Uranus Retrograde: Disruptive Change and Hanging On for Dear Life

“It’s about having a breakthrough because of a liberating realization that we just had now over the last few days. You know, that’s what the expression says… When we see something new, we can’t unsee it. You know, even we see some people in our lives, which is frustrating to watch them… how they know better, they’ve seen better, but they still want to hang on out of safety to something that even they know they have to let go of.
It’s a bit like I said at the beginning… because when we have to let go of something, but we don’t know what else is going to replace it, there is a void in the middle, and that’s why people who hang on to for dear life, as if they, you know, they can’t face the void, so they won’t jump on the other side, so they wait until. It all crumbles down and they have no choice…”

Uranus frees you up. It breaks the status quo through fragmentation in a rough manner until things crumble, break apart in an unrefined and messy way in order to put things back together, to reform and remember – that’s why it’s related to the Tower Tarot card. It’ s a wild card, a wake up call, an experimentation, being queer and prodigy. It’s about experimenting something new, having a breakthrough because of a liberating realization. This is a disruptive change in our lives because we can no longer pretend, internally or externally, we are provoked, by some sort of reversal, a sudden break or a necessary withdrawal leading to a transformation because some truths are revealed, some surprising information, shocking insights that came like flash lightning.

With Uranus the advice is to be open minded to change our perspectives on things. Uranus encourages us to innovate, to move away from something that holds us back or blocks our inner freedom. Uranus will show you what needs to change and give you the strength to change it. It is a process of deprogramming for the sake of deep reprogramming.

A Uranus transit is rewiring our mind, the old programming is being replaced by a new one; this is a process to show us and make us realise what has to change, and because of the shocking information and insights we received from our past, we have the strength to make the changes. Once we understand our limitations we become ready, then we are freeing ourselves from what limits us, we break away from what is not aligned with our life purpose and evolution.

Uranus in Gemini: Mental shock. Shocking news, shocking realisation, sudden break, unexpected reversal because of some revealed news.

Uranus in Gemini trine Pluto in Aquarius is about new and innovative knowledge used for the betterment of humanity. Or technological data, cold computations, emotionless communication used to control humanity. 

When Uranus is retrograding, it is more felt so we can feel our nervous system more activated than usual; like an underlying restlessness, some flashlightning realisations and an impulse to rebel. However, if you resist change which is necessary, if you stubbornly want to stay stuck in stagnation then Uranus can cause destruction for renewal to happen, to unlock the new reality, to change a stagnation that went on for too long; whatever this means for you, it’s an invitation to release it and to embrace what’s new in front of you that is slowly taking shape. Some innovations need to be reassessed and checked for their viability.

When the God of electric lightning Uranus stations retrograde, the uranian themes of destruction, liberation, shock, technology, reversals, nervous system activation and rebelliousness are intensified. Uranus can provoke a necessary break, a stepping back or an essential transformation or a rupture.

This means that something is going to break, and something unexpected is going to happen quickly, with Uranus, there is no resisting change, it’s about being flexible and adaptable because if we have been resisting change then we will be ejected from our seat but if we are willing to change this can be an exciting opportunity; a propulsion towards a new invention to contribute in a progressive society.
