Good evening, friends!
Uranus, the planet of awakening, rebellion, and sudden change, enters the quicksilver sign of Gemini tomorrow, Monday, July 7, 2025, where he will reside until he begins his transition into Cancer in 2032, fully making his ingress in 2033. This marks a major shift in the collective energy—Uranus hasn’t been in Gemini since 1942–1949, and the next seven/eight years promise to accelerate our ideas, our technologies, and our relationships with communication, data, and movement.
For all of us, Uranus in Gemini opens a new chapter of innovation, disruption, and mental liberation. We’ll be challenged to rethink the way we speak, teach, learn, write, commute, and connect. Old paradigms will crack. New neural pathways will be innervated. The pace picks up, and we’ll need to stay flexible, curious, and willing to evolve.
Uranus Enters Gemini 2025
You can see Uranus on the left-hand side of the chart, sitting at 00° Gemini 00’, right at the 9 o’clock position.
I have broken this deep dive up into two parts. In Part One: we’ll explore what Uranus represents, what the transition from the last decan of Taurus (Taurus III) to the first decan of Gemini (Gemini I) symbolizes through the lens of the Tarot, and then we will close with horoscopes for all 12 Sun or Rising signs tomorrow in Part Two.
It’s a HUGE day for astrologers, my friends! :D
Okay, let’s get into…the astrology
(all times are in Eastern time unless otherwise noted)
What does Uranus represent?
Uranus is the planet of revolutionary change, breakthroughs, wild, unpredictable events, chaos, and—at its core—freedom. Whichever house he will be traversing in your natal chart for the next seven years will point to the areas of your life where radical changes will occur.
Uranus liberates, often through shocks or disruptions that shatter the status quo and demand we adapt to a new reality. These changes can be deeply uncomfortable—or thrilling and electrifying. It all depends on how ready you are to break out of your box.
Astrologer Christopher Renstrom said in his recent video about Uranus in Gemini that this eccentric planet will often act a bit like the Wheel of Fortune in the Tarot, bringing unpredictable things at the start of the new cycle which return at the end--coming full circle in a way—so you may find that you are dealing with a similar situation now that you were dealing with seven years ago, and what you experience this year during Uranus’s first dip into Gemini1 will be echoed again in seven years when he leaves Gemini and enters Cancer in 2032/33.
Look back at what was going on in May of 2018. What were you doing? What were you experiencing? What radical change shook your life? This was when Uranus first entered Taurus. Chances are that you were doing something very similar to what you are doing now, but with a whole new perspective.
For me, my family and I made a huge move, leaving our little coastal town in Northern California that we had called home for eight years, in March of 2018, two months before Uranus entered Taurus for the first time! We were leaving a place that we loved and setting out on a new grand adventure; one that promised an expansion of opportunities, new friends, and new communities—I called it the “Epic Move of 2018.” We ended up staying in a hotel for six weeks and didn’t move into our new home until May of 2018, the very month Uranus entered Taurus.
Now, during Uranus’s transition into Gemini, we’re back in California, preparing to drive home to North Carolina. This trip wasn’t planned for this timing—we were supposed to vacation in May—but the Universe had other plans. Now, instead of leaving our “home” and going on an adventure toward new horizons, we will be going “back home” this time. So we have come full circle, and surprisingly, we are doing the same thing—driving across the country—but under different circumstances. It’s so strange, but so cool at the same time.
This cyclical pattern was something I’d never considered until hearing Renstrom describe it—and now I can’t unsee it. It’s like Uranus “bookends” his sign changes with events that rhyme or mirror each other.
And sometimes, they shake the Earth—literally. Uranus does symbolize earthquakes, after all.
I’ll never forget the day that Uranus entered Aries for good in 2011…it was the day of the Fukushima earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear meltdown disaster. That was sure scary!
Then, during the time in the hotel in 2018, when Uranus was leaving Aries for good, we had a series of tornadoes in the eastern United States, one even hit the parking lot of my husband’s new job in Greensboro! I remember there was also torrential rain like I had never experienced before during that storm. So, Uranus entered and left Aries, a sign ruled by Mars, the god of war and destruction, with violent natural disasters.
As above, so below.
I feel like Uranus comes along like this, shaking things up, forcing change to happen, like a natural disaster. First, the destruction occurs, then the community comes together to rebuild itself from the ashes. The whole process is a sort of wild reclamation of the self, and sometimes it’s beyond your control, or external, like a natural disaster or a freak accident; other times it’s a choice you make internally, like leaving a relationship, relocating, shifting professions, or having a baby. Either way, Uranus introduces the unknown, and what you think will happen rarely matches what actually unfolds. And there it is. The Uranian twist we all need to be prepared for!
Uranus takes 84 years to orbit the Sun, spending about 7 years in each sign. These are generational shifts, impacting wide swaths of people—but for individuals, it’s most potent when Uranus activates one of your natal planets or moves through one of your angular houses (1st, 4th, 7th, 10th).
If you have planets in Gemini, or in mutable signs like Virgo, Sagittarius, or Pisces, the next seven years will likely bring major changes, and that is because Uranus will be making conjunctions, squares, and oppositions to these placements.
Personally, I have no natal planets in Gemini—but Gemini rules my 1st house, so this transit will hit home in deeply personal ways. I’ll also experience trines, squares, and oppositions to other planets in my chart—So, I can expect some beneficial experiences and also some profoundly challenging ones while Uranus is in Gemini.

From Sacrifice to Liberation: Uranus’s Shift from Taurus to Gemini Through the Tarot
Each zodiac sign spans 30 degrees and is divided into three decans—10-degree segments that each correspond to a Minor Arcana card in the Tarot and are traditionally ruled by a specific planet within that sign. So for every sign, there are three Tarot cards and three planet-sign combinations that shape and deepen the energetic flavor of the sign through these decans (often referred to as decan I, II, or III of the respective sign).
Uranus entered the last decan of Taurus at the end of May 2023. The last decan of Taurus, Taurus III, is represented by the VII of Pentacles in the Tarot.
Taurus III—VII of Pentacles
This card speaks to exhaustion. You’ve been pouring your blood, sweat, and tears toward a long-term goal, but now you wonder, Is it worth it? Will it ever pay off?
Associated with Saturn in Taurus, this decan demands persistence, hard work, restraint, and self-discipline as you attempt to create order, beauty, and meaningful wealth by putting in the overtime.
It represents delayed gratification, working hard now for future rewards. But it also reflects deprivation—the refusal to enjoy pleasures in the name of responsibility and conservation.
So, as Uranus has been going through this space over the last 3+ years, there may have been the urge to break free of the constraints you’ve put upon yourself, challenging the scarcity mindset and all the things you “should” have been doing. Uranus throws off these chains and demands freedom and liberation of spirit—so you could’ve found yourself fighting back against the oppression. Figuring out where you were sacrificing too much, or denying yourself, and saying things like, “enough is enough!”
Gemini I-VIII of Swords
The first decan of Gemini, Gemini I, which Uranus enters tomorrow, July 7, 2025, correlates to the VIII of Swords in the Tarot, which has to do with feeling trapped in your circumstances, by your mind. Your way of thinking and the ways in which you mentally bind yourself create a form of mental entrapment, a mental cage. These restraints can be broken by liberating the mind, and Uranus will do just that.
This card correlates with Mercury in Gemini, so there is a need to explore all the details, all the data, and assimilate your world through the lens of information. Mercury in Gemini is curious, analytical, rational, and loves a good game. He is quick with the tongue and very skilled with language and his hands; therefore, he’s crafty, clever, and witty.
But this cleverness can become a cage. The mind runs in circles, second-guessing every option, seeing consequences before they unfold—so you do nothing.
The result? Paralysis. A mental maze with no obvious exit.
Uranus bursts in like a gust of wind through an open door! Whether you’re ready or not, you’ll be pushed into freedom. The limitations you've placed on yourself will be exposed—and blown away.
I think looking at these two cards side by side—VII of Pentacles and VIII of Swords--tells an interesting story that correlates to the transition that we may all feel as Uranus moves into the first decan of Gemini:
From a mindset of hard work, exhaustion, and no play…
To sudden liberation, mental clarity, and a new way of thinking.
We’re going from “I must keep working hard to prove my worth”
to “Why am I still playing this mental game with myself?”
Could it be that the goal we have been working so hard to achieve for the last seven years suddenly doesn’t appeal to us anymore?
Could it be that we have finally crossed the finish line with a project, and we are now free to choose to do something else, but we don’t know what?
We ask: Has it been worth it?
Did we really want the outcome we were working toward?
Now that the work is over, are we happy with the results or feeling empty?
These are the questions Uranus will raise, so prepare yourselves.
Uranus in Taurus vs. Uranus in Gemini
Uranus in Taurus was about breaking down stagnant foundations and reevaluating our relationship with pleasure, resources, and the material world.
Uranus in Gemini will be about mental freedom: breaking out of the thought prisons we’ve built, and learning to speak, think, and connect in radically new ways.
Uranus brings breakthroughs, “Ah-ha!” moments, and periods of chaos. These moments may come as “life earthquakes,” shaking the soil loose so we have room to breathe, room to grow, and room to be our authentic selves. It can be very disorienting, scary, and unnerving. It could even crack the foundations that we thought were solid and unbreakable.
But, it’s by getting through the chaos that we come out the other end organized.
Like breaking an egg to turn it into an omelet—for a moment it is just a gooey mess and it seems so improbable that it will turn into anything tasty and enjoyable, but through the application of heat, effort, and a little love, the egg is changed into something useful, nourishing, and better than it was before.
This is what Uranus does to us as he goes through our charts.
He takes the raw materials of our lives, our “eggs”, scrambles them, and cooks us into something new—something that wouldn’t have been possible without that initial liberating crack.
We are the same… but different.
A new and improved version of who we were meant to be.
To be continued…

Uranus will dip his toe into Gemini and then station retrograde, going back into the final degrees of Taurus and then ingress into Gemini for good in 2026, so this year is a transition year when we get a loud preview of coming attractions. Check out the graphic I made of these transitions at the top of the post.
