Feeling Impatient Lately? Blame Uranus Turning Retrograde, Here’s Why
Weekly Horoscopes August 22nd - 28th, 2022. Brought to you by our friend Kelli Fox at Astrology.TV
It’s an industrious start to the working week, with the Sun moving into earthy, diligent Virgo on Monday. The early part of the week is ideal for taking practical action - doing rather than thinking.
On Wednesday, Uranus turns retrograde, beginning a period of inner restlessness and great impatience for many. Mercury’s arrival in diplomatic, easy-going Libra the following day will do much to help calm nerves, however.
Saturday’s Virgo New Moon is a highly responsible, dutiful influence, but this lunation does square Mars, so don’t be surprised if you feel a little resentful about having to do the right thing.
