Well, we have an interesting new wrinkle in the cosmic fabric of the universe as planet Uranus, the great awakener, moves into the masculine, mutable air sign of Gemini.

Uranus is known for its unpredictability, chaos, genius, revolution, technology, unconventional people, computers, and waves that travel unseen through the ethers, like wifi and cell phone signals, it’s that kind of vibe! It can also bring about sudden luck, bold changes or a major epiphany when it meets a planet or angle in your natal chart by transit.

Many times it can cause a “I just can’t do this anymore” kind of internal energy that you have to acknowledge and deal with. There is an astrological dictum about Uranus that is known as the 3-B’s, those being, breakthroughs, break-ups and breakdowns. It will spend roughly 7 years in each sign. This year it will have a retrograde period beginning on September 6 and go back into Taurus in November and firmly enter Gemini in May of 2026.

The trick to dealing with this kind of energy is to be flexible and willing to do something different to expand in a new direction. The cycle of Uranus is 84 years as it circles the Sun. People who are turning 84 this year will be experiencing their Uranus return, so if you live that long, you will have Uranus returning to the place it was when you were born. It is also considered a normal completion time for people to leave the material world for the next realm, as they feel complete and ready within that cycle. The world becomes too unfamiliar to them, especially if many of their close relatives or friends have departed.

The last time Uranus was in Gemini was between 1941-1949. The world was involved with Hitler and WW2 and the US entered the war after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor on Dec 8, 1941. On a positive note, two of the Beatles were born during this period, Paul and George, in 1942 and 1943 respectively, with Ringo and John both born in 1940. A birthday shout out to Ringo today as he turned 85 today! He is still touring with his All Star Band, can you believe it? Happy Birthday Ringo!

Uranus was also in Gemini from 1859-1865, the US Civil War period so that also underlines the revolution part of the Uranian vibe. This doesn’t necessarily mean we have to have a war during this cycle but there will definitely be outbreaks of oppression and rebellion throughout it.

As Uranus transits Gemini it will also transit one of your natal houses and make aspects to any planets in that house and those squaring or opposing it. These aspects will definitely be felt, depending on what planet and what house it is in. Get ready for some interesting changes coming soon. Gemini likes a lot of variety so it may feel like a firehose of change but you can find a way to deal with it. Pick and choose what you want to be involved with and focus on that.

Here’s a personal example of a Uranus transit from my chart. When Uranus was conjunct my natal Mercury in 2019 I made a radical move from Arizona to New Mexico as Mercury rules both my Ascendant and my 4th house cusp of home. I saw it coming many years before but started to really open up to the idea of moving in 2017 though I loved where I lived in Phoenix and had many friends, connections and business relationships through my 40 years there I knew I had to be open to something new.

While I didn’t know in the beginning where I would be moving to I had a list of the things I wanted to have around me. The universe opened up and presented a place with everything on the list to me! I just had to take the leap of faith and go for it.

I ended up moving to a small town in New Mexico that has everything on my criteria. It’s a bit remote but it fits the bill and I got out of the big city before Covid. It worked out fine, but it took courage, trust, stamina and an unwavering faith that it was going to work out. That’s the short version anyway but it was a two and a half year process with many twists and turns along the way.

If Uranus is active in your chart, you have to open up to something new, unconventional and different. And trust it will work out for the best for you.
