Double Trouble—Uranus & Venus Retrograding Together!

[arikara]

As if we haven’t got enough going on with Venus retrograding on the 25th July, the following day Uranus, the “great awakener” also retrogrades.

No one will escape the effects of this retrograde, although Aries will be most strongly affected closely followed by Cancer, Libra and Capricorn.

Uranus only retrogrades once a year, however, when it goes into retrograde on July 25th it will be in this phase for approximately five months.

When earth passes another planet it gives the illusion that the planet slows down, stops and then goes into reverse. Although the planets do not actually spin backwards, they appear as if they do so. Friction is caused as one planet passes by the other and it is this that affects us here on Earth.

As the planets energy is internalised, we also turn everything inwards and this has a powerful impact on what is currently happening in our personal lives.

Uranus, the gigantic ice planet is the ruler of rebellion, freedom, change and revolutions.

Unlike some other planets Uranus is not a gentle retrograde, it is an abrupt and forceful one and it does not give up until we come face to face with areas of our life that desperately require change (even if we are not ready to admit that change is necessary).

3. There will be a blue moon tomorrow night--Friday, July 31st.

It is the Thunder moon. I'll bet my cats/dogs will be acting crazier than usual.

I found this very interesting posting on Elephant Journal: http://www.elephantjournal.com/2015/07/unprecedented-blue-moon-in-aquarius-now-or-never/

5. July 31

that was my youngest brother's birthday, he was killed in a car crash in 1978. The last time I spoke with him was when I had a near death experience during surgery 5 years after he died. I think I'll go outside and spend some time under the blue moon with him.

6. "Uranus only retrogrades once a year"

Which is why Mom always told me to make sure I had clean underwear.

7. one has to give it up to uranus jokes. :)

they are cathartic, like fiber for the soul of humor. it helps us relax and release, and hopefully in an appropriate place where people won't mind the mess.
