Past, 150.9 days
Uranus retrograde, September 2025
Uranus stations retrograde on Saturday 6 September 2025, 04:51 UTC at 1°28′ Gemini and turns direct on Wednesday 4 February 2026, 02:33 UTC at 27°28′ Taurus, having slipped back from Gemini into Taurus. The shadow period runs from 20 May 2025 to 21 May 2026.
Uranus stations retrograde on 6 September 2025 at 1°28' Gemini, early in the sign, and then appears to back into Taurus. It turns direct on 4 February 2026 at 27°28' Taurus, after 150.9 days of retrograde motion. As with any slow outer planet, the shadow periods are wide: the pre-retrograde shadow opens on 20 May 2025 and the post-retrograde shadow closes on 21 May 2026.
Astrologers associate Uranus with change, surprise and independence. The tradition reads Gemini as the sign of communication, curiosity and movement, and Taurus as the sign of resources, the body and steady habits. A retrograde from one into the other is treated as a time to revisit changes that began recently and see how they sit with everyday practicalities. A modest suggestion: test one new routine for a few weeks before deciding whether to keep it.
