Changing the stories you tell yourself

2025 was always marked as a turning point in astrology. The 3 outer planets were all due to change signs: last year in November Pluto left Capricorn and moved into Aquarius. In March 2025 Neptune left Pisces and entered Aries. And now Uranus enters Gemini.

You might be curious about how to work with Uranus in Gemini, or you might be wondering how Uranus in Gemini will personally impact you. The majority of us don’t know, because we’ve never experienced Uranus in Gemini — this will be the first time you and I have experienced this transit. The last time Uranus was in this sign was in the 1940s!

Uranus only changes signs every 7 years, so this is pretty dang big.

Before we begin, here are some dates:

Uranus enters Gemini on July 7, 2025.
It briefly retrogrades back into Taurus in November 2025.
It then re-enters Gemini in January 2026, and stays there til early August 2032.
After a brief dip into Cancer, Uranus returns to Gemini in December 2032.
It then departs Gemini for good in May 2033.

Understanding the Uranus archetype in astrology

Uranus, the first planet that lies beyond Saturn, is the first invisible planet. It sits just outside what we can see with the naked eye – just beyond the system. He breaks the rules and opens us to what lies beyond known convention. The outer planets function behind the scenes, shaping events on a large scale according to an ‘invisible’ logic. As one of the outer planets, Uranus doesn’t describe personal traits, but rather the thinking and feeling of the whole of humanity.

Uranus in the planet of disruption, rebellion, innovation and liberation. He breaks rules and builds new systems. Uranus wants progress, and is an energy that liberates. It offers us choices, freedom, and new possibilities.

One of the mythological archetypes that have been associated with Uranus is Prometheus, who known for defying the gods, by stealing fire and giving it to humanity in the form of technology, knowledge and, more generally, civilisation. The fire is, of course, a metaphor for the light of insight and knowledge (Uranus is the higher octave of Mercury).

Symbolically, Uranus represents our capacity to break free from rules, structures, and inherited scripts. In that sense, it represents freedom – because when we step outside the narrative, we gain the power to choose our own. Uranus above all is about freedom. How can one feel freedom or liberation if they're living in the constraints of other's or society's expectations of what is normal or what they should be? You simply can’t achieve freedom without individuality.

It’s also linked to innovation, disruption, and tools or technologies that make our life easier and give us more freedom from natural constraints or survival limitations - things like science, electricity, technology, innovation, the internet and social media, and even astrology.

the gemini influence

In our human development, Gemini is when we begin to develop the mind. Open any astrological book and it will undoubtedly mention that Gemini is about communication, but perception and curiosity are the main Gemini traits. Gemini needs to observe and gather experience to form it’s perceptions, and to share - or communicate - this information with others.

Gemini is a mutable sign that must remain in motion at all times. It is versatile and adaptive — in body and mind. However it’s main goal is to understand the different sides of themselves (the twins). Gemini is hungry for information, and luckily very skilled in it’s pursuit in gathering, correlating and sharing it!

when we combine Uranus and Gemini…

As Mercury’s higher octave, Uranus is comfortable in this Mercury-ruled sign. It’s ready to break rules and catalyse intellectual breakthroughs. Gemini thrives on variety, movement and mental play. Uranus here can awaken genius ideas, inspire new forms of communication and launch global conversations that might’ve once taken years to start. That’s because as the planet of disruption, innovation and liberation, Uranus is more about revolution than evolution. Uranus in Gemini can bring us brilliant ideas and progress at the speed of light.

We have two archetypes that gel well together. Both Uranus and Gemini are open, curious energies. They thrive on speed and change. And we can expect a LOT of movement, a LOT of innovation and a LOT of speed. But this continue buzz from electric Uranus in mutable air Gemini can produce anxiety, difficulties in relaxing, nervous chatter, problems with sleep, and emotional exhaustion.

We are about to experience a rapid evolution of intellect and the power of the mind and spoken word. Uranus in Gemini will help us advance by connecting ideas, people, and tools. The tools of change will become communication, our thug processes, learning systems, and networked intelligence.

In a mutable sign things will be quick and fluid. Gemini is ruled by Mercury after all which is the fastest moving planet. Together, Uranus and Gemini will quantum leap us in a flash. At this moment, we can’t comprehend what is coming, but it’s sure to change the world and our lives forever.

As a whole I predict we can expect changes in:

AI
Education
Communication and the mid
Mental health and mindset
Global transportation

Further collective and global influence:

While my predicted topics stand, we can only gather insight into how this transit will express by looking at previous Uranus in Gemini cycles. The US Sibley chart (the birth chart of the country) has Uranus in Gemini. Because Gemini is an important sign for the USA most of our research is based there.

Past Uranus in Gemini cycles brought us:

The American revolutionary war (1775-1783)
The US civil war (1861 - 1865)
And World war 2 (1941-1945
We also find the invention of computing and FM radio occurred during past Uranus in Gemini cycles.

Considering some of these past events, you might imagine the upcoming transit of Uranus in Gemini will be a time of radical change and upheaval in society and as a collective. The world will be going through much change, just as we personally will.

Uranus in Gemini on a personal level

This transition is unprecedented and will impact us on all levels – mental, emotional, social, and technological.

At an individual level, Uranus in Gemini marks an incredibly significant shift. Uranus moves out of a house/area of life that has been in focus for the past 7 years and enters a completely new terrain.

What once felt like the dominant theme in your life will begin to fade, and a new area of life will come into focus. Uranus wants to breathe new life and energy into an area of your life that has become boring, stagnant or perhaps too safe and familiar.

Uranus will bring an influx of energy, disruption, and acceleration to the house that it transits. Uranus in Gemini will ask us to open our minds and welcome ideas, experiences, and possibilities we hadn’t considered before – even those that challenge the “norm” and everything we thought to be true.

When we embrace this change and open up to a higher perspective, Uranus in Gemini becomes a supportive influence: it speeds things up, creates breakthroughs, and reveals entirely new paths. The process of this may feel like you’re being shook to your core, but it will only happen if it needed to. Ultimately, the house transited by Uranus in Gemini for the next 7 years is the area of life where you need to evolve.

Most people notice a quickening with Uranus transits and the themes of that house get a radical makeover. These themes will evolve rapidly!

One of the earliest signs that Uranus might be influencing you is a growing sense of restlessness. Life can begin to feel unstable, unpredictable or simply chaotic. You crave radical change in a certain area of your life. A restless and electric energy pulses through you, your mind is buzzing, and you have trouble sleeping — yep, thats Uranus in Gemini.

But, you can also experience flashes of insight or sudden ideas or epiphanies! As a Uranus transit unfolds, it's common to feel bored with the way things are. That sense of boredom, that restlessness with what has previously felt comfortable or safe, is a clue that you are ready for something new. You might not know what that something new or different might be yet.

For example, if Uranus in Taurus transits your 7th house, relationships take center stage now and will undergo radical change. This isn’t necessarily bad! With Gemini’s influence, Uranus will be asking you to change the stories you tell yourself about your relationships. Maybe you once had the mindset of “I’m better off alone, I don’t want/need commitment!” and now Uranus will help you shift that by introducing you to someone who makes you realise the complete opposite! Basically, Uranus is rewriting the script around relationships, and opening your mind to new understandings in this area of your life.

You may not have Gemini over the 7th house, but wherever Gemini is in your chart (yes, we ALL have Gemini in our charts even if there’s no planets there!) is the area of life about to be fast tracked under this unprecedented transit.

Here’s a cheat sheet of what to expect:

Gemini rising: expect changes in identity, personal interests, your style and how you're perceived
Taurus rising: shifts in income, cash flow, self-worth and personal resources
Aries rising: a focus mental clarity (epiphanies), connecting with others, break-throughs in all forms of communication, and mental rewiring
Pisces rising: expect shakeups to family dynamics, past issues, or a living relocation
Aquarius rising: revolutionise your creativity, romantic life, or relationship with your children
Capricorn rising: expect radical changes in work, health, and daily routines
Sagittarius rising: new stories around committed relationships, and changes like a deepening, or an ending
Scoprio rising: your approach to shared finances and assets, investments or debts experience a shake up, as well as changes in intimacy, shadows/healing and trust issues
Libra rising: a radical opening of the mind, how you see the world, what your beliefs and morals are, and new philosophical or educational pursuits
Virgo rising: wild changes and speed in your career, big ambitions, and public reputation
Leo rising: your social circles and larger groups your part of experience a shake up - from shedding unaligned friends to a surprise immersion in a network with a cause
Cancer rising: expect radical and unexpected spiritual growth, subconscious realisations, and mental-health breakthroughs (or the opposite)

While Uranus in Gemini will impact ALL of us in different ways and to different degrees, certain birth chart placements will be impacted the most:

You’re having an important Uranus transit if you have a planet or angle located in the mutable signs of Gemini, Virgo, Pisces or Sagittarius. Uranus will be extra potent for you and bring change, unexpected events, disruption or upgrades. Many of us, when we go through outer planetary transits like Uranus transits, feel like life turns upside down. Things don’t make sense at first. But trust in the unfolding and you’ll be pleasantly surprised!

Uranus is deeply connected to our sense of autonomy and freedom. Uranus in Gemini marks a new chapter in our relationship with awareness itself. During a Uranus transit you may learn more about your core authentic self, and you may crave the space and freedom to be true to yourself. Uranus isn’t interested in fitting in. It doesn’t crave social approval, or want to do what is safe and predictable. All its asks if for you to embrace who you really are. In doing so, everything around you may begin to change. You might surprise those around you, and they’ll say things like “you’re so different” or “that’s so unlike you!” This is all a sign you’re on an authentic path of a Uranus transit. Trust these shifts!

A key practice during Uranus in Gemini will be to ask new questions that will lead you in a new, more exciting and interesting direction. You’re feeling a need to revolutionise a part of your life for a reason — so lean into it!

We don’t always know what’s good for us – but the outer planets do. They move according to a deeper intelligence, like an invisible hand gently guiding us toward what we truly need. So there’s no need to fear Uranus’s transit through Gemini and the change it will inevitably bring. Everything will eventually make sense.
