The Sky Now - An Astrology Blog (January 18)

Uranus goes direct in Taurus today. This is going to shake things up.  Uranus is electric. Uranian energies inspire nonconformity (hence its rulership of Aquarius). They inspire creativity and innovation. They stir whatever rebelliousness lives in our being. They can inspire revolution. Uranus is an agent of change through sudden events, for better or worse. This planetary shift after a five month retrograde will have a significant effect on the cosmic energy mix, both on the individual level
and in the collective sense. It can inspire us to make real change in our own life. On regional and national levels it can empower people to push back against authority.  It can cause them to hold
leaders and governments accountable for errors and failings. On the global level it could spark conflict where there is existing tension.  The Sun moves into Aquarius on Wednesday January 19 at 9:39 PM EDT.  Thunderbirds are go.
