The Do's and Don'ts of Uranus Retrograde
What does Uranus Retrograde even mean?
Uranus is one of the outer planets, along with Neptune and Pluto, meaning its retrograde affects all of us, but those effects can be generational, as outer planets take a much longer time to move between signs.
When any planet goes retrograde, it appears to move backward in the sky. Keep in mind that Uranus spends roughly 40 percent of the year retrograde, though — 150 days, to be exact. Unlike Mercury retrograde, which typically lasts three to four weeks, three to four times a year, Uranus' effects don't feel as potent and immediate. It might help to think of Mercury retrograde as a short-term fiery fling that might cause some heartache but teaches you how to be patient. Uranus retrograde, on the other hand, is a long-term relationship that can be tough at times but ultimately brings out the best in you.
When Uranus goes retrograde, we are forced to question our independence and ask what it truly means for us to be free.
