How Uranus Retrograde 2024 Will Affect Each Zodiac Sign

Get ready: You’re about to realize what you’ve been avoiding. The planet Uranus, known to astrologers as “The Great Awakener,” is turning retrograde—giving us the wake-up call we need to really set our life straight. Read on to discover how Uranus retrograde 2024 will affect your zodiac sign.

Uranus—pronounced yur-rahn-us—is the planet of rebellion, spontaneity, electricity, and change. It’s the lightning bolt behind innovation and inspiration. In general, Uranus likes to go against the grain—questioning what we might consider “normal” in our current society. While it can act out in its direct position, when retrograde, it tends to be a little more even-tempered. So when Uranus turns retrograde on September 1 at 11:18 a.m. EST, it can easily provide a clear path ahead when we’re stuck in the mud. Suddenly, something is activated in us, inspiration strikes, and we finally have clarity on what we’re supposed to do. 

Uranus will be traveling retrograde in Taurus, the sign of money, nature, values, material possessions, and the physical. On a collective level, we’ll all be a little more conscious of our current value, money, and nature landscape (think: Election Day and climate change)—and of course, what needs to change. On a more personal level, this transit will activate some deep-rooted part of us that has strayed away from change in the past. Ultimately though, we’ll realize that the change in question is, in fact, part of our destiny. 

There are a few Uranus dates to remember from now until the end of the year. The first occurs on September 7, when Uranus makes a square to Mercury—challenging our previous thinking with new ideologies and seemingly “crazy” thoughts. October 14 will bring about a Venus-Uranus opposition, which can activate a sudden need to change up our relationship schematics. On November 16, the sun will make an opposition to Uranus as well, which could supercharge the ego toward change and innovation—with giant leaps forward toward a “new you.” Finally, on December 28, Venus will make a square to Uranus, which will test existing relationships or challenge our money-minds. It begs the question, “Is this routine working? The new year is coming up—do I want to change this?”
