Renegade Uranus pivots into its annual, five-month retrograde on September 6, and for the first time since the 1940s, the backspin begins in motormouthed Gemini. Buckle up: here’s your Uranus retrograde horoscope.
Uranus retrograde: Sep 6, 2025 to Feb 3, 2026
Since 2018, disruptor Uranus has rattled foundations in methodical Taurus, shaking our collective grip on reality. On July 7, 2025, Uranus slipped into Gemini for a preview of the thrilling, unpredictable seven-year tour that fully launches in April 2026. Now we get a taste of Uranus retrograde in Gemini, from September 6 to November 7, before the blue planet takes one last retrograde lap in Taurus in our lifetimes, from November 7 to February 3.
What happens during Uranus retrograde?
Side-spinning Uranus is the renegade of the skies, sparking innovation and upheaval wherever it goes. Like a mad scientist in a lab, its role is to break us free from restrictive thinking and stale patterns so we can progress as a society. Like all of the outer planets, Uranus has an annual retrograde cycle that lasts for approximately five months.
Uranus takes 84 years to cycle through the entire zodiac, hanging out in each sign’s “airspace” for approximately seven years. Whichever sign Uranus is orbiting through gives the planet its focus. Here is where we see innovation, chaos and massive societal changes. When Uranus turns retrograde it can pull the emergency brake on fast-moving progress. In some ways, this can be a relief. These five-month, forced timeouts give us an opportunity to evaluate our specs and make sure we are engineering the right kind of solutions.
In 2025, the rebel planet backspins through Gemini and Taurus, forcing us to rethink how we talk, relate and build security.
Uranus retrograde in GEMINI: Sep 6 to Nov 7, 2025
September 6 begins a period of reevaluation in how you interact, think and socialize. Gemini is the sign of the Twins and governs our peer interactions. How do we cooperate and communicate with the people in our everyday lives and society as a whole? ChatGPT and other AI solutions are barreling humanity into a new frontier and changing Gemini-ruled areas of life: writing, cognition, conversations. (Hello GPT “therapists” and “romantic partners“?) Do we want flesh-and-blood friendships or digital twins? The answer is starting to feel vague.
There’s no denying that the “broligarchy” of tech billionaires is busy making waves as Uranus embarks on this new transit through Gemini, its first visit since the 1940s. Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta is actively working to develop a superintelligence model that surpasses human brainpower in every area. Talks of AI replacing human labor have become downright dystopian. But is that what people actually want (and need) to embrace? As Uranus retraces its steps, be prepared for unexpected revelations that challenge both conventional thinking and this forward thrust toward a sci-fi world.
Uranus retrograde in TAURUS: Nov 7, 2025 to Feb 3, 2026
Partway through its retrograde, Uranus will slip back into Taurus for one final lap in the Bull’s pen. This will be a chance to crystallize all the hard-won economic lessons you’ve learned since the Uranus in Taurus cycle began in 2018. Values—and what you consider worthy of your time—may have evolved in ways you never expected over the past seven years. Where Gemini rules mobile technology, Taurus governs the tactile, analog world. We may see people pushing back against the Silicon Valley sentinels. The rise of conservative values, especially among Gen Z, may very well be the result of Uranus’ tour of traditional Taurus which drove up backlash to Uranian progress.
Did someone mute your rebel yell?
Side-spinning Uranus rules all things rebellious and futuristic, and air sign Gemini is clever. Uranus in this sign will shake up your routines daily and supercharge your minds with groundbreaking ideas. But when it’s retrograde, you can expect more “back to the lab” challenges than breakthroughs.
Remember chaotic Uranus’s purpose is to disrupt the status quo. Your best bet during the Uranus in Gemini retrograde is to stay flexible and be ready to pivot at a moment’s notice. Make sure you aren’t flying out over your skis just because you think you’ve hit on the next viral sensation or industry-changing idea. Test it out before you flood the zeitgeist with hype.
When Uranus spins back into earth sign Taurus, the traditionalist, the opposing forces may feel more obvious. Uranus wants change, while Taurus seeks to limit it and create predictability. Because Uranus is in “fall” in Taurus—its least comfortable position—the stark contrast intensifies during a retrograde.
Uranus will turn direct on February 3, but remain in Taurus for its final leg until April 25, 2026. After that, we get seven full years to experience what Uranus in Gemini has in store. Buckle up and check your anti-gravity gear. That rocket ship ride is definitely heading for some new dimensions between April 2026 and May 2033!
