Uranus Direct: Let Your Freak Flag Fly

Feel like dancing to the beat of your own drummer? When Uranus goes direct on December 12, it’s time to let all your freaky skeletons out of the closet and show the world exactly who you are. Uranus has been traveling through Aries for the last couple of years, awakening the desire to express our individuality and uniqueness. Retrograde since June 2012, Uranus has given everyone a chance to gain clarity and reflect on what we need to be ourselves.

As Uranus starts to move forward, we will see events in the outer world begin to match up with our inner vision of uniqueness. Uranus thrives in environments of freedom, honesty, open mindedness and creativity. When these qualities are repressed, Uranus acts like a lightning bolt, shattering illusions and eliminating anything that is standing in the way of clarity.

Fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) enjoy Uranus’ boldness and courage. Accepting the challenge of change, they will move forward to create the future with flair and style.

Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) welcome the fast pace and exciting possibilities that Uranus presents. Inspiration, ingenuity and connection are all awaiting these three Sun signs as they brainstorm a new vision.

Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) may resist Uranus’s charms, preferring to stick with what they know. This can create conflict if they’re too inflexible. Better that Earth signs bend with the winds of change rather than fight.

Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) can feel overwhelmed and a bit fearful of the Uranus’s energy. Hiding out won’t make it all go away, so if watery folks can balance their desire for self-protection with a healthy dose of “can do” attitude, they’ll benefit the most.
