, you can do that as well.
Speaker 1:So now let's go to Leo. Uranus is retrograding your 10th. So for Leos, you're reflecting on your career choices and the changes you've made in your career this year and the upgrades you still want to make in your career. Or maybe some of you are parents and you're rethinking how you're parenting your children. And I think, for a lot of Leos, you've probably had some pretty wacky moments in your career this year, destabilizing moments. So this is a time to reflect on that destabilization and those changes and to roll with them, maybe, and to say, well, okay, this didn't go as planned, this didn't go as planned, this didn't go as planned. So how can I shift my perspective, shift my values, so that I can actually capitalize on the sort of randomness I've experienced in my career? How can I completely change my public visibility? How can I maybe help it skyrocket through a different approach? Maybe with Uranus being the genius ideas, maybe you just have this new genius idea for how to move ahead in your career at this time. So I think for Leo, it's actually a really great moment because it will help you again make sense of any sort of again frustrating changes that you didn't plan for and didn't factor in this year within your career. So now during the retrograde, you're like, oh, I can actually see how those seemingly random moments connect and I can see how I can sort of create an opportunity out of that.
Speaker 1:Next we have Virgo. It's retrograding in your ninth house of higher education and travel, and philosophy and the higher mind. So the retrograde in the ninth is helping you reimagine your larger perspective on the world, on life, your belief systems. Some of you could reflect on the ways in which you want to completely overhaul your religious beliefs, maybe your spiritual beliefs For some of you. You may transition out of a certain religion or you may just completely upend the way you see the world. You may also reflect on the countries you want to travel to, the cultures you want to immerse yourself in. So for Virgos, I do think this is this could be like a real awakening for you, but like, specifically in the domain of like faith, belief, the larger macro perspectives that you have on life and where you want to travel. And for those of you who are in the educational space you're trying to get some kind of degree or you're navigating coursework I mean this retrograde could help you rethink your approach to that higher educational experience. Maybe you shift it to an online situation, maybe you create a unique situation where you're just, you know, taking a continuous education class while you're working, and yeah, so I think for Virgos it could be. I think it should be a pretty smooth Uranus retrograde.
Speaker 1:For Libras it's in your eighth house. So for Libras, uranus retrograde in the eighth is, you know, very profound. Actually, there's a lot of depth here, because Uranus in the eighth can have a sudden realization about the subconscious, about the psyche, about the fears that you maybe have avoided, about any complexes, addictive tendencies which, by the way, gemini can kind of revisit some potential toxic habits or mental health-related challenges and sort of reimagine the way in which they maybe approach their mental health. But anyways, to go back to Libra, the eighth house retrograde can also help you generate a totally new passive income stream, can help you rethink your financial plans and strategies and you can sort of, like Aries, find alternative pathways to generating wealth, but in this case in the eighth house, like Aries, find alternative pathways to generating wealth, but in this case in the eighth house, it's wealth that is passive. It could be like stocks or joint partnerships or other sources of income where you're not necessarily having to work for it, and some of you may just radically rethink the way that you're managing your money or managing your finances or your debts, like maybe you start to look into a new financial app or something for managing your savings.
Speaker 1:Others may reflect on some of the like really bizarre but kind of interesting experiences you've had with people this year. If you're like, if you've been like physically intimate with people, uranus in the eighth can be um, you know, uranus retrograde can kind of like kind of be a little bit like unconventional in that department. Uh, so maybe you're reflecting on some of the experimentation you've done in the in with physical intimacy. Um, and also the eighth house is like joint financial partnerships with maybe someone you're married to or you're dating. Some Libras might really revisit all the aspects of their joint partnership with someone and suddenly realize, well, I actually would like to change everything about the way that we're merging assets.
Speaker 1:Now we go into Scorpio, uranus is retrograde in your seventh house, so that's definitely significant. It is helping you reflect on the changes that you've gone through in your relationships this year, the seemingly random ones, like someone's in your life, then they're not, and then someone else is in your life or, you know, during the retrograde. It's like what do you want to change, maybe, about some of your relationships? How do you want to like create a dynamic in your relationships where it's very exciting, liberating, electrifying, or how could you maybe collaborate with your significant friends or your partner in a different way. I mean, the seventh house has a lot to do with significant one-on-one connections, but with Uranus it can have a communal dimension to it. So maybe some of you are reflecting on maybe in wanting a new approach to creating and cultivating really intimate connections with people in a group context, like maybe you want to build a community that you know is very friendly and it feels like everyone's close.
Speaker 1:So I think for Scorpios, like fundamentally you are reflecting on any of the ways in which you want to overhaul your significant relationships and you're hopefully making sense of the chaotic elements of your relationships this year and you're maybe digesting it differently and you're realizing oh, maybe that relationship actually makes a lot more sense for me if I stop resisting the fact that my values are in need of an overhaul. Maybe you're in a relationship with someone who's been challenging you to. You know, espouse more progressive values or just different values or more conservative values, but like whatever it is like your wrongness has changed. So it's like there's something probably about your approach to again your values, or maybe even money with Taurus that maybe has created some friction in your relationship, but like you can think about how your values either do or don't need to change so that your significant relationships flourish. And you know, for some of you you might reflect on your relationships and be like some of you. You might reflect on your relationships and be like, oh damn, like I really want. I really want to change here. I really want to change everything about my relationship. But it doesn't have to be that at that scale Again, you could just realize that there's a way for you to feel liberated in your relationship without leaving it. It's just that you had to maybe overhaul and change some of your perspectives.
Speaker 1:Now we go to Sag, sagittarius. It's in your sixth house of health. I think that's a bit more of a tough retrograde, although you can navigate it, obviously to your benefit. The reason it's tough is because the sixth house does not have a clear relationship to the ascendant. So the sixth house has slightly, you know, difficult connotations, especially in Hellenistic astrology. Like in Hellenistic astrology, it is actually considered the house of bad fortune. Now, it doesn't mean that if you have a lot of planets in the sixth that you're destined for any kind of bad fortune. But the sixth house, you know it has a lot to do with like health and work and co-workers actually pets also is the domain of the sixth. But the sixth house again, because it doesn't connect to the ascendant with a clear aspect it's in conjunct to the ascendant. It has a bit of a I don't want to say like awkward feel to it, but, like the sixth house is a cadent house, so it's like kind of going through change. Right, it's like a transitional house.
Speaker 1:We're, you know, working and improving on our way to a partnership in the seventh house or something like that, but with Uranus in the sixth, here it is, I think, giving you an opportunity to reimagine your health, your daily practices and hopefully can show you some of the insights that maybe you just like didn't really pick up on this year regarding your health. And you know, suddenly you realize, oh, the pathway to fantastic health is for me to completely scramble my schedule and change it, or for me to change my diet completely. I think a lot of Sages will do something like that. They will again change their lifestyle, change their fitness regimen, change their diet, maybe change their work process, the way they relate to coworkers, maybe even change their thoughts on whether or not they want to get a pet or how they're taking care of their pet or something. So for Sagittarius, while I do think like, technically speaking, this is a little bit more challenging for you than for the other signs, it doesn't have to be like a disruption of health because, like your, health was probably disrupted more so when Mars and Uranus were co-present in Taurus like June and July. So the retrograde is a time to reflect on. Okay, how can I maybe again rationalize that, make sense of that process, that, or just redesign some aspects of my life so that I don't feel like my health is being upended and you can come out of that retrograde even healthier. So now we have Capricorn.
Speaker 1:The retrograde for Capricorn is in the fifth house of joy and creativity and amusements, fun and romance. So for Capricorns, you could be reflecting on your dating life, your romantic life, your creativity and considering how you would like to make you know sweeping changes in that area. Or maybe you'll reflect on some of the random occurrences in this department and you'll be reflecting on all the ways in which you've maybe changed your approach to dating or changed your creative process and in so doing, you could electrify your dating life. You could find a more creative pathway to I don't know releasing creative material or to having fun. You could just be like deciding that you would rather invest in this other creative hobby or that, again, you would rather well, with Uranus and Taurus being values, you wanna value your creativity even more and value it to a point where it's like you're investing in it every day. So I think for capricorns it's a positive retrograde. It's really helping you scoop up like other opportunities creatively and maybe even like helping you reflect on ways that you can create something that's kind of provocative, unconventional and avant-garde.
Speaker 1:Now for Aquarius, uranus is in your fourth house of home, family property, inner life and foundation and parenting, and like really parenting from a caregiving perspective. But Uranus retrograde. Here you're probably rethinking any sudden moves you've made this year, like relocations. You could reflect on massive changes that have occurred in your family and you could discover different ways to reinvent your relationship to your family. Maybe to reimagine your home space, to rethink a move that you made. Or, I think for a lot of Aquariuses, maybe to realize that you'd like to move across the country or across the world. Or maybe, with Uranus being community, you realize that you'd like to host more community events at your home or social events at your home. And yeah. So I think for Aquarius it's probably going to be most relevant to focus on like location and cohabitation, like, where are you living and is that exciting for you? Like, or do you feel limited by where you're living right now? Because, like, uranus is seeking liberation, so it's like, okay, do you want to liberate yourself from this seemingly stagnant place you're living in right now? Like, maybe you're living in like this really hot place where it's always so hot, you have to have AC on all day and you're just trapped inside. You're like, no, I'd rather, you know, go somewhere where it's like a little bit more mild or temperate and I could just go hiking all the time. Whatever you decide there, uranus can help you with that. And now we have Pisces, we're closing out with Pisces and I love this one for you Uranus in the third house.
Speaker 1:The third house is our communication, mental faculties. It is our, you know, early education, but like reading also and writing and communication, discussion, the mind really. And Uranus in the third very inventive, very innovative. And during the retrograde you can either revisit some of the really interesting genius ideas you've concocted this year. Maybe some of theiance genius insights can flood in and out of all the signs. I mean I think you could really hatch that really novel idea or that innovative idea that maybe you end up getting a patent for.
Speaker 1:Or maybe you write in the third house, you write some kind of amazing book or story, or you just come up with a really genius idea that helps you, I don't know. You come up with a new entrepreneurial business, or you just come up with a really genius idea that helps you, I don't know, come up, you come up with a new entrepreneurial business, or you invent your way out of stagnation. I mean it is really exciting. You also might, during the retrograde, you know, look back on again some of these genius ideas maybe that you've already come up with during the year. But you know, you're just like rethinking everything. But you're just like putting everything upside down or sideways and then realizing, oh wow, I can solve the problem much more quickly if I think about it this way. Or I can get from point A to point B much more quickly if I think about it this way. So that concludes the Uranus retrograde horoscopes.
Speaker 1:Overall, I think, for all the signs, you're really reflecting on the pathway to liberation, the way forward, you know, and out of stagnation. And, yeah, really, it goes back to your value system, and so how can you really ground yourself in a set of values that will set you up for success as we get into this increasingly detached, technologically saturated world? Before I head out, though, just a reminder to subscribe to my Substack newsletter.
