Emporiblog - Uranus Retrograde

Hello all!! Today's post is about the Uranus Retrograde!

As of today, Uranus is in retrograde and this will continue through till next year (January 18th). Uranus is the planet of intuition, creativity and rebellion, so that means that everything changes today! Since Uranus is an outer planet, the effects of its retrograde won't overwhelm us all at once. It will also be a time of self-reflection so get ready for breakthroughs and breakdowns but you've got about 5 months of this retrograde so you can take as much time as you need! This transition to retrograde will also bring us a sense of freedom, mostly within our personal lives. Uranus is currently sitting in Taurus ♉ and has been since 2018 so most of you have been through a few of these retrogrades but for those of us who are just getting attuned to the universe, it's a whole new experience. 

What to do

The most important thing you can do during a retrograde is be prepared! Since creativity is enhanced during this time, old hobbies/passions might resurface and new ones may present themselves, but don't ignore them! Intuition will be hightened as well and we will be able to access and absorb the genius energies of Uranus more easily. 

- Relax. During this self-reflection period, don't be harsh on yourself. Set boundaries and protect your mental health if you're in a position to do so. It's ok if you're not ready straight away! Take a relaxing bath/shower to wash away stress when you can.

- Rest. It's important to not only rest your body but also your mind. Get as much sleep as you can to rest your body or take breaks where you can throughout the day. Meditation will help rest your mind for those that can. If you can't meditate, try doing activities that calm you e.g colouring/art, writing, puzzles, playing games but nothing too strenuous! 

- Write in a journal. It might be an idea to keep a Retrograde journal to keep track of how you feel during this time to help you better understand what's happening. If you already have a journal, you can compare this retrograde to the previous ones and see how/if it's changed from last time.

- Stay grounded. It'll be important during this time to keep your energies as balanced as you can to protect your emotional and mental health. Being grounded will help you rid yourself of stress and help you think clearly.
