Uranus will be retrograde beginning August 18 and it will go direct January 18, 2022. With this six month transit, we will all feel the urge to break free or rebel. Luckily, the Uranus transit will begin with Mars in trine with Uranus on August 22, adding some productive flow and opportunities to break from our boring routines. This could be a time to begin an exciting project that you have considered for some time.
