Uranus Retrograde in Gemini: Ideas, Egos, and Episodes of Scandal
On September 6, 2025 at 12:51 AM EST, Uranus stations retrograde in Gemini, and will stay in reverse mode until January 31, 2026. If Uranus in Gemini wasn’t already loud enough, the retrograde adds a remix: it’s still revolutionizing how we think, speak, and connect, but now with a stronger dose of reflection, reevaluation, and—let’s be real—re-checks of whether what we’re hearing is actually true.
If you missed my breakdown of Uranus in Gemini overall, you might want to circle back and read that first. But for now, let’s get into what this retrograde energy really means.
Collective Themes to Watch
1. Ideas Under Review
Think back to the last three months. What ideas, pitches, or conversations kept circling your orbit? Retrograde energy is asking: were they meaningful or were they just noise? This is the cosmic audit where fluff gets exposed and the solid concepts shine through.
2. Misinformation Mania
A woman on Threads recently said that life has felt like a Scandal episode since 2016 and I can’t unsee it now. The energy of this retrograde may sometimes feel like that but 10x it. A lot of misinformation will spread, especially within the news and media.
3. Ego vs. Higher Self
Notice how people are speaking. Are they motivated by fear and pride, or are they tapping into their wiser, grounded selves? Retrograde is a mirror that reveals when words come from insecurity rather than clarity.
4. Progress and Chaos, Hand in Hand
Gemini thrives in duality. Uranus thrives in upheaval. Put them together in retrograde and you’ve got progress and chaos co-existing—sometimes in the same conversation, sometimes in the same thought.
5. Information vs. Integration
This retrograde is not just about hearing more. It’s about filtering wisely. Do your research. Flip the perspective. Play devil’s advocate with yourself before deciding what you believe.
What This Means for You Personally
Uranus retrograde in Gemini isn’t just abstract—it hits close to home in your mental world.
Your mind may feel like it’s on overdrive. Channel it: write the book, build the course, restart that blog. This is energy that wants to create.
Relocation itch? Don’t be surprised if it intensifies. Uranus in Gemini (lasting until 2033) keeps whispering about new horizons and new communities.
Triggers surface. It may feel like your quirks, your originality, or your authenticity are under attack. Before you clap back, pause. Look at both sides. Sometimes the tension is just pushing you to get clearer about who you are.
Revolution, Both Macro and Micro
Uranus is the planet of rebellion and collective awakening. During this retrograde:
On the global stage: Radical actions are rising. People are no longer tolerating unsustainable systems, and movements are forming where voices join forces. (Thanks to Uranus trine Pluto, power is visibly shifting back to the people.)
In your local world: Think smaller but no less important. Communities are less afraid to stand out, speak up, and let their quirks breathe. Weird is the new normal, and authenticity is contagious.
The Tech Factor
I think this retrograde will also highlight the downsides or limitations to technology and AI. While it is a great tool, I’m seeing more and more people recognize the negative affects of it on our physical planet as well as our psyches. More people are craving the heat of the sun and the crunch of grass between their toes vs the quick dopamine hits we get from scrolling or mass consuming content on social media.
Rising Sign Breakdown
Here’s how Uranus retrograde in Gemini may show up for each rising sign.

This lands in your second house of money and values. You may feel pushed to rethink your relationship with finances, possessions, or what you consider truly valuable. Misinformation about money could be loud—trust your own research.

With Uranus retrograde in your first house, it’s personal. Your identity and how you show up in the world may feel unstable, but that’s because change is calling. You’re being challenged to step further into your authenticity.

This falls in your twelfth house, stirring up your subconscious and spiritual practices. Dreams may be extra active. You might notice patterns of self-sabotage you’re ready to release. Rest and reflection are key.

Your eleventh house of community and networks is in the spotlight. Retrograde energy may stir up shifts in friendships, groups, or your role in collective movements. You may also revisit ideas for projects that involve the public.
Virgo Rising
Your tenth house of career and public life is under Uranus’ microscope. Expect unpredictable changes at work or a shift in how you’re perceived publicly. This is a chance to innovate how you show up in your career.
Libra Rising
This lights up your ninth house of travel, philosophy, and higher learning. You may revisit studies or beliefs that once inspired you. Calls to relocate or expand your horizons could feel especially strong now.

Uranus retrograde moves through your seventh house of partnerships. Expect shifts in how you relate to others. This could highlight authenticity issues in relationships or call you to re-examine how you show up with your commitments.
Capricorn Rising
This retrograde shakes your sixth house of work and wellness. Old routines may no longer fit. Watch for tech issues at work, and consider rethinking how you balance productivity with your health.

Your fifth house of creativity, romance, and joy is lit up. Retrograde energy here could revive old projects, past flings, or creative pursuits you once shelved. This is about redefining fun on your own terms.

This stirs your fourth house of home, family, and roots. You may feel restless at home or pulled to rethink where and how you live. Family dynamics may also go through a shake-up.
Final Thoughts
Uranus retrograde in Gemini isn’t subtle. It’s here to shake up your thinking, question your sources, and push you to reconnect with what feels true—not just what’s trending. Progress is happening, but it comes with growing pains. Your job? Keep your mind sharp, your ego in check, and your heart open to the fact that change—chaotic as it feels—ultimately serves evolution.
