2025 has felt like a game of musical chairs, with the outer planets briefly shifting into new signs and giving us glimpses of what’s to come. Uranus in Gemini has already teased us with its brilliance since July. But on 6 September, it hit the brakes, spinning backwards into retrograde. The universe is asking you to sit with the static and any missed pivots, as Gemini is all about movement and wandering at the crossroads.

By 8 November, Uranus slips back into Taurus for one last encore, dragging us into the terrain of money, security, and the body. If Gemini is flying creative ideas at light speed, Taurus is gravity. It makes you feel the weight of what’s real. Expect sudden shocks around information and technology to drop back into material stakes: food systems, resources, the ground beneath your feet.

Then, on 4 February, Uranus turns direct. The forward momentum builds, like thunder rumbling before a storm, and by 26 April Uranus fully re-enters Gemini. This is when the future arrives for good. No more testing the waters, no more dipping in and out. The revolution of thought, language, media, and connection is here to stay.

Speaking your wants out loud

To name what you want openly, without any need to disguise what you truly mean, is an act of courage. It strips away the armour of “I’m fine” and “I don’t need much”, and instead declares that your longings are real, valid, and alive. Carrying your wants openly doesn’t make you needy. Because how can the world control someone who already knows what they desire in its full depth?

Setting a new cultural trend

A zeitgeist doesn’t emerge from think tanks or boardrooms — it’s born when one person decides to live so radically in their truth that it becomes contagious. Whether it’s starting a new conversation on TikTok, by chance or intentionally, it is more than possible. Starting a new zeitgeist means refusing to inherit the stale scripts handed down by institutions, and instead drafting new ones from your own imagination.

Being more honest with your communication

Honesty in communication means refusing to edit yourself down to what feels palatable. It means speaking in your full range, even when your words are messy, inconvenient, or disruptive to the harmony others cling to. Under this transit, clarity is a gift both to yourself and to those listening. When you stop rehearsing conversations in your head and start saying what you actually mean, your language becomes medicine.
