The purpose of Uranus is liberation, evolution, and truth. It opens us to a new way, a different way, of thinking and being. It represents a fundamental truth of our world, which is that nothing stands still. Existence is a constant state of evolution.
Uranus is also seen as the higher mind. It is vaster consciousness and the akashic field of possibility and potential where all timelines converge and the future whispers to us.
Gemini is also the mind. It is the landscape of our mental world. The perspectives we experience life through. The thoughts we speak. The way our mind translates into curiosities that that guide our learning.
Uranus retrograde in the sign of Gemini brings its awakening essence to the mind. Here we turn inward and review the narratives, stories, perspectives, and mental structures through which we see and know ourselves, others, and all of life around us. Uranus in retrograde in this sign is an inner revolution that invites us to break free from the constraints we have placed upon ourselves and our everyday lives from the inside out.
This duration of time is intensely spiritual in nature. It brings an awareness of ourself as one with the vaster consciousness of possibility. When we create space for contemplation, we find a higher perspective as we begin peering both backward and forward simultaneously. We are able to observe the limitations of the mind as applied to each situation in our past and present from a higher perspective. From this vantage, we can rewrite our story.
As Uranus reenters Taurus, we are invited to explore a paradox that the planet has been instilling in us since 2018, which is that the more we are ground ourselves in our bodies and the tangible, the more we have access to the intangible.
Uranus in Taurus has also been breaking open our inward relationship with security in all its forms, including finances, liberation, individuality, belonging, and freedom. It has also been bringing in a new way to relate to the wisdom of our bodies and expand our comfort zones, increasing our capacity for more of us to be grounded into life.
After its retrograde ends on February 4, 2026, Uranus will spend its final moments in Taurus where it will not return for another 76 years. It will then shift into Gemini again on April 24, 2026, where it will remain until 2033.
