Uranus Direct in Taurus 2026: Momentum, Breakthroughs, Closing Cycles

Uranus in Taurus: Approaching the End of a Journey

Also referred to as the Great Awakener, Uranus’s function is to foster progress, individuation, and liberation from the comfort zones that don’t allow us to grow. Uranus needs 7 to 8 years to travel through a sign, and 84 years to complete his transit through the entire Zodiac wheel. His transits ask us to revolutionize our relationship with the sign he’s transiting as well as our understanding of what it is about.

The modern ruler of Aquarius has been traveling through Taurus since 2018. In the sign of the Bull, Uranus has been revolutionizing the very foundations of our lives, our values, our financial systems, and our definitions of stability. Since 2018, this transit has revealed outdated assumptions about security, exposing the fragility of the systems we rely on, and teaching us that true stability cannot be built on rigid structures and attachments but emerges from inner resourcefulness and resilience. 

Uranus in Taurus has been asking us to break free from scarcity mindsets, outdated ideas about self-worth and productivity, and old survival strategies rooted in fear, challenging us to create radically new foundations for our lives, material security, and self-worth.

Uranus direct: Time of Fast and Unexpected Change

As Uranus slows down to shift his direction of motion, his energy gains prominence. Stationary planets are closer to Earth and they are more powerfully felt: around this time, Uranus’s energy comes front and center. Change happens faster and unexpectedly, the pace of events accelerates, and our plans may be disrupted, forcing us to adapt and be more creative and versatile. 

With Uranus stationing direct in the late degrees of Taurus, the momentum accelerates and we are pushed to move forward. As the planet of awakening, individuation, and liberation shifts his direction of motion, the transformation that has been unfolding internally during the past months will become visible and generate tangible external changes. 

Uranus direct often coincides with breakthroughs, moments of clarity, and sudden impulses to act in order to shift something that can no longer remain the same. Moreover, planets that are about to complete their transit through a sign take on a more erratic quality: there is a sense of urgency relative to closing cycles, wrapping up unfinished business, and tying up loose ends. These days, what is outdated or built on an unstable foundation will be revealed, and what is aligned with the future we are moving toward will prove its resilience.

Uranus sextile Saturn and Neptune, trine Pluto

As Uranus stations direct in Taurus, he is forming a sextile with Saturn in Pisces, approaching a sextile with Neptune in Aries as well as a trine with Pluto in Aquarius. These alignments have been active for several weeks, and with more or less intensity throughout most of 2025 as well.

Uranus’s alignment with Saturn invites an intentional restructuring of our lives. Rather than burning bridges and destroying what no longer works, this aspect supports a steady and sustainable pace of transformation: change becomes something we intentionally participate in, rather than something that happens to us.

The Uranus-Neptune sextile helps us attune to what feels aligned on an intuitive level, beyond logic. This aspect supports our ability to tap into imagination and creative inspiration and foster new visions that have the potential to fuel collective progress and evolution in significant ways. 

The Uranus-Pluto trine supports the dismantling of outdated power structures and the emergence of new systems and models that are non-hierarchical, decentralized, and rooted in a shared purpose. Since Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius, where Pluto will be transiting until 2044, Uranus’s ingress into Gemini will notably accelerate the speed of the transformation instigated by Pluto, ushering in a technological and scientific revolution that will radically change our daily lives and the structure of our society itself.

Momentum, Breakthroughs, and Closing Cycles

We are now in the closing phase of a journey of radical restructuring of our relationship with nature, with the Earth, with security, with our bodies, and with our resources, material and non. Uranus direct in Taurus is an opportunity to break free from outdated patterns and timelines and quantum leap toward the future we are creating. This is a time to release our attachment to what prevents us from further growing and let go of comfort zones that once provided safety but have now become limiting.

Uranus’s shift of motion and final weeks in Taurus are an opportunity to focus on creating a life aligned with our true values and with how we have internally transformed during the last seven to eight years. This is a time to choose innovation over inertia, authenticity over comfort, and long-term sustainability over short-term security. The choices we make now will have a lasting impact on our lives and create a foundation for the next phase of our personal and collective evolution.
