Fasten your seatbelt and brace for whiplash. Radical Uranus pivots out of a five-month retrograde on February 3. Until April 25, it charges forward in steady Taurus, its final lap in the stubborn earth sign—ending a seven-year cycle not to be repeated for another 84 years! Here’s your horoscope for when Uranus retrograde is over.

Uranus direct in Taurus: February 3 to April 25, 2026

Uranus in Taurus’s 2018-2026 Resume

So long, farewell! We are almost ready to bid adieu to a tough and protracted cycle of Uranus in Taurus—and TBH, we are not sorry to see this wind down. Since May 2018, the cosmic chaos-agent has been busy destabilizing all the Taurus-ruled areas of life, from labor to natural resources to our general sense of comfort and security. Collectively, we are all quite ungrounded from this seven-year passage, which covered everything from the global Covid-19 pandemic to the January 6 insurrection to the switch to remote work and economic highs and lows. (To crypto or not to crypto?)

Uranus was last in Taurus from 1934-42. That was the peak of the Great Depression, World War II, the Dust Bowl and other truly unmooring moments in history. Uranus is “in fall” in Taurus, which is its least favorite place to be in the zodiac.

Heave a sigh of relief. On April 25, we close the books on this once-every-84-years chapter when the cosmic disruptor ends its seven-year journey in Taurus and begins a fresh one in Gemini until 2033.

What to expect when Uranus retrograde is over

ICE, AI—With Uranus direct, can we see the light? As Uranus pivots into direct motion on February 3, we may start to see some light at the end of the tunnel. Since September 6, 2025, Uranus’ rebellious backspin may have rattled your sense of security, particularly around money, home or stability. This is certainly true for many of the (legal!) immigrants in the United States who are under attack by ICE and federal forces—or for the workers who have been “replaced” by AI.

As Uranus corrects course, we can expect a burst of erratic energy for a few days while the planet “stations” or shifts from reverse back into drive. Sidestep the chaos, if you can, so you don’t take the bait of anyone else’s drama!

Progress becomes possible when Uranus retrograde is over. Tired of spinning your wheels? Good news! When shock-jock Uranus wakes up from its annual nap on February 3, it jolts us all into action. While the planet of chaos and innovation was retrograde in Taurus for five months, it was harder to move the needle on efforts. That all changes when the planet of rebellion corrects course in this industrious earth sign. Uranus will be in direct motion in Taurus for about three months, giving us full access to its innovative, future-forward energy until April 25.

Opportunities to improve your economic status crop up everywhere when the planetary innovator makes a U-Turn in money-minded Taurus. Don’t get stuck on projects that aren’t clicking into place, though. Uranus loves change! Opportunities to up-level your finances could surface anywhere, from the coffee line to the school pickup line. No matter what you do for a living, keep your mind open to boundary-pushing and edgy possibilities. Pursuing one of them could lead to quite the bounty in the days and weeks ahead.

Disruption eruption. Life can suddenly speed up when Uranus corrects course, causing a few chaotic days in its wake. How can you offset this? Try to avoid any public scenes where people act erratically, so you’re less likely to gobble up any bait! On the plus side: We’re THISCLOSE to the end of Uranus’ epic 7-year journey through Taurus, therefore we have a more clear-eyed view of its impact on the world, and on us.

Embrace uncertainty. This has become part of the lesson of Uranus in Taurus, but any exciting changes on the horizon deserve a thoughtful plan. When Uranus retrograde is over, unplug when you can: reduce screen time, craft, cook, do a gentle fitness class to keep yourself rooted.

Uranus direct: 2 months left to unlock the paradox

Since May 2018, Uranus has pushed for radical progress while nostalgic Taurus clung to traditions. Definitely a mismatch! (Remember, according to the system of essential dignities, Uranus is “in fall” in Taurus, its least comfortable place in the zodiac.)

Taurus rules material security, while Uranus disrupts it, forcing us to rethink our relationship to money, resources and stability itself. We’ve all learned collective lessons about work, money and the way we use natural resources during this transit. That clash is clear in the tension between economic growth and the planet’s increasingly urgent cries for social justice and environmental change.

Until April 25, we are tasked with resolving this planetary paradox: Can we create much-needed progress without erasing timeless traditions that still hold value and utility? There’s still time to find out!

Uranus meaning in astrology

Uranus takes 84 years to cycle through the entire zodiac, hanging out in each sign’s “airspace” for approximately seven years. Whichever sign Uranus is orbiting through gives the planet its focus. Here is where we see innovation, chaos and massive societal changes.

The Uranus in Taurus transit began in 2018, a cycle that officially wraps on April 25, 2026. Yes, that means it’s almost over! In 2025, we got a sneak peek of the Uranus in Gemini (2026-2033) transit, when the side-spinning planet slipped into the air sign from July 7 to November 7.

What does it mean when Uranus is in retrograde?

When a planet passes the Earth in its orbit around the Sun, it’s said to be going retrograde. From our vantage point on Earth, the planet appears to be on a reverse commute, backing up through the zodiac instead of advancing ahead degree by degree. While these aren’t optimal times to start anything new, they can be powerful periods to review our progress and enjoy nostalgia.

Like all the outer planets, Uranus turns retrograde for nearly half of every year—considered a bit of a relief. Spitfire Uranus is an agent of change, but its disruptions (and rebellions) can throw everything into chaos. During its five-month backspins, we get a bit of a timeout from all that.

The themes of Uranus retrograde are: independence, innovation and change, technology use, social causes, and freedom vs. stability.

How long does Uranus stay retrograde?

Uranus has an annual retrograde cycle that lasts about five months.

How does Uranus affect us?

Uranus is considered a generational planet because of its longer transit span. It shapes the mindset of an entire age group, influenced by whichever zodiac sign it’s visiting.

During these spells, progress can slow to a grinding halt. Technology, which is ruled by Uranus, can break down and classified information stored online can be subject to security breaches.

The best way to deal? Strengthen your passwords, then step back to reconnect to the analog world. With the metaphysical planet snoozing, developing mindfulness practices can help you stay alert and aware. Get conscious about your every move—and your impact! Your interest in community work and activism may blossom in the process.

Coming VERY soon: Uranus in Gemini

Welcome to the innovation station! Zany Uranus plugged into Gemini’s grid briefly in 2025 (from July 7 to November 7), bringing a thrilling mix of excitement and unpredictability to our lives. On April 25, 2026, the 7-year Uranus in Gemini transit (2026-2033), begins in earnest!

When radical Uranus last toured Gemini (1940s), humanity split the atom, launched television and entered the nuclear age. Over the next seven years, the push for digital everything could bring us to the crossroads of personal convenience and governmental control. Read some of our predictions for Uranus in Gemini.

When is the next Uranus retrograde?

Uranus retrograde in 2026. The dates of the next Uranus retrograde are September 10, 2026 to February 8, 2027. This will be the first retrograde lap of Uranus retrograde in Gemini in our lifetimes! You’ll be called to reassess how you communicate and adapt to changing circumstances. This period will be about reflecting on new ideas or exciting collabs that require further refinement before moving forward.
