uranus retrograde
Astrology Forecast August 26 – September 1, 2024
Today and tomorrow, the Gemini Moon emphasizes communication, social interactions, and the desire to explore new ideas and answers.
On Wednesday, Mercury finally goes direct again after three weeks in retrograde. This means the recent period of confusion, delay, and miscommunication that accompanies its retrograde phase begins to dissipate.
You may find that things begin to move more smoothly – plans that have been stalled can gain momentum, and misunderstandings are more easily resolved. It’s a time when clarity returns, making it easier to express ideas, make decisions, and find solutions to lingering problems.
However, some residual effects of the retrograde may linger for a few days, so it’s wise to remain patient and attentive as things gradually get back on track.
On Thursday, Venus moves into Libra, the sign it rules, shifting our focus to relationships, love and daydreaming about the future for the next three weeks.
From Friday through Sunday, the Leo Moon takes over, encouraging us to be generous and attentive to the needs of others.
Sunday brings a major shift as Uranus turns retrograde and Pluto enters Capricorn. These two powerful events mark the beginning of a period of deep transformation, both personally and collectively.
Astrology Forecast January 22 – 28, 2024
Everything in moderation is the recommended mantra this week, as the cosmic outlook promises to be all about tempting makeovers, unexpected new goals and potentially costly reinventions.
The scene is set for a relaxed, even lazy attitude this morning due to a Gemini Moon square to Neptune in Pisces, followed by a lunar opposition to Venus in Sagittarius this afternoon.
Not only do these transits tend to induce a passive, dreamy state of mind, but they can also make us feel a bit hypersensitive, insecure, and unbalanced. The perfect breeding ground for restlessness and dissatisfaction!
Head vs. heart issues can cause us to be all over the place or even volatile today, so take extra care to stay grounded and don’t act hastily. A good way to counteract this is to start your day with a calming guided meditation.
Venus moves into Capricorn tomorrow until February 16, 2024. This could inspire a major personal or home makeover. Makeovers are great, but keep in mind that Venus doesn’t really care about your budget and could have you spending a lot of money to reinvent your lifestyle. Continue reading
Astrology Forecast August 28 – September 3, 2023
We are in for a busy week astrologically, starting with Uranus going retrograde today.
While outer planets can be subtle when they begin a retrograde period, Uranus is the exception, as its very nature is to create unexpected changes. In combination with the Moon passing through Aquarius (the sign Uranus rules) today and tomorrow, it’s best to expect the unexpected.
More annoying than problematic, some of the problems this scenario may cause is oversleeping, overeating, and minor computer or appliance problems. Nothing that comes our way will be too overwhelming to navigate, but it may cause brief delays as we rally to get things back on track.
On Wednesday we’ll have a Blue Moon, meaning it will be waxing full for the second time this month. Thus the saying “once in a blue moon,” to refer to a rare or unexpected event. A Blue Moon usually brings a positive surprise our way, and perhaps this will remedy whatever problems we encountered on Monday. Fingers crossed!
Stay grounded and prepared to face the truth Thursday afternoon, because the Pisces Moon opposite Mercury Retrograde in Virgo could reveal information that may disillusion or compel us to change our mind about a long-held belief. Think carefully before you act and try not to overreact.
If you’re wondering if there will be any quiet days this week, take heart! Friday and Saturday the Aries Moon will restore our energy and get us back on track in no time. And there’s more good news. On Sunday, Venus will end its six-week retrograde and go direct, bringing back the love, passion and beauty that this planet is known for.
Astrology Forecast January 16 – 22, 2023
This week there is a cosmic ‘musical chairs’ occuring with various planets shifting as the heavens align for the beginning of the Chinese New Year this weekend.
Today, the Scorpio Moon will carry an intense vibration, enabling us to get a lot of things taken care of that have been on the back burner since last year.
A lighter energy prevails tomorrow and Wednesday, as the Moon dances through Sagittarius, but we’ll have to watch out for overly sensitive people and potential emotional outbursts. This may partly be due also to Mercury turning direct in Capricorn on Wednesday. This return can cause miscommunication and technical glitches that are sure to try some folks’ last nerve!
The Sun will move into Aquarius on Friday and meet up with Pluto, giving us a sense of destiny and karma to guide our way forward.
On Saturday the Aquarius New Moon will announce the dawn of the Chinese New Year. To add to the drama, Uranus will also turn direct this weekend, after four months of backward motion. This aspect will cement the fact that new beginnings are upon us! With the rare trio of the Sun moving into Aquarius, as well as the New Moon in Aquarius, and Aquarius as the ruling planet of Uranus going direct (as well as Mercury), plus the Chinese New Year all happening within a matter of days, the writing is certainly on the wall: major change for the better is on the horizon.
Astrology Forecast August 22 – 28, 2022
Brace yourself. This week is so packed with astrological shifts that we’ll have to pay close attention to the daily changes it will bring.
The Sun moves into Virgo today, setting us up for a month of inspired thoughts and the desire to create more order and organization in our lives. However, keep your emotions in check as the Cancer Moon
Moon square Jupiter in Aries may inspire risky behavor and bad investments.
We’ll have a quick breather tomorrow, as the Moon moves through Cancer, but on Wednesday, Uranus will turn retrograde and have us questioning everything and everyone. Sudden changes and reversals are a hallmark of this aspect, so be prepared to change direction at a moment’s notice.
On Thursday, Mercury will move into Libra and thankfully restore some balance to our thinking. What we thought was a great idea on Wednesday may prove otherwise on Thursday. So, the trick is to not take action on things too quickly, but to let the dust settle before you proceed. Thursday evening’s Leo Moon conjunction with Venus in Leo will be a lovely opportunity to spend some quality time with your mom or the motherly figure in your life. It will also be the ideal evening for a ladies night or hanging out with girlfriends.
Take advantage of Friday’s Leo Moon to stop and attend to personal needs, making sure you aren’t letting anything fall through the cracks, as you continue through the maze of this weeks’ astrological influences.
Saturday we will have a New Moon in Virgo and yes, you guessed it, even more brilliant ideas rising to the surface. The fun continues on Sunday as we sort through all we’ve discovered this week, as well as what we are imagining for the future.
