Uranus, the Planet of Shock and Surprises, Is Moving Direct—So Expect, Well, Anything!

Change is coming.

On January 14, Uranus moves direct in the sign of Taurus, ending a five-month retrograde period that began in August 2020. In astrology, Uranus is the modern ruler of the most “out-there” sign, Aquarius (Saturn, the ancient ruler, is in Aquarius right now). As Uranus continues its movement through the sign of Taurus, it can bring sudden shifts and events that challenge our collective self-worth, values, and finances. This means: Change is coming, honey.

Right now, Uranus is being activated by a connection with the planet of action, Mars, which is currently in its detriment in the sign of Taurus ("in its detriment" = this planet and sign don't mesh well together). Uranus will also be receiving some challenging energy from a powerful stellium (three or more planets within a sign) in Aquarius. This stellium consists of the Moon, Mercury, Jupiter, AND Saturn. In English: Major shifts and changes are coming for us all. But don't be afraid! Change can be good.
