Infamous 'Uranus in retrograde' will turn the lives of three zodiac signs upside-down

Horoscope fans beware, a major shift in a distant planet's orbit could throw several astrological signs into chaos for months to come.

On September 6, Uranus went into retrograde and will stay that way until February 3, 2026, meaning it will appear to move backwards in the sky from Earth's perspective.

While that change may not seem significant to stargazers, those who follow astrology believe the positions and movements of the planets and stars influence their personalities and events here on Earth.

Uranus represents freedom, rebellion, innovation, and unexpected shifts, and when it's in retrograde, this movement can bring challenges like the sudden urge to question yourself, arguments in relationships, and even issues with digital devices.

For Gemini, Scorpio, and Aquarius, astrologists have said these signs are most affected by Uranus' energy as it passes through the star constellation of Gemini until November 7.

For Geminis, Uranus in retrograde may cause them to rethink old habits, potentially leading to creative breakthroughs, but also bringing mental chaos.

Meanwhile, Scorpios will see their relationships and finances affected, pushing them to find new ways to connect with others or manage money, which can actually help this sign thrive during this time.

Since Uranus is the planetary ruler of Aquarius, this sign will feel a personal shift, focusing on creativity and fun, encouraging them to stop thinking of others and prioritize their own happiness.

Simply put, Uranus in retrograde can stir things up, making people feel unsettled or forced to face uncomfortable truths.

For some zodiac signs, this energy hits harder because it affects specific areas of their lives, like relationships, creativity, or personal growth - which are known as the various 'houses' of astrological signs.

Each zodiac sign (like Gemini, Scorpio, and Aquarius) is tied to certain planets that shape its characteristics. For example, Uranus rules Aquarius, so Aquarians often feel its energy strongly.

When a planet like Uranus moves through certain constellations from our perspective here on Earth, like Gemini in this case, it affects everyone but has a bigger impact on signs that connect closely with its energy or the sign it's in.

While Gemini, Scorpio, and Aquarius will feel the impact the strongest, other signs aren't completely off the hook.

According to Astrology.com, Uranus in retrograde affects everyone by encouraging reflection on freedom and change.

For signs such as Aries, Taurus, and Cancer, the effects might be subtler, such as feeling a quiet urge to try new things, question routines, or adapt to small disruptions in daily life, like a delayed trip or a new perspective on a problem.

Psychic astrologer Jimmy M told the New York Post: 'When Uranus is retrograde in Gemini, all signs will take time to go inward with their thoughts, open their mind, expand their consciousness, reflect on their relationship with technology, the Internet, their local community, and travel, and strive to be their most authentic version.'

While Uranus is in retrograde in the sign of Gemini, its astrological effects are focused on those characteristics closely tied to Geminis, including communication, technology, and social connections.

In November 2025, Uranus will move back into the sign of Taurus, shifting its influence to matters of money, comfort, and stability.

While Uranus travels through Taurus for the remainder of its retrograde, it could make people rethink their spending habits, question what makes them feel secure, or push them to change routines around the home or tied to their prized possessions.

Although Uranus being in retrograde can have a major impact on how certain people think about their lives, it's not as well-known as its infamous companion: Mercury in retrograde.

Mercury retrograde occurs three to four times a year and lasts for about three weeks each time.

It's one of the most discussed astrological phenomena, even among people who don't follow their astrological signs.

Mercury retrograde has been widely blamed for communication breakdowns, technology glitches, and travel delays, making it a popular topic in horoscope discussions, mainstream media, and even pop culture.

The next time Mercury will be in retrograde will be from November 9 to November 29, traveling through the constellations of Sagittarius and Scorpio.
