Uranus retrograde doesn’t exactly put life on pause, but it does slow developments down significantly. And since it reversed direction last August, you’ve enjoyed a bit of a holiday. No bolts out of the blue, unexpected reversals, or rude awakenings. Now this isn’t to say you’ve been absolutely immune. Uranus is still the planet of revolution and change. However, its backwards motion allowed for a heads up beforehand so that many of the things that would have taken you by surprise – didn’t. You could see the about-face from miles away and you had plenty of time to prepare for it. Needless to say, all of this changes when Uranus comes out of retrograde on January 18th. This is when life goes back into fast motion. Things that were on the backburner will be front and center again which is good news for those of you who have been waiting on stalled plans; not so good news if you’ve grown complacent or adopted the Ostrich Policy about certain unappealing situations.
