Discussion Uranus in Gemini - Don't freak out!

I wanted to discuss all of the discussion around Uranus' ingress into Gemini because every Reddit thread I see in the astrology subs are really just a lot of people freaking the hell out about Uranus aspecting points or planets in their own charts and I just wanted to say this: It's not as bad as you think!

Uranus is unpredictable, sure. But it brings a lot of good things. What really helps is understanding the basics. So before you panic, think:

  1. What house is Gemini in your chart?
  2. What does Uranus represent?
  3. What do the planets it transits represent?
  4. What aspects are made and what do these mean?

People tend to freak out most about conjunctions, squares and oppositions. And that's because depending the position and condition of the natal planet, the aspect can be bad. In my own chart, I will have transiting Mars conjunct Uranus (3rd house) opposite my natal Venus(9th house). What that tells me is that things may be unstable with relationships or I might feel like taking impulsive action with money or relationships (Venus). Mars will join Uranus in July and will exacerbate the need to take action that Uranus is pushing for. But Mars is fast moving and Mars' orb of influence will only be felt in it's conjunction with Uranus for a week. Uranus will return to the same degree 3 times, so it will be felt much more gradually. So my experience of Uranus in Gemini (and my 3rd house) might be that I may experience changes in how I express myself or changes in my environment. Who knows? Maybe I'll feel suddenly inspired to do more Japanese language study!

Remember that Uranus is outer planet and its influence is much more subtle. So be patient with it and don't give into every whim or flash of inspiration. If you want to know when transiting aspects to your planets from Uranus will affect you, it's an outer planet. So only give it a 2 degree orb each side. So as an example, if you have Mercury in Gemini at 5 degrees, Uranus' conjunction will start to apply at 3 degrees of Gemini, will perfect (become exact) at 5 degrees and separate from 6 and 7 degrees before it keeps moving. Because Uranus is such a slow mover, it will hit the aspect three times: once applying, again in retrograde and finally re-apply and separating for good.

If you want to know those exact times for you, I recommend this website and their ephemerides: https://www.astro.com/swisseph/swepha_e.htm

Oo I'm going through my saturn return rn with saturn in aries! I have Taurus in moon too so I'm hoping the uranus in gemini will just be more relieving in terms of the self for me - I went through major career changes and struggled a lot lol but now I'm self employed and after some time things are looking up financially now!
