Uranus in Gemini
You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all wanna change the world…

On December 21, 2020, Jupiter and Saturn met up in the sign of Aquarius in what is known as the Great Conjunction. This event marked the beginning of a larger 200-year cycle (from 2020 through 2199) during which these conjunctions will occur in Air signs. Changes from one element to another are considered markers in time that indicate a new era or a notable shift in the collective consciousness. This continuous cycle from fire to earth and from air to water is also known as the Great Mutation.
Doing the math, with 200-year cycles, it takes 800 years to move through all four elements. It’s important to note that the Great Mutation throughout history has been a harbinger of big changes in politics, social movements, and has been associated with the rise and fall of empires, the deaths of rulers and leaders, and new systems of governance. Air’s elemental manifestation is one of spreading, diffusing, circulating, and connecting.
An additional dependable method to gain understanding about future changes in the collective consciousness is by observing the transitions of the outer planets (referred to as the transpersonal planets) from one zodiac sign to another. These planets, which include Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, orbit beyond Saturn, the farthest planet visible to the naked eye. Their influences are linked to broader generational trends, concepts, and motifs as they traverse through each zodiac sign. The table below provides a summary of their movements:
Planet | Time Thru Zodiac | Time Through One Sign | Frequency of Retrograde |
Uranus | 84 years | 7 years average | once per year |
Neptune | 165 years | 14 years average | once per year |
Pluto | 248 years | 13-27 years | once per year |
Like many other astrologers, I have written about the movement of Pluto into Aquarius (an Air Sign), which occurs on November 18, 2024, and remains there until March of 2043. You can read more about this here: https://www.theclevelandshaman.com/post/we-the-people. This is especially significant because it also syncs up with the USA Pluto Return, which occurred in 2022, a time known as a period of reckoning and intense transformation. Here are a few quotes from another blog I wrote on this topic:
This will be an opportunity for healing, but not without some pain. Journeys to the underworld truly can be hell. Facing our past, our shadows, and the deep psyche are absolutely necessary for us to evolve but not pleasant by anyone’s estimation. This confrontational expedition will require that the United States as a nation and people undergo an intensive round of psychotherapy. One where we talk about the stuff we don’t like talking about. Old wounds will bubble up to the surface exposing something that has been hidden that must now be addressed. The unresolved issues can no longer be ignored.
- Randy Keller, The Massive Reckoning
There are many shadows we individually carry and nations possess them as well. A few of the more poignant matters that have always dwelled just below the surface of the United States’ young history have been the genocide of Native Americans, the scar of slavery, and the uneven distribution of material wealth under our system. These issues that have been suppressed by the weight of a collective denial are being examined in what will likely become a deeply gut-wrenching process, that if we choose to go the distance, will likely lead to a long-awaited healing.

Coming soon, we will have another one of the transcendent time bandits parachuting into an air sign. This will occur when freedom-seeking and innovative Uranus enters Gemini on July 7, 2025. The table below shows this transition into Gemini (including a brief retrograde period back into Taurus):
Gemini | July 7 - November 8, 2025 |
Taurus | November 8, 2025 - April 25, 2026 |
Gemini | April 25, 2026 - August 3, 2032 |
What can we anticipate from this entrance? It is crucial to recognize that both the zodiac sign Gemini and the planet Uranus are linked to the air element. Gemini is one of the three air signs, alongside Libra and Aquarius. Uranus serves as the modern ruler of Aquarius. Therefore, there is a significant presence of air energy. Air, being the second lightest element among the four earthly elements, with fire being the lightest, is characterized by expansiveness and a natural inclination to rise. It is a dynamic and active element that adapts to its surroundings. This energy embodies exchange, assimilation, and dissemination. Air moves things around.
Thematically, when the rebellious agent of change, Uranus, enters Gemini we are looking at a period in which matters surrounding communication (computers, wireless transmission, AI, writing, and anything involving both the assimilation and dissemination of information), transportation and commerce (short journeys/local, automobiles, trains, airplanes, bicycles, buses, cabs, highways, passengers, airplanes, shipping, merchandising, shipping, stock exchanges, storehouses, advertising, trade), children, relatives, and siblings (matters of youth, primary and secondary education, learning, pupils, reading, studying, running, restlessness, brothers and sisters, cousins, kindred relatives), local environment (neighborhood, treaties with neighboring nations, counties, neighboring countries, visitors, communities) are all subject a whirlwind of innovative advancements and revolutionary thinking.
Expect a time during which breakthroughs in technology and communications enter a phase of hyper-acceleration. When unique and disruptive developments create upsets that change the way it has been, creating stress and psychological troubles as we struggle to keep up. Change doesn’t have to be disturbing, but the sudden and volatile nature of Uranian change certainly can present that way. When Uranus touches something, it is like a lightning bolt that awakens, inspires, and demands a revolution that leaves those caught in its wake gasping for air.
When Uranus is in Gemini, these innovations in technology are destined to include a mix of breakthroughs in the areas of wireless, magnetic, or kinetic innovations, or even light itself being used in new ways that seem magical or the makings of what we might have considered in the past the handiwork of a wizard. Speaking of which, this is another area that might get electrified, so to speak. Uranus is associated with clairvoyance, psychic phenomena, vibrations, magicians, vortexes, and alternative healers and healing. In other words, the software that lies within our souls might also experience an awakening that leads many to tap into parts of themselves that have yet to be discovered. Increased telepathy and astral travel are both possibilities.
Another area of breakthroughs is in the world of healing. The unconventional may just become the conventional as we grapple with the sad array of illnesses that permeate modern society, specifically in the United States. Drugless healing will become a tempest that stirs things up and creates unrest for those with a vested interest in the bloated world of pharmaceutical solutions. Miracle treatments using things like sound and light, which may seem unusual, will have their moment.
Transportation and commerce have been rapidly evolving and innovating for many years. It is still impressive that we can now use mobile apps to order even the most exotic items and have them delivered to our doorstep within hours or a few days. Companies are already testing drone delivery services, and this trend is expected to grow and become more advanced. Progress in electric cars is likely to continue, and the development of flying cars is also underway. Flying taxis, such as the one by Joby Electric Flying Taxi, are already in operation. The image featured in this blog post was created by AI within seconds, offering a glimpse into what the future may hold. These advancements are likely to challenge the current status quo, but as the planet Uranus boldly demonstrates, change is inevitable.
The presence of Uranus in Gemini has the potential to bring about numerous transformations in our modes of transportation, shopping habits, and trading practices within society. Given Gemini's association with stocks and stock markets, we may also witness additional advancements in this area, possibly introducing disruptive and unique elements.
What about the connection between Gemini and children, youth, relatives, and siblings? Education has been a focal point for quite some time now, and with the technological advancements of the last three decades, primary and secondary education have undergone their own revolution. I anticipate that the upcoming phase of Uranus in Gemini will bring about even more changes as we explore new learning methods that are more flexible and adaptable. This period might also lead to a crisis that triggers divisions within society regarding the extent to which technology should be integrated into our daily lives and whether there should be greater concerns and regulations regarding its impact, especially on children.
Uranus has an archetypal imprint that pushes for a collective and more universal view. Leaning into its humanitarian tilt, the result of its influence while in Gemini will potentially be a push to adopt a more expansively radical view of who are our brothers and sisters, who are our relatives?
Gemini resides in the 3rd house of the natural zodiac, where we establish connections with those in our immediate surroundings, the community, and the local environment. When Uranus influences this area, it disrupts the usual mindset, sparking an awareness of the larger community and fostering a spirit of altruism that advocates for increased cooperation. Uranus challenges boundaries as it moves through Gemini, encouraging a shift towards a broader perspective. Expect to witness the emergence of new waves of activism, movements, and uprisings inspired by this concept, akin to a modern-day Hippie movement... Hippies 2.0
In my posts discussing the powerful astrological influences on present-day events, I consistently advocate for maintaining a positive outlook on life. The current era presents remarkable opportunities for living fully, despite the unprecedented challenges we face. I anticipate that the forthcoming arrival of Uranus in Gemini will mark a revolutionary chapter in history. Let us all embrace this period and seek out communities that will support us on this transformative journey.
The time to air things out has arrived.
