It’s time to do some serious reflection and dig up your old journals because whatever was a huge theme in your life in 2018 will return with a vengeance from this weekend onwards as Uranus Retrograde has one mission: to conclude a seven-year cosmic cycle.
In astrology, Uranus cops a bad rap for bringing chaos, but really, it’s the planet of brutal but necessary shake-ups that set us free.
As it moves through the zodiac, it pushes us to ditch stale routines and spark major breakthroughs and full-blown revolutions that’ll help us ditch the excess baggage and level-up our lives.
Read on for everything you need to know…
What are the Uranus Retrograde dates?
It runs from November 8, 2025 to April 26, 2026.
What will happen?
From this weekend on, Uranus Retrograde will make its dramatic return to Taurus, and it’s here to rattle anything we thought was rock solid. For the Fixed Signs — Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius — this cosmic shake-up might hit especially hard, particularly if you’ve been clinging to old ways of doing things.
Dubbed the planet of rebellion, Uranus isn’t just sliding back into Taurus — it’s setting off sirens, forcing us to face the stuff we’ve been avoiding around money, values, security and self-worth.
If life suddenly feels like it’s on pause or if an unexpected plot twist has left you questioning your stability, you can thank Uranus for that. It’s the planet that loves to push us out of our comfort zones and into breakthroughs — even if it feels like chaos in the moment.
As Uranus re-enters Taurus (where it first rocked up back in 2018), we’re being asked to revisit the themes that have shaped the last seven years — both globally and personally. Think back to what kicked off in your life around that time. Was it a career shake-up? A relationship shift? A major identity overhaul?
This retrograde might make your version of normal feel completely upside down. Financial systems, relationships, even your physical body could be sending you signs that it’s time for change. A job that once felt secure might start wobbling, or a relationship dynamic could flip on its head.
But here’s the thing — Uranus isn’t here to destroy for the sake of it. It’s inviting us to redefine what stability actually means and find freedom in building something new.
What should I do?
This marks the final chapter in a seven-year glow-up around what security really means to you. It’s your cosmic cue to take stock of your relationship with money, stability and the things (and people) you’ve been loyal to.
Ask yourself: what have you outgrown, and what still feels genuinely valuable? Uranus Retrograde is pushing you to ditch the old definitions of “safety” and start building a new version that actually fits who you are now.
The moves you make during this transit — whether it’s setting new financial goals, cutting ties with what drains you, or backing yourself in a fresh direction — are laying the foundation for your next era. So don’t cling to the past; get curious about what freedom and security really look like for you now.
Here’s a simple ritual to help you align with the energy and close out this seven-year cycle…
Uranus Retrograde Ritual
To align with Uranus Retrograde in Taurus, light a candle and take a few deep breaths to ground yourself. Reflect on what security has meant to you over the past seven years — the habits, people or beliefs that once felt safe but now feel restrictive — and release them by tearing or safely burning your list.
Then, write down what true stability looks like for you now, whether it’s financial independence, emotional peace or freedom from old attachments.
Hold a coin or crystal as you say, “I build my security from within. I trust change to bring me closer to freedom”, and place it in salt or soil to anchor your intention. Finish by blowing out your candle and sitting in gratitude for your evolution.
It’s also worth mentioning that Mercury Retrograde kicks off this weekend as well, so peep our survival guide.
