Is it Ur-ran-us or Ur-anus? Actually, both are acceptable pronounciations, but I say Ur-ran-us simply because Ur-anus sounds gross.

Uranus in Gemini - July 7, 2025 until May 22, 2033. Uranus will retrograde back into Taurus on November 8, 2025 until April 26, 2026 where it will then re-enter Gemini until May 22, 2033.

Uranus is known in the astrological community as The Great Awakener, The Rebel Rouser, and The Tilted Planet.

The Uranus glyph represents the cross of matter confined at both sides where matter is being forced up from the bottom circle of spirit. Wherever Uranus shows up, it will force change in your Life. Let's look at the graphic below and think about that first line again because it is important.

Notice the cross in the middle. The cross of matter. Matter is that which is physical substance, which is different from the mind and spirit. Matter is being confined from both sides pressing on it, almost like it is being squeezed, as if two walls were coming closer together and closing in on 'matter' thereby confining the space of matter. It's almost as if 'the matter' is being squeezed out or erased.

Often times Uranus will give you the feeling of being squeezed out or erased from something only to squirt you into a different direction. Sometimes being squeezed out is exactly what you need. As the squeeze continues, our spirit from the bottom circle will reveal what we are made of and we begin pushing up on 'matter'. It's just like squeezing toothpaste out of a tube. The spirit (our spirit) engages, pushes on matter and shows us just what we are made of and what we can do with our lives. I LOVE THIS GLYPH!

Did you know that Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius? Uranus was only discovered in 1781, so if Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius, what ruled Aquarius before 1781 because we know Astrology has been around practically forever! Saturn is the ancient ruler of Aquarius, while Uranus is the modern day ruler of Aquarius. And did you know that Uranus is the father of Saturn, while Saturn is the father of Jupiter. That's a little Greek and Roman mythology for ya'. Uranus is also the only planet named after a Greek god instead of a Roman god, like Saturn and Jupiter. So, contrary to popular belief, Uranus was not named after Uranium. It was Uranium that was named after Uranus.

Let's trek back for a brief moment and contemplate what occurred over the past seven (7) years in our Life when Uranus first entered Taurus on May 15, 2018. Think of where you felt this squeeze on yourself. Uranus was in the sign of Taurus, which is the sign of self-worth, that translates into net-worth, earned income, personal money, personal possessions, as well as our morals and values. Was there a feeling of being erased in the Taurus area of your chart only to come out at the other end different or new or complete or emptied or changed?

Well, Uranus LOVES to change things, because change is Uranus's jam. Uranus spins things and whips them into a NEW AND IMPROVED state of matter. Anytime you see 'New and Improved' on a new product or service, THINK URANUS WAS HERE! Look, even the glyph for Uranus looks like a 'top' spinning. For the younger generation, a 'top' was a toy that children would spin.

When you are feeling the squeeze of Uranus, it is trying to get your spirit to get a move on and to take some physical action. URANUS IS ALL ABOUT MOVING PHYSICAL MATTER! What's the matter? Are you not moving your ASS? No wonder Ur-anus has a little ass in it! LOL! Some of us work better under pressure, with the feeling of two confining walls pressing in on us, to squeeze something really wonderful out of us. This is what Uranus does and will do, only now it is doing it under the sign of Gemini.

Remember again what the squeezing effects of Uranus in Taurus did FOR YOU. It should be 'for you' and not 'to you'. Uranus in Taurus had the focus on your self-worth, as well as your net-worth. You had to get squeezed out to get a clue about your own Life. That initial pop of dry toothpaste can make a mess, but after that, the toothpaste begins to flow freely. That is what Uranus does to us.

Now Uranus moves into Gemini, which rules your mental abilities, how you learn, style of communication and your modes of transportation. This is the area that gets squeezed until something squirts out. Gemini also rules marketing, promotion, sales, advertising, reporting and reporters. This is not like Saturn putting the squeeze on you to limit, restrict or withhold because you need discipline or need to learn responsibility and maturity. This is about your Goodness get squeezed out. So we will all experience this squeezing up and out of ourselves as the walls push in on us and the cream of us rises to the top.

Uranus (the tilted planet) is the higher octave of Mercury, and both have their place in the weather. While Mercury rules the wind, Uranus rules strong winds. Uranus essentially brings Life to the wind. In fact, in Greek mythology Uranus personifies the sky and gives it a human nature (Mother Nature).

When we hear the rumblings of thunder that's one thing, but hearing and seeing lightning strike, then we suddenly get the idea that it just got real. Uranus personifies the sky! Something is definitely goin' down. Let's not forget Pluto is in Aquarius, which shows us planes going down or breaking down.

Uranus is known for being a very 'unique' planet and for calling our attention to that which is 'unusual'. Uranus has a very 'strange' look about it if you notice from the graphic at the top of the page. This probably has a lot to do with the fact that Uranus is also known as 'The Tilted Planet' because it rotates on its side. How unusual is that? So if Uranus is on its side, are Uranus's North and South pole really North and South or East and West? Uranus on its sides presents both of its poles to the Sun at the same time. This means both hemispheres on one side are bathed in light by the Sun, while the other side has both hemispheres bathed in total darkness. It's wild! Unusual to say the least. Sure, most planets are tilted 'a bit' but not like Uranus. It is literally on its side. I bet you won't forget how unusual Uranus is now, will you?

Since Uranus naturally rules Aquarius, which is the natural ruler of groups and masses, then it stands to reason that Uranus governs societies, it rules governing boards, meaning those who sit and make decisions for and about others (eeeek), denominations, memberships, clubs, organizations and any group based on humanitarian or progressive ideals.

Uranus, being the ruler of electricity, is also the planet of sudden and unexpected changes (like Lightning). Socially speaking, Uranus rules radical ideas and the people who have those radical ideas, as well as any revolutionary events that upset the establishment.

Back in 1781 when Uranus was discovered, this was time period of the Romantic movement, which had everything to do with artistic, literary, musical and intellectual thoughts, talents, skills and interests.

The Romantic movement also emphasized freedom of expression, individuality and creativity. No one likes there freedom quite like Uranus. "Don't tell me what to be or how to spin! I'm my own planet!" says Uranus. And so it goes with humans who have a strong Uranus or Aquarius placement. ME! I have a strong, "Don't tell me what to f'ing do because I'll do that and then some that will make your take on freedom look like you sitting in a cage!"

Uranus is also the planet of innovations, inventions and inventors. Out of The Great Depression came several great inventions such as; the electric razor, the car radio, the tampon, the chocolate chip cookie, the first copy machine, the first supermarket and the board game 'Monopoly'. Can you imagine, sitting around during those days and thinking up this game? This is the kind of energy that Uranus brings. My parents both have Uranus in Gemini in their natal charts, imagine all of the inventions and innovations that this generation of people has seen over the course of their lifetimes. It is truly astonishing!

Now that you understand why Uranus is so unique, unusual and strange, and the time period in history when Uranus was discovered, then maybe now it will be easier to turn your thoughts inward and think about how Uranus impacts you personally. It is also important to note that Uranus is a 'generational planet' meaning due to its long orbit around the Sun (7 to 8 years) it affects an entire generation of people. Uranus isn't like one of the personal planets, like the Moon, Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars that are closest to the earth and affect us the most and most often. Generational planets affect us over a long period of time and as a huge group of people.

Since Uranus is one of the 'outer planets' then think of the outer planets as affecting us from the outside in, not the inside out. In other words, circumstances externally are affecting us internally, rather than something like our emotions (internal) impacting our reactions (external environment). You will have to learn how to roll with the changes and the quicker you learn to do this, the easier this transit is going to be. It is going to be particularly difficult for those who refuse to budge.

The house that Uranus occupies in your Natal Chart or Solar Return is where these characteristics will manifest the most. Look to your charts and pull out this Uranus gift of "Gee that's strange!" If something shows up in your Life as odd, unique, unusual or strange, then that's probably Uranus trying to give you a message. Remember the glyph, it's giving you the squeeze to see what you are made of. Check your Generational Horoscope to see how Uranus in Gemini will impact your Sun Sign. Stay Astrologized™.
