Uranus Retrograde Means No Backing Down - Horoscopes for September 17-23

This week is ripe with opportunity, sweet astros. Not only is the equinox here to balance out our days, nights, and lives, but Uranus is in retrograde and that means finding change in places you’d never expect to find them. With Mars moving forward, now is the time for that balance and peace everyone is always talking about. This week means standing up for ourselves and not taking no for an answer. It means opening up our little baby bird wings and finding out things about ourselves that might even change our lives.

It’s time to think like Danielle Brooks’ character Taystee. Even if you’re not standing up for controversial social issues that doesn’t mean you can’t channel your inner Taystee, girl! Even if it’s something small, it’s your birthday week Libras and that means no backing down.
