Nothing can send shivers down your spine faster than the thought of a retrograde! However, not every retrograde is bound to be a negative experience. In fact, it can sometimes pave the way for beautiful revelations that change the way you see yourself. Uranus retrograde 2023 will affect each zodiac sign starting August 28—at 10:39 p.m. ET, to be exact. It will launch a period of personal reflection and internal growth and it might even inspire you to make some major life changes.
