Uranus in Gemini: 2025-2033

2025 is a year of major planetary shifts, but three of the players - Saturn, Neptune and Uranus - are visiting their new sign for a brief period of time, before starting on their retrograde motion.  It's 2026 when those planetary shifts will fully start playing out.

Still though! We're most definitely feeling the shift on the global level, and many of us on a personal level, too.

First, the Dates:

It takes Uranus 7 years to transit a sign, and it usually retrogrades into the previous sign and dips into the next sign on the way.

This is what Uranus is up to in the next 7+ years:

• July 7 - November 7, 2025:  Uranus is in Gemini
  • Uranus will cover 0-1° Gemini in 2025
• November 7, 2025 - April 25, 2026:  Uranus retrogrades into Taurus
• April 25, 2026 - August 3, 2032:  Uranus back in Gemini
• August 3 - December 12, 2032:  Uranus is in Cancer
• December 12, 2032 - May 22, 2033:  Uranus retrogrades into Gemini

What is Uranus All About?

Uranus is about change! And not just incremental change, but something that feels like a qualitative leap. It's not about making tweaks  - it's about taking things to the new level. It's about taking us into the future.

Uranus energy is electrifying and can feel erratic. It can manifest as a revolt or a rebellion. There definitely is an independent, freedom-loving flair to Uranus.  "Enough!", we say when we get fed up with things, and stage a revolution. 

It's also about the unexpected - unexpected breakthroughs, but also breakdowns. 

Uranus in Taurus:  A Quick Look Back

During its 7-year stay in Taurus, Uranus has been revolutionizing banking and currencies.  Show of hands - how many of you have invested into cryptocurrencies in the last few years?

While bitcoin is not new, it's over the time Uranus was in Taurus that it became known to an average investor.  Uranus in Taurus brought the rise of cryptocurrencies.  In 2021, El Salvador even embraced bitcoin as legal tender!

In 2024, we had a Jupiter-Uranus conjunction.  A few years back, I wrote a post predicting that 2024 was going to see a surge in the value of cryptocurrencies.  And yes, it was a great year for bitcoin. 

Here is what Google tells us:

The year 2024 marked a turning point for the cryptocurrency market, propelled by historic events such as global regulatory reforms, the Bitcoin halving, and BTC surpassing $100,000 for the first time.

Uranus has also been revolutionizing the way we earn money, leading to the rise of gig economies.  I took Uber the other day and was talking to the driver, who has a couple of gig jobs, but doesn't see the value of permanent, full-time employment.  We can all have our opinions there, but was the word "gig economy" even in your vocabulary a few years back?  It sure wasn't in mine! 

Uranus in Gemini:  Then and Now

The last time Uranus travelled through Gemini was in 1941-1945, so many of us today will have not experienced this transit.

And, let me tell you something else. Historically, Uranus in Gemini tends to bring a very eventful period for the planet. 

Gemini deals with the following areas:

• Communications
• Information and data
• Organizational systems
• Air travel
• Transportation and vehicles
• Social connections and social media
• Mobile devices
• Trade
• Freedom (including freedom of speech)

Some or all of these areas can get revolutionized - or experience shocks - in the next 7 years.

Uranus in Gemini and Innovation

Here are some examples of what transpired in the past, when Uranus was in Gemini: 

The first telephone devices were invented during the Uranus transit of Gemini in mid-1800s, while the last Uranus-in-Gemini period of 1942 to 1949 saw the golden ages of Hollywood and radio. 

Uranus is more comfortable in Gemini than it is in Taurus, and so the pace of change can pick up, compared to the past 7 years.  We can expect rapid change and disruption to the way we think and communicate, and how we get around, conduct trade and transport goods. 

Since Gemini is a dual sign, Uranus will drive the opposites to polarized positions.

Hopefully we can look to more technological advances and innovation during the current transit of Uranus in Gemini! Especially considering that Pluto is now in Aquarius, the sign Uranus rules. And that's another astrological marker of major technological advances. 

Uranus in Gemini and Social Unrest:

Historically, when Uranus enters Gemini we see a lot of fighting and skirmishes, revolts and revolutions against established powers, or fights between neighbours or within territories, such as civil wars. 

Every time Uranus was in Gemini since the USA was formed, it went to war... You see, the 7th House in the chart of the USA rules wars as well as diplomatic relationships, and it's in Gemini. 

• The Declaration of Independence was signed when Uranus was in Gemini.
  
  
• 85 years later, the Civil War happened when Uranus was in Gemini again - and Neptune just entered Aries, as it's about to do now.  
  
  
• In 1941, World War II started.  Uranus was at 27° Taurus at the time, just about to enter Gemini, where it was for the the next few years as the war raged.  And Neptune was at 29° Virgo, opposite of it's current position.  

But, in 1941 Saturn and Uranus were also conjunct, and it's a harsher planetary signature than what we will experience in 2025-2026.  

It doesn't have to be an armed fight.  We're already living through a trade war, initiated when Jupiter was in Gemini - just as it was at the time the USA entered World War II. 

But I have to say, I was shaking my head when the talk of the USA taking over Greenland and annexing Canada was on the news earlier this year! 

As they say, history doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes... 

Uranus in Gemini: Some Possibilities

The following list is from my webinar "Navigating 2025", and wow - a lot of this is already playing out!  Don't forget to sign up for "Navigating 2026" when it becomes available in the fall 😉

And remember,  astrology is about possibilities and probabilities.  Every sign and every planet represents several things or qualities in astrology.  I don't think I've seen all of the themes associated with a sign playing out when a planet visits that sign, but quite a few do.

• So, it's possible that over the next 7-8 years, self-driving cars will become the norm.  Note that when the planet is about to enter the sign, there are always developments to the industry associated with that sign. In Uranus's case, there could be shocks - we've already seen it playing out for EVs! (electric vehicles). But, once Uranus settles into Gemini, all things EV could pick up again.  
  
  
• Air travel could go through a transformation.
  
  
• And, perhaps we can leap into space travel?
  
  
• Virtual reality can become mainstream in education and other fields.
  
  
• AI could continue evolving in leaps and bounds - and remember that Pluto is in Aquarius, too,  building on the same technology theme!  I think this one is a safe bet for a prediction 😉 The darker side of this is that AI is likely to become more sophisticated in terms of deep fakes, and the use of AI by scammers. 
  
  
• Smart tech could grow to the point when it starts feeling oppressive.  The feeling of being slaves to our electronic devices can intensify.  And the feeling of being tracked and monitored by our devices to collect big data, and wondering where and how it is used!  In the end, I wonder if the Uranus energy of revolt will start playing out against technology. 

• Gemini is also about communication and speech, and Uranus is about delivering shocks.  In my webinar "Navigating 2025", recorded in December 2024, I talked about potential shocks coming to the freedom of speech.  Now, this thought is scary....  

Uranus-Pluto Trines:  Big Stuff

A big and important feature of Uranus's transit of Gemini is that it will make several trines with Pluto in Aquarius.

 Uranus trine Pluto occurs in a repeating cycle of every 105, 37, 74, and 37 years - because of Pluto's elliptic orbit. It has been 105 years since the last series in 1921-22. And the next series will be only 37 years from now, in 2063-65.

Uranus and Pluto will come close to a trine in 2025, but, much like the Saturn-Neptune conjunction, it won't become exact (at it's most powerful) until 2026. But then, we will have 5 repeating trines! 

• September 20-23, 2025 (a near-trine; not exact, but still powerful)
• July 18, 2026
• November 29,2026
• June 15, 2027
• January 13, 2028
• May 9, 2028
