Uranus has joined an extraordinary celestial parade as the fourth slow-moving planet to enter a new sign this year, following Neptune, Saturn and Jupiter, completing a rare astrological phenomenon that astrologers call a "great shift."
These outer planets move slowly—some take up to fourteen years to orbit. That all four change signs within four months? Astronomically rare.
We're witnessing a cosmic shift; the energy that’s shaped our world for years is being rewired. When the slowest, most powerful planets move together, it’s not just change—it’s a full reset.
This isn't your typical "Mercury retrograde" disruption. It's a recalibration, as old systems, outdated structures and worn-out ways of being give way to something entirely new. The question isn't whether transformation is coming—it's already here. How will we choose to work with these unprecedented energies as they reshape everything around us?
Uranus just moved into Gemini, bringing fresh energy and new possibilities. But July throws a curveball—three major planets go retrograde, creating cosmic gridlock.
Mercury, Neptune and Saturn all hit reverse this month. You'll feel stuck one minute, then jolted forward the next. It's not your usual retrograde slowdown; this is different.
These backward-moving planets team up with Uranus's electric energy, making July all about major course corrections. Expect the unexpected, especially when things appear to stall.
NEPTUNE & SATURN IN ARIES RETROGRADE: JULY 5 & JULY 13Both Neptune and Saturn station retrograde for the first time since entering Aries—Neptune on July 5 and Saturn on July 13. Neptune brings confusion and illusion. Things may not be what they seem. Saturn adds delays, obstacles and hard reality checks.
Together, these retrogrades can create severe decision paralysis. Clarity is hard to find and nothing moves smoothly.
The best move? Step back. Watch what unfolds instead of forcing anything forward. Big decisions can wait; you'll see things differently later.
MERCURY IN LEO RETROGRADE: JULY 18
Mercury stations retrograde on July 18 in bold, stubborn Leo. This isn't uncharted territory, but it brings a clash between curiosity and resistance. You may want to explore new options, but you'll likely encounter roadblocks and delays, especially since Saturn is turning retrograde just five days earlier.
Progress will likely stall and even your best-laid plans may need to be revised. Mercury retrograde is ideal for finishing projects and tying up loose ends. Focus on completing what you've already started rather than launching something new.
URANUS IN GEMINI: THE GREAT AWAKENER
July 7–Nov 7, 2025 | April 26, 2026–May 22, 2033
Uranus, the Great Disruptor, reminds us the only constant is change—and now it’s on the move. After seven years in steady Taurus, Uranus enters quicksilver Gemini July 7–Nov 7, returning April 2026–May 2033—and everything changes.
Taurus slowed Uranus's progress, but Gemini, a mutable air sign, thrives on adaptability and improvisation. Now, Uranus can fully activate, breaking down outdated systems and sparking major shifts. Change accelerates, demanding flexibility as old structures collapse.
The shadow side? Greater chaos and instability. Borders will shift, populations will migrate and society will struggle to keep up with rapid transformations. Our very way of life is likely to be redefined.
This shift is especially significant for the United States. The nation was born with Uranus in the sign of Gemini. As America approaches its Uranus return in 2027, freedom of speech will be a pivotal issue, already under siege.
Historically, Uranus in Gemini has coincided with major upheaval:
American Revolutionary War (1774–1782)
U.S. Civil War (1861–1865)
World War II (1941–1945)
This transit signals a period of societal reinvention. How we communicate, move and organize as communities and nations will rapidly evolve.
Expect innovations in AI, science, travel, space travel and transportation. Truth and lies will both spread faster than ever. The status quo won't hold.
The next seven years will require flexibility, curiosity and the courage to adapt and pivot. Uranus breaks us free from what holds us back, disrupting old patterns and awakening us to exciting new possibilities. Fitting in is irrelevant now. It's about living your freedom, unapologetically.
The revolution is here. Will you rise with it?
