What is Uranus direct in astrology?
Astrology has a phenomena called retrograde, and this occurs when a planet or body appears to be moving backward through the zodiac. Uranus retrogrades every year for about 5 months at a time.
The normal motion for the planets is forward, so their energy can get thrown off, operate in reverse, or be extra challenging while they are retrograde.
Direct means they are no longer appearing to move backward, and are readying to move in forward motion again. They will start to move in their normal way, and feel more like themselves, and have the usual impact on us all.
Uranus is the planet of change, and rules the unconventional, inventive, innovative, and eccentric. Uranus is independent and focuses on the future.
As transit, or moving, Uranus tours a zodiac sign, it brings changes for all of us with whatever that sign rules. It spends about 7 – 8 years in each sign, and has been in Taurus since 2018.
This shook up stability and security, challenging us to not become complacent. Uranus in Taurus has been a time to develop confidence in new ways, and to increase abundance unconventionally.
While Uranus was retrograde, the major changes slowed down, but we’re now embarking on a massive paradigm shift with Saturn and Neptune shoving off into Aries, and soon Uranus into Gemini.
This time with Uranus at the end of Taurus is a last-chance, last-ditch effort kind of period. With Uranus direct, we have a clear shot straight to Uranus entering Gemini, and this clears the way for anything we have left to do.
If there are any remaining changes left to make, now is the time to do it. There likely won’t be much opportunity left soon to get it going as our focuses shift in a different direction.
About Uranus Direct in Taurus
Taurus is an Earth sign, as well as a Fixed sign, so Taurus is the most grounded of the zodiac signs. It tends to be practical, and stays the course.
The natural ruling planet for Taurus is sensual Venus, and Taurus connects with the earthy side of Venus. Taurus is connected to the moment, not in any kind of rush, and attracts what it wants.
Taurus connects with the second house, the house of money, resources, and values. This house shows financial approaches, resourcefulness, and what we feel is worthy of our time and effort.
Uranus, being the planet of change, sees these changes slow down when retrograde. When Uranus turns direct, it can become clearer what it needs and wants to be changed.
This Uranus direct is square, which is a challenging aspect, Mercury in Aquarius. There can be some challenges with communication, seeing eye-to-eye, and being understood as we work on these last-minute changes.
We also need to work on making sure we have all of the information we need. Working quickly doesn’t mean completely avoiding some research, and that can be important, otherwise it may not go through.
There is an Aquarius Lunar Eclipse two weeks after this Uranus direct, and it’s square Uranus too. So, this can be a big period for quick change, and especially changes that get us unstuck from something that we’ve been trapped in for some time.
Uranus direct is also sextile, which is a beneficial aspect, Saturn in Pisces. Saturn is also at the end of Pisces and moves into Aries about ten days later, so there is a lot of last-minute energy.
Saturn demands we go about this the right way and for the right reasons though. We can’t rush without having done the homework required first.
Thankfully, sextiles are positive aspects, so Saturn and Uranus are working together, and we have an easier time being practical about changes we’re working on, and finding an unconventional route to success.
4 Ways to Use Uranus Direct in Taurus
1. Pick a change you’ve already researched.
Since energy for change will be very strong, it might be tempting to rush into something you’ve only just thought of, but that may not work very well. Instead, try focusing on a change you’ve already dug into.
Armed with the information you need, you can quickly whip up a plan and put it to action. This allows you to work fast and get it done.
2. Keep grounded through the changing energy.
Taurus is a grounded sign, yet all of the energy now is all over the place. Ground yourself, perhaps in new or different ways, and this can help keep you in control.
You can focus on finding small ways to be more centered, and that can help you in ways you don’t even realize.
3. Restore confidence in your abilities.
If confidence has been shaky, this can be a good time to get to the root of why and work on restoring it. Unconventional methods can be the right answer, and you can feel renewed in your pursuits.
4. Adhere to values or find new ones.
Taurus rules our values, so this is a time to either adhere to them or ditch them for new ones. It’s okay to change your values to what aligns with you now, and this can make you more comfortable.
