Uranus in Gemini

This Uranus-in-Gemini page and the entire website are excerpted from You and the Universe, a handmade, individualized fine art book on astrology, mythology and astronomy through which the recipient's complete astrological reading is woven.

Uranus was in Gemini only eight years since the time of the Civil War, from May 1942 through June 1949. When Uranus entered Gemini the G.I. bill altered the emphasis on education in the U.S. Thousands now went on to college when before a high school education had been enough. Since it is the higher octave of the ruler of Gemini, it increases your ability to intuit and grasp new concepts quickly. This sign placement is good in occupations that deal with ideas, teaching, writing, communication, computers, and electromagnetic waves in general (radio, TV, radar). You tend to be restless, and may move a lot. If Mercury is in hard or quincunx aspect to Uranus there will be trouble with relatives. You may find yourself relaxing in telephone conversations, puzzles, and in making connections. Uranus returns to each sign once every 84 years.
