What does this mean?
On September 10, 2026 at 20:27 (CEST), Uranus turns retrograde. Seen from Earth, the planet seems to pause in the sky and then drift backwards for a while. In astrology this begins a time for second thoughts. Words that start with "re" suit it better than a big fresh launch: revisit, revise, reconnect.
What does Uranus mean?
Uranus brings the break: freedom, awakening, sudden turns. Where it hits, nothing gets smoothed over. An old structure tips, and your head is suddenly clear. Uranus shows where you're original, rebellious and unconventional. It also marks where the next revolution in your life starts, maybe the day you drop the plan everyone expected.
What does a retrograde station mean?
Retrograde station: seen from Earth, the planet seems to stop and then move backwards. It only looks that way, because Earth is overtaking it. A good time for everything that starts with re: rethink, revise, redo.
What does Gemini mean?
Gemini links things and keeps asking. Curiosity, two voices at once, quick routes between ideas: the neighbor, a quote you overheard, the link that explains it all. Where Gemini is active, people talk, read and write, and hop between viewpoints.
Uranus Retrograde
Uranus, the planet of sudden change, turns retrograde in Gemini. Until it goes direct, new ideas need checking: correct them, clarify them, reopen old ones before you decide.

Uranus Retrograde 2026 by the numbers
On September 10, 2026 Uranus seems to halt at 5°41' Gemini. After that it appears to move backwards through the zodiac. A station just means that from Earth the planet seems to stop for a few days, then turn. It never truly reverses, much like the train beside yours at the platform that only seems to roll back.

Your free birth chart tells you which house Gemini occupies in your chart, and the house hints at the area of life this phase may stir up for you. The Gemini sign profile has more on the sign itself, and retrograde planets lists every phase of every planet.
How to read the data
- Degree: this is where the apparent backward motion starts. The planet passes over this stretch of the zodiac three times: once before the retrograde, once during it and once after.
- Duration: counted from one station to the next, from the first standstill to the turnaround.
- A small test: on September 10, write down which conversation or plan you are taking up a second time, maybe the email you already started once. When the phase ends, look again at what became of it.
How often does Uranus go retrograde?
Uranus goes retrograde about once a year. Each phase runs 152 days on average, ranging from 149 days to 154 days. Put together, Uranus spends 41.2 % of all days retrograde.
Uranus keeps moving forward the whole time. Earth, on the faster inside track, simply passes it, the way a truck you overtake on the highway seems to roll backwards for a moment. The farther out a planet orbits, the longer that passing takes.
Between 1900 and 2100, 7 % of all retrograde phases started in Gemini. That puts it at number 7 of the 12 signs.
