URANUS IN GEMINI
WE GO TO WAR!
(July 7, 2025 – Nov. 7, 2025; April 26, 2026 – Aug. 4, 2032, Dec. 12, 2032 – May 22, 2033.)
Truth or Lies, Revelations or Deceptions:
In order to understand how profound this transit is for humanity, we need to look at the previous periods relevant to us when our ancestors experienced their journey historically through those times. Uranus moved through Gemini during the American Revolution, the Civil War, and during and following World War II. It appears in the origin chart of the USA and is a signature impacting our history, heritage, and looming issues that have both defined us and challenged us throughout our existence as a nation.
This transit is so important to human civilization that, along with Pluto in Aquarius, it would symbolize a paradigm shift in human consciousness that launches us fully into the realms of AI, robots, space travel, genetic engineering, nuclear fusion — and even transformations moving our notions of “reality” into the amazing world of “quantum entanglement.” This transit, along with Pluto in Aquarius and Neptune in Aries in a cooperative relationship with each other, lends hope that we will step up to the plate and be the best we can be.
The Challenges that Lie in Information:
Starting in the 1980s, with the development of personal Computers, cell phones, and the Internet, all available to people in developed nations throughout the world, we entered a previously unknown landscape of opportunity for both good and evil. Laws and/or regulations to hold people responsible for telling the truth were either absent or removed. What is now installed in these devices goes primarily to sell products or services that make big money, since that is the current lynch pin for an economy based on unregulated capitalism. Even evils like human trafficking, extortion, and child pornography are widespread and seemingly unstoppable. Politicians, who have always exaggerated their promises, are now allowed to lie with a degree of consistency we have never seen before. The adage – “Tell a lie often enough and people will eventually believe it” is, sadly, proving that it works!
The Imperial Presidency:
Millions of young people have lost the ability to think critically, reflecting on our society’s failure to offer quality education for all, regardless of their economic status. Their eyeballs are simply “plastered” on their cell phones, while they have not comprehensively studied history, civics, or even grasped basic skill sets, and are too often unable to even pass exams or submit term papers if and when they get to college. The average IQ recorded in the US is now 94.
The US elected a self-proclaimed autocrat to the presidency in 2024. We now have a nation that cannot comprehend what it takes to sustain a successful democracy. Pres. Trump’s challenges to nationwide injunctions on the part of lower courts forbidding him to end constitutionally assured birthright citizenship have won — as the Supreme Court ruled that Trump has the right to effectively end compliance with nationwide injunctions.. This court continues to seem to have forgotten “separation of powers” and continues to extend executive power over the power of the courts. As Uranus moves into Gemini, there will be a growing body of protest to this, just as the American colonists protested the authority of King George.
The Threat of Wars:
The last time this Uranus transit took place was in wartime and the post-WWII era. America fought courageously in WWII against Fascism. Afterwards, the US made enormous investments in public education, the GI Bill enabling veterans to go to college, a coast-to-coast highway system, public transportation — all Gemini themes. This helped the US become the most successful economy in the world and created a prosperous middle class.
Now, following the Transit of Uranus in Taurus, we are witnessing a reversal in all this public investment, “dumbing down” the nation, creating the widest wealth gap between the billionaire class and the general public in our history, all of which would point toward the reversal of our remarkable gains. Now is the time and even the opportunity to reverse this downward spiral. Uranus often SHOCKS us as it symbolizes the “wake up” and “come alive” planet!
Currently, we are operating on the fringes of two major wars – the Israeli/Palestinian,/Iran War and the Russia/Ukraine War. This transit will cast a light on how far we will go militarily.
Uranus the Genius:
As stated above, this transit of Uranus blends harmoniously with Pluto in Aquarius and Neptune and Saturn in Aries – all signs of youth, energy, innovation, and fearless breakthroughs. The planets highlight curiosity, defying old, outworn norms in education, and leading the way to reforming our institutions, which are truly in need of major changes. This does NOT work well with the attempts of the Trump administration to erase funding, discredit, and blow up all our best universities, museums, scientific research institutions, and degrade the efforts of our greatest scientists, intellectuals, and thinkers. It does suggest the emergence of new and younger leaders, just in time to both improve and reassemble these institutions, arguably the best in the world. Recently, 33-year-old Progressive Liberal Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic primary for Mayor in New York City. This was a surprise “shake-up” typical of Uranus.
We will examine new systems of schooling that are more relevant and empowering — training that would encourage the trades and local entrepreneurship – made possible through affordable county colleges that offer two-year associate degrees assuring business acumen, licensing for electricians, plumbers, and builders, green agriculture and farming businesses, and are affordable to their student bodies.
We should continue to empower our advanced universities and scientific institutions, laying out a landscape of learning, research, expansion, and progress in solving the world’s most serious problems. I have been proposing this in all my books and many of my newsletters since 2007, and it is only recently that public discussions concerning this are being put into TV programming.
The mandate of Uranus is to transform us and lead the way to greater ideas and modes of thinking. We will REVISIT the ideal of democracy and what it entails, which will remind us that a government “by and for the people” requires the people to be informed, awake, and intelligent enough to act in their interests.
What Now?
The current transit of Mars in Virgo:
June 18 through Aug. 6.
This disturbing transit of Mars in Virgo will pass throughout our lives, inconjunct both Pluto (crisis/upheaval) and Saturn/Neptune (structure/flow), requiring us to make adjustments to conditions we normally cannot control. Pres. Trump’s bombing of nuclear sites in Iran will experience a backlash. In addition, Virgo is a sign concerned with labor and health issues, presenting us with a crisis in both realms. Trump’s arrest of undocumented immigrants has slashed the labor force across our nation, especially in healthcare services, hospitality, farming, and construction industries, forcing these people into hiding.
Because of the theme of health issues, there may be a widespread contagious illness (not a pandemic) that could take its toll on both animals and people. Problems in healthcare will emerge to haunt us, and we will begin to see the consequences of slashes in programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and the cutting of our institutes of health and medical research, along with the deadly vaccine reduction programs of Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Ironically, President Trump may suffer from a temporary health crisis.
The transit of Jupiter in Cancer:
June 10, 2025 – June 29, 2026
I will comment on this transit in upcoming newsletters as it makes its way through all our lives. This placement is considered “exalted” in astrological traditions for its generosity and expansion of nurture, family security, nutrition, and rain coming to dry areas. The downside is the prospect of extreme flooding of inland waterways.
The USA birth chart has Jupiter/Sun/Venus all in Cancer, which would explain many of our historic good fortunes through the years. Right now, we need all the help we can get as the current government has been “blowing up” our greatest and most acclaimed institutions, and slashing programs for the public-at-large in favor of tax breaks for the extremely rich persons whose monopolies dominate our economy.
Last month, the “No King” movement swept this nation’s cities in the biggest public protest in our history. Cancer is a sign concerned with safety at all costs, and we are in the middle of a historic crisis with environmental extinctions, escalating wars, and climate catastrophes. Americans tend to support presidents, initially, when they go to war, and traditional patriotic fervor will be in the mix. Trump’s motivation for this attack on Iran may be part of the reason for this looming war.
The Economy:
The massive and corrosive DEBT that lies within the very structure of our government is also shared with personal debts shared by the public-at-large and corporations who borrow money to buy back and hike up their stock prices. We have all noticed how inflation is ballooning, the dollar is falling in value, and gold and silver (as a safe play) are rising at rates not seen in multiple decades. Cryptocurrencies that have no real backing will also suffer wild swings to new highs, accompanied by hard falls. Recently, President. Trump made a “deal” with China, favoring trade with the US in rare earths, which are an absolute necessity for all our technologies. China controls about 90% of the rare earths and their processing.
The Trump tariffs, even if modified, are making matters much worse, even as the president has insulted many world leaders and heads of state, breaking alliances and trade agreements that have sustained us since the end of WWII. His threats of deportation of hundreds of thousands of previously legal immigrant students and undocumented migrants will backfire, as this will decrease labor markets, especially in agriculture, and destroy the credibility of the American legal system. His attacks on our leading universities and cultural icons are causing foreign students to flee to other nations, taking their brains and expertise with them.
Trump and the Republican controlled Congress holding onto obscene tax breaks for billionaires in this bill in Congress is destroying the US budget credibility domestically and abroad. Meanwhile, as stated above, the erosion and destruction of all the systems helping most Americans, i.e., Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, scientific research, education, and food assistance, etc., are a sacrifice too big for most Americans to bear.
Because of serious hyperinflation, an economic downturn and a threat to the viability of the dollar lie ahead. The big news, however, will be the crashing of real estate markets in parts of the nation most subject to climate catastrophes, mainly in the global South, such as Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Louisiana, California, and Florida. Homeowners’ insurance has become too expensive, and continued high interest rates are turning buyers away. In addition, too many people cannot afford to buy a home at current prices, which means prices will have to fall.
Mercury goes retrograde July 16th through August 10th, advising all of us not to start a new project, sign an important document, or make significant decisions. Mars is square Venus on July 21st, not good for the stock markets.
This summer, I actually see the emergence of new ideas, new people, and new solutions that will not fully come into view until 2026. Watch this period for clues of what is to come!
Science and Technology:
On May 16, 2025, an article was posted on the Jason Deegan High-Tech News entitled: “China’s artificial sun just set a nuclear fusion record that changes everything.” It goes on to say: “In a remarkable scientific leap, Chinese researchers have broken a world record by maintaining a superheated plasma for over 17 minutes – an achievement that marks a new milestone in the long and complex journey toward commercial nuclear fusion. The feat, accomplished inside a machine known as EAST (Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak), has the global fusion community buzzing with cautious optimism.”
Recently posted on Earth.com, an article entitled “Massive hydrogen reserves discovered beneath Earth’s mountains” informs us of the enormous breakthrough in energy through the retrieval and use of hydrogen. The article reveals: “We are at the threshold of introducing a revolutionary change in worldwide energy manufacturing by identifying these hydrogen resources.” Dr. Frank Swaan (geodynamic modeler at CTZ Hjeimholtte Center) reports: “ These deposits are found beneath rift-inversion orogens in mountain ranges that formed when once stretched crust was later squeezed back together… areas like the Pyrenees, Alps, and Balkans.” Hydrogen is used in nuclear fusion, battery technology, and hydrogen fuel cells – all pointing to a green energy revolution and the end of the use of fossil fuel.
On Yahoo.com, TCT, an article by Amy Boyington was posted entitled “Tiny pieces of plastic might be aging us from the inside out.” She reports: “A new scientific review published in Food and Chemical Toxicology suggests that microplastics and nanoplastics may accelerate aging at the cellular level. Scientists are investigating how these particles found in water, food, and dust affect the body over time.” This kind of information is so overwhelming for most of us to absorb. Processes of filtration, water purification, and various site cleanups will eventually come to the forefront as necessary to our collective survival!
In recent months, it has been reported on numerous sites that on the walls of a Paleolithic cave in Lascaux, France, a 40,000-year-old set of murals accurately depicting a star map of the Pleiades, Orion, and Taurus constellations has been found and photographed. These drawings are dated at about 17,000 BCE and are amazing for their astronomical accuracy. In these eras, it is thought the skies were examined to track seasons for planting, harvesting, and migrating, even though this dates to before the agricultural revolution. Astrology is derived from all this, as the constellations are relevant to what is happening in our lives here on earth. This would confirm what I often say to my clients — that I am in the “second oldest profession!”
Recently, Scientific American’s custom media published a pamphlet entitled “New Horizons in Safety Science”, stating: “Novel solutions are needed to safeguard Earth’s security, health — and future.” The articles in this publication are entitled: “Rethinking Fire Protection, How to Reduce Digital Dangers, and New Safeguards for Global Health.” The current transit of Jupiter in Cancer would encompass and enhance this information!
Last month, on CBS’s 60 Minutes, a report on an exciting and inspiring solution to affordable and sustainable housing was aired. A specially designed cement mixture was used as a material and constructed by 3-D PRINTING, solving many problems of energy efficiency, lasting weather-proof material, not having to pay for many expensive construction materials, etc. Developments are already being constructed that are visually pleasing and are selling in various locations. This option is truly worth considering.
Weather and Climate:
The week of July 20th, Venus and Mars will square the Moon’s Nodal Axis, pointing to earthquakes, volcanoes erupting, and serious storms developing. Over the past 6 months, we have had an inordinate number of tectonic events occurring throughout the world.
Final Thoughts:
“Near the snow, near the sun, in the highest
fields,
See how these names are feted by the waving
grass
And by the streamers of white cloud
And whispers of wind in the listening sky.
The names of those who in their lives fought
for life.
Who wore at their hearts the fire’s centre.
Born of the sun, they travelled a short while
toward the sun,
And left the vivid air signed with their honour.”
… from “I Think Continually of Those Who Were Great”
by Stephen Spender
Those of us experiencing our lives in this historic era — self-absorbed, unaware of what our history would cry out to tell us, worshiping the dynastic rich and the tribal narrow-minded, trapped within a technological tangle of useless and often paralyzing information — now need to look at heroes of the American Revolution, two world wars, and statesmen of conscience, who reached beyond their times. These people who sacrificed their comfort and their very lives for a notion that freedom of critical thinking, equality of opportunity, and respect for one another were the components of a shining human presence here on earth.
As each historic holiday presents itself, we look at the few men and women left who fought in WW11, who survived the Holocaust, whose generations built highways and infrastructures, financed advanced education and healthcare, and built America into the greatest economy and highest standard of living the world had ever seen. Now, these few persons in wheelchairs still salute the flag, honor their generation’s dead, and whisper in their low voices that they would do it all over again.
We need these hearts and minds to re-emerge in the souls of our young people today. The legacy is theirs, and the future is in their hands. I see them waking up, getting up, rising up, navigating their way out of a morass of wars, hatreds, and hopelessness that have been with us for far too long. The brand new planetary pictures are emerging in the sky to light the way into the next American revolution and the next possible evolutionary leap for humankind.
Blessings to All,
Linda
