Uranus Retrograde Begins (ends Feb 8, 2027)
Please refer to the Moon Magic course and The Moon and the Zodiac course on this blog for additional details. With the knowledge of those courses within us – here’s how today’s energies align… May you find a way to work with today’s energies to help you get closer to your goal, achieve what you desire, protect yourself or rid things that no longer align with you.
Uranus Retrograde Begins – Uranus is the planet of innovation, liberation, and sudden change. Because it spends roughly five months of every year in retrograde, its backward cycle isn’t a rare crisis like Mercury retrograde—it is a routine period of internal processing.
What It Means – When direct, Uranus acts like a sudden spark, driving outward rebellion and rapid life shifts. When it stations retrograde, that rebellious energy turns inward:
Internal Awakening: Instead of external plot twists, you experience mental breakthroughs and shifts in perspective.
Integration over Action: It offers a pause to digest recent disruptions or major decisions made earlier in the year.
Revisiting Freedom: It asks where you are compromising your true identity to maintain comfort or keep up appearances.
How It Affects People & What to Notice
Desire for Authenticity: Outdated goals or interests may lose their charm, prompting a quiet purge of commitments that no longer align with who you are today.
A Feeling of Restlessness: You may notice a subtle “pressure-cooker” sensation or an itch to break out of routine, particularly in areas where you feel stuck or over-restricted.
“Aha!” Moments: Expect sudden, quiet realizations about long-standing problems. You might suddenly see an old habit or relationship dynamic in a completely different light.
Shifting Dynamics: You may crave more personal space in relationships or feel inspired to set boundaries around your time and energy.
Day – Thursday lends energies to efforts involving socializing, traveling, gambling, religious pursuits, foreign interests, luck, achievements, and self improvement.
Zodiac – The moon in Virgo lends energies to efforts around employment, intellectual matters, health and dietary concerns.
Moon – The moon is New (Dark) at 11:27pm Eastern Time today. New Moon Energy signifies new beginnings, fresh starts and planting seeds for the future, acting as a powerful time for setting intentions, cleansing and initiating new projects. The New/Dark moon is a fantastic time to do scrying, ancestor/spirit work and divination as the veil between this world and the next has thinned out. Get your pendulum, your tarot, oracle or runes, grab the black scrying mirror or crystal ball. (I would personally recommend against owning let alone using a ouija board but you do you, boo boo.)
So today – Combining the new moon with Thursday, Virgo AND the Uranus Retrograde – focus on setting intentions around self improvement. Celebrate the achievements that have gotten you this far. Plant the seeds that will guide how you will grow forward from here.
Whatever you choose to do today, be clear with your intention and mindful with your words. Happy Manifesting!
