Has everyone noticed that we’re in tumultuous times? Astrology can always explain why, and the culprit at this time is Uranus. On July 7th, Uranus entered the sign of Gemini and will remain there until May 2033. Uranus has an 84-year orbit and is eccentric in a variety of ways. It’s unique because it’s the only planet that is tilted on its side as it rotates. In addition, Uranus rotates in the opposite direction (clockwise) to the other planets, who rotate counterclockwise. It’s no wonder that he is considered the rebel of the Zodiac.
Uranus is associated with the sign Aquarius and ushers in sudden change, innovation and rebellion to break old patterns. Its energy is erratic, electric, unpredictable and yes, revolutionary. This is the planet that challenges the status quo to create a new future.
Freedom of speech is the theme.
Gemini will be the personality of Uranus for the next eight years. Gemini is the best communicator of all the signs of the Zodiac. Associated with smart Mercury, it is the sign of curiosity, intellect and adaptability. Gemini can also be restless and a bit nervous.
Before we look forward to what lies ahead of us, let’s first look at the past. What happened the last few times Uranus entered Gemini?
