This is a week with quite a power-punch! We will see Mercury finally go direct on Wednesday Jan 18th – so while we’ve thoroughly enjoyed all of the tech glitches, travel delays and relatively SHIT TON of miscommunications, there is an end in sight… in three weeks once the shadow period ends on February 8th. However, we should encounter far less turmoil than we’ve been experiencing since mid-December. Need more details? Order a 3 or 6 month forecast and see exactly what the energy is for you!
Then we have a new moon in Aquarius on Saturday 21st so don’t forget to write your Law of Abundance checks! The new moon is all about new beginnings – and Aquarius has us focused on trying something new, socializing, friendship and group activities. Aquarians are also good at thinking outside the box so be prepared to look forward with a fresh positive focus. That Cancer Full Moon was a doozie, so we can finally give our emotions a “break” as we settle down into a more objective state. We can become revitalized through new or just simply DIFFERENT experiences!
Sunday, we see Uranus finally turn direct as it’s been enjoying a retrograde in Taurus (have you been regularly visiting the themes of financial security or personal relationships with others and that ever-fun shadow work for the last few months?) since late August 2022. Uranus is all about CHANGE – and with it going direct in Taurus, all that self-reflection we’ve been covering in therapy or book-club-turned-wine-night has made us stronger, centered and more self-aware and ready to catapult into the change that is coming our way, whether we want it or not, thanks to Uranus.
How did Uranus in Retrograde possibly affect you? Let’s look at the signs, shall we? And from there you can anticipate the upheaval coming your way, forcing you out of your comfort zone.
Aries (Aries dates: March 20 – April 19)– money was the theme – how you make it, how you measure your own self-worth – you likely had to pursue opportunities that were out of your norm to ensure a promise of a pay day down the road. With Uranus turning direct, you may find that your financial situation is getting a shakeup – not necessarily in a bad way, just keep control over your spending.
Taurus (Taurus dates: April 20 – May 20)– with the retrograde happening in your sign, you may have felt that a new ‘you’ was trying emerge and that wasn’t the most comfortable situation. Pushing out of the stagnant status quo will allow you to be seen in a brand new light. With Uranus going direct, how you change will change you feel ~ a makeover may be just the thing you need!
Gemini (Gemini dates: May 21 – June 20)– Gemini’s like to analyze anyways, but you’ve likely been turning a lot of that analysis inwards, focusing on your own spiritual self-care and introspection, perhaps practicing meditation or needing more rest. Emotional closure to prepare you for the change to come. With Uranus going direct, spiritual growth is inevitable so try to embrace the changes you feel.
Cancer (Cancer dates: June 21 – July 21)– Revisiting old friendships or beginning new ones or visiting new social networks was likely the theme – and you’ve been guided to the right people IF you’ve allowed your true self to be known With Uranus going direct, a little thinning of the herd will help you focus on real, face-to-face genuine interactions.
Leo (Cancer dates: June 21 – July 21)– how’s that career? You’ve likely been evaluating whether that current job/career is serving your life’s path sufficiently and keeping you fulfilled. Ambitions vs. Passions could have been the topic of debate the last few months, and how you answer/prioritize those could drive the twists to come in your future. With Uranus going direct, change is coming to your work life, ready or not, here it comes, so be confident as you step into your power.
Virgo (Virgo dates: August 23 – September 22) – you’ve likely been turning your analytical drive inwards to your spiritual evolution, exploring new possibilities/geographic locations either intentionally or accidentally as plans went awry. Spiritual and intellectual growth is on your horizon if you stay open to what is offered. With Uranus going direct, get ready to let go of the old to make way for the new.
Libra (Libra dates: September 23 – October 22)– how’s that shadow work been going? Unearthing and dealing with those inner demons and bringing your dark side into the light has likely brought you to a higher plane of sensuality and intimacy as you’ve learned to love ALL that makes you YOU. With Uranus going direct, it’s time to wrap up that shadow work by forgiving someone in your past for YOUR sake, not theirs. That will give you a massive positive step to the next stage in your (spiritual) life.
Scorpio (Scorpio dates: October 23 – November 21)– Partnerships and relationships (both romantic and platonic) have been the focus as of late, as energy vampires or toxic relationships fell to the wayside so that solid relationships can deepen, and possibly even a new significant connection. With Uranus going direct, if you’re single, be open minded to someone entering your life or to spicing things up in your existing relationship with changes in hobbies, pastimes or intimacy.
Sagittarius (Sagittarius dates: November 22 – December 20)– a solid self-care routine has been critical for you, so if you’ve felt off while neglecting prioritizing yourself, that could be why. This was a time to put yourself first so you can stay clear-headed and it doesn’t have to be anything major – plenty of sleep, drinking plenty of water and keep that body moving! With Uranus going direct, while you’ve been more focused on your health, you may have a little blip coming but don’t panic! It’s just to keep you in line with focusing on YOU and keeping your health a top priority.
Capricorn (Capricorn dates: December 21 – January 19)– normally you’re a little intense if not straight OCD, but you may have lightened up a bit and let those ducks get a little of out order, letting your inner child out to play a bit ~ fear not with Uranus going direct, you can get those ducks back in a row but still have some fun with it – life feel like a pleasure, not full of (often self-imposed) pressure. With Uranus going direct, keep going with that creative flow because what you manage to create now offers you a plan for long term success. Keep those creative juices flowing!
Aquarius (Aquarius dates: January 20 – February 17)– home is where the heart is and that’s where you may have been feeling the Uranus retrograde, facing possible upheaval of your home or just your sense of security and family. If you haven’t already, you may be forging your own path regardless of what your parents’ or relatives’ expectations may be. With Uranus going direct, some family change may be on the horizon, but let it work its way through and in the end, it might actually prove to be helpful. Breathe!
Pisces (Pisces dates: February 18 – March 19)– I’d be curious to hear if you found a new or louder inner voice during this Uranus retrograde, giving a voice to a new mindset or perspective ~ the world is ready for YOUR message. With Uranus going direct, continue to focus on what you LOVE in your daily routine – you may feel a bit burdened with work and “life” responsibilities, but adjusting your routine can and should happen for the best.
