Uranus’ Transits: Opportunities to Innovate and Break Free from Stagnation
Uranus is the modern ruler of Aquarius and is associated with the impulse to innovate, revolutionize our lives, and liberate ourselves from stagnation, restriction, and inauthenticity. Discovered around the time of the Industrial Revolution, Uranus is connected to all those inventions that fuel collective progress and drastically change the way we live. Strongly future-oriented, Uranus propels us forward at the speed of light: his transits show us where we are asked to step into the unknown and break free from what is holding us back.
Uranus connects us with a higher vision, inspires us to be experimental, and motivates us to seek radically new solutions. This planet shakes us out of complacency and forces us to make changes. Uranus teaches us that, often, what we experience as disruptions and sudden breakdowns are an opportunity to liberate ourselves from old ways of being, thinking, and living, and open doors to creating a new reality.
Uranus in Gemini: New Ways to Communicate and Connect
Uranus needs 84 years to complete his journey through the Zodiac wheel: the last time he was in Gemini was from 1941 to 1949. During this time, Uranus in Gemini radically shifted how information was transmitted. The mid-1940s saw the beginnings of commercial television: news traveled faster, propaganda became more sophisticated, and mass media began to shape public opinion like never before. Moreover, after the war, a surge in the exchanges of ideas and new community dynamics began to transform how people connected and communicated.
Uranus has been in Gemini since July 7, 2025. We are experiencing the very beginning of this transit, a journey that will unfold until 2033. Uranus in Gemini is already facilitating significant shifts in how we think, communicate, share information, learn, and connect. This transit will bring a wave of revolutionary ideas, inspiring new innovations and faster communications while asking us to question what we think we know and inviting us to stay open to unfamiliar perspectives and perceptions.
Together with Pluto in Aquarius, Uranus in Gemini will accelerate the pace of scientific and technological progress, particularly within the sectors of AI, space travel, and quantum computers. During the upcoming years, we can expect the internet, social media, and our relationship with these tools to evolve and transform. New social media platforms and inventions that allow us to communicate and connect in new ways are likely to be created. Simultaneously, many people will feel the need to step back from their online lives, spend less time in front of screens, and orient their lives according to different values.
Uranus retrograde in Gemini: Rewriting the Narrative
All retrogrades are an invitation to go inward, pause, and reflect on where we are going before continuing to move forward: they are an opportunity to deepen our introspection and ask ourselves more questions rather than continuing to follow the inertia. When Uranus is retrograde, we have an opportunity to observe the changes that have been unfolding while Uranus was direct and reconsider what direction we are moving toward. This is an invitation to pay attention to the visions, impulses, and ideas that began to arise during the first weeks of Uranus’ transit through Gemini and notice the themes that are starting to emerge.
In Gemini, Uranus’ shift of motion challenges us to revolutionize our thinking habits and question our assumptions and the stories we tell ourselves. This is a time to discover new ways of interacting with our environment and see our reality from a new perspective. We are entering a period of recalibration and reorientation surrounding how we relate to technology, innovation, AI, social media, and the internet. We have an opportunity to explore different sources of information, new approaches to communication, and new ways of learning.
Uranus between Gemini and Taurus: Redefining Stability and Renovating our Values
Uranus will temporarily return to Taurus from November 7 to April 25: we are about to experience the final stretch of this transit, a journey that began in 2018. In Taurus, Uranus retrograde asks us to question the values we are orienting toward, restructure the very foundations of our lives, and explore alternative ways of meeting our survival needs, making an income, and creating stability.
Uranus retrograde in Taurus is an opportunity to reflect on how our lives, values, needs, and desires have changed since Uranus entered the sign. It is an invitation to question existing definitions of wealth, abundance, and security and make sure we are living in alignment with our true values, rather than according to our programming.
In Taurus, Uranus has been pushing us to redefine stability and learn to feel secure within uncertainty and unpredictability. The final months of this transit offer us an opportunity to make changes that can no longer be postponed and pursue a different kind of security while making sure we are leveraging our talents and skills and honoring what makes us unique.
