Uranus, known as the planet of the unexpected, governs freedom, rebellion, technology, changeability, and aviation. It spends about five months in retrograde each year, causing pent-up energies and a heightened awareness of the need for change in the areas of the chart it transits. However, when Uranus turns direct on January 27, 2024, those energies are unleashed either intentionally or seemingly thrust upon us, whether we are ready or not.
Events involving Uranus often appear shocking, but they usually stem from situations that are no longer functioning effectively. Uranus illuminates the truth about what is happening in our lives, for better or worse. While in retrograde, Uranus may appear dormant, and things may slow down. But as it turns direct, we can experience brilliant ideas, epiphanies, or unexpected and radical transformations.
Zodiac signs whose lives will improve dramatically this year when Uranus turns direct on January 27, 2024
1. Aquarius / Aquarius rising
As Saturn and Uranus rule Aquarius, when one of your planetary rulers is in retrograde, you may encounter delays and frustrations beyond the usual. The retrograde period of any planet is generally a challenging time, so its direct motion can only be a positive development.
For those with an Aquarius zodiac sign, Uranus squares the Sun from the fourth house, which indicates unexpected changes in your home or foundational aspects of your life. These changes can hit you like a bolt of lightning out of the blue. Uranus square Sun is associated with breakups, job changes, and alterations in the home environment.
Although it may be tough, if this is the case for you, consider that the universe is signaling the need for something new and better. Once Uranus has crossed your Sun, the drama should subside.
2. Taurus / Taurus rising
Uranus is transiting your first house, which represents your sense of self. It brings about significant personal changes and a fresh approach to life. Innovation and new perspectives become crucial with Uranus in the first house. Therefore, its direct motion allows you to reconnect with your creativity and unleash your personal magic once again.
While things may initially startle you, you will soon find your exciting rhythm and make things happen.
3. Cancer / Cancer rising
Uranus sextiles Cancer’s Sun from the eleventh house, which governs friends, groups, hopes, and wishes. During Uranus retrograde, you may have felt uncertain about who your true friends really were. However, when the planet turns direct, you will gain clarity and discern between friends and frenemies.
If your social network feels dull or nonexistent, this will change too. Since the eleventh house is associated with groups and organizations, you may find yourself aligning with new social circles. This is also an excellent time to pursue a job change if you desire it.
4. Virgo / Virgo rising
Uranus has been retrograde in your ninth house, which influences travel, education, publishing, spirituality, and your general perspective on the world. Uranus also trines your Sun, presenting new and often unexpected opportunities. If you have been harboring grand aspirations, now is the time to transform your dreams into tangible reality.
If your education has been on hold, it may pick up pace. Remember, education doesn’t have to be formal; self-learning can be just as significant. You may also feel a stronger desire to travel, and thanks to Uranus ruling the internet, establishing connections with people in faraway places is just a click away.
5. Capricorn / Capricorn rising
Transiting Uranus is in your fifth house, which governs friends, love, and children. Uranus’s direct motion can only enhance your love life, especially if you are single. You may meet someone new during this transit, or perhaps you already have! If you are in a relationship, expect things to heat up quickly.
If you have experienced issues with friends or have been unable to spend time with them, this will change. If you are a parent, any difficulties with your child should improve, or you may find yourself contemplating having children.
Lastly, the fifth house represents creativity, so brace yourself for creative ideas that come out of the blue. If this happens, make the most of this time and turn your ideas into reality.
