Uranus takes about 80 years to completely transit the zodiac, and spends about 8 years in each sign. The previous time Uranus was in the sign of Aries was in the late 1920s, amid the height of the world’s panic and depression.

When Uranus is in Aries, what happens?
When Uranus travels through Aries, we’ll all feel a cosmic jolt. We may have forgotten our genuine identities along the way or, for whatever reason, pushed them to the side. Uranus in Aries will change that, prompting us to embrace whatever aspect of our energy symbolizes an independent spirit and higher thinking, and to make a bold change with ourselves (Uranus rules the higher mind).
However, during Uranus’ transit through Aries, this urge for personal change could make things complicated. We could have a low tolerance for anyone who threatens to step on our identities’ toes. At the first sign of someone or something hindering our ability to exhibit our pioneering spirit, we may get irritated or even enraged. We should seize this chance to live more truthfully while simultaneously being aware of our proclivity for selfishness.
Uranus Retrograde in Aries
Uranus Retrograde encourages us to be honest with ourselves, face our anxieties, and let go of whatever no longer serves us in order to become the person we want (or were destined to be). Uranus Retrograde in Aries feels like a divine urge to do our own thing and express our uniqueness. This retrograde period will fuel our impulse to rebel if we’ve been feeling confined in any aspect of our existence.
During Uranus’ retrograde in Aries, we could wonder if our relationships are holding us back. Is my current position keeping me from achieving the level of success I desire? Have the opinions of others prevented me from pursuing a goal? Uranus Retrograde in Aries will cause a stir, urging us to make adjustments in areas of our lives that aren’t personally satisfying.
If you were born with Uranus in Aries
You are indeed a pioneer! Aries is the natural born leader of the zodiac, while Uranus is the sign of revolutionary vision. When this planet and sign align in your birth chart, you are empowered to boldly go where no one has gone before. You’re the type of person who is open to new ideas and situations.
You may be someone who helped pioneer discoveries in computing, medical research, aerospace technology, and other comparable advancements, thanks to Aries’ strong ambition to push forward and Uranus’ role as the planet of radical change and technology. To put it another way, you may be the catalyst for a technological revolution!
What is the duration of Uranus’ transit?
In astrology, a planetary return occurs when a transiting planet returns to its exact location at the time of a person’s birth. This indicates that the planet is beginning a new cycle in the life of a person. Astrologers would remark that a person’s birthday is technically their’solar return,’ because it marks the day that the sun returns to the same place in the zodiac as on their original birthday. The outer planets Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus have the most significant returns. Half-returns are particularly crucial, especially in the case of Uranus, because many people may not live long enough to see or benefit from its entire return of 84 years.
Jupiter returns every twelve years or so, signaling a new stage of life’s growth and development. The first Jupiter return, at the age of twelve, deals with the transition into adolescence and puberty, while the second, around the age of 24, deals with the first genuine steps into adulthood. A Jupiter return year is usually a good one, with prizes and grants being awarded. In this year, several writers are first published, while athletes attain their first significant goals. Foreign travel and further education are frequently recommended. The Jupiter return is an excellent moment to take risks and assert yourself, since your efforts will typically be rewarded.
Every thirty years, Saturn returns, signaling a stage in the aging process when new realities and obligations must be faced. The first Saturn return happens at the age of thirty and is associated with the first true sense of responsibility. Many people will make a significant commitment at this time, such as marrying, starting a family, or purchasing a property. It’s also a period when many people evaluate failing relationships and decide it’s time to end them. Many people will reevaluate their careers and question their progress so far. This is a fantastic moment to retrain and change careers, even if it means a lower wage for a period.
The second return happens at the age of fifty-nine and involves the time when people re-evaluate their lives’ next phase. Many people are thinking about retiring from full-time job and pursuing hobbies that have been neglected due to work and children. It is also many people’s first encounter with the reality of approaching old age. It is critical to maintain a positive, realistic attitude at this time and not merely see oneself as “on the scrapheap,” as most people have many more good years ahead of them. The Saturn return is generally a stressful and challenging time, but if decisions and adjustments are wise and implemented, they usually work out well in the long run.
Uranus takes 84 years to return to its original position. However, when it reaches the halfway point in its trip, around the age of 42, one of its most significant affects is felt. The Uranus half-return is thought to be the cause of many people’s’mid-life crisis.’ Women, particularly those with children who are growing up and leaving home, may feel as if life has slipped away from them. At this time, many women enter the pre-menopause stage, while many males experience the’male menopause.’ Casual flirtations and affairs have the potential to upset or derail long-term relationships. The half-return of Uranus may be both frustrating and energizing. It is the ideal moment for people to break free from their long-held routines and pursue new hobbies.
If the person is generally well and fit, the full Uranus return occurs about age 84, and it might signal a new and active enthusiasm in life. Many creative artists, for example, have created significant works after the age of 84; Verdi composed his opera Falstaff, while Picasso painted many of his best paintings in his latter years.
When will Uranus return?
Uranus is a planet that is far from Earth and moves slowly from our perspective. Uranus takes 84 years to return to its original position in the sky on the day we were born. Uranus spends years in the same sign, making it a fixed star “planet “generational” Our peers in our age group have similar interests “We have the same “Uranus sign” – the zodiac sign Uranus was in when we were born which suggests we’re both unusual and seek societal change.
As a result, we may draw some broad conclusions about what the Uranus Opposition might signify for anyone born under the sign of Uranus. Here are some broad readings from Astrologer Tara Redfield on a handful of the recent past, present, and future mid-lifers:
How long do signs in Uranus last?
Uranus is a very important planet in astrology, whether you pronounce it “UR-uh-nus” or “Ur-AY-nus.” Uranus is a significant planet that represents shocks, unexpected changes, science, technology, and innovation, and it is the punchline to many jokes. It’s a “contemporary planet” (as opposed to a “old planet” like Mars, which we’ve known about for at least as long as recorded history) that was discovered by chance in 1781. It also rules the zodiac sign Aquarius.
Uranus defies reality and the structures formed by Saturn, our solar system’s previous planet. Uranus can help you grasp rapid changes or adjustments in your personal life as well as in the world. If Uranus connects with personal points and planets in your birth chart, such as your Rising, Sun, or Moon sign, the attributes of those points and planets can be amplified in your personality.
Uranus spends approximately seven years in each sign (often a bit longer due to retrograde), and it takes 84 years to travel through the zodiac. This means that vast groups of people in successive generations share the same Uranus signUranus is frequently referred to as a “generational planet.”
When did Uranus enter Aries?
The digital revolution has begun, and it is all about you. Uranus entered fiery Aries in 2010, completely changing the way we express our individuality. Uranus began its long-term journey into Aries in 2011, albeit it only lingered for a few months.
Uranus is a planet of unpredictability and even explosive shocks. Japan was brutally attacked by an earthquake, a tsunami, and nuclear reactors that threatened to detonate on March 11th, the day unstable Uranus crossed from watery Pisces into fiery Aries.
Uranus, as a slow-moving outer planet, only moves through the zodiac signs every 7-9 years. It was based in Pisces from 2003 until 2011. The world observed a spectacular burst of fire over water during the disastrous BP oil disaster on April 20, 2010, almost exactly one month before it entered Aries. To say the least, the timing raised our astrological eyebrows.
Uranus is also the planet that governs massive global reforms and groundbreaking scientific breakthroughs. If the BP disaster has stained the planet’s gaseous, blue-green hands, perhaps we can make sense of the tragedy by calling it a massive planetary wakeup call. Uranus didn’t want to depart Pisces without sending a big statement. Nobody can deny that we’ve been indiscriminately utilizing oil for everything from gas-guzzling SUVs to the plastic bottles we throw away “bins for recycling (many of which never make it to their promised, repurposed state). We’ve been preoccupied with the poisons in our tap water while ignoring the natural source of our liquid assets. This Uranus cycle will increase pressure to support further clean-water saving inventions if we can figure out how to seal a gushing deep ocean oil well. We sincerely hope so!
Uranus entered Aries on March 11 and will remain there until May 15, 2018, a day that will go down in Japanese history as a catastrophic calamity. Uranus in Aries calls attention to issues such as global warming, the effects of solar flares, and the development of alternate energy sources. If you’ve been wondering when your local Home Depot would start selling affordable solar panels, this seven-year period could witness a major shift in the store’s aisles.
Uranus is the populist sign, while Aries is the zodiac’s warrior “I’m going down for the people.” While this may be a time of significant and beneficial government reforms, we must also keep a watchful eye on candidates. Militarists and dictators dressed as revolutionaries can slip in through the back door, preying on people’s primal rage (the Achilles’ Heel for both Aries and Uranus). The United States went to war with Libya just days after Uranus entered Aries on March 11.
Uranus last visited Aries in 1927-1935, during which time a guy named Adolf managed to brainwash a continent of disgruntled, economically disadvantaged Europeans into supporting his heinous cause. You may have been surprised by the Tea Party candidates’ speed and success in 2010. This right-wing movement, led by Sarah Palin, is giving the Republican Party a fight for its money. Candidates who are openly racist (many of whom have served in the military) have won elections, while the liberals have lost “The Obama administration’s “Yes We Can!” chants have faded to a murmur at best. Because of the celestial timing of this political shift, Uranus in Aries will usher in a period of global leadership turmoil.
So, where can you go to escape it all? Consider hiring a space shuttle to take you to Mars. Who knows, as Mars is the ruler of Aries. Already, Mars One, a Dutch corporation, is preparing an unmanned flight to Mars in 2020, with the goal of beginning colonization activities in 2026.
Uranus in Aries will awaken your spirit of originality on the personal level. Uranus has a reputation for being a rabble-rouser. In terms of our world, unquestionable happiness might be simply boring. Come down from your high-altitude meditative state. Your ostrich head should be lifted from the sand. There’s unrest and tumult to be dealt with..and to this end, we find an appropriate remark from Lady Gaga to gnaw on: “Peace. It does not imply that you are in an environment free of trouble, noise, or hard labor. It involves being in the midst of terrible circumstances and remaining peaceful in your heart.”
In 2021, how long will Uranus be retrograde?
Let’s start with an explanation of what it means when a planet moves “retrograde.” When a planet is retrograde, it appears to be travelling backwards through the sky, despite the fact that this is an optical illusion. Planets move retrograde when the other planets begin to travel at different rates, according to Astrology. Unlike Mercury, which only goes retrograde for a few weeks at a time, Uranus goes retrograde for five months every year, so we’ve become accustomed to it.
How long will Uranus be in the house?
(If your Uranus scored highly on the Planetary Strength Tests on the first page of this blog, this is a significant possibility.)
If your natal Uranus is conjunct any of the crucial locations listed above, this transit could signal the start of a new chapter in your life. I usually argue that Uranian personalities have the ability to remake themselves on a regular basis, especially during Uranus transits.
Uranus may spend seven years or more in a vocational house, depending on the width of the house and the number of degrees in that house.
What Transiting Uranus Brings to a Career Placement
- Visionary, inventive, and unconventional. (It’s possible that you’ve never been inside the box.)
- Ability to relate to a wide range of people and make friends with people from various cultures and backgrounds.
- Independent, on their own path, and at ease on the cutting edge of fashion.
- Can be a rebel and a maverick who resists authority and rejects the existing quo.
Note that difficult signs or aspects, particularly in conjunction with other occupational placements, can change the planet’s fundamental essence. If this is the case, sections of the following description may not apply altogether.
An OverviewUranus Transits to the Career Houses
Consider how you reacted to Uranus’ energy during previous transits to the career sector as you analyze events and situations. If you’re having trouble getting to these places, consider which of your less constructive features you’re displaying and how those traits might be contributing to an even more challenging scenario.
Were some of its less desired characteristics in play, and could working on them help you get a better result from current and future transits? Did you also show off its potential for positive features and potentials that you could use in the current transits? To see how you’re doing, use the transiting Uranus inventory below.
Avant-garde, futuristic, state-of-the-art, cutting-edge, genius, quirky, humanitarian, thinking outside-the-box, idealistic, innovative, bright, unattached, free are all possible constructive expressions.
Willfulness, knee-jerk rebel, sabotage, agitator, maverick, provocative, eccentric, cold, contrarian, elitist, unpredictable, unreliable, easily distracted, explosive, stubborn are all possible challenging expressions.
Uranus’ movement is chaotic and ever-changing, and it can correspond to a desire to change everything for the sake of trying something new. You’re more likely to be exposed to cutting-edge ideas and techniques as a result of your restlessness, which will boost creativity, spark your inventiveness, and significantly alter your course. You might be drawn to new and intriguing ideas, methods, and peoplelike-minded souls who can help you through these changes.
You’re forced to cultivate independence and initiative in an insecure marketplace with frequent leadership changes. These unexpected events can lead you in ways you never imagined you’d goor things you wished for but never imagined you’d achieve.
People who have a hard time adapting to change may find these transits unpleasant. A succession of unexpected job transitions and shifts in the types of work done are common occurrences. Odd working conditions, unique or even quirky managers and coworkers, layoffs or company closures, or even geographic moves due to transfers are all possibilities.
We may experience a succession of abrupt employment and career changes, including what appear to be false starts. Even if the adjustments don’t work out, they might be seen of as experiments in which we try out new possibilities.
Each step on the route is a piece of a larger jigsaw, and each one adds to a final result that combines various aspects of our unique abilities.
Expecting the Unexpected in Career Developments
I admit, like many astrologers, that Uranus transits are impossible to anticipate. Uranus’ behavior is ever-changing, cutting-edge, and unstable. Uranus transits can make you feel compelled to change everything merely to try something new.
We’re likely to be exposed to a variety of cutting-edge ideas and techniques as a result of this restlessness, which could inspire our imagination, spark our innovation, and drastically alter our course. We might be drawn to interesting ideas, approaches, and peoplelike-minded souls who can help us through all of the changes we’ll confront.
Many of us will feel compelled to follow our own authority rather than that of others. We’re pushed to cultivate independence and initiative in an uncertain marketplace with frequent leadership changes.
As we meet quick new advancements, we frequently have the opportunity to break from convention and think for ourselves. Some of us are both pushed and allowed to become less conventional, to abandon the safe womb of mass culture in favor of a radical new way of living that may eventually become the norm.
If Uranus is transiting a career house or aspecting the Midheaven, and you’re making good use of the transit, those unexpected occurrences could lead you in ways you never imagined you’d goor those you wished for but never expected to achieve. One thing is certain: we are all living in fascinating times.

Is Uranus currently retrograde?
Uranus, the Planet of Rebellion, will finally end its five-month retrograde on January 18. Uranus’ backwards dance has brought us breakups, shakeups, and breakthroughs since August 2021, and now we can relax and go forward.
When will Uranus return?
Uranus, on the other hand, is a faraway planet that takes 84 years to complete a full orbit. As a result, a Uranus return occurs only once in our lifetime, around the age of 81. Uranus was last in Taurus from 1934 to 1942, therefore anyone born during that time are living through the Uranus return. For many of us, however, this is the first and only time we’ll be exposed to Uranus and Taurus’ combined energy. Uranus and Taurus are odd bedfellows in many ways: whereas Uranus represents innovation, Taurus represents tradition. Let’s look at Uranus and Taurus separately to better understand the following eight years.
