Uranus retrogrades for five months of every year, so its reversals are less shocks than tides. From here it seems to back a few degrees through Gemini and then resume; nothing in the sky reverses, the Earth is passing it. Astrologers read the interval as the time when the year’s disruptions are absorbed rather than delivered. The changes already set in motion are lived with. The appetite for the next one quiets. Insight comes from inside rather than from events, the way the eye adjusts after the flash. The bolt has struck; this is the season of walking the field afterward to see what it lit and what it left standing. The retrograde ends when Uranus stands still and turns on February 8; it clears its shadow on May 26.
