Uranus in Gemini

Sir William Herschel sighted this planet in 1781, and Alan Leo, writing before 1917, places it that night in the 25th degree of Gemini. Our calculation for 13 March 1781 agrees, giving a little over 24 degrees within the sign, which is the 25th degree by the old way of counting. Gemini is thus where the planet stood when it was first identified.

Raphael in 1828 named Gemini among the three airy signs where he judged the planet fortunate. Ptolemy makes it a house of Mercury, a planet Raphael elsewhere blends with Saturn to describe Herschel, though he draws no link to this sign. Sepharial in 1920 cites this very pairing as a worked example of how a planet's nature mixes with a sign's topics, a period technique whose example this page leaves out.

Recent passes ran from 1941 or 1942 until 1948 or 1949, and the current one began in 2025, settled in 2026 and lasts until 2032 or 2033 by the same calculation. Everyone born across such a span holds the same sign here. Modern astrologers may call them a talkative or networked age group, and that label stays a modern habit of speech.
