Embracing the Unexpected: A Guide to Uranus Retrograde
"Uranus retrograde is a time for introspection, review, and recalibration, prompting us to examine our need for authenticity and freedom."

During this time, its outward energy turns inward, prompting a period of self-reflection and reassessment. This retrograde period is not about external upheaval, but rather about internal shifts. You might find yourself revisiting past events, relationships, or decisions, looking at them with a fresh perspective. Themes of personal freedom, authenticity, and breaking free from restrictive patterns are highlighted. It affects how we express our individuality and the ways we seek change and innovation in our lives.
