During this time wounded people may be drawn to you. It is important to practice self-care during this transit when helping others as you may find it to be extra draining on you. This transit is also associated with great creativity and enlightenment that manifests itself in a healing and fulfilling way.
Knowing where these planets are in your birth chart can help in anticipating which areas of your life might have difficulties. Saturn retrogrades are associated with fated life lessons.
Uranus Retrograde 2017 starts on August 3, 2017 at 28° Aries and stations direct on January 2, 2018 at 24° Aries.

During this retrograde internal changes needed in attitude to make external changes desired are favoured. This transit allows for internal processing needed to make outward changes especially for things associated with more personal freedom. On a societal level there will be a move away from the far right when Uranus turns forward with more open trading and fairer dealings for the vulnerable and issues associated with a healing focus for mental illness.
Full Moon At 11°40′ Gemini Sign December 3rd
