Uranus Retrograde: From Gemini Back into Taurus – Shifting the Ground Beneath Us
Uranus, the planet of disruption, innovation, and awakening, stations retrograde in Gemini this season, beginning a backward journey that will eventually carry it into Taurus again. When Uranus shifts gears, the collective feels it — plans stall, revelations stir beneath the surface, and we are asked to integrate the shocks and breakthroughs that Uranus has already delivered.
In Gemini, Uranus brings restless mental energy, breakthroughs in communication, technology, and learning, and radical shifts in how we share and process information. But as it retraces its steps back into Taurus, we’re reminded of unfinished business around stability, finances, values, and the very foundations of our lives.
This retrograde is a chance to pause, recalibrate, and reflect: What changes have I resisted? Where am I being pushed to liberate myself from old structures?
Collective Themes of Uranus Retrograde in Gemini/Taurus
Revisiting Innovations: Ideas, conversations, or technologies that seemed “too far ahead” may return for review.
Slowing Restlessness: Mental overload gives way to a need for grounding and clarity.
Value Shifts: As Uranus dips back into Taurus, collective focus turns again to money, resources, and what truly matters.
Integration of Change: Instead of pushing forward into the new, Uranus retrograde asks us to process what has already been shaken loose.
