Fly High, Just Don’t Fry: Uranus Retrograde

 

Today, July 29, Uranus is stationing, turning retrograde for a five-month integration period. Uranus is the Great Awakener, the enlightenment planet, known for its disruptive, sudden qualities as well as innovation and liberation. Over the past months, we have all experienced its shocks and starts, and stretches to our consciousness on the personal and transpersonal levels. Sometimes we've been pulled to the point of feeling like we can’t possibly absorb any more change. Lucky for us, Uranus is toning down his high-voltage jolts, just long enough that we can catch our breath, and catch up to ourselves.

Uranus will be retrograde from July 29 until December 29. During this time, our progress will not be thwarted, no. But it will be assimilated. We need this time. The rate of change has sped up so fast, many of us have found it hard to catch our breath. This acceleration may have been felt internally as a quickening of consciousness, an anxious buzz, or rapid influx of ideas; or externally as huge leaps and bounds in life changes, or humanitarian efforts, or actual inventions. Or perhaps it’s just plain wakefulness – literally not being able to sleep! – or enlightened self-realization. It is all fine and dandy to be waking up… but we need time to smell the coffee.

Fly High, But Don’t Fry

We’ve been moving at mock speed. Lest we fry our nervous systems, we need time to integrate. We’ve been poked, prodded and placed into our new starring roles. Now, look around. Take stock. What are these new systems, anyway? What is this new wiring, this strange new voltage running through our bodies, our lives? From now through fall, we can get a little more accustomed to flying at this new altitude.

Take in the horizon before you, absorb the surroundings and meaningful details. Understand the intricate workings of this place and from this perspective. Catch your breath, just a little. Uranus is volatile and reactive, so do cool your jets. If we stretch too far too fast, we will burn out. So fly high, just don’t fry.

We’re in beta mode with many of these new starts. Yes, mistakes will be made, we will step on toes and stub our own on occasion. Learning is occurring. This is the embodiment part of the awakening process – the fine tuning, the rewiring of consciousness. Don’t push for brand new launches. Instead, work with what you’ve already got. You're at cruising altitude for a moment.
