Uranus in astrology
In Roman mythology, Uranus (Ouranos in the Greek Pantheon) is the god of the sky and of life. What relationship, you will tell me, with the influence of Uranus in astrology?
Uranus announces the change and surprise (good or bad). When it is favorable, this results in creative impulses and a sudden inspiration. This planet thus brings originality and gives the feeling of progress. She pushes to go forward and not be afraid of novelty.
When Uranus rules in a horoscopewe can deduce that the person will shine by his independence, his ability to innovate and his open-mindednesst. This planet is energizing: it forces you to rise spiritually and mentally and invites you to explore new avenues. Conversely, the planet can have a negative influence that proves devastating when it retrogrades…
When Uranus Goes Retrograde
When a planet changes the direction of its course in the sky, it is said to come into retrograde phase. First, it slows down, then stagnates in the same place and finally begins to move in reverse. Often retrograde phases bring out the negative aspects of the planets.
The planet Uranus retrogrades every year for about 5 months, which is considerable. During this period, one may feel at odds with oneself and have want to give up everything. We then go through an episode of doubt, with the feeling of having chosen a bad path… This can result in separations or some resignations. When these phases of demotion occur, it is better to favor collective projects.
