The Outer Planets: Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto

Uranus in Gemini

In this week’s podcast episode Arwynne and I chat about Uranus in Gemini. Listen to our Uranus in Gemini podcast here.

Uranus Ingress Chart

Gemini

An ingress chart is when a planet enters a new sign or house. In this case, Uranus is entering Gemini. If you cast the ingress chart for a planet’s ingress into a new sign, it shows the nature of what will be occurring whilst Uranus is in Gemini. It’s like the birth chart for the period that Uranus will be in Gemini. In our example, Uranus is in Gemini.

Retrograde

Uranus will enter Gemini on July 7th, 2025. It will then station retrograde and go back into. Taurus on November the 8th, 2025. Next, it will then station retrograde and re-enter Gemini on the 26th of April 2026 to remain until 2032.

Which Ingress Chart?

1st Ingress Chart

July 7th, 2025 is the day of the first ingress of Uranus into Gemini for over 80 years. Personally, I would interpret the first ingress chart as a general theme for the main expression of Uranian qualities. But technically the first ingress chart will only be in play until next April when Uranus makes the final move into Gemini.

2nd Ingress Chart

April 26th, 2026, is the day of the second ingress of Uranus into Gemini for this sign change period. Technically, the second ingress chart in April 2026 will also give some indication of how Uranus will be whilst it passes through Gemini. I like to do a bit of a combination of both, although I do prefer the initial ingress chart which shows the first potential that Uranus has when it enters Gemini.

Research

As an aspiring astrologer, it’s a good thing to do your own research. When the outer planets make these big sign shifts is the time where you could actually do your own personal research. You would cast the chart for the first ingress and then cast the chart for the second ingress and see how the potentials hard baked into both charts show up over the period for which they are indicated.

Ingress Chart Period

To do this research properly you would use the first ingress chart for the next nine months until Uranus moves back into Gemini for the second time in April. Then technically from that point on, you would use the second ingress chart to indicate the nature of Uranus’ passage through the bulk of Gemini.

Time

It really is up to you. Really, how much time do you have to spend interpreting forecasting materials?

Personally, I don’t think there’s a hard and fast rule on this. I do like the initial ingress chart because that is the very first time in living memory, well my memory anyway, that I will experience Uranus in the sign of the Twins, so I like to use the first chart myself.

However, if you have a great interest in Uranus or in Gemini, it makes sense for you to do some further research by using both of these two charts. You could share your information with us a few years down the line when you have decided which one of the two ingress charts more closely reflected what actually unfolded whilst Uranus was in Gemini.

First Ingress Chart

Zero Aries

I’ve set the ingress chart on the zero Aries house system. This means that Aries is on the Ascendant and every house is 30° long.

Aspects Neutral

Uranus is conjoined Venus

Venus is conjoined Uranus in the ingress chart.

Aspect Hard

Uranus is opposition the Moon

The fast-moving Moon is in Sagittarius.

Uranus is semi-square Sun

The Sun recently passed the summer solstice (June21st) and is in Cancer.

Aspects Soft

Uranus Trine Pluto

Interestingly, Uranus has moved further ahead of Pluto and is now at the trine aspect. This synodic cycle is sourced way back in the 1960s at the conjunction between Uranus and Pluto. If you recall, we all experienced the seven-hit square between Uranus and Pluto around 2012. Now as Uranus has moved into a soft air trine with Pluto, things should ease up for people who were born in the 1960s and have the conjunction in their natal charts.

Uranus sextiles Saturn and Neptune

Note that both Saturn and Neptune are conjoined in Aries.

Outer Soft Aspects

These three soft aspects are very interesting because they will be in orb for quite a long period during the summer of 2025. They will pop up in your main transit information for June, July and August as background energies.

Cosmic Force

As astrologers, we do pay attention to outer planet sign changes. When Uranus, Neptune and Pluto change signs as all three have done recently, it shifts the backdrop, or background noise, to all our astrology work. The Uranus ingress into Gemini is no exception. During 2025 and 2026, we’re going to be paying a lot more attention to what unfolds as “The Awakener” moves through the sign of the Twins.

Uranus in the Signs

Author: Alison Price – Published: December 2024

Uranus in the Signs

This week I’m once more turning my attention to a planet that I really like and that is Uranus and specifically Uranus in the signs. Uranus rules astrology and as such is always a pleasure. Huh? Well maybe not a pleasure but certainly a planet of interest to astrologers. Let’s take a look.

Themes

When prominent in a birth chart by position or conjunction to the Sun, Moon or chart ruler, Uranus can indicate someone who is unconventional, eccentric and eager to challenge the status quo. Uranian energy is inventive, progressive and always looking new ways of doing things. However, the energy can also manifest as seemingly erratic, impulsive and be resistant to tradition.

I say seemingly as its clear to the person doing the thing, but not to the onlookers. Uranus is the planet of innovation, disruption and sudden change. It represents, among other things, the drive for individuality, freedom and progress. Uranus embodies the drive for freedom, progress and radical transformation on both the personal and the collective level. Its energies can bring excitement, but also disruption and unpredictability into your life.

Generational

Uranus has a long 84-year orbit which means it spends about seven to eight years in each sign. This timeframe strongly shapes the collective consciousness during that time. When Uranus changes signs, it can bring sweeping societal changes, technological advancements and a general spirit of revolution and reform for all and sundry.

Complex

In your natal chart, your Uranus complex shows where you crave independence, novelty and a departure from the ordinary. People with a strong Uranian influence often have an innovative mindset and a futuristic perspective that sets them apart.

Strong

Uranus is strong when it is:

The chart ruler
A focal planet in a major aspect pattern
In a Gauquelin sector
A cutting or handle planet in a chart shape
The most elevated planet
In the 1st, 11th or 10th houses
Conjoined, parallel or in antiscia with the Ascendant, the Sun, the Moon, the chart ruler or the Part of Fortune
The morning planet
Direct

Uranus in the Houses

Author: Alison Price – Published: December 2024

Uranus in the Houses

I’d like to share with you some of my thoughts on Uranus in the houses and additionally as it relates to astrologers and astrology.

Astrologer’s Charts

Uranus is the modern ruler of astrology and just to be clear Mercury is the traditional ruler of astrology. In its role of presiding over astrology, Uranus can be significant in astrologer’s charts. If you are a hobbyist, amateur, student, professional or master astrologer already, the placement of Uranus in your chart can show the type of astrology you are likely to be. These greater details are likely to come through your full Uranus complex, which considers the sign, house, aspects, position and direction. So assessing Uranus for its themes around astrologers and astrology, it makes more sense to look at the planet in this way in your chart, as an astrology enthusiast reading this, rather than looking in your client’s birth charts unless they too are astrologers.

Basic Natal Astrology

This time I just like to share some of my thoughts with you about Uranus through the houses. The twelve houses are part of basic natal astrology and are considered first year astrology learning along with signs, planets and aspects. Let’s have a closer look at Uranus in each of the twelve astrological houses.

Uranus in the 9th House

Everyone

Uranus in the house of higher learning and philosophy creates original thinkers who challenge established belief systems. These people often have unconventional spiritual beliefs or educational paths. They might travel suddenly or live abroad unexpectedly. They’re natural teachers who bring fresh perspectives to traditional knowledge.

Astrologers

In an astrologer’s chart, Uranus in the 9th house implies an astrologer with many interests. They are likely to be a high-level astrology teacher. The Uranus 9th house practitioner will explore all the realms of astrology throughout their life such as Vedic, Uranian and Evolutionary. Astrologers with this placement will probably publish their findings through a blog. podcast or by writing a book. This type of astrologer will doubtless have other New Age related topics like numerology or palmistry skills which they can lean into in their astrology practice.

Venus Conjoined Uranus

This is a Guest Post from Arwynne O’Neill, research astrologer and the co-host of the Starzology Astrology podcast.

Venus Conjoined Uranus

Uranus transits to natal Venus

In his book Planets in Transit, Robert Hand describes the transit of Uranus conjunct Venus as potentially spectacular. He says you are likely to seek freedom and excitement through relationships at this time, especially sexual relationships. You may decide to break away from an old, steady partner to seek out a new and exciting affair.

Of course this can be very disruptive, but if you’re not in a steady relationship, this may be a time where you meet someone who sweeps you off your feet or vice versa. You could find yourself in an affair that’s different from anything you’ve experienced before. It may not last but it would certainly have a lasting effect even after the transit is over.

Venus also rules creativity so if you are an artist or involved in anything creative this can be an amazing transit and you can use it to integrate new techniques into your repertoire and make exciting breakthroughs in any creative pursuit.

Uranus conjunct Venus in the Birth Chart

Venus conjunct Uranus in the natal chart influences the personality by fusing the love and attraction nature with electricity, excitement, innovation, restlessness. This is probably not someone who will be content to settle down with their first love and never explore the other possibilities, and the same can be said of their financial outlook.

Depending on how well Venus is placed in their chart, they can be a fun and original partner who is always bringing excitement and playfulness into your life, or conversely, they may be the type who’s always on the lookout for the next exciting infatuation, next big investment or the next con. This can be good or bad, of course, depending on how it’s handled, and how well the people around them deal with change, and it also depends a great deal on the sign the two planets are in. This is definitely the “love at first sight” aspect. Sparks will fly.

Love and Finances

These people tend to go with their gut feelings in matters love and finances, for better or worse. They’re adaptable and original but can also be fickle. The most important thing to them in a relationship is having the freedom to be themselves and to change and evolve. If you’re in a relationship with someone with this aspect, and not allowing them to change or evolve, don’t expect it to last.

Often, these people are attracted to others with the same aspect or similar and that can create an exciting partnership where shared adventures and mutual evolution are the keys to lasting happiness together.

In her book Aspects and Personality, Karen Hamaker-Zondag says, “Venus represents the need for harmony and warmth, teaming up with Uranus, the need for individuality, freedom and a life of our own can make us bold, eccentric or reformist. Being highly-strung and having an overpowering desire for personal freedom, we can experience difficulty forming firm friendships, which make us nervous, tense and insecure because we are also trying to stay unfettered.” But she says relationships can work as long as we don’t feel hemmed in by conventional rules, have scope for development and above all are living with a partner who is unconventionally stimulating.

Creative Brilliance

This aspect is highly correlated with creative brilliance, and they tend to have a finger on the pulse of the zeitgeist, whatever field they choose to express their creativity in. Fashion, home decor, film and music are natural outlets for their specific brand of creative genius.

Since Venus has to do with money, these people can have great peaks and valleys in their financial life, experiencing the depths of ruin and the heights of economic windfalls and success through innovation and creativity.

Celebrities with Venus conjunct Uranus

Elizabeth Taylor (in Aries)
Rose McGowan (in Libra)
Warren Beatty (in Taurus)
Christina Aguilera (in Scorpio)
Miley Cyrus (in Capricorn)
Johnny Cash (in Aries)
