Uranus Retrograde and the Empress

Radical change through feminine power

Uranus, the planet of rebellion and upheaval, is currently retrograde. This period often turns the lightning-strike energy of Uranus inward, sparking questions about where we’ve been conforming, and where it’s time to break free. Pair this with The Empress in tarot — a card of creation, nurture, and unapologetic feminine presence — and we find a message of liberation rooted in the power of the feminine.

Uranus Retrograde: Inner Revolution

When Uranus is direct, it shakes up external systems — politics, technology, society. In retrograde, it stirs our inner systems. It asks: Where am I still following rules that were never

written for me? Where am I still hiding my voice or my creativity to fit a mold?

This is radical energy, but it doesn’t have to be loud or chaotic. It can be the quiet courage to stop apologizing, the decision to trust your own rhythm, or the choice to dismantle old narratives about who you are “supposed” to be.

The Empress: Feminine Authority

The Empress is abundance, sensuality, and creation in all forms. Too often, society reads her as passive or decorative. But the Empress is power — she is authority that flows from the ability to sustain, to create, to embody beauty and wisdom without permission.

When Uranus retrograde meets the Empress, the call is clear: reclaim the authority of the feminine on your own terms. Whether that means artistic expression, financial independence, motherhood, activism, or something entirely different — it’s about refusing to shrink.

Feminist Practice for This Transit

• Redefine abundance: Ask yourself what prosperity and fulfillment look like for you, not by society’s yardstick.

• Take up space: Wear the outfit, speak the truth, create the art. Practice being unapologetic.

• Challenge old rules: Notice where expectations about gender, family, or career still whisper in your ear. Choose which ones to break.

✨ Uranus retrograde with the Empress is the revolution of nurture, creativity, and feminine power. Change doesn’t always look like fire and chaos. Sometimes, it looks like planting a garden no one thought you could grow — and watching it thrive.
