You've got a couple of stinkers hitting your chart at the same time ~ Neptune is working through Aquarius and is hovering over your Mercury. Not the greatest aspect for decision making and your frame of mind in general. Uranus is currently in Pisces, and is hitting your Sun. This is not a lot of fun. It's a shake-up, unsettling and explains a whole lot. But it will pass.
Some more on this from CafeAstrology:

Uranus transits conjunct Sun This is a time of "finding yourself", when you begin to feel uncomfortable with your current life path and behavior patterns. Your ego is awakened, and you feel compelled to express yourself in unique and perhaps unusual or unconventional ways. With your increased openness to all that is new and different, you may encounter opportunities that appear to come out of the blue. Routine begins to bore you, and your current responsibilities may seem overwhelming. Your consciousness expands to the point where you are receptive to new ways of thinking and patterns of living. Especially if you are female, you may begin a relationship with a male, and this association leads you into undiscovered territory or some kind of break from your past. This can be an exciting period of your life that is filled with change and stimulation. You might begin or end relationships, start a new career path, or move to a new location. (More clues to the nature of the potential changes can be found in the condition of the Sun in the natal chart--its house position, aspects, and the areas of the chart that it rules). Arming yourself with the awareness that you may be over-confident and hasty in your decisions is essential for the best handling of this transit. You need to be aware of the strong possibility that you are rebelling and reacting rather than listening to your heart. Open yourself to the fact that something must change, rather than resisting or fearing it. Resistance will only attract circumstances that leave you feeling out of control.
*Freedom, independence, and individuality are the key issues for this time period. You find it extremely difficult to continue in a daily activity that is tedious, boring, or simply unexciting.
+A time of real breakthroughs, when insights into your self and your ambitions will be possible. This is a time when authority figures and older people, especially men, may figure in your life. The discovery of a teacher or vision of the future is possible.

Neptune transits conjunct Mercury Your thinking process becomes more animated, imaginative, and spirited during this transit. However, you can also find yourself mentally lazy and passive, finding it hard to concentrate on mundane matters. Details can be glossed over in favor of the bigger picture, and you can find it hard to stick to systems or schedules. Even people who are normally punctual might find it hard to be on time during this transit. If your work involves communications, advertising, publishing, or languages, you are able to breathe new life into these channels with increased intuition and imagination. Your writing and/or speech may become more poetic. You may encounter mysterious, confused, unusual, or spiritual experiences surrounding Mercury-ruled people and things (such as siblings, neighbors, travel, studies, and so forth) during this time.
What does Mercury rule in your chart? Look to the houses of your natal chart with Gemini and Virgo on the cusp for areas of your life where Neptune is acting to refine. Look to planets in Gemini and Virgo in your chart to see other parts of your personality that Neptune is now infusing with spirituality and sensitivity.
*Interest in non-technical, "right brain" subjects increases at this time. Your understanding of psychological dynamics increases. You can better grasp the reasons why people that you know act the way they do and you can better see the causes for problems in personal relationships.
+A time of inspiration and creativity, especially if you like to write or speak -- communication of all kinds. You are able to put your dreams and ideals into words. Could also be a time when you are a fuzzy thinker about practical decisions.
