Uranus & Mercury Retrograde July 2012 – Searching for the higher truth to set our minds free.

Uranus, the planet of rebellion, of disruption, independent spirit and thought turns retrograde on 13th July for it’s annual 155 day retrograde period.

This summer in the UK has been dominated by two themes so far; a complete and total washout weather wise and news of complacent bankers illegally setting interest rates.

The final building block of the jigsaw puzzle to why the Universe evolved as it did, is now almost certainly in place. Here on Solaris Astrology, I have been following the progress of their work from an astrological perspective and the announcement today confirms everything that I have been looking at too. The clues that this quest was going to be successful were written in the stars.
