What turning direct means

After about five months of seeming to move backwards, Uranus starts moving forward again. The changes you were thinking about start to feel possible, and life can move faster or less predictably.

A background shift

Uranus is very slow, so this is more of a change in the background than a big moment. It is felt most in the house of your chart it is moving through.

What to do now

Act on the change you have been considering, try the new way of doing things and give yourself more freedom where you have been feeling boxed in.

What to look back on

Notice what you wanted to break free from while Uranus was retrograde. Those inner shifts usually come before outer ones.
