The planet Uranus stands for renewal, change and sudden decisions. He is the revolutionary among the planets.
The planet Uranus was named after the Greek god Uranos, who is said to have been the prince of the gods long before Zeus. Only under very favorable conditions it is visible from Earth with the naked eye as a small star. It was discovered only shortly before the French Revolution in 1781 and is a gas planet consisting of hydrogen, ammonia and methane. It is the only planet rotating in the opposite direction. With 80 years this planet needs almost a whole human life to circle the sun once. This explains why it was kept as a fixed star for a long time and discovered only late.

Meaning Retrograde Uranus
Under the influence of retrograde Uranus impatience and irritability increase. More and more decisions are made that no one wants to talk about afterwards. It is advisable to think about what should be done beforehand. Rash actions are regretted. Even if they are labeled as stupid, responsibility for them must still be accepted. In particular, spontaneous decisions are to be discouraged. Mostly selfishness provokes conflicts in our immediate environment and it will take some time to pick up the pieces.
