It is useful to know if Uranus is retrograde or direct in your personal horoscope. This helps you understand how this period will affect you.

Uranus is the planet in your horoscope that symbolizes how comfortable you are with change and unpredictability. When its retrograde, these tendencies may increase because it is not obvious that shifts are occurring so they seem to come out of nowhere.

Since Uranus is presently in Aries, there may be a volcanic flavor to the disruptions and outbursts. This doesn’t have to be violent or upsetting, but it all depends on other factors at play. It’s retrograde until December 14. Oftentimes it’s the day when it first “stations” that we see it at work in the greater world. This may be a memorable Friday the 13th.

Since Uranus is said to be the higher octave of Mercury, and that little planet goes retrograde tomorrow, please back up your hard drive and really double-check any electronic processes. Attend to your car or computer before this time if either needs something done. Practice energy
conservation; it is summer and these two planets doing a back step in such close sequence may indicate some communication/grid concerns.

Aside from that, the Taurus moon sets a tone for tranquility, in spite of whatever may be churning under the surface. Good results can come from enterprises that are in motion today, even though you might expect some surprises. If you can start your weekend early, enjoy gardening or better yet, a hammock.

The moon is VOC* from 3:46 p.m. ET until tomorrow morning. *Moon VOC/Void-of-Course… in Taurus, relaxation is demanded. You can try to accomplish a big task, but that couch looks awfully inviting. Give in and let yourself enjoy a leisurely lunch and your productivity will increase afterwards.
