Surprise and Unpredictability—Uranus in Taurus
March 6, 2019 - April 25, 2026

(Uranus briefly leaves Taurus from July 7, 2025 - November 7, 2025 before finally exiting in April 2026)

Uranus is the planet of surprise, revolution, technology, and instability which serves to unmoor stagnant and stale structures and institutions, to keep us from settling into unproductive or unhealthy patterns. In larger society Uranus is often associated with political revolutions, and in our personal lives it similarly upturns old behaviors, relationships, living situations, etc., in order to keep our life in motion. Though not as long as Neptune and Pluto transits, Uranus still occupies a sign for about seven years, which can sometimes feel like an eternity, especially when our heart is breaking. But like all influences it will eventually pass (as it is just about to), and let us move on to the next stage of life. The key to handling Uranus transits successfully is with some healthy levity and cynicism. Anyone who take themselves too seriously will find these transits very upsetting.

Aries

Uranus has taken you on a rollercoaster since 2019 as it has torn through your second Zodiac house of means (finances and resources). If you were especially attached to money, success, and material things this was likely very difficult to persevere. But here you are at the end, with Uranus about to head into your third house of knowledge, and hopefully you’ve learned some new and revolutionary behaviors and principles surrounding your finances and other resources, including that money is not the only thing of value.

Taurus

Congratulations! Uranus has been in your first Zodiac house of the self since 2019, and although it may have been unsettling you have found a greater sense of who you are and what your life purpose and goals are more true to you than what you were doing before, which was likely more what you thought was expected. The upcoming transit of Uranus through the second house concerning finances can be aggravating and frustrating if you don’t know who you are and what really is important in life, so if you haven’t learned that lesson yet maybe reading this line is part of this influence and a catalyst to get to work finding out before the time is up!

Gemini

Uranus is now in your twelfth house so it is very likely you have been surprised by unexpected events and even endings of old ideas of spirituality, or shocked by previously unknown secrets or people who act against you without your express knowledge. While this has likely been unpleasant it is very likely the things being destroyed by this transit do not in fact serve you, and you’ve required some shaking up to recognize harmful and even self-destructive behavior which must be gotten rid of. While as humans we crave stability it is not really a thing that exists in life, with constant cycles of growth and loss that keep all life in constant motion. Coming to terms with that unpredictability can turn what appears scary and unstable to something fun and exciting as we get to have a livelier life than we would if given the control we desire. This transit is almost over, after which you will have Uranus in your first house, which can also be equally fun and challenging but more the former if you have handled this influence well.

Cancer

This transit has been through your eleventh house of friends and fortune, and there is nothing worse than unreliable friends and flighty wealth. But that’s okay because in the end all relationships end and all wealth decays, and we are only left with ourselves and our experiences, a lesson that Uranus has been trying to teach you. True friendships can be found in the future, and you can also be a friend to yourself and look out for your best interests and learn to enjoy your own company. That would make you a more interesting and reliable person anyway. Uranus is about to go weak havoc in your twelfth house, which is an exclamation mark on this journey of erratic discovery, which you can best prepare for by following those instructions to get to know yourself rather than waiting for others. In the later first house transit you will find yourself.

Leo

Tenth house transits are almost always stressful, Leo, and since 2019 the transit of Uranus here has likely had you dealing with unreliable work situations and public perception, even harassment, persecution, and deception (deserved or not). The tenth house often concerns reputation, for which many people are especially concerned as an evolutionary human survival instinct, since our ability to survive often depends on other people. But public perception is insubstantial and fickle, and can be taken away as fast as it is earned, so basing our self-worth and life goals on what the public thinks of us can truly lead us down the wrong path, or even discarding morals as we scheme and try to control things that we can’t actually control. Always do what’s right, and when the dust settles you will be venerated.

Virgo

Uranus transiting the ninth house can bring surprising and unexpected opportunities to expand the mind and learn things we might have never even considered existed, let alone real and valid. The problem with this transit is that the unexpected nature of this influence may also cause us to think it is fleeting or insubstantial, but in fact there are very real and important things to learn during this transit which will be required for more challenging transits in the future, so go back and revisit those experiences to make sure you didn’t miss anything or discard the baby in the bathwater.

Libra

Uranus has been in our eighth house of power and control, which has been occasionally both upsetting and liberating. None of us likes being controlled but things such as taxes, shared finances with a partner, and governments and systems of authority are forces of control and power with which we must content and often even submit, because we are never completely alone in this world. Patience is always the best skill for surviving Uranus transits, because while they are somewhat long they do in fact end, as this one will very soon.

Scorpio

Unreliable partners are the most frustrating thing about life. We could just settle down and be happy if you would get your shit together! But being triggered by an unreliable or unstable partner during the transit of Uranus through the seventh Zodiac house of relationships only makes this situation worse, because they are also going through their own crises and need a strong foundation on which to rely. Don’t sacrifice your own best-interests, but make sure you don’t set indiscriminate boundaries for control and that the boundaries you set are actually healthy, otherwise you will just scare off someone who may only need support and help. This influence does not only pertain to romance, however, and business partners or any other partnership is likely also a source of unpredictable instability which we can only handle by riding it out our cutting them out of our lives if needed (just don’t do so needlessly).

Sagittarius

Uranus transiting your Zodiac sixth house thrown you occasional health and work curveballs you didn’t see coming. Hopefully you were able to address them as they came up, but if not this transit only lasts a bit longer. Neptune transits this house in 2039, and having a dose of this chaos you more than anyone right now knows how important then it is to build up your health and take care of your wellbeing. Of course, we cannot control life, and even after doing this you will still experience Neptune’s influence (such as delusionally thinking you won’t have to deal with it by preparing as I have suggested), but it couldn’t hurt to be prepared.

Capricorn

The fifth house rules creation, and having Uranus here might have been blessed with unexpected opportunities to create art, design, projects, a new love affair, or children. What a great surprise. But this could also mean you’ve been dealing with unreliable and unpredictable children, love affairs, and projects that seem impossible to finish. That’s okay, because if you are honest maybe it has kept your life exciting and interesting. Just don’t resent people (especially children) who’ve been part of this, because, like you, they are also trying their best.

Aquarius

Uranus transiting your fourth house of home and family likely means that since 2019 you have moved a few times, had problems with your home, landlords, or neighbors, and unpredictable and unreliable family members or events in your family that you didn’t see coming. Fourth house transits are always significant, and having a stable home is one of the things most desired by most people because it can provide a sense of stability and security. Unfortunately stability and security are always illusions, and life is always in constant change and flux, and we are blessed to have people in our lives for the time allotted, no more but also no less, and finding appreciation for what we do have can make the inconsistency of life much more bearable and those things we do have more precious than when we delusionally pretend they will last forever.

Pisces

Uranus has been in your third Zodiac house of knowledge since 2019 and, like it or not (probably the latter), you have had many surprising and even undesired opportunities for exposure to new knowledge which hopefully has benefitted you in tangible ways. All life is based on knowledge, from learning to speak, how to hold utensils, what is healthy and what is not, how to succeed and how to do specific jobs, or manage finances, or repair mistakes and maintain relationships. If knowledge has come your way that you have for some reason discarded in an undeserved sense of arrogance go back right now and go over it again, because you won’t have such an empowering opportunity to prepare yourself for the future, and the entirety of your future is filled with transits, just like the entirety of the past, which are best navigated through knowledge. Unfortunately this house also rules siblings, so there may also have been much instability and unpredictability with anyone you grew up with whether blood related or not. Uranus often teaches patience, but having compassion for those who are having a hard time can make this a bit easier to endure.
