Uranus out of retrograde on February 3rd is your wake-up call. Changes that once lay about like sleeping dogs are now up and barking. You can no longer put off decisions that need to be made any more than you can ignore developments pulling you in a new and undisclosed direction. Since much of what will be playing out over the next few weeks will be foregone conclusions (nothing will surprise you) it’s best to be proactive. This way it looks as if you planned on these things happening all along. You’ll be out ahead of events rather than racing to catch up to them.

Try to be more receptive to what’s going on. There’s a flood of new ideas, fresh opportunities, and intriguing perspectives spilling into your life right now and you’re the one who stands to benefit the most if you’re smart. Indeed mindful listening would be a good thing to practice on a daily basis. Instead of insisting you have all the answers; ask, instead, what someone can teach you, what you need to grow, and what would be the best way to pursue your dreams at this juncture. You may be surprised to see how productive simple adjustments and tweaks to the formula can be.

You may want to place sticky notes as reminders around the house, leave voice memos to yourself, or come up with your own version of Ariadne’s thread while Ruling Planet Mercury is in Pisces. Mercury is in both detriment and fall in the zodiac sign of the fish which means that you may feel at times like Ingrid Bergman in search of her heirloom brooch in the movie Gaslight. So are you being deliberately mislead or is this all a trick of the mind? It’s hard to tell, but that won’t always be the case – especially when the mental fog lifts on March 9th.

Uranus coming out of retrograde on February 3rd resuscitates matters that had been put on the backburner. You’ve no choice but to address them. Yet what’s nice about the timing is that it’s given you and the other party a cooling off period so you can reflect on what you each want. Things were quite tense when Uranus reversed direction last September and now it feels like you can have the discussion that would have been impossible back then. Chances are you’ll pick up right where you left off – arguing – but given a few days you’ll see the conversation become more conciliatory and supportive.

You’ll want to keep your contingency plans close, but your exit strategy closer. A situation has reached a critical juncture which is why you must pay close attention to what’s going down. There are things to gain and things to lose and being born under the zodiac sign of the balance you’ll want to weigh those carefully. There is such a thing as the circumstances looking right but the timing being off – which means you may want to retreat and try another day. Then again, threatening to back away could fake out the other party and give you a clear opening to what you seek.

You’ll have to break ties with one party if you want to pursue a better situation with another. It happens all the time in business, but as a Virgo you can’t help feeling bad. Nevertheless you’ve studied the pros and cons and just don’t see how you can afford to pass up this opportunity. That said, be prepared to pay for it in some way. Maybe there’s a penalty fee or you’ll have to work for both sides temporarily to ensure a smooth transition. The Mercury part of you resents being made to jump through hoops but your conscience will sleep much better at night.

Uranus comes out of retrograde on February 3rd. For most people this might sound like a good reason to dive into the nearest foxhole, but you’ve grown accustomed to the planet of revolution and change hanging out in your solar midheaven. Admittedly you’ll never be a big fan of surprise upsets, but at the same time there’s something to be said for the unexpected turnabouts that wind up working out in your favor and it’s this last part you’ll want to pay attention to. You may think you’ve seen it all, but nothing compares to the Hollywood ending that you’ll experience in late April.

There’s never just one cure-all. Not with you. The way out of a tight fix usually involves a series of short-term solutions stitched together to help you get from here to there. You hate having to borrow from Paul to pay Peter or coax a situation on its last legs to keep going just a little longer yet this is also when you are the most creative and resourceful. You may yearn for security, but you also know there’s nothing more deadening than the formulaic. The trick is to find the midpoint between consistency and cacophony; something you’ll be discovering in the weeks to come.

Thank heavens you were born under a zodiac sign famous for thinking on its feet. If anyone can improvise on the spot or make things up as they go along – it’s you. Mercury/Uranus squares (like the one on February 5th) are famous for pulling the rug out from under our most reasonable expectations. What seemed doable at the beginning of the day may prove impossible by the end of it. Thankfully the aspect is followed by Mercury entering Pisces on Friday. This shows you coming up with a hastily cobbled together solution – one that may be better than what you originally started out with.

You thought you had more time to prevail upon a skeptic to see things from your point of view, but Uranus out of retrograde on February 3rd says that time’s up. Developments that were on hold are back in motion now that the planet of unpredictability is on the move. In fact what’s taking place now may have rendered some differences moot. Ironically this puts you and that naysayer on the same page as you must both scramble to salvage a situation that’s teetering on the brink. Perhaps the greatest twist of all is how Uranus actually brings the cooperation you were seeking all along.

You need to do more than just shake on the deal; you need to get it all in writing. And it doesn’t matter how much you like the person you’re doing business with, how in sync you are, or even the way you finish each other’s sentences – Venus will still be squaring Uranus in your solar house of finances on February 8th. That could result in a surprise about-face or no-show right when you’re ready to finalize matters. Venus/Uranus squares are famous for broken promises which is why you want to make sure that you’ve got everything in writing beforehand. Better to be safe than sorry.

Uranus turning retrograde doesn’t exactly put life on hold, but it does slow developments down significantly. And since it reversed direction last September, you’ve enjoyed a bit of a holiday. No bolts out of the blue, unexpected reversals, or rude awakenings to contend with. Now this isn’t to say that you’ve been absolutely immune. Uranus is still the planet of revolution and change, however its backwards motion allowed for a heads up beforehand so that many of the things that would have taken you by surprise – didn’t. You could see the about-face coming from miles away and you had plenty of time to prepare for it. Needless to say, all of this changes when Uranus comes out of retrograde on February 3rd. This is when life goes back into fast motion. Things that were on the back-burner will be front and center again which is good news for those of you who have been waiting on stalled plans; not so good news if you’ve grown complacent or adopted the Ostrich Policy about certain unappealing situations.
