Oh, and by the way, I’ve had almost a dozen DMs in the last few months from worried readers who have read stories suggesting that Neptune’s approaching visit to Aries will usher in a Civil War in the United States.
So, indeed, the Civil War in the United States occurred when Neptune entered Aries the last time. However, keep in mind that in astrological analysis, we look for themes rather than expecting the same occurrences to occur again. Furthermore, we must consider astronomical events as a whole. Yes, Neptune was in the sign of Aries during the American Civil War. However, there was another astronomical aspect at play: the solar eclipse of July 8, 1861. This eclipse was two degrees from the US sun and squared the US Saturn, implying that the country’s identity (the sun) would experience a profound shift (solar eclipse) that would demand challenging the current quo (square) (Saturn).
Besides, I believe the United States is now in the midst of an informational, philosophical, and social “civil war” (consider how many Americans believe President Joseph R. Biden “stole” the 2020 presidential election despite the lack of evidence).
The upcoming Pluto return in the United States’ chart will exacerbate the political division we’ve seen in the country over the last few years (for more information on the Pluto return in the United States’ chart, see the section titled Pluto Return in the United States’ Chart) “The Return of Pluto in the United States: Why It’s Important” section of this post).
Forget about Neptune in Aries; the Pluto return in the United States will bring some very harsh realities to the surface, allowing us to address what has been pushed under the nation’s metaphorical rug.
WHEN: From July 7, 2025, to November 8, 2025, Uranus will be in Gemini. However, its six-and-a-half-year journey through Gemini (considered the actual start of the zodiac) was unbroken “On April 26, 2026, the “Uranus in Gemini era” begins.
Communication, data, print media, speaking, short-distance transit (cars, bicycles, scooters, etc. ), transportation, and writing are all aspects of Gemini (and writing instruments).
- The first invention “Polaroid instant camera (at the time, 60 seconds) Gemini is controlled by Mercury, the planet of speed.
- Microwave invention (very early) “Gemini,” since a microwave enables for extremely fast cooking.)
This new transit, I believe, will significantly accelerate the information network. By the end of Uranus’ transit through Gemini, we’ll be able to look back on Wikipedia in the same manner we do now on Microsoft Encarta (remember?).
Gemini is the sign that oversees social media networks (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok). During the Uranus in Gemini age, expect a new one to arise, one that will make use of technologies we don’t yet have.
During this era, I also predict self-driving (Uranus/technology) automobiles (Gemini/transportation) to become mainstream and at least one mode of transportation to be upended (eg: an increase in high-speed rail systems, a decrease in car ownership).
And, because Pluto will be in Aquarius (another air sign) while Uranus is in Gemini, I foresee substantial technological advancements in the creation of flying cars during this time period. No, as Uranus enters Gemini, we won’t be living like the Jetsons. However, I believe we will hear about an existing or new vehicle firm allocating considerable resources to bringing the first flying car to market during this time period.
Between July 2025 and February 2027, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto will get along swimmingly. That is, Uranus and Pluto will be in a trine (120-degree) aspect to each other, while Neptune will be in a sextile (60-degree) aspect to Uranus. They’ll all be speaking the same language and relying on one another.
They will cause significant worldwide shifts, but they will do so with the precision of a well-rehearsed orchestra (as opposed to, say, an out-of-tune electric guitar). In reality, I believe that during the 20242026 era, a lot of the ugliness that will surface when Pluto completes its transit of Capricorn (and notably in the United States, since this also coincides with the United States’ Pluto return) will begin to be cleaned up.
When outer planets switch signs, there is a period of adjustment that can be lumpy and awkward. However, we’ll be provided with a plethora of fantastic ingredients to work with. It is up to us to make the best use of them.

When was the last time Uranus was in Gemini?
Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, and it is all about you. There’s a reason that the advent of the “selfie” and influencers (like the Kardashians) coincided with Uranus’s last transit through this sign! Uranus was in Aries when you were born, so you’re all about individualism and freedom.
Uranus entered Taurus in 2019, and it is currently transforming and redefining our values and monetary system, which is why Bitcoin and cryptocurrency are currently hot subjects. Taurus is the sign that oversees material prosperity as well as our natural world and environment, and it is a sign that encourages change and advancement for a better future. People born while Uranus is in Taurus have a distinct approach to earning money. They could also be concerned with the environment.
Because Gemini is the sign of communication, Uranus in this chatty air sign can usher in someone who upsets the social order and communication with others. The last time this happened was during World War II, from 1941 to 1949. People born in the 1940s with Uranus in Gemini had a significant role in the radical social movements of the 1960s.
Cancer is the sign that rules tradition, home, and family, and persons born with Uranus in this sign may have “different” viewpoints in these areas. Uranus in Cancer from 1948 to 1956, around the commencement of the baby boom after World War II, caused a shake-up in the idea of what was “normal” in the family unit. Family roles began to be questioned by the end of the 1950s (see 1950s housewife), paving the way for the 1960s and 1970s equality movements.
How often does Uranus switch signs?
If you thought Mercury’s retrograde was awful, wait until you hear what Uranus has to say. (As a side note, when is the word ‘Uranus’ not amusing?) The planet of disobedience has been retrograde since August 19, 2021, and will continue to do so for another five months, until January 18, 2022.
Amy Bird, an Evolutionary Astrologer, believes that “Uranus retrogrades every 7 months or so, and this is a natural part of its cycle. It gives the impression of traveling backwards, returning to the ground it has been covering for the past few months, since April.”
When Uranus travels through the zodiac, how long does it take?
In astrology, a planetary return occurs when a transiting planet returns to its exact location at the time of a person’s birth. This indicates that the planet is beginning a new cycle in the life of a person. Astrologers would remark that a person’s birthday is technically their’solar return,’ because it marks the day that the sun returns to the same place in the zodiac as on their original birthday. The outer planets Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus have the most significant returns. Half-returns (when a planet reaches the halfway point in its voyage) are extremely significant, particularly in the case of Uranus, because many people will not live long enough to witness or benefit from its full return of 84 years.
Jupiter returns every twelve years or so, signaling the beginning of a new period of life’s growth and evolution. The first Jupiter return, around the age of twelve, is concerned with the transition into adolescence and puberty, whereas the second return, at the age of 24, is concerned with the first genuine steps into adulthood. The year of a Jupiter return is usually a prosperous one, with prizes and grants being given out. In this year, several writers get published for the first time, while athletes achieve their first significant goals. Foreign travel and further education are frequently recommended. The Jupiter return is an excellent moment to take risks and assert yourself, since your efforts will typically be rewarded.
Saturn reappears every thirty years or so, and they signal a stage in the aging process when new realities and obligations must be confronted. The first Saturn return happens at the age of thirty and is associated with the first true sense of responsibility. Many people will make a significant commitment at this time, such as marrying, starting a family, or purchasing a property. It’s also a period when many people evaluate failing relationships and decide it’s time to end them. In terms of work, many people will reevaluate their careers and question their progress thus far. This is a fantastic moment to retrain and change careers, even if it means a lower wage for a period.
The second return happens at the age of fifty-nine and concerns the time when people rethink their future plans. Many people are thinking about retiring from full-time job and pursuing hobbies and interests that have been neglected due to work and children. It is also many people’s first encounter with the reality of approaching old age. It is critical to maintain a positive, realistic attitude at this time and not merely consider oneself to be ‘on the scrapheap,’ as most people still have many excellent years ahead of them. The Saturn return is generally a stressful and challenging time, but if smart decisions and changes are made and followed through with, they usually work out well in the long run.
Uranus takes around 84 years to return to its original position. However, when it reaches the halfway point in its trip, around the age of 42, one of its most significant affects is felt. The Uranus half-return is thought to be the cause of many people’s’mid-life crisis.’ Women, particularly those with children who are growing up and leaving home, may feel as if life has slipped away from them. At this time, many women enter the pre-menopause stage, while many males experience the’male menopause.’ Casual flirtations and affairs can cause permanent and successful long-term relationships to be disturbed or disrupted. The half-return of Uranus can be difficult and tense, yet it can also be energizing. It is the ideal moment for people to break free from their long-held routines and pursue new hobbies.
If the person is reasonably well and fit, the full Uranus return occurs around the age of 84, and it might signal a new and active interest in life. Many creative artists, for example, have created significant works after the age of 84; Verdi composed his opera Falstaff, while Picasso painted many of his best paintings in his latter years.
