“Hello - Good to be back and talking about yet another anticipated astrological event. And such an important one. I had this very romantic ideas that I was going to get up and record this episode early in the morning. Now, I am a night girl — I expand at night, I can get twice as much done in the evening as I do during the day. Oh yes I was born in the evening and the moon is the ruler of my chart. Sidenote were you born in day or night and which do you prefer to work in and complete shit during. Anyway I always record at night and thats just how it works out. Well of course not always is that gonna happen and plus I was curious about how it would feel to hear my voice and be in this space in the bright hot sunshine. And I say sunshine, because my office is literally a sun-room likeI could turn this whole room into a greenhouse probably easily.
Now I am recording this on a Wednesday, Mercury’s day, and I am already filled with words plus I’m excited to talk about this strange and interesting planet. This week on Tuesday July the 7th at 3:48am ET Uranus moved into Gemini and actually in New York it ingressed with a Gemini Rising and on most of the East Coast of North America, Gemini Rising. That places Mercury in focus, and Mercury is currently Leo which makes this a proud and readied and realized planetary transition.
We’ve been fluctuating between planetary endings and planetary beginnings for the whole year. At the beginning of the year, I couldn’t fathom how we’d possibly feel by the time we got to July and Uranus would be moving into Gemini. I think there is a lot of excitement about this change and that is because of the nature of the planet. Its history and its relationship to change. Uranus doesn’t want change for the sake of change, it wants changes that are innovative, shocking, rebellious, scary, exciting.
Being the modern ruler of Uranus, Aquarius is the astolgical energy we look to in order to understand the qualities of Uranus, a planet that rotates on its side and has 27 moons. Uranus by no means looks like any other body in the sky. In fact, Uranus’ discovery came with arguments to decide on its name. Competitions between astrologers and astronomers. But think about this 1781, by this time astronomers had kind of agreed on the cosmic structure and were like there’s nothing else up there. And the account we have, William Herschel an astronomer builds a telescope and discovers Uranus. Interestingly enough first planet discovered with a telescope, Galileo and his cronies were making a telescope in early 1600s but those planets could be seen with naked eye just telescope made it all better for viewing and research.
Sidenote I always wonder with this history, im sure other people had discovered Uranus but William Herschel is in the privileged position to be credited for it - which of course could be for many reasons - positioning, access, academia, network, platform. Well here I am truly embodying a Mercury ruled Uranus –questioning structures, calling out veiled facts, meeting history with present and ongoing realities. More on this in a minute. But what happened with Uranus is that over the next 200 years or the other generational bodies were found – Neptune and Pluto. When we talk about the outer planets we talk about the world first and how that impacts us personally. We speak from the external world to the internal experience of that rather than the inner planets, the interior experience is how we interact with the world.
So when Uranus transitions – Its a conversation of cause and effect because of the outer generational planets it is the closest one to us. Moving between Taurus and Gemini is moving from a Venus-ruled Uranus to a Mercury ruled Uranus, from Earth to Air. From 29 to 0 degrees we saw devastating floods in Texas and at the start of Uranus moving into Taurus in 2018 I was sitting in my bed in my first NY apartment and I had a job with an astrology app and I was on a shift and suddenly the minute Uranus moved into Taurus the most severe thunderstorm happened, rare tornadoes in the NE happened, a telephone wire fell beside my window, and my roommate and dear friend opened the door, completely soaked head to toe.
Uranus’ transition into Taurus has seen the most severe environmental impacts and climate crises globally with major economic changes, exchange rate fluctuations, NFTs (came and went- question mark) and obviously crypto. We also saw a lot through Covid that I was often attributing to Uranus in Taurus – free street libraries, mutual aid, crowdsourcing (specifically for safety and comfort) remember all of the food subscriptions and grocery and food delivery services that have come up… the rise of the skincare craze and skin routine, I mean Amazon is very Taurus…. WOW the list goes on and on - so take my list and think about it. The changes are noticeable, the changes are global, now thats the external, collective, the impact on the world and of course all of this has directly effected each of us personally. We respond to the changes, we have relationships to them, we shock ourselves in how we’re pulled or impacted, we rebel against a past self in response. We innovate hopefully for better but sometimes with Uranus impacts for worse, because Uranus believe in momentum and believes that a jolting car ride often leads to a utopian beach. Seriously its the original metaphor I gave for the journey of Uranus. Particularly when I worked for that astrology app which started within the period of Uranus move from Aries to Taurus, I had to have quick quips to explain the effect of planets because I was answering people’s burning astrology questions in 15 minute sessions on none other than Facebook messenger. It was so strange you guys and it was only like me and three other astrologers working for this company.
And I decided Uranus was the unpaved road to utopian beach pipeline. Haha its not utopia ever but its the ideal I think Uranus is holding. I think the energy of Aquarius teaches us about devastation and oppression with always a sense of hope for the best world. Aquarius is humantarian and philanthropic and believes in community – Obviously in Aquarians we see this worldview and the self view is where they work harder. We see this quality in Uranus its the worldview and struggles to find the individual in that.
Perfect Segway —-
It is interesting to notice, to see the way in which lives have shifted already in 2025 especially in the last month to two months.
This summer, now that Uranus has moved into Gemini, is a huge indication of what is upon us. What we’re in now and this summer, is what is next. In a very broad sense. Indications are hints and when our life gives us hints, we have to listen. We have to be aware. And Uranus; change brings in that push of surprise. The full moon on July 10 and the new moon on July 24 2025 continues to be markers of significant indications.
I see this In my consulting practice all the time -a shield in front of people’s eyes, an inability to see that their lives are changing. For some people this is a practice and a comfort, I think I am one of those people — where finding changes is very nourishing and a part of living. For other people change is a bigger endeavor and has to be calibrated and cultivated and eased into. Sometimes I see someone’s life changing so dramatically and they can’t see it, but I know I will eventually, and then they say something so profound, and I go a-ha there it is did you hear what you just told me.
This is also why the timing of major outer planets has to go through a process of forward and backward. in the fall Saturn, Neptune, Uranus all move into their previous signs before fully entering their new chapter in 2026.
And of course, what is special is there is always Jupiter having a grand ole time sailing in Cancer, so with all the impact, is also this abundant corner of reality. That is reality, that you can count as not being delusional.
Uranus into Gemini means Mercury as I’ve been saying so all things communication, perception, and special skills of intellect. Gemini is very engineering in this placement. I think Gemini has the ability to really figure out some things that other signs can absolutely not do. Extremely intelligent, often science based, research oriented, mathematical. Innovative. Gemini is no bullshit, but also withholding, gemini is about social dynamics and innerowkrings of drama and gossip.
I anticipate massive massive changes in social media, social platforms, advertising and marketing, AI and communication, bizarre mishaps with information, fact checking, lies revealed, and in the United States Uranus in Gemini is the placement associated with the following and listen closely people: the declaration of independence was signed in 1776 Uranus was in Gemini (prior to its actual siting) and The American Revolution, Uranus was in Gemini during the American Civil War, the US involvement in WWII, the industrial revolution, the French Revolution.
Do we see theme perhaps?
Uranus is associated with revolution yes. And Gemini has the intelligence to organize all parts of the system, remember Gemini rules twos in the body, specifically the hands, the arms, the lungs. Gemini can think in many places at once, is interested in every part that makes up what is larger and what is larger is Gemini’s opposite - Sagittarius.
Uranus is rebellion, it is change, sudden events, abstractions from what came before, innovation, unabashedness toward meaningful significance, Uranus is shock value, and teaches us to be open to surprise and okay that surprise is a part of life.
Since 2018 that has been Venus related. Desires, care, love, wants, needs, money and finances, how they are Made, self worth and value, relationship to relationships, our surroundings, maximalism, and what matters to love our lives… Now the effect of Uranus on our interior will be related to agreements & disagreement, anxieties, argument, siblings, all means of communication including our personal development in it, cleverness and resourcefulness, technology/software/computing systems, contemplation, mental abilities, dialogue, patterns, languages, expression, education, city planning, regional and neighborhood focus and centralizing. Finding your people vibes.
Y’all I have a feeling that letter writing, handwriting/cursive class, and language classes in our education system will shift in exciting ways and be reintroduced. Like theres something about writing checks and sending mail that this transit is making me think about. Like Post offices and the postal system is very Uranus in Gemini focus. With Uranus we only move forward -we never go back- but there is a reverence of the past and an understanding of history that Uranus that brings into the future radically. Wow I think we’ll be dating people met through social circles and a complete and total shift in dating app culture. I think about comedy and our wild secret opinions we just might pop off even more. Uranus is so interesting because we can talk about war and revolution and then depending on the sign, be also talking about transportation (air travel and train travel). Mercury is maximiliast y’all it touches everything. And in truly mercurial fashion, I can’t stop talking. Or writing. Right now.
I’m gonna leave you with this. Uranus does not fear. Yes, in Gemini it coincides with unimaginable history. But you need to ground yourself in reality. When Uranus was in Taurus from 1934 to 1942 there was a rise in fascism, Uranus in Gemini there was the most devastating world war. It did happen again with Uranus in Taurus this time. That is the reality. And then simultaneous there are so many intricacies and parts of society and ways we understand being a human that change alongside. There is global impact, local impact, personal impact, Uranus is also very fun and wild and spontaneous and is extremely interested in how chaos and recovery live simultaneously. Uranus teaches us that in the best and worst of times, there is something someway for every single person to relate to it all.
With that, I think I’ve talked a lot. And have even more to say. I am going to write about the full moon on July 10. I wanted to keep this episode specific to Uranus so it could be listened to in the future without to much this week specific stuff. But yes the full moon will be happening in Capricorn on July 10. Please read my substack for that, I will be emailing my clients all this as well and please follow Avenues on Spotify and rate the show would be cool.
I really hope you enjoyed this episode and I will see you next time.”
