Uranus – last to join the party

Uranus moving into Gemini this Sunday is the final piece of the new era jigsaw. All four outer planets are now firmly established on their new track. The move from Water Earth (Pluto Capricorn, Uranus Taurus, Neptune Saturn Pisces) to Air Fire (Pluto Aquarius, Uranus Gemini, Neptune Saturn Aries) is complete.  

 Stephen Arroyo describes Water Earth, our recent experience, as serious, burdensome, concerned with survival needs, determined and can-be manipulative. Air Fire on the other hand is described as idealistic, positive-thinking, aspiring, optimistic, witty, though not always realistic.

 There are hints of a definite improvement ahead though whether the late French astrologer Andre Barbault’s prediction for ‘the turning point of 2026-2030’ will hold good seems a distant possibility as of now.  He looked forward to ‘the awakening of the mysteries of life.’ ‘Four planets – in a triangle with each other – that move as if they wanted to metamorphose the world. We are faced with the possibility of a change such as to make it seem too weak the terms “change” or the same “upheaval” to define the breadth of what could transform the known world.’    

  The translation from his native French is a touch clunky but he clearly expected a momentous change for the better.

  What will get in the way of a golden road ahead is Saturn moving into Taurus in 2028 and in a deprived/hardship/war-mongering square to Pluto for 18 months. By 2030 Saturn is into Gemini and by 2031 is conjunct Uranus, which in previous eras has sometimes led to a peak of enlightenment and justice though it can have other effects as well.

 Below from a previous post:

Uranus is the lightning god, trailblazer, promoter of freedom, independence, revolutions, scientific inventions, as well as anarchic chaos. Wary of emotional intimacy, at a personal level it can seem cold, uncooperative, belligerent about compromise which Uranus equates with loss of individuality.  Uranus was the sky god married to Gaia the earth mother. He was ultimately castrated by his son Saturn after expressing disgust for his earthy, ugly brood of children. Thus he is deemed to be against the biology.

  Uranus fosters intellectual creativity, shines a light on hidden places, acts as a torchbearer into the unknown. But left to run amok can be destructive, collapsing old structures and lacking the inclination to reconstruct better on the far side.

  Looking back over the past century plus of Uranus through the signs, which it changes every seven years, year it enters a new sign has coincided with a tranche of firsts in technical and scientific advances which altered the face of our culture – television demonstrations and transmissions, airplane development from the first 40 minute flight to plane bombing, first parachute jumps, and first set-up of commercial airlines, then space travel. In more recent times the internet moved from early computing in the 1955/6 Uranus into Leo, further advances in 1962, Microsoft being founded in 1974 with Uranus just into Scorpio, first computer virus on the next in 1981 when moving into Sagittarius, then 1989 into Capricorn the first commercial internet providers and the WWW.

   Delightfully Albert Einstein published his seminal papers which led to a century’s study of theoretical physics the year Uranus moved into Capricorn in 1902.

  What is also noticeable skipping down events is how many iconic performers, novels, films emerged/exploded onto the scene in the year Uranus changed sign.

1949 into Cancer: Billy Graham.

1955/56 into Leo: Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Rogers and Hammerstein at their peak, Doris Day’s most famous hit. First Eurovision Song Contest.

1962 into Virgo: Johnny Carson debut, Rolling Stones debut, Beatles firsts, first ever Bond movie Dr No, Bob Dylan, David Lean’s Lawrence of Arabia.

1974 into Scorpio: Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody.

1981 into Sagittarius: film ET

1989 into Capricorn: Salman Rushdie’s Satanic Verse controversy.

1995 into Aquarius: Toy Story – first computer generated animated feature.

  In the century before as Uranus moved into Gemini Darwin published his Origin of the Species; and Big Ben chimed for the first time in London.

  There are also intriguing repeats.  Bill Gates was born on the 1955 with Uranus just into Leo and founded Microsoft two later on Uranus just into Scorpio.

  The Beatles burst onto the scene in 1962 as Uranus moved into Virgo and made their last public appearance next time round in 1968 when Uranus moved into Libra.

  The Vietnam War started in 1955/56 in Leo and finished three Uranus cycles later as it moved into Scorpio in 1975.

  The Guildford Four who were imprisoned in 1975 in the UK in a miscarriage of justice for alleged IRA bombings with Uranus just into Scorpio were freed fourteen years later as Uranus moved into Capricorn in 1989.

   Revolutions are a key outcome of the Uranian push for freedom at all costs. The Eastern European uprisings of 1989 when the Berlin Wall was collapsed came with Uranus just moving into Capricorn. That year also apartheid in South Africa started to be dismantled.  The Arab Spring coincided with Uranus moving into Aries in 2011. The 1968 Uranus into Libra brought the start of the Irish Troubles and the Stonewall riots fighting for gay rights.

  The destructive side of Uranus comes out with brutal suppressions as in Tiananmen Square in 1989 (in Capricorn); the Holocaust in 1942/43 (in Gemini); Nazism on the rise and the Night of the Long Knives purge in Germany in 1934 with Uranus moving into Taurus. And the Titanic sank as Uranus moved into Aquarius in 1912.

  Uranus moving through Gemini as will happen from 2025 to 2032 is likely to have a noticeable impact on the USA since previous occasions coincided with the American Civil War during the 1860s; and the American Revolution in 1775/76; and the previous one to this in 1942/43 came on the back of Pearl Harbour and the USA moving into World War 11. The USA Uranus Return is 2027.

  1. ” The Beatles burst onto the scene in 1962 as Uranus moved into Virgo and made their last public appearance next time round in 1968 when Uranus moved into Libra.”

    Although Uranus would still have been in Libra, Marjorie, the Beatles made their final public appearance in their celebrated concert on the roof of their Apple Corps headquarters on January 30, 1969, not in 1968.

  2. This ingress opposes my 1H Jupiter-Neptune conjunction, but doesn’t adversely affect my personal planets yet (aside from a separating opposition to Mars and a quincunx to Mercury, 3° either side). I did remember the “air getting a bit lighter” last year but don’t recall anything major, personally. Cautious optimism as always, then.

  3. I must say, I am personally very ready for the change! I’ve felt incredibly stuck in the past couple of weeks with Saturn opposing my Sun, and hope this will give me a much needed boost. I have Jupiter 1′ Gemini and MC 3′ Gemini, and since I have been unemployed for almost 9 months (longest period ever) Uranus/MC shouldn’t be negative.

    • Good luck, Solaia! Uranus should definitely give you a boost hitting Jupiter and MC.

      When Uranus squared my 0 Virgo Mercury in September, I did a face plant on the sidewalk, on my birthday no less. Just strained tendons, luckily, nothing broken. Maybe my mind was too off in the air that day. Hoping any surprises are more positive this time around! Uranus will also square my 2 Virgo Venus and Pluto (2nd house) – eek. My partner of 17 years will be moving in with me as he’s losing the lease on his city apartment. So change there but not exactly more freedom unless you figure in not having to pack up nearly every weekend to go stay with him in the city (fun as it is to be there), so I guess there’s some freedom in that. There are some supportive transits as well.

    • Good luck to you! My son has Jupiter at 0 Gemini in his 5th. Has this placement of yours enhanced communication, esp WRT writing? Thabks.

    • I too am ready for some change although what it will bring – I’m not sure. Uranus will be moving into my 2nd where it contacts my t-square. My work has dried up due to AI and while I’ve been happy to take a break and eke out the last that I can; the presence of Pluto moving into my 10th is urging me to get back out there – just not quite enough yet! Saturn has just entered my 12th for the next couple of years and I suspect the fresh start may not be coming immediately. That said, last time around in 1996-98 I left my first job, spent a year contracting before embarking on new adventures. Let’s see how it all unfolds this time around.

    • At last I’m free! For very sad reasons a long term load has been lifted and my relief is palpable. This has happened in the last 3 weeks. I still have responsibilities but from a distance. I can handle them. I have uranus/gemini first house 29o and am predominantly Air/Fire. I don’t care how it works out, I’m just happy to breathe again.

  4. I wonder if Uranus in Gemini could signal the death of marriage or challenge the concept of life -long monogamous unions. Gemini being the 5th house for Aquarius.
    Might also manifest as unexpected flirtations or affairs of the mind ??

    • @Caroline, since both Aquarius and Gemini are air signs, I am thinking about people becoming much less interested in sex, overall. Some of the Neptune in Pisces/Uranus in Taurus trends seem to have been more about performing gender and sexuality than about sex itself.

  5. Mercury rules the first bound of Gemini…from 00Gemini to 5Gemii59
    Things ruled by Mercury during Uranus transit will change dramatically.
    Learning and education can be disrupted, dramatically changed, or non-traditional. It’s a time that demands adaptability and open-mindedness. Information bites rather than chunks can be prevalent, and our communication styles, especially the ways we extend gestures and pleasantries, can change dramatically. Ideas can spread very quickly and create dramatic change during this period. There can be more movement, migration, and busy-ness in general. Sudden changes in alliances can occur, along with disruptions in friend groups.
    Uranus will enter Gemini on July 7, 2025, and has had significant transits in this sign in the past, notably from 1941 to 1949, 1858 to 1866, and 1774 to 1781.
    Historical Transits of Uranus in Gemini
    1941 to 1949: This period included major global events such as World War II. Uranus in Gemini was associated with rapid advancements in technology and communication, including the development of radar and early computers. It also marked significant social changes, including the establishment of the United Nations and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
    2
    1858 to 1866: During this time, the invention of the transatlantic cable revolutionized communication, allowing for the first intercontinental telegraph transmissions. This period also saw the rise of nationalism and significant changes in transportation technology, such as locomotives and steamships.
    2
    1774 to 1781: This era included the American Revolutionary War, which was influenced by Enlightenment ideas. The period was marked by significant technological innovations, including the first hot air balloon flights and advancements in electricity.

    • Gems can start a sentence with one view and end it with an entirely different position 🙂

      Uranus entering Gemini could manifest as Trump unexpectedly keeping his promises ?

      • Seriously though, Uranus being the higher octave of Mercury, I see evolvement and, – hopefully, less self/ego, in (Mercury-ruled) Trump’s communication style and endeavors.

  7. I had a little look at famous people with Uranus in Gemini on their AC/MC and found that Alois Alzheimer had Uranus in Gemini on his AC with a Gemini Sun. I wonder if we will see significant breakthroughs and changes in mental health treatment, psychedelics etc look like they are coming, and who knows what else, but hopefully positive.

    • Louisa, I would like to see an actual cause for Alzheimer’s discovered. They talk about tau tangles, but take a look at the Dr Snowdon study on nuns. The nuns were acting cognitively until their deaths. When they performed brain biopsies, the nuns were full of tau tangles and amyloid beta proteins. My mom had alzheimer’s. Her body was so healthy, hospice took the nurse’s recommendations, otherwise hospice said she would live forever.

      • @Speakerdee, honestly, as
        someone whose loved one is now entering late stage Alzheimer, I won’t condemn you for grabbing a theory from a person who retired in 2008 to deal with the loss. But everything I find on your keywords is word salad.

        I remember my very first and profoundly weird gynecologist telling me that there aren’t nuns dying of cervical cancer, but there are those dying of brest cancer. This is ultimately a sound assessment. Different lifestyles bring different risks.

  8. The Saturn-Uranus conjunction in Gemini in 2031 I’ve seen interpreted as being a shift back to localisation. The last conjunction circa 1987 in Sag began globalisation. With what is currently occurring in the world that seems like it could be a solid prediction.
